I want to be Grace Jones and Tank Girl when I grow up
I find it interesting that they're both very feminine and very masculine, and they somehow manage to blend all that with a great sense of humor. I also love their whole desert-primal-meets-sci-fi thing, even though I personally favor a Cyndi-Lauper-meets-Kate-Spade thing, and I'd like to think that lurking not so deeply within me is an element of Jones's and Tank Girl's fearless, punk-rock power.

Feel the burn, bionic Grandma

A.R.M.S. - Adaptive Responsive Muscle Support
I found this by accident when, per someone's mention on Facebook, I searched for "Clever" brand underwear. Turns out that by "Clever" they really mean "Festive palettes for your weekend on Fire Island, but not necessarily as witty as the label would suggest."
A.R.M.S., however, strikes me as truly clever underwear. From the site: "A.R.M.S. is a collection of clever underwear that increases the user's muscle power after suffering a stroke, spasms etc." Great for Grandma, stupendous for athletes; the whole do-we-really-need-to-ban-certain-athletic-clothing debate is already rearing its ugly head, and I for one enjoy seeing fuel added to the fire. In the meantime, I look forward to seeing my mom bench-pressing an Escalade.
