Um, wow. OK, this takes the "wear something bright so I can spot you in a crowd" thing to a whole new level.

Powered by batteries, which I assume are housed in the big ol' Celtic-looking brooch at the center, the LumiTop (Butterfly version seen here) stays lit for over 12 hours. My questions are: Does it get hot? Are your retinas burned after having the constant glow in your peripheral vision? Who is wearing this besides ice dancers and circus performers? No one, I hope.

But if you happen to be an ice dancer or circus performer and are looking for a dazzling fiber-optic halter top with a "tail", this one will set you back 169 euros, or about $230.00.

Ask any two people what constitutes tacky behavior and you'll likely get very different answers. For some, tacky means excessive lawn ornaments, a dozen cats, and farm animal-themed toaster cozies. For others, it's driving a car with bumper stickers or letting your bra straps peek out from underneath a tank top. And then there are those types who think you're tacky if you wear white after Labor Day or butcher the pronunciation of "foie gras" in a restaurant.

Regardless of your standards, I think most of us will agree on the tackiness of the candidates below.

10. Richard Simmons - I think he's awesome, but look at the man - the shiny (waxed?) legs, the hot pants, the spirit fingers?? That's enough to earn the #10 spot on the list.

9. Bret Michaels - As the lead vocalist of Poison and star of the reality show "Rock of Love", there's no denying that this guy is exactly what fathers fear most when raising daughters.
