Hey, it never hurts to broaden your product portfolio:

Apparently, a male version was also prototyped, but it produced less than half the current.

    Probably not a good idea to wear under your clothes when going through the airport TSA security checkpoints...

    I'm doubtful of the longevity of the photo cells.

    There should be a way to harness the energy of on-lookers racing hearts :-)

    You are, of course, referring to the solar cells and not the model.......... silicon vs silicone

    Yes, very sad. But I provide hope for those models. For the girls in question, I suggest they use the new transparent photoconductive silicone oil I'm developing now. Unfortunately, because it's still in the prototype stage, it must be applied very slowly by hand. But, always the dedicated scientist, I am willing to make sacrifices of this sort.

    (Insert cheeky smile here).... Of course. All is permissible in the name of science:)

    Never underestimate the power of fashion industry marketing. Remember those black chunky nerd glasses you were ridiculed for wearing in high school? Well I do, I wore them because they were cheap, and my family didn't have much money. Well...

    Now they're cool and cost a bundle. All it took was models and marketing by the merchants of cool. Watch for Lady Gaga wearing a solar powered bikini in her next video and they'll fly off the shelves.

    Then there's the opportunity to add transparent flexible LED mesh to the garment: http://http://www.optoiq.com/index/photonics-technologies-applications/lfw-display/lfw-article-display/369687/articles/laser-focus-world/volume-45/issue-10/world-news/led-fabrication-iled-array-is-a-true-flexible-display.html
