Holiday bra discussion usually centers around Victoria's Secret's diamond creations. (This year Marisa Miller gets the honor of wearing the $3 million Harlequin Fantasy Bra.) Extravagant decadence, however, doesn't protect you from the swine flu. Dr. Elena Bodnar's soon-to-be released creation does.

The Convertible Bra-Mask is designed to break in half, providing two cups to protect against harmful toxins. Bodnar created it after the Chernobyl nuclear accident, wanting a safety product that was "simple, economical and always on you."

Why you couldn't just carry a disposable surgical mask in your purse is beyond us. And who really wants to do an impromptu striptease in public? Not to mention the leverage this could give men if they're caught sniffing a woman's lingerie!

And no, this isn't a Friday the 13th prank. That's Bodnar in the pic above, winning an Ig Nobel Prize for her invention last month. Seriously.
