Nicki Minaj released her new "Pound the Alarm" video today, and as our brethren over at Vulture pointed out, it features a fascinating and unfamiliar garment (in addition to her usual jeweled bra tops, bikini bottoms, nipple chains, fishnet tights, and the like): hot-pink feathery things affixed to the fronts of her shins, sort of like a below-the-knee boa.
