Janet Jackson's "nipple brooch"

I would like to draw attention to the New York Times's referring today to Janet Jackson's famous metallic nipple covering ("pastie," to some) as a "nipple brooch."

Haven't read that one before. Perhaps because not that many opportunities arise.

Another source called it a medallion. Apparently there was piercing involved. In either case, I kept hearing the Beatles singing, "Here comes the sun."
