Women Fighters In Reasonable Armor

[Cramulus]

I thought this was cool:

http://womenfighters.tumblr.com

it's a photo blog devoted to fantasy art where the armor actually protects the woman instead of just making her look hot.

here's a comedy sketch about the same topic - why would anybody wear armor which exposes their cleavage and midriff? these guys try to explain it.

[Cainad (dec.)]

I wonder how many threads have been posted on 4chan's /tg/, full of both praise and furious bile for this site.

[Triple Zero]

I'd hit it.

(but just the shiny parts)

I like the bit under the boob-shaped breastplate where he links to some examples of male heroes with ridiculous armour as well.

Reminds me of a famous line from the Storm comic albums (Dutch sci-fi cartoon, dunno if it's very widely known) but "very nice, but hardly appropriate for travelling the desert" ... though later in the series the red-haired female hero companion is clad [by angels] [that have no genitals] [inside a fractal von neumann machine space ship] [on a quest ordered by the planet goddess Pandarve] [appearing either as Alice or Marylin Monroe] [goddamnit this series was great I gotta re-read it] in nothing but a sort of white robe, that gets increasingly translucent [for no apparent reason] as the series progresses, so maybe it's not a shining example of practical female wear.

While I will confess to having owned a chainmail bikini, it was NOT for combat...

Ouch.

Ouch, I say.

Yeah.   Not only do they pinch, if unlined, do NOT sit too close to the fire.

And for the guys in the audience, do not rub up against this sort of thing, unless you like mashing your junk on a cheese grater.

[LMNO]

ANY PROGRAM.

[Telarus]

ANY PROGRAM.

[Doktor Howl]

ANY PROGRAM.

THERE GOES MY HERO...

Hey, it's not a meat grinder, but...   well, yeah, it would be.

For the record, I just had the top.  No way in HELL was I wearing the bottom.

I'm Doktor Howl, and I approve of bottomless bikinis.
