Since many a bad guy is male . . . the portions protected by these chainmail bikinis are naturally where their looking and thus aiming at so of course thats all they need to protect. After all, it costs alot to armor everything.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14994365.post-1150853773139395622006-06-21T02:36:00.000+01:002006-06-21T02:36:00.000+01:00Fair point on the generic term.

Yes, Sonaj's costume is, depending on the artist, exploitive. But is Conan is any better protected in his fur loincloth? At least Sonja has a goddess blessing her. Conan's patron god is known primarily for turning against people who ask him for help.<BR/><BR/>As for the image, there's a similar joke in the fantasy parody manga Van Von Hunter involving a necromancer in a brass bra and not much else and how the world's greatest archer manages to hit the ONE part of her that is armored... proving his skill but simultaneously getting himself and his brother killed by zombies. :PAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14994365.post-1150846403806929902006-06-21T00:33:00.000+01:002006-06-21T00:33:00.000+01:00I would love to see that picture.I would love to see that picture.Marionettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06985975073151200366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14994365.post-1150802567237403582006-06-20T12:22:00.000+01:002006-06-20T12:22:00.000+01:00A Friend Of A friend used to be in a gaming group ...A Friend Of A friend used to be in a gaming group that went along to conventions with themed costumes. One year they all wore T-shirts with a cartoon of a Red-Sonja-type barbarian lass standing atop a pile of vanquished foes, with axes and swords embedded in every millimetre of her saucepan-lid bra and chainmail g-string, and the caption: "Fortunately, I Was Wearing My Armor". They adopted the acronym (FIWWMA, pronounced /FEW-ma/) as the name of their team.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14994365.post-1150801822640628792006-06-20T12:10:00.000+01:002006-06-20T12:10:00.000+01:00I was using the term "chainmail bikini" as a gener...I was using the term "chainmail bikini" as a generic reference to any implausably minimal costume worn by a woman in fantasy stories.
