Chain mail bikini is a really specific item and it is really hard to compare them with anything else. We've been hand making incredibly comfortable and attractive chainmail bikini tops for over 15 years. Chainmail bikinis are a timeworn tradition among Dungeons & Dragons fans, and our pieces are incredibly popular with medieval groups and renaissance fairs over the world. Our tops are made to be worn and are popular with belly dancers as well as for all day wear at Renaissance faires and SCA events. Comfort is our highest priority. When we mention chainmail bikini, your first thought will probably be "Lord of the rings" or "Dungeons and Dragons". Hell yeah, instead of taking out sl** mogs make it more inclusive to all genders. Good move blizz. Comment by Ladylewind on 2022-12-17T14:23:05-06:00
Occasionally, someone will claim (in-universe or out) that Wonder Woman's swimsuit-like outfit is supposed to be armor. The main difficulty that Angua presented was that someone was going to have to take a, well let's be honest, a ''breastplate'' down to the armourer and get him to beat it out really well ''here'' and ''here''." Taarna's get-up from ''WesternAnimation/HeavyMetal''. What scant clothing she wears seemed to be ''modeled'' on various pieces of armor, despite being made of cloth. The only parts that appear to actually be armored are her right arm and her boots. Red Sonja is not super familiar to me, but I'm aware of her character. While there is much depth to the character, but it generally boils down to Red Sonja being assaulted and swearing revenge, and is blessed with top notch Barbarian fighting prowess in exchange for a life of not getting laid unless she is bested in combat by the man in question.Lampshaded in Phyllis Ann Karr's ''A Night at Two Inns'', in which a sensibly dressed warrior woman watches a scuffle between {{Captain Ersatz}}s of Conan and Red Sonja, and is appalled by "Sonja's" impractical attire. Creator/MarvelComics' Red Sonja is the original chainmail-bikini wearer.[[note]]Though ironically enough, most artists draw her outfit as being made of ''scale'' armor rather than chainmail - possibly because scales are easier to draw than chain links.[[/note]] In an interview when she began writing for the series, Creator/GailSimone said she didn't view it as armor at all, and was surprised that people did. It's made a bit more practical in ''Literature/UnseenAcademicals'' with the advent of "micromail", chainmail made from many, many small links that, as is [[RunningGag repeatedly stated]], doesn't chafe... and it's later demonstrated that a pair of boxer shorts made from the stuff can ''literally deflect a blow from a sledgehammer''. While this trope is a possibility, its ''intended'' use is as dwarf underwear (since they refuse to wear anything but leather and metal). There is some humor on this subject when the City Watch in the novels starts recruiting female members and needs to find uniforms that fit them. This eventually becomes a running joke as the City Watch starts including members of all shapes and species, so being "in uniform" means wearing whatever parts of a uniform one can. Although in this case the breastplates are not actually revealing and skimpy, just modified to accommodate cleavage. There had been no women in the watch before, and the breastplates were all forged centuries ago to a standard pattern...
someone at blizzard has watched viva la dirt leagues Epic NPC man Comment by TerribleTurnip on 2022-12-17T14:20:53-06:00 NSFW comic ''ComicBook/{{xXxenophile}}'' frequently invokes this, for both male and female characters (when they bother to wear anything at all). Literature/SchooledInMagic'': Emily sees a group of women wearing them outside Whitehall, protectors of their virginal sisters. She speculates it's merely to make a statement of their femininity, rather than offer actual protection.The naming of the ship was a radical departure from the general practice of the time, which was to name aircraft carriers after battles or previous US Navy ships. After the Doolittle Raid, launched from the aircraft carrier Hornet, President Roosevelt answered a reporter's question by saying that the raid had been launched from "Shangri-La", the fictional faraway land of the James Hilton novel Lost Horizon. Shangri-La continued her United States Second Fleet and Sixth Fleet assignments for the next six years. From 15 February 1965 to 20 September 1965, she made a Mediterranean deployment with Carrier Air Wing 10 embarked. Yet another different version is told in ''Red Sonja: Ballad of the Red Goddess'': the Goddess empowers Sonja and grants her a mighty sword, but as she announces that Sonja will also receive a full-clad armor. Sonja rejects that, because she wants every evildoer she battles to know that she is a woman. The Goddess clads her then on the iconical chainmail bikini. This story was written by Roy Thomas, Sonja's creator, and drawn by Esteban Maroto, the first artist to draw her in chainmail lingerie, so it's as close as we could get to a "canonical" origin for the outfit. Hippolyta's most iconic Golden age outfit had a "top" that consisted of two conical metal cups over her breasts and some straps to hold it on. The swimwear set is made of numerous small chains that are combined into a special item. Because of the metal, the item is susceptible to corrosion so prolonged exposure will make it rust. So, if you intend to wear it to beaches or pool parties, keep in mind that it has a life span. Is this beachwear heavy?
ComicBook/WonderWoman1942'': Queen Clea and Zara both wear what are essentially strapless metal bras for tops. Clea seems to be going for armor, while Zara is just using the fashion to bolster her scam cult. The female warrior in ''Literature/SonicTheHedgehogInCastleRobotnik'' ''"wore various flimsy garments made out of leather which were obviously two sizes too small for her. [[ExposedToTheElements It was plain to see she was rather chilly too]]."'' the bikini mail for males rofl wasnt expecting that Comment by Hunterlulz on 2022-12-17T14:20:32-06:00In ''Film/ThreeHundred'', the Spartans go into combat with bare chests and bikini briefs. This is taken from the original graphic novel, where the Spartans wore ''[[MaleFrontalNudity nothing at all]]'' aside from their cloaks, which itself draws from classical Greek "heroic nudity" in art. In actual history, of course, they would have been some of the most heavily-armoured soldiers in the ancient world. Thank you Liz, Judy, Barb and Howard for the support and good wishes...and Steve, if you hadn't insisted on 'Stacey Updates' I might not have gone as far as I did with this. . .but I'm so glad I did! Characters/MarvelComicsLauraKinney X-23]] gets a boob plate variant from Muramasa in ''Comicbook/AllNewWolverine'' #29. It's forged from pieces of the souls of herself, [[Characters/WolverineSupportingCharacters Daken]], and Gabby, and its purpose is to protect her from bullets crafted from the HealingFactor-nullifying Muramasa Blade, so it's a less egregious example than most.
