VERY Funny!!!! I laughed uproariously!
We Billiards, however, know that less is not necessarily more when it comes to women’s clothing, including armor. Klingon women manage to look quite seductive despite having their torsos well-protected. And if you don’t agree with them on that, they’ll crush your forehead like a first-generation Starfleet bulkhead.
Klingons like Mara in “Day of the Dove” weren’t too bad. She was wearing that ultralight metalweave, too. Don’t like the new Klingons from Star Trek the Motion Sickness onward, though. The old Klingons were smart, devious. The new ones can be beaten just by getting them angry so they mess up.
Of course they were smart and devious. By their own reluctant admission, it was because they had human Augment genes in them. That addition also removed their head ridges. No wonder they don’t like to talk about the circumstances with outsiders. It was bad enough to be defeated by an “inferior” species, it was even worse to find out it was not so inferior after all.
I like the “just get them so angry that they mess up” Klingons better. They actually make a better contrast to Humans and everybody else. For every strength there is a weakness and vice versa. The old Klingons were too much like our Cold War adversaries to be really different. The new ones had formidable weaknesses befitting their formidable strengths.
But you did give me my best laugh for the morning, with that quip about Star Trek: The Motion Sickness. Never was a thicker layer of special effects laid on so thin a story line.
If you have great patience…

Interesting that it actually took far less time, but much greater skills to forge plate armor than mail. You can imagine how long it too to cut, link, heat, and temper 70,000 links in a suit of mail would take an armorer.
Mr. Rakkav,
Please refrain from this nonsense that “…less is not necessarily more when it comes to women’s clothing…” crap. We have women in here who weed to continue to fool into thinking that less, is in fact, more.
Sincerely,
The Male Populous of the Billbarian World.
The last I heard, most women around here seem as reluctant to take that advice as you, so you’re probably perfectly safe.
Meanwhile, you might want to take a look at Robert Heinlein on that subject. 
This one came out today:

She’s got better coverage but still follows the “standard”.
So true! Remembers me this: http://www.halolz.com/2011/01/23/gearing-up-the-hero/ It’s a cartoon about the video game Dragon Quest which has many light geared heroines in. So it’s also self ironical.
one thing i like about fantasy, whatever genre it be, the women in it all dress like burlesque queens.
who cant love women fighting dragons in bikinis and high heel shoes, with glamour makeup on their faces and hair dos that never get a hair out of place.
This reminds me of when someone I know was making character concept art for a flash game they were making. The only playable character was female, and they were thinking about putting her in armor bikinis. I basically told them, my practicality is warring with my love of sexiness. Put her in something that actually covers the torso. The armor turned into a leotard, but at least it’s harder to be disemboweled that way.
Ha! I saw this video just the other day and thought it was hilarious. Especially the end.
Phil Folgio did a similar sketch for his Phil and Dixie strip in Dragon Magazine. The ending was the guy runing with just a loincloth.
Exactly how much of Bill’s body surface is covered by his “armor”? Hmmmmmm? Not much more, percentage-wise, than Gina’s. The Billverse, at least, is completely fair that way! So, if any warrior ladies want to complain, they’re going to need to complain somewhere else.
