The skinny, flat-chested witch Magrat, on the other hand, borrows the fearsomely bosomy breastplate of the mythical Queen Ynci the Terrible to go and battle elves, and as a result ends up much more fearsome herself. Because no one told her it's just a decorative "remake" made from a washbasin—it looks impressive.

Parodied in the comic series Cerebus the Aardvark: when 'Red Sophia' tries to seduce the titular earth pig by removing the top of her chainmail bikini, he snidely retorts that the swelling ought to go down eventually if she'd stop wearing it. I've had several people ask how I like the new Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM zoom lens and how it compares to the original IS version. I must say it's amazingly better then the original both sharper and with amazing stabilization. Here are some things you need to know about this exotic type of swimwear. How and where to use chainmail bikini?A Simple Survey has a video-game style hero who only has a skirt on her lower half, leaving her legs unprotected. She actually complains about the fact that she's expected to dress in this manner, since her legs get scratched whenever she walks through rough terrain. In Final Fantasy IX, while the male Knights of Pluto get to clank around in plate armour, the Queen's all-female guard tends to invest in helmets, boots, and one-piece swimsuits. Not often where 'show some leg' meets 'oppressive imperial army'. In The Elder Scrolls IV: Shivering Isles, the titular Shivering Isles are guarded almost entirely by women in bikini armor, which perhaps explains why they're called the Shivering Isles but not why they're not called the "Shivering and Jiggling Isles". The male version of the armor is still a little silly, but not so revealing. Justified by the fact that they're Daedra (read: demigods) and thus are immortal and don't need much protection anyhow. Lampshaded in Persona 3. The High-Cut Armor (for females only) is essentially this (although you only get to see the avatar change in the FES expansion), but your party members will be embarrassed and only reluctantly agree to wear it. Occasionally, someone will claim (in-universe or out) that Wonder Woman's swimsuit-like outfit is supposed to be armor.

The world literally runs off Rule of Sexy. note Something to do with the fundamental magical forces of the universe. Played out beautifully in Wolf's Rain. Yes, Jaguara does wear armor that clearly displays her "assets" to anyone she might allow to be in her presence... so guess where Darcia finally skewers her?, granted she was trying to seduce him, but she also anticipated a battle with the wolves. While the armour isn't metal, there are metal chains holding the pieces together, which is a nice touch. Somewhat justified in Zero Zero Nine One. Mylene is an Action Girl with missile breasts, so she gets one slapped on her if she's captured by a Genre Savvy villain. In With Strings Attached, John and Ringo encounter one of these while going through the Idris' attic, prompting the observation, “Christ, it'd rub your nipples right off.”Even the male characters weren't safe from this. Look at the artwork for Guy, a character from Final Fantasy II. He may have even pioneered the style.
