A girl who can actually wear a chain mail bikini!

Chain mail bikinis are not historic. They are farsical and the invention of 1970s sword and sorcery art for Conan the Barbarian and Red Sonja. The wire bikini worn by Princess Leiah in Return of the Jedi cemented them into popular culture and they are a mainstay at renaissance festivals now. Unfortunately they usually look ridiculous on the women who wear them.

 

However, this young lady would certainly be the exception. I think she stepped out of a Boris Vallejo painting or something. Karela the Red Hawk perhaps?
