    Bikini Bellpads

    Alrighty, today I made a bell pad that is laminated with a picture of a hot girl in a bikini. How much would you pay for a kickass bell pad that displayed say, hot people, or musical groups, or themes, or just cool stuff like that?

    Where's the option for $0?

    Some people have too much free time on their hands (like me at work)...

    Personally, I use whatever thumb pad I have around. Some have company names on them, most are just pieces of felt.

    Yes, but get these bell pads, and you'll have something more attractive than free time on your hands!

    You'd probably have to pay me to use it, unless she was riduculously hot in which case I'll take one for free.

    Like the idea, but I wouldn't pay more than 6 bucks for one.

    If you made a GUARD that had a picture or name or something, but still conducted, I would definately pay extra for that. I don't really care about the pad....sorry.

    Most of the guard a lightish pink...the reinforcing part in the center a little darker...nice distraction, no??

    Yes, but you have to admit it's the breast idea you've heard in a while.

    OTOH, the insides of guards are CONCAVE.

    I would also vote for $0.00. I like the puffy leather bellpads. I was a bit put out that the last one I got from BG was a hot pink leather. My shiny new epee with a soft, pink, puffy bellpad. I am going to get **** from about half the directors in the division for that. Oh well, I have been meaning to try out the clear bellpads that LP makes for a bit now.

    Other than preferring the puffy soft leather pads over the plastic ones I do not have much opinion on it. It is a weapon after all. A tool that I will beat the crap out of and toss aside when it breaks. I have never been one to name my weapons or bury them at see when the break or any of that nonsense. Now if you made a conductive colored bell guard, now that I would pay some scratch for, but you better hurry because LP is already working on them!

    these are reinforced with felt, with a photo on the front, and laminated. Its of similiar pliability to the uhllman or PBT pads. Picture will soon follow.

    You could anodize alumunim guard easy enough, but I dont know how long the coating would last. The trick would be making the entire metal colored.

    Have you considered getting some leather dye?

    Heh heh, silly me. Here I was thinking that you were making bikini's out of bellpads! Shouldn't plant those mental images in an old man's brain. Especially when he's been "out of circulation" for a while! ;-)

    Euw.

    I can't imagine anyone looking good wearing my tattered, filthy, disgusting feltpads as clothing. Talk about a turn off.

    would certainly be an interesting use for the hole in the center of the bell pads though

    No one said anything about USED ones!

    Any aspiring fashion designers out there want to take a stab at it?
