    OTOH you cannot accuse her of covering the target.

    Goodness gracious -- she is not wearing a glove.

    Even worse, the foil bib is not conductive.

    Who would want to marry a girl who thinks that fencing is lame?

    Now, if she wanted to trade her foil for an epee, then she might find some takers.
    Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?

    trade her foil for a MOP?!!
    that is THE most sexist thing ever. if only this post had been around when i was doing my essay on sexism.
    is it like against women fencing?

    and i'd like to see what becomes of those legs after a couple of low-line parries.
    Was that an earthquake or did I just rock your world?

    I think that blade's over regulation length.

    Whatever problems people may have with her equipment, though, no one can argue that she isn't good at derobement.

    I wonder what it would be like to see two bigg-boobed, bikini-clad women fencing electric foil.... with lame fabric for the bikini fabric.

    THAT would be hot.

    They were blurry in the picture, but this is the take away I got from it:

    posing as a model with a foil is so gay,
    I wish the artist would stop.
    If I had my way, I'd be fencing epee,
    and flesching someone in the crotch.
