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.

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.
