    A new sort of Fencing Guide Book

    A friend sent this. Some of it's pretty silly. But hey it's art I suppose:
    (Caveat: possibly rated XXX)

    Dirty fencing. Very cool.
    The world never seems so clear as it does through the mesh of a fencing mask.
    Every touch teaches. Each loss a lesson.

    I'm sorry....there was fencing gear in those pics???
    Need fencing equipment? See me at H.O.M. Fencing Supply

    Going to your first tournament? Read "Choose yer weapon, Laddie (or: Dude, where's my foil?)"

    Hi!

    O gosh, some of them definitely look better with a mask on.

    One of the pics looked quite similar to one of ZZ in the website of her employer´s newsletter - only that ZZ had all her FIE whites on.

    There seems to be a clear case of weaponism going on - lots of epees, some sabres, but nary a foil in the whole thing.

    Are all the models just that, or did anyone recognize a bona fide fencer?

    I just googled it, and I managed to find 2 XXX-rated movie snippets set in fencing salles. One of them looked like it might have been created as a set by the movie company, but the other had so much fencing-specific stuff so that it must have been filmed on location. I guess someone was quite desperate for funds.


    Have a nice time!

    Typically, the foilists were still quarreling over the terms and details of their inclusion when the thing went to print.
    Use the Shift key, people! Keyboard manufacturers everywhere are ineffably saddened when you ignore what they made just for you!
