Quote - It's not just Poser. Just finished watching part of "Arthur", in which Gwenhwyver not only joins the final battle, but, unlike the head-to-toe armor of the men, she's wearing a halter top and mini-skirt. I don't know about you, but seeing a 90-lb, scantily clad woman whacking at a huge, armored Saxon makes absolutely no sense. Compared to that, a firefighter who replaced the bulky britches with fishnet stockings doesn't seem that weird.
As an aside to the commenting on the firefighter costume....
In the movie "Arthur" Guinevere was depicted as Merlin's daughter and her "tribe" even though called "woads" in the movie were supposedly portraying the Pictish people. In legend and history they were known to paint their bodies before battle with blue and go into battle half naked or naked.
So the scantily clad Guinevere would have been in keeping with that legend/history.
I know this reply is totally random, but just wanted to point that out, since in this particular case, it would be portrayed as it should be. :)
