I’m a new moderator over at r/ArmoredWomen. It’s a subreddit with the same goal as this tumblr blog, but it’s open for everyone to post and vote. I thought you or your readers would be interested. I also linked back to this blog in the sidebar :)
P.S. If you are a Reddit user, you’re welcome to have a hand in moderating or be an approved submitter.
Not sure who this great model is, unfortunately. I did a reverse image search and all I could find was pictures from this shot on various “Stock Image” sites.
Anyone out there know who she is, or who the photographer was?
EDIT: Model is Andrey Kiselev, but still need to find out who the photographer was.
This is my LARP character, Ylva; she’s an elf, so leather is far preferable to metal. It was ridiculously hard to find this armour, as a quick google search for ‘female armour’ results in very small leather bikinis. Anyway, awesome blog; you’re going on my watch list!
