Sabertooth Tigresses

It having been pointed out that the Fashionistas disproportionately cover foil fashion, at the April NAC in Los Angeles we turned our attention to the saber ladies.

My, what we've been missing. The color! The attitude! The HAIR!

 

The bustiers! (Bustiers? Sure, why not.)

Did we mention attitude?

And, of course, the camaraderie and joy.

The award for best lame goes to Laura Johnson. Yes, she IS a surgeon. (Now Allison wants a needle and thread on her lame. I, of course, want a badger.)

One small beef. Why does Uhlman make an armored glove for saber, but not foil? (Says the foilist with scars from eight stitches on two fingers.)

Also of note: 

Is "excessive color" a cardable offense? Perhaps a lime green card?

What happens if I remove one of the epees?

And last but not least, some clever bits from our friendly armorers.

A seam ripper on steroids:

And a colorful lego base for multimeters. As one does.

That's all for now. We may do a post or two of backlogged gems between now and July. Otherwise, dress your best for Nationals and we look forward to seeing you in Milwaukee!
