'Mystic Warrior' (definitely not a Jedi) Libby.
More disturbing is Dominatrix Libby....

No comment on dominatrix libby.

Heh, it was painted as a light saber on their site, until they switched back to showing original sculpts and unpainted minis.
They also have a not Scooby, a not Shaggy, a not Mal, a not Kaley.... It is possible that there is a pattern here....
Jinkies!

Agreed. If you armor nothing else, you armor the head. Helmet is top priority. Once you've got that, you cover neck, chest and belly. Everything else is of substantially lesser importance.
(I always kind of wonder why artists who want to portray sexy female warriors don't go with Roman legionary armor. It's practical combat gear that also shows a fair bit of skin. But then, I guess the point of cheesecake is to emphasize that the character considers looking sexy to be more important than survival.)

Or at least have the helmet ready - tucked under the arm, sitting on the ground while the model is in a relaxed pose....
But the gut is an even better target than the head- less likely to get out of the way. One slice, and then it's the onion test....
The Auld Grump, feed the victim onions, wait a bit, then sniff the wound. If you smell onions then the person is going to die.
*EDIT* Yep, just checked, both models I linked to are wearing helmets, though one has horns and the other has hair just waiting to be grabbed....
If you've been slashed across the belly, you can still act to defend yourself and even fight back, albeit feebly; slashed-open abdominal muscles is a crippling injury but not paralyzing. A good hard knock on the head, however, and it's lights out. You cease to be a threat and the enemy can finish you off at her leisure.
Like I said, neck/chest/belly are the next things you protect after the head. But the head comes first. To the best of my knowledge, in all of history there has never been an army that gave its soldiers armor but not helmets.
While true, the picture I was looking for needed to be clearly female, so the face would need to be showing unless the picture had cleavage baring armor and/or boob plating.

This site seems to have some good shots: Full suit of armor | Armor suits :: ArmStreet
Of particular relevance: Fantasy Stainless Full Women's Lady-Warrior Armor Set :: ArmStreet
And a two-fer: http://www.varmouries.com/cgallery/gothbaba.jpg
I find it interesting that the best "woman in actual armor" pictures are from sites trying to sell actual armor. There's obviously a market for such things.
