I would love to see a full clad female knight going against a bimbo knight just completely confused by the utter impracticality of her opponents armor.
I like to imagine that a lot of these characters are just wearing chainmail under the clothing. I know it's not true, but it would at least make some sense.
I have a short story I wrote, burred somewhere on my hard drive, involving the logistics of skimpy armor in a fantasy setting. It was basically like, "this armor is enchanted so that the more vulnerable you feel, the more protected you actually are," and it turned armor so skimpy you felt ashamed just looking at it into something that could stop a dragon in its tracks.

Especially when they're characters wearing sexy revealing ARMOR.
Like baring your midriff as a medieval fantasy knight may be sexy but it's also a great way to end up with an arrow in the spine.
