Media depiction

The obvious sex appeal of the apparel prompted numerous film and television productions as soon as public mores changed to accept it. They include the numerous surf movies of the early 1960s and the television series, Baywatch.

In addition, a variant of the bikini popular in fantasy literature is a bikini that is made up of metal to serve as (admittedly rather impractical) armor (Sometimes referred to as a Chainmail Bikini). The character Red Sonja is a famous example. A re-enactment term for such usage, where sex appeal is more important than actual practicality is babes-at-arms (parody from "men-at-arms" for a fully armoured soldier).
