I have watched the movie Conan the Barbarian at least 100 times. It is one of my all time favorite movies ever and I guess it always will be.

The strange thing is that back in 82 when I was young and the film came out I could not stand the looks of Valeria.

I thought that if only they would have picked a more beautiful actress the movie would have been even better…. then as the years went by and i got older I started to think Valeria wasn’t so bad. Hmm… had I not given Sandahl Bergman (the actress who play Valeria in the movie) a fare shake?

No… I was just not enough of an adult. Sandahl Bergman is a powerful looking woman with a well built athletic body. Valeria is a powerful character who rules her own world. As a youth I sought sweet, pretty, non threatening women.  Sandahl Bergman is strong, overpowering and SEXY. I just needed to grow up a bit to get into a character such as her version of  Valeria.

When you look at a picture like the one above it is hard to wonder how I could have once thought she wasn’t attractive enough for the role of Valeria.

When you look at the picture below… it is easy to see the power I was talking about.

Yep, She is hot!

Another thing I would like to point out here is that Valeria has some pretty believable barbarian thief costumes throughout the movie. They didn’t sexy them up to much or make them to gaudy.

With that said…. we can’t have a post about Valeria, Conan, or Valeria’s warrior costumes without a picture of the Austrian Oak himself.

Not much of a costume was needed to make the 7 time Mr. O look sexy. His body did that all on it’s own… but the costuming for Arnold was just as spot on as Valeria’s.

Conan The Barbarian = Awesome!

King Osric:  What daring! What outrageousness! What insolence! What arrogance!… I salute you.

Xena : Warrior Princess was a very successful TV series that ran from 95 to 2001 and a lot of that success was due to the look of the star Lucy Lawless and her very sexy, powerful, and well done costumes.
I used to watch Xena … I started from the very first episode because I also watched Hercules – The Legendary Journeys starring Kevin Sorbo. Xena first appeared on that show and then went on to have her own.
Throughout the series she had many great costumes. I am only showing my favorite warrior style ones here because she had so many costumes it would be a gigantic post  if  I tried to show them all. Everything from fuzzy fur coats to harem style and bikini designed costumes. A lot of super sexy stuff.
Her warrior costumes always the most popular .. She was the Warrior princess after all.
Check out my faves…….

If you are wondering why I didn’t show her most common warrior costume it is because personally don’t like it that much. It was to bulky and didn’t flatter her…. plus everybody knows her in that one.
If you are wondering why I didn’t show your favorite Xena warrior costume it is because these are my favorites and we all have different tastes. As I said above “I am only showing my favorite warrior style ones here because she had so many costumes it would be a gigantic post if I tried to show them all.” 

So… now that you are thinking about Xena…. Go rent or buy the seasons and watch it all over again. A was a good entertaining show with great costumes!
The warrior Princess costume shown is available Here.
