English term or phrase: Valkyrie bra
Hi,

Pls see
http://www.search.com/reference/Terrifica

"Since the mid 1990s Terrifica has donned her trademark golden mask, Valkyrie bra, blond wig, red boots and cape to "protect the single girl living in the big city". Her costume acts as a distraction to the men she tries to dissuade from seducing drunk young women. Along with her costume, she carries a utility belt containing a cell phone, lipstick, a camera to photograph alleged predators, a journal, Terrifica fortune cards and Smarties for energy. "

Many thanks,

Simon

agree  Ken Cox: an armoured bra worn on the outside of the clothing -- a few pictures of Terrifica (not very clear with regard to the bra) can be found with a google image search, but (surprisingly) none for Valkyrie bra

agree  Can Altinbay: Nesrin's reference is what I pictured. Too many bad Wagner references and time wasted reading The Avengers comics as a youth. :-)

agree  Noni Gilbert Riley: Yes, I obviously followed Ken`s route. Madonna's Jean Paul Gaultier numbers are a variation on the theme, and stimes known as "conical bras": http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/1297773.stm. And many thanks to Nesrin - gt link!
