Flutterby™! : Codpieces and Booty shorts

So some of my Facebook friends are totally into guys in short shorts, and some of my Facebook friends are totally into Ren Faire costuming, and every once in a while I find a topic that crosses those cultural boundaries. A friend's post started with a different view of the costumed gentleman that's showing up in the preview here, which brought up some historical questions (like "is that blue really period?"), but went down a rabbit hole of Landsknecht, German mercenaries from the 15th Century, and... yeah. Codpieces and booty shorts for the win.
