The Terracotta Warriors are coming to the Asian Art so in honor of that, I was greeted by a full-page sword hottie in the Style section. I love the SF Chron. Newspapers still rock.

A squadron of warriors is set to descend on San Francisco's Asian Art Museum next week, unleashing a rare glimpse of the Qin Dynasty in 210 B.C. "China's Terracotta Warriors: The First Emperor's Legacy" will present 10 life-size terra cotta warriors from a collection of more than 8,000 discovered in 1974 in the First Emperor's burial chambers, along with 110 rare objects in bronze, gold and other materials. The discovery is considered on par with the treasures of the tombs of the pharaohs of Egypt.

The warrior sculptures, each unique, were made to represent the armies of Qin Shihuang, the first emperor of China. They were buried with him in an underground complex the size of four football fields, and remain one of the true wonders of the ancient world.

Today's fashion world seems to be having an extended military moment - although with a softer edge than the stoic general and kneeling archer clad in limestone suits of armor on view in the museum's Osher Gallery.

Spring's collections featured prints and fabric manipulations in soft, neutral colors reflecting the texture, color and energy of the remarkable statues. With the rise of independent fashion, it's all about designer-meets-handmade Etsy pieces for a unique, high-low look. This spring, whether urbanites wear pleated jackets or digital moon prints, the idea is to march forward in layered, out-of-the-ordinary fabrics with bold silhouettes - all the better to tune in to their own warrior spirits.

China's Terracotta Warriors: The First Emperor's Legacy: 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Tuesday-Sunday, 10 a.m.-9 p.m. Thursdays. Friday-May 27. Asian Art Museum, 200 Larkin St., S.F. $10-$22. (415) 581-3500. www.asianart.org.

No matter how you disguise yourself today, you cannot escape your fate this Thor's Day.

Meanwhile, back on topic: Babes with Blades! I'm not sure how these two theatrical groups have escaped us for so long. Maybe it was confounded by Kung Fu Femmes.
