Line 15:
When this outfit shows up in films and TV shows, it's almost always done through [[Dawson Casting]]. Likewise, when it's done by [[Sexy Schoolwoman|fully-grown women]], it's almost always a case of [[Fan Service]] in action.
 
In Britain, where the trope is not associated with Roman Catholicism to the same extent (due to uniforms being much more common, even in [[Separated by a Common Language|what North Americans call]] public schools), this look is known as the "[[St Trinian's]] Girl", after a series of [[Boarding School]] movies by that name. Related, but not identical, to the sailor-suited Japanese schoolgirl fetish, [[Joshikousei]].
 
Slowly becoming part of the "once common but no longer generally required" subtrope of [[Hollywood Dress Code]], since many real Catholic schools change their uniforms to unisex khakis and polo shirts.
 
A subtrope of [[Adults Dressed as Children]].

{{examples}}
Line 28 ⟶ 30:
 
== Comic Books ==
* An issue of the ''New X-Men'' had [[X-23]] dressed in a provocative [http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/hh78/ColonelGreen/LJ51.jpg school girl outfit]{{Dead link}}.
* ''[[Empowered]]'': While these girls are indeed beautiful, they got their looks by [[Deal with the Devil|selling their souls]]. Yes, all of them.
* ''[[Xombi]]'': Young superheroine Catholic Girl, and by implication, her ally and mentor, Nun Of The Above (who is presumably a former Catholic School Girl).
 
 
== Films ==
Line 57 ⟶ 58:
{{quote|"Catholic school was great! I mean, the teachers kind of sucked, and they were supposedly way more strict, but you could get away with ''murder''."}}
* In the opening of ''[[The Transporter]] 2'', Frank is unsuccessfully carjacked by a [[Zettai Ryouiki]] girl in a pleated tartan skirt. After wiping the floor with her carjacking gang, he suggests she's got some homework to do. She runs off.
* ''[[Wild Things]]'' gives Denise Richard's character a non-plaid variant for the threesome scene. It's not there for long.
 
 
== Literature ==
Line 65:
* In [[Stephen King]]'s ''Hearts in Atlantis'', one of the main characters, Pete Riley, remarks that Catholic school girls give the best handjobs; he's changed his mind about a lot of things, but that's not one of them.
* In ''[[Wicked Lovely]]'', Aislinn and co go to a Catholic school. It isn't gone into much, given that the series tends to be pretty cynical/dark/serious in tone, but Leslie definitely fits this stereotype. At least until [[Rape as Redemption|She was raped]]. The guys who harass Aislinn in the first book also comment on this, pulling on her skirt, etc.
 
 
== Live-Action TV ==
Line 114 ⟶ 113:
'''Danny:''' Great, now I have to think about you in that uniform all day. }}
* In one episode of ''[[Boy Meets World]]'', Shawn gets excited when he finds on the subway a group of Catholic schoolgirls who "ditched their nun" (and yes, they were wearing the uniform).
 
 
== Music ==
Line 128 ⟶ 126:
* Lyn-Z Way of [[Mindless Self Indulgence]] often wears a slightly-less [[Stripperiffic]] version of this outfit during live shows.
* The [[Hugo Award|Hugo nominated]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e1IxOS4VzKM Fuck Me], [[Ray Bradbury]], courtesy of Rachel Bloom, plays this trope for all it's worth. [http://www.wired.com/underwire/2010/08/rachel-bloom-ray-bradbury/ Happy Birthday, Ray!]
* [[t.A.T.u.|t.a.T.u]]'s "All the Things She Said" video, which crosses this trope with [[Schoolgirl Lesbians]].
 
 
== Professional Wrestling ==
* Stacy Kiebler showed up on the runway wearing a Roman Catholic schoolgirl uniform. Her appearance was the height of hotness. The reactions from the middle-age-or-older men around the runway were the height of [[Nightmare Fuel]].
** [[WWE]] has put on several "schoolgirl" matches, which give their female wrestlers an excuse to dress like this and beat each other with school-themed weapons like yardsticks to the delight of the audience.
 
 
== Toys ==
* [http://www.herobuilders.com/08.htm This Sarah Palin School Girl action figure.]
 
 
== Video Games ==
Line 144 ⟶ 139:

'''Raye:''' Catholic girls taste better. }}
* ''Hot For Words'', the youtube "phenomenon", has host Marina Orlova dressing up in this uniform with alarming frequency.
* ''[[The Nostalgia Critic]]'': In a [[Rare Male Example]], the knowledge that the Critic went to catholic school (and you know how he grew up) put some ''really'' dirty thoughts into fan's heads.
* The characters in [[Survival of the Fittest|SOTF-TV]] each get alternate outfits inside their daypacks, usually either [[Fan Service]]-y, humorous, or both. Naturally, a character (specifically, Mikaela Warner) gets this costume.
