Ignore the Fanservice: Difference between revisions

* In Terry Pratchett's ''[[Discworld/Mort|Mort]]'', when the title character knocks on Ysabel's bedroom door, she quickly adjusts the neckline of her nightgown to be a bit more revealing, then invites him in. Mort simply tells her to follow him, since he needs her help looking something up in the library. As he heads out, he adds, "And put something on, you're overflowing."

* In the ''[[Doctor Who]] [[Eighth Doctor Adventures]]'' novel ''Camera Obscura'', the first chapter concerns [[Noble Demon]] Sabbath meeting his [[Morality Pet]] ''du jour''. She's a [[Cute and Psycho|violent]], [[Broken Bird|troubled]], [[The Ophelia|crazy teenage girl]]. Being used to men sexually harassing her, she decides to [[Show Some Leg]] to get him interested, as she's in a [[Bedlam House]] and would like to leave. He ignores what she's doing until she gets bored of it. When she suggests that he might have prurient motives for hiring her, he's neither startled nor interested by it. By the end of the book, it's implied that they're having some sort of chaste love affair.

* In [[Robert A. Heinlein]]'s ''[[The Number of the Beast]]'', this is how Zeb and Deety clue to the fact that the "park ranger" accosting them is an alien; Deety's abrupt strip tease does not distract him or even engage his interest.

* Also in ''[[The Puppet Masters (novel)|The Puppet Masters]]'', book and film. Heinlein's standard litmus test for identifying non-humans usually involves boobs. Fair enough.
