Line 7: Female examples of this trope, as of so many other [[Always Female]] tropes, may be [[Fetish Fuel]]. The rare examples of a male doing this tend to be [[Played for Laughs]]. {{noreallife\|Real Life does not have montages.}} {{examples}} Line 16 ⟶ 17: * In the film adaptation of ''[[V for Vendetta]]'', Evie does this while V gets his gear ready to fight. * In the reprise of "Tonight" in ''[[West Side Story]]'', Anita has a L&LM song while the gangs prepare for the rumble. * Early in ''[[Pretty Woman]]'', when Vivian and her roommate are preparing to work the street. * During the closing credits of ''[[Sucker Punch]]''. * In ''[[The Hairy Bird]]'', the girls are shown getting ready for the St. Ambrose boys to visit. * ''[[Tetsuo: ~~the~~The Iron Man]]'' shows the antagonist changing his hairstyle, painting his lips, and putting on eye makeup before his confrontation with the protagonist. * Elle Woods in the opening credits of ''[[Legally Blonde]]''. * Gender-flipped during the opening credits of ''[[To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar]]'', with [[Patrick Swayze]] and [[Wesley Snipes]] performing it, ''fabulously'' of course. * In the opening sequence of a Thai movie ''[[Beautiful Boxer]]'', juxtaposed with a [[Lock and Load Montage]] of a boxer preparing for a fight. Played with in that both sequences are performed by {{spoiler\|[[~~Transsexual~~Transsexualism\|the same person.]] }} == Literature == * In the ''[[~~Daughters of the Moon (Literature)\|~~Daughters of the Moon]]'' series, (at least in the first two) before the big showdown against the Atrox, there's a sequence of the main character putting on beautiful clothes and ~~makeup -- but~~makeup—but rather justified in the first, ''Goddess of the Night,'' because the character is 1. Going to a club, and oughta look good anyway, and 2. Describes it as battle ~~paint -- the~~paint—the psychological preparation is as important as anything else. == [[Live Action TV]] == * Belle in opening credits for ''[[Secret Diary of a Call Girl]]''. * On ''[[Chuck]]'' [[Action Girl\|Sarah]] often does both simultaneously. * [[Played for Laughs]] with Tim's 'getting ready for the disco' montage in ''[[~~The Goodies (TV)\|~~The Goodies]]'' episode "Saturday Night Grease". * The opening credits of ''[[Lingerie Football League]]''. * ''[[Sherlock]]'': Irene Adler goes through one as she is waiting for Sherlock to arrive in "A Scandal in Belgravia". Juxtaposed with Sherlock's own, more unorthodox, preparations, which involve getting Watson to punch him in the face. == [[Manga]] and [[Anime]] == * Done in ''[[~~Kuragehime (Manga)\|~~Kuragehime]]''. == Mythology == Line 44 ⟶ 45: == [[Web Comics]] == * This ''Giant Days'' strip (a [[Spin-Off]] of ''[[Scary Go Round]]''): [[Written Sound Effect\|FIF! BLUST! ZIIIIIP!]] "[https://web.archive.org/web/20140501031446/http://scarygoround.com/gd/index.php?date=20101104 One hour, thirty one minutes!] A new record!" == [[Web Original]] == * During the "Linkara Lost" arc of ''[[~~Atop the Fourth Wall (Web Video)\|~~Atop the Fourth Wall]]'', [[Real Life Relative\|Linkara's real-life girlfriend]] Iron Liz replaces him for an episode. We see her suiting up in a near shot-for-shot remake of Linkara's own [[Lock and Load Montage]]... save for one shot of her applying lipstick. == [[Western Animation]] == * In ''[[Sym -Bionic Titan]]'', Ilana, Lance and Octus all go through this prior to the Homecoming Dance in "Under the Three Moons." * [[The Joker]] gets this in an episode of ''[[Batman: ~~the~~The Brave And The Bold ~~(Animation)~~\|Batman the Brave And The Bold]]''. Course he's fueled by [[Rule of Funny]]. ** [[Huntress]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ktUhed7K3SA&feature=related changing into her costume] (including applying dark lipstick) counts as a more practical example. * Used in ''[[Mulan]]'' when the soldiers are applying drag to infiltrate Shan Yu's guard in the royal palace (set to a brief reprise of "I'll Make A Man Out Of You", no less!).
