Nina is a [[Hot Librarian|librarian]]. During the day, she wears long skirts, a loose blouse done all the way up to her neck, her hair in a bun and sensible shoes.
Get Nina home to her significant other, allow her to have [[In Vino Veritas|a glass of something alcoholic]] and well... the [[Dress Hits Floor|blouse is on the floor]], the skirt is in the hall and the [[Letting Her Hair Down|hair is all over the place]]. Some other stuff is [[NSFW]] even to describe...
There are all sorts of cliched phrases that describe a woman who's '''Naughty by Night'''. In the USA and Canada, she's "a lady on the streets and a freak in the sheets". (It used to be "Paris in the bedroom, Boston in the parlor",<ref>Boston is supposed to be uptight, prudish, and hypocritical, [[Did Not Do the Research|like the rest of America.]] "Boston Brahmins" were prim, proper, and probably born knowing the Blue Laws, attributed (accurately or not) to their Puritan ancestors. There's also the expression [[Banned in China|"banned in Boston"]], implying something was especially racy. A [[Dead Horse Trope]] now, by and large, thanks in part to a huge influx of Irish and Italian immigrants, two very Catholic ethnicities that absolutely horrified the genteel "real" Bostonians (all those kids - what ''must'' have they been up to?). On the flip side, [[Europeans Are Kinky|Paris is European and casual.]] As Marlene Dietrich once put it, "In America sex is an obsession. In Europe it is a fact of life."</ref> implying Boston was the classy one instead of Paris. Both cities have reputations for being on the up and up while simultaneously being [[Wretched Hive]]s.) In Mexico, it is said that the perfect wife is "a saint at church, a lady at the table and a whore in bed".
A [[Sub-Trope]] of [[Living a Double Life]].

==
* A [[Manga|Hentai Manga]] take on this: ''Were-Slut'' (unfortunate name [[Completely Different Title|created from whole cloth]] by Eros Comix, the US distributor) is about a shy college student named Kimiko who takes a magic beauty pill to make her attractive enough to win her childhood friend (read: [[Hollywood Homely|she takes off her glasses]]). It works, but, due to the magic pill being past its expiration date, it keeps kicking in whenever she gets aroused. After the first time, though, it also kills all her inhibitions.
** Ditto for the manga/anime ''Sprite: Between Two Worlds'', wherein Manami, a severely repressed and meek college student turns into Nami, an outrageously uninhibited flirt whenever she's put into any situation that is too much for her to handle. The catalyst is her cousin Toru, who convinced Manami to be more confident around him when they were young by convincing her she was really Nami.
* In the [[Ecchi]] manga ''[[My Balls]]'', the main character's primary love interest Minayo is a sweet, kindly young woman who works at a daycare center. When she gets drunk, however, she goes into what the protagonist describes as "full-blown nympho mode". Unfortunately, said protagonist can't have sex for a month or the demon sealed inside his balls (hence the name of the manga) will be released and cause [[The End of the World as We Know It]]. Minayo happens to be an alcoholic, and [[Hilarity Ensues]].
* ''[[Paranoia Agent]]'' has an episode that plays with this. Harumi Chono is a quiet, conservative, mild-mannered school teacher by day, but at night her [[Split Personality|other personality]] takes over—Maria, a popular prostitute. When Harumi gets engaged, she starts to desperately get rid of Maria before her wedding day, which causes Maria to fight back.
Line 21 ⟶ 25:
** And thank god she's (''probably'') too young to properly...''interpret'' any sounds she might have heard.
*** Then again, said girl is [[Wise Beyond Their Years]]...
* ''[[Paprika]]'': Straight-laced Chiba becomes a lot more flirty and extroverted when she turns into
* In a way Nyamo-sensei of ''[[Azumanga Daioh]]''. While she's generally straight-laced and down-to-earth in contrast to [[
* In the manga ''[[Crimson Spell]]'' the protagonist is under a strange curse that causes him to turn into a [[Horny Devil|Demon]] that can only be vanquished by being ''raped'' into submission. Conveniently he never has any memory of this the next day.
==
* While it never came up in the comics, writer [[Mark Waid]]'s character notes for the ''[[Fantastic Four]]'' speculate Susan Storm was like this as a young woman to cope with the stress of having to raise her little brother.
* Aurora was like this in ''[[Alpha Flight]]''{{'}}s early years, exaggerated by her [[Split Personality]]. One persona was Jeannie-Marie: strict, stuffy schoolmarm teaching at the same girls' school she was raised in. And then there was ''Aurora'': sultry, adventure-loving, free-spirited partier.
* In ''[[Quantum and Woody]]'', Amy Fishbein appears to be a prim and proper white-collar professional, but she starts dropping [[Anvilicious]] innuendos and [[Dress Hits Floor|undressing herself]] as soon as she's alone with Woody.
{{quote|"God, Woody, you didn't tell him about 'Cats', did you? It's not every girl who [[Noodle Incident|loses her virginity in a Broadway show...]] I'll bet I can get us some tickets. ''Meeoww.''"}}
==
* The movie ''[[Belle de Jour]]'' is about a seemingly average housewife who's a prostitute in secret. But here this trope is inverted: as she is a housewife, she can actually do this job only ''by day'' instead of by night. (This is where the name of the film comes from.)
* The [[Heroes Want Redheads|red-headed librarian]] from ''[[Tomcats]]'' looks like a plain, uptight young lady. She (and her grandma!) are also into S&M.
* This is a source of some confusion in the film ''[[Desperately Seeking Susan]]''.
* Somewhat subverted in the film ''[[Blind Date (film)|Blind Date]]'' where [[Bruce Willis]]' sister-in-law tells him not to let the date get drunk as she goes wild. This information is relayed to him via his brother who adds lots of leering to the information. Cue the man getting his date
* In the 1984 film ''[[Angel (1984 film)|Angel]]'', Donna Wilkes plays a fifteen-year-old honor student at a private prep school who has been abandoned by her parents; she works as a prostitute at night in order to survive and pay for school.
==
* The ''[[Torchwood]]'' novel ''SkyPoint'' takes this to extremes; a very prim and proper little old lady, who is actually an S&M prostitute.
* Almost every Cairheinan noblewoman in the ''[[Wheel of Time]]'' is heavily implied to fit this trope. Though during some festivals they will run around almost nude on the streets, especially during the Feast of Light (during which normal prohibitions against inter-class kissing (and other things) are lifted), leading to a large number of commoners having bragging contests about who made out with the most important noblewoman.
** ONLY during the Feast of Lights, after which any such incident is ignored by all parties. With Cairhien being partially based on Versailles France, this roughly corresponds to Mardi Gras.
* A relatively tame version occurs in ''[[Good Omens]]''. Sweet little old lady and part-time medium Madame Tracy also offers appointments for "strict discipline and intimate massage every evening except Thursdays", and there are hints that she goes a little further than that on
* In ''[[Saving Zoe]]'', Teresa is a pretty preppy girl who acts and sings. By night, she hangs out with drug dealers and porno producers. The same could be said about Zoe, who seems like a perfect bubbly girl but smokes drugs and has sex when her parents don't know. This tendency leads to Zoe's death.
==
* ''[[On the Buses]]'' long-suffering Olive would love to be Naughty By Night, but her miserable husband Arthur would rather sleep. Actually, he'd probably rather do his taxes...
* Effy from ''[[Skins]]'': innocent schoolgirl by day, [[Fille Fatale]] by night.
* Sheila from the US version of ''[[Shameless]]''. By day she's a sweet agoraphobic and germaphobic housewife. But at night she is very very into pegging filthy alcoholic Frank.
==
== Theatre ==
* The play ''[[Miss Julie]]'' fits this with regard to personality, but replace "librarian" with "aristocrat".
* Fantine in ''[[Les Misérables (theatre)|Les Misérables]]'' is fired from her factory job when she is discovered to have a child, and her fellow workers claim that she is a prostitute. However, she had only ever had one lover, who had abandoned her, and it is only after she is fired that she has to become a prostitute.
Line 55 ⟶ 65:
* Parodied in ''[[The Music Man]]'': The town gossips manage to convince the Professor that [[Hot Librarian|Marian the Librarian]] is Naughty by Night primarily because she reads "racy" books by "[[Geoffrey Chaucer|Chaucer]]...[[François Rabelais|Rabelais]]...[[Honoré de Balzac|Balzac]]" and was kind enough to befriend the town outcast. She's not, but he falls in love with her anyway.
==
* ''[[Leisure Suit Larry]] 7'' got this one, cranked up to 20, with [[Hot Librarian]] [[Punny Name|Victorian Principles]].
* Nekoko from ''[[Yume Miru Kusuri]]'' {{spoiler|though this is more of drug effect}}.
* ''[[You Don't Know Jack]]'' Movies parodied this one for one of the Question 18 segues:
{{quote|Question 18: Honor student by day... ''stripper by night!''}}
* In the remake of ''[[Final Fantasy VII]]'', Ms. Folia seems a respectable teacher and role-model for the children in the Sector 5 Slums, but later, Cloud discovers she also works as a showgirl at the Honeybee Inn in the [[Red Light District|Wall Marker]]. Fortunately, Wall Market is the game's equivalent of Vegas, and Cloud does abide by their version of a "what happens in Vegas ''stays'' in Vegas" policy.
==
* In ''[[Futurama]]'', a prim bureaucrat is utterly turned on after hours by Fry's horrifyingly slobby lifestyle.
