The result of combining [[Grand Theft Me]] with [[Evil Is Sexy]]. Any villain who possesses the body of the heroine (or any female, really) is contractually required to spend time posing in front of mirrors, wearing [[Stripperiffic|scanty clothing]], and sometimes even [[Man, I Feel Like a Woman|groping herself]]. This often occurs when the villain in question is herself female and has been without a normal
Naturally, this is an opportunity for rampant [[Fan Service]], to an even greater extent than the standard form of [[Evil Is Sexy]].
Compare [[Man, I Feel Like a Woman]]. This overlaps with [[Power Perversion Potential]]. Contrast [[Shapeshifting Seducer]].
{{examples}}
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* In the last ''[[Ranma
** The manga also featured a mirror spirit who, upon taking Ranma's female form, immediately barges out of the house in a tiny cocktail dress, ready to get it on with the next attractive guy she can find.{{context|reason=How is this an example of the trope as written?}}
** In a bizarre instance of self-awareness, when female Ranma (posing as "Ranko") is forced to go bra-shopping with Nodoka and Akane, she gives up and tries on a few bras, posing to herself in the mirror and nodding appreciatively. [[Weirdness Magnet|Naturally]], this is when the sales attendant at the store chooses to trip and send hot tea flying into Ranma's booth.
* {{spoiler|Dante}} in [[Fullmetal Alchemist (
** And {{spoiler|his son Edward}}. Or rather, she tried to {{spoiler|preemptively seduce him by making him fall in love with Rose, the girl whose body she was planning on stealing next.}}{{context|reason=How is this an example of the trope as written?}}
* When {{spoiler|Grace O'Connor}} [[No Transhumanism Allowed|downloaded herself]] into the new body of a combat cyborg in ''[[Macross Frontier]]'', fondling her boobs (which were considerably bigger than her previous ones) was first thing she did.
* ''[[Code Geass]]'': {{spoiler|Empress Marianne does this when she enters C's World, doing a little posing, spinning, and curtsying. Slightly different from the normal application of this trope, as she wasn't testing out a new body, but getting used ''to her old one'', since she's been using a young girl as a [[Soul Jar]] for a long time, and only in C's World can her detached spirit manifest its true form. Did I mention she's very [[Hot Shounen Mom|hot]] and...did this to her son, Lelouch?}}

* Sistah Spooky from ''[[
== [[Film]] -- Live Action ==
* ''[[Ghostbusters]]'': Dana's possession by Zuul.{{context|reason=How is this an example of the trope as written?}}
* In ''The Hidden'', the body possessing space alien villain starts out only possessing the bodies of men. The first time it possesses the body of a female stripper, it spends some time exploring the differences.
* In ''[[The Hot Chick]]'', when Rob Schneider and Rachel McAdams' characters switch bodies, one freaks out and panics, the other gets a job as a stripper. Guess which is which.{{context|reason=How is this an example of the trope as written?}}
* There's the not-at-all-gratuitous "alien learns to put on a bra" sequence in ''[[Species]]''.
* There's a non-bodyswapping example in ''[[Stardust (
== [[Literature]] ==
* In ''[[Second Apocalypse]]'', Aurang gets to do this once.
* Aran'gar, alias {{spoiler|Halima, alias Balthamel}}, from ''[[The Wheel of Time]]'', a formerly male Forsaken who was reincarnated into a female body. S/he puts hir cleavage to good use.{{context|reason=How is this an example of the trope as written?}}
* In "[[I Will Fear No Evil]]", Heinlein posits a brain transplant from a 95 year old man to a 23 year old, very pretty girl. At least at first, he (she?) spends time in front of the mirror admiring his new, female body.
== [[Live Action TV]] ==
* In the ''[[

** Later on, in "Let's Kill Hitler", Melody regenerates into the body of [[Alex Kingston]], and promptly checks out [[Buxom Is Better|her breasts]], her butt, and [[Eighties Hair|her hair]].
** A non-sexual version occurs in "The Doctor's Wife" as a [[Funny Background Event]] with Idris touching and squeezing her face, then trying out expressions in the mirror until the Doctor gets annoyed and stops her.
* Quite an entertaining scene in a ''[[
* In the ''[[Bottom]]'' episode "Hole", when faced with imminent death, Eddie has a spontaneous conversion to Buddhism so he can reincarnate:
{{quote|
'''Eddie''': Yep! That's about the size of it!
'''Richie''': It's a bloody good plan, isn't it! Yeah, hey, it's got a lot going for it, this Buddhism thing! I think I'll come back as Dannii Minogue. Yeah! Yeah, and I'll get myself a job as a topless go-go dancer in a bar full of mirrors! }}
* After body-swapping with ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'', one of the first things Faith does is take a long bath just to check out her "new home"; later, she acts flirtatious toward any male in sight. (Not that she didn't do similar things in her old body.)
Line 52:
* This tends to happen to Sam a lot in ''[[Supernatural]]''. Meg's reaction to being in his body is to dramatically flex her muscles; she then spends the entire episode enjoying her handsome new body, "fine packaging" and all. It then happens to Sam ''two more times'' in season five, once with a teenager who wanted Sam's life, and once with {{spoiler|Lucifer}}
* ''[[Quantum Leap]]'' has a few more male versions. The "Evil Leaper" does this at one point; also, Sam looks appreciatively in a mirror when he is handsome hitman Frankie.
* Occurred in ''[[
* A non-villainous example occurs in ''[[Dollhouse]]'' when Margaret (a middle-aged woman) is uploaded into Echo's younger body.
== Theatre ==
* Variation in ''[[Into the Woods]]''. The witch had been transformed into an old crone body for a while, and after that curse is broken, she has a whole song in which she shows off her actual appearance, which is youthful and good looking.{{context|reason=How is this an example of the trope as written?}}
== [[Web Comics]] ==
Line 66:
== Western Animation ==
* In one episode of ''[[Totally Spies!]]'', the [[Villain of the Week]]'s contraption was something that allowed people to change their physical attributes by switching their own with someone else's. A really hideous lady tried it out with Alex, and then the lady walked away, checking out her new reflection in a mirror.
* Blackarachnia's debut in ''[[
* Not a full body, but Rarity's new wings in [[My Little Pony:
