== [[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 (film)|Stardust]]'', where the witch Lamia is very happy with her youthified self, and strips off in front of a mirror to get a better look. Her sisters are there too, looking on in envious admiration.
Line 33:
== [[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.
Line 56:
== 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 67:
== 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 ''[[Beast Wars]]'' mostly fits this. Though she isn't taking anyone's appearance in particular, she has just upgraded from a simple protoform. After her introduction, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XV2JWs9o7hc she can be observed doing random kicks and poses in the background while Megatron talks].{{context|reason=How is this an example of the trope as written?}}
* Not a full body, but Rarity's new wings in [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic]].
