Vapor Wear: Difference between revisions

* Mostly good guy version: Anko Mitarashi of ''[[Naruto]]'' wears only a jacket over a combination of fish net stocking and chain mail. (And a skirt.)

** Ouch. Mail tends to hurt when worn on skin.

* Kotoko-01 in ''[[Divergence Eve]]'', in both seasons, she ''definately'' dosen't wear panties underneath her piloting suits.

* Lust in ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist]]''.

* Yura of the Hair from ''[[Inuyasha]]''. Of course, bras didn't ''exist'' back then, but they didn't dress like that either.

* Princess Kraehe from ''[[Princess Tutu]]''. There's also Mytho, who has this quirky little habit of not only forgetting to wear pants, but apparently also underwear.

** Nico Robin is probably most guilty of this among the Straw Hat Pirates. Though the true masters of this trope are the [[Hot Amazon|Kuja Pirates]]. One in particular, Rindo, has the same unzipped leather jacket mentioned in the ''Tokko'' example below.

* Miss Deep of ''[[Read or Die]]''.

* In ''[[The Mummy Trilogy|The Mummy 1999]]'', Imhotep's lover appears to be wearing a long gown when she secretly meets him - but then he touches her shoulder, smearing the body paint which is all she has on.

* In ''The Little Devil'', Nina doesn't wear panties under her dress. Not only that, she lifts it up, due to the summer heat as she says. The viewer doesn't see anything, though, as they only see her either from behind or from the waist up, but little devil Giuditta (and everyone else around him) does. In fact, Nina was {{spoiler|sent from Hell to seduce Giuditta and take him back home}}.

 

== [[Literature]] ==

* Invoked and used for [[Distracted by the Sexy|nefarious purposes]] in ''Turn Coat'' of ''[[The Dresden Files]]''. Harry has just finished talking to another private investigator who has been tailing him. The other PI is a decent fella, so he backs off the case when Harry tells him lives are in danger if he keeps it up. However, he doesn't tell Harry who hired him because he's got integrity. He reports this to his apprentice, barely-legal Molly Carpenter, who decides to go ask him...but not before taking off her bra and cooling her chest for maximum effect. Poor guy never stood a chance.

* Conversed in the book ''Dork Diaries'' by Nikki in her diary. She points out about the habit of some celebutante/actresses of 'continuously forgetting to wear their underwears'.

 

== [[Live-Action TV]] ==

* Susan Sullivan in the pilot movie of [[The Incredible Hulk]] was wearing a see-through black shirt with twin breast pockets. While it would be difficult to say for certain while watching, the DVD commentary specifically states she was braless and the pockets were the only reason they got away with it.

* Fiona Glenanne in [[Burn Notice]] is rarely seen with a bra and at times it's blatantly noticeable.

 

== [[Music]] ==

* Lynn Mabry and Edna Holt of Brides Of Funkenstein, appearing in the [[Stop Making Sense]] concert video.

* The [http://www.discogs.com/viewimages?release=329599 front cover] of Stacey Q's ''Boomerang'' album; only her hands are covering her unmentionable parts.

 

== [[Tabletop Games]] ==

*** Some tabletop games [[Lampshade Hanging|acknowledge and actually provide statistics]] for the improbable amounts of protection offered by [[Stripperiffic]] "armor" (such as ''[[GURPS]]'', which calls it "Bulletproof Nudity").

* The swedish RPG ''Playelf'' has "clothing penalties" - anything above the base necessities will obstruct your movements and give penalties to everything. Armor is useless because any advantage gained is negated by all the penalties. There are some options, but for the most part, you're encouraged to dress like a Boris Valejo painting.

 

== [[Theatre]] ==

* The infamous black lace bodystocking worn by the late, great Anita Morris as "Carla" in the 1982 Broadway musical ''[[Nine (theatre)|Nine]]''.

 

== [[Video Games]] ==

* The Oracle in the first ''[[God of War (series)|God of War]]'' has a see-through top and no bra (unlike most examples of Vapor Wear, her breasts are fully visible).

** For a (probably unintentional) male example from the same series, in ''III'', Hercules's [[Loin Cloth]] sometimes clips through his legs, revealing that [[The Dev Team Thinks of Everything|yes, they did render buttocks on his character model]].

* In ''Gladiator'', in the Japanese release (and the initial USA release), it becomes evident that Irene is not wearing a bra under her armor after her [[Clothing Damage|breastplate is broken]].

* Janna's clothing in ''[[League of Legends]]'' is so skimpy that HOT PANTS AND A BUSTIER are considered decent.
