Victoria's Secret Compartment: Difference between revisions

[[File:Ginrei's secret compartment animated.gif|link=Giant Robo|frame|Not exactly the safest place to store your ''bazooka''.]]

 

 

A woman hides a plot-sensitive item close to her heart. Or more accurately, between her (usually large) breasts. Related to the [[Double Standard]], since a man can't reach down there without [[Hilarity Ensues|hilarity ensuing]] (consequently, women often stuff a small object down there [[Keep-Away|to keep a man from getting at it]]). May lead to being [[Nipple-and-Dimed]]. Occasionally serves as [[Hammerspace]]. Lends a whole new meaning to the term 'breast pocket'. Does ''not'', as a general thing, refer to the, uh, [[Country Matters|other compartment]].

* Boota of ''[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]'' has ridden in Yoko's cleavage on multiple occasions, including the first day they met. Kamina and Simon's jealousy is obvious. What's even funnier is that {{spoiler|after the time skip, when Yoko makes her dramatic entrance, guess where Boota goes.}}

* Following Boota's example is Touchoumaru, the pet mouse of Shigure from ''[[Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple|Kenichi the Mightiest Disciple]]''. [http://www.mangareader.net/337-23783-1/historys-strongest-disciple-kenichi/chapter-277.html He's one lucky little rodent].

* In ''[[Detective Conan]]'', Kudou Yukiko carries an unconscious Conan ''in her cleavage'' while riding a motorcycle across Japan. Conan is actually Shinichi, Yukiko's drug-induced de-aged teenage son. And with her being a [[Hot Mom]]...

* Sheryl in ''[[Macross Frontier]]'' drops Alto's talisman down her shirt in the 5th episode as "insurance" that he'll keep his word. And in the False Songstress Movie she keeps a taiyaki-shaped cellphone in there, which wiggles like a carp when it rings!

* ''[[G.I. Joe]]'''s The Baroness in [http://roadkill-catthouse.deviantart.com/art/No-need-to-frisk-70459861 this piece of fan art].

* In Third [[Touhou]] M-1 Grand Prix 【Wind Girl】[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LwSxQWEVmQg], Aya fished the Gensokyo News paper out of ''Momiji'''s clothes.

 

== Films -- Animation ==

* In the ''[[All in The Family]]'' episode "Mike's New Job", Edith does this with a slip of paper (on which is written the phone message that will lead to Mike and Gloria's move to California) to keep it away from Archie. Archie doesn't hesitate to go in after it.

* Alex hunter from ''[[White Collar]]'' hides a knife here. {{spoiler|She and Neal use this to escape the Big Bad's [[Death Trap]] in one of the season finales.}}

* In ''[[The Two Ronnies]]'' serial "Hampton Wick", there is a sequence in which the female protagonist works as a pickpocket. She is shown stealing watches, wallets and other valuables, hiding them in her blouse, and later extracting them to give them to the crooks who employ her. After a few iterations, she is seen with an uncomfortable expression on her face; then she drops a stuffed alligator onto the heap of loot.

** The tendency of women to try and use this trope for shoplifting was referenced in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKCZRg4EveU this] skit (about the 3:50 mark).

* In ''[[Resident Evil]]'', Jill Valentine can carry more items than her allies, Chris (RE1) and Carlos (RE3), despite the fact that both of the guys are demonstrably stronger than she is. This is especially noticeable in ''3'', where Jill's wearing a tube top and miniskirt, while Carlos is wearing combat gear loaded with pockets.

* In one of the cutscenes in ''[[Bayonetta]]'', she hides a round in VSC.

* Although he is a man, this appears to be Link's [[Hammerspace]] in ''[[Ocarina of Time]]''.

* Judging from some of the animations in ''[[King's Quest VII]]'', this is used as Valanice's and Rosella's [[Distaff Counterpart]] to Graham's and Alex's [[Trouser Space]].

* In the first ''[[Discworld]]'' game, Rincewind gets a ride in the cleavage of The Lady.

* In ''[[Marvel vs. Capcom Clash of the Superheroes]]'' and ''[[Marvel vs. Capcom 2]]'', one could be forgiven for thinking [[Mega Man (video game)|Roll]] pulls her [[Arm Cannon|Roll Buster]] from beneath her dress, but it's apparently her shoe.

 

== Web Comics ==

* ''[[Ronin Galaxy]]'': In the beginning of the second chapter, Leona manages to keep her sword hidden in the upper folds of her kimono, even past the gaze from possible onlookers such as Cecil.

* Tootsie and Alejandra of ''[[Las Lindas]]'' demonstrate the trope [https://web.archive.org/web/20130124083145/http://laslindas.katbox.net/archive/comic-8-3/ here].

* Parodied with a rare female "down there" version in ''[[Last Res0rt]]'', where Jigsaw hides her Hammerspace inside her... wait for it... ''[[Funny Animal|marsupial pouch]]''. [[Late to the Punchline]] moments ensue when she reaches in to get anything.

{{quote|''Through intense training, Tiren has learned to hide an innumerable amount of weapons on her person, regardless of what she happens to be wearing.''}}

* {{spoiler|[[Shredded Moose]] did this with a word bubble's tail. It was allegedly so vile that even the most caustic critics were afraid of comment on it beyond pointing out that it's there, [[And That's Terrible]]}}

 

== Web Original ==

** While reviewing ''[[Interstella 5555]]'' with other crew [[Paw Dugan]], [[The Nostalgia Chick|Nella and Elisa]], [[Jew Wario]] is skeptical at the sight of the female lead tucking a card between her boobs. Lisa responds that it's just one of those special things about being a lady. To demonstrate, Nella pulls several tins of food out of her bra. Shocked, [[Jew Wario]] turns back to Elisa, who has produced [[Hammerspace|three books and a pair of sandals]] from her cleavage.

** Dominic jokes about all the things that have gotten lost in [[Tomb Raider|Lara Croft's]] [http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/thatguywiththeglasses/vgcon/11858-ep6lara cleavage.]
