comment |
A Stock Phrase for narrators describing an attractive female character, and for Fan Fic writers trying to make a female character inexplicably more attractive than she is in canon. It probably describes an hourglass figure — that is to say, large breasts, round hips, and a small waist connecting the two — but exactly what it means is kind of vague and highly subjective, since readers' ideas of what "all the right places" are, and how much they should curve, will vary. |

Rocketship Voyager. As befits a 1950's sci-fi tale, Captain Janeway's introduction has the reader assured that her "space-black uniform failed to conceal the feminine curvature underneath." |

The Sun Also Rises has a rather bizarre variation when it describes Brett Ashley as having "curves like the hull of a racing yacht". However striking that line may be as a description, a boat does not exactly have a shape comparable to a conventionally attractive woman. Note that the description is not intended to be a Stealth Insult or suggest the narrator has a fetish for unusual body shapes, as Brett is considered beautiful by everyone. |

comment |
In Go West (1940), Chico Marx asked Harpo what he had spent $60 on, and Harpo made an "hourglass" figure with his hands. Chico replied "Oh, you bought a snake." (The gag also appears in A Day at the Races (1937), in which Harpo's attempts to tell Chico about The Vamp who plans to seduce and frame Groucho are interpreted as, "A snake! A big, big snake!" After Harpo's gestures and whistles get more and more exaggerated, "That's-a no snake.") |

The plot of Julia Misbehaves follows Julia, who was ousted out of her marriage over a decade ago to a wealthy American, William, because of his classist mother. When she arrives back in America to be at her daughter's wedding, she and William reunite. In a rare male example, Julie says that William is not so gangly as he used to be and that he's grown to be a well-built and good-looking man. William hesitates to return the compliment, considering that he sneakily watched her vaudeville performance a few days earlier, in which her long gown ripped on stage, leaving her dancing in a leotard. |
