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. |

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.") |

Rebuild World: In-Universe, when Sheryl says that she only ordered coffee because she’s on a diet (to hide that she’s poor and it’s the cheapest thing on the menu), Katsuya says something similar to this, which gets him criticized by the girls around him for calling Sheryl fat. |

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. |

Blatantly stated in One Less Lonely Gurl when C'ren arrived at Bikini Bottom and someone says that she has "curves in all the right places". Given that this is a Troll Fic, that line is a Shout-Out to this. |
