History Main / CurvesInAllTheRightPlaces

* ''Murder on Vine''

* In ''Stalking the Unicorn'' by Creator/MikeResnick, takes this UpToEleven, describing a CatGirl as having "curves in places other girls don't have places."

* ''Film/BloodHarvest' has a RareMaleExample. Jill describes Scott as having "muscles in all the right places."

* In ''Go West'', [[Creator/TheMarxBrothers Chico Marx]] asked [[TheVoiceless Harpo]] what he had spent $60 on, and Harpo made an "hourglass" figure with his hands. Chico replied "Oh, [[CompletelyMissingThePoint you bought a snake]]." (The gag also appears in ''Film/ADayAtTheRaces'', in which Harpo's attempts to tell Chico about TheVamp 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 ''Film/JuliaMisbehaves'' follows Julia, who was ousted out of her marriage over a decade ago to a [[WhiteAngloSaxonProtestant wealthy American, William]], because of his [[ObnoxiousInLaws 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 [[WardrobeMalfunction long grown ripped on stage]], leaving her dancing [[ShesGotLegs in a leotard]].

* Meghan Trainor's "All About That Base"

* Mark Darcy's father is rather gleeful about him dating [[Literature/BridgetJones Bridget Jones]] (played by [[DyingForYourArt a curvy and bustier]] Creator/ReneeZellweger) who he describes as "a nice well-built girl" with a bottom that can balance a pint glass.

* "Honey Bun" from ''Theratre/SouthPacific'':

* Paired with {{Squick}} in the exploration log of [[SCPFoundation SCP]]-[[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-2264 2264]]:

A StockPhrase for narrators describing [[MsFanservice an attractive female character]], and for FanFic writers trying to make a female character [[PossessionSue 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.

Chico replied "Oh, [[CompletelyMissingThePoint you bought a snake]]."

** ''Fanfic/ChildOfTheStorm'' has Harry Dresden inwardly note this about Wanda Maximoff in the two-shot side story ''Chaos Reigns'', while simultaneously noting the hackneyed nature of the phrase.

* ''YuYuHakusho''

* Blatantly stated in FanFic/OneLessLonelyGurl when [[MarySue C'ren]] arrived at Bikini Bottom and someone says that she has "curves in all the right places". Given that this is a TrollFic, that line is a ShoutOut to this.

* Played with in ''OsmosisJones''.

* TheSunAlsoRises 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, [[FridgeLogic a boat does not exactly have a shape comparable to a conventionally attractive woman]]. Note that the description is not intended to be a StealthInsult or suggest the narrator has a fetish for unusual body shapes, as Brett is considered beautiful by everyone.
* One ''{{Shadowrun}}'' novel describes an attractive woman as having 'more curves than a box of snakes'.

* {{Mika}}'s "Big Girl (You Are Beautiful)":

* "Honey Bun" from ''SouthPacific'':

* ''SurvivalOfTheFittest'' characters Charlene Norris and Kallie Majors, from versions four and three respectively, are described this way.
