* Anything drawn by Terry "boobs-and-butt" Dodson. An issue of GenerationX featuring a watermelon-based duel between [[XMen Emma Frost]] and "slutty space Snowhite" probably takes the cake.

* Good luck figuring out how Catwoman got into [[http://ic.pics.livejournal.com/icon_uk/11800056/1342795/original.jpg this pose!]]

* Jade, on the cover of ''VideoGame/BeyondGoodAndEvil''

* Several of the promotional pics for ''TheSarahConnorChronicles'' have [[http://www.summer-glau.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10001/normal_Maxim2_sept08.jpg used]] [[http://www.summer-glau.net/gallery/albums/scc_hq/normal_promo_new01.jpg this]] to show off SummerGlau's fantastic rear end.

* At the beginning of ''SixteenCandles'', Sam tries to strike a pose like that in front of her mirror, but she's unsatisfied with the results.

* Paul Manship's (the guy who sculpted the Prometheus statue in Rockefeller Plaza) nude bronze ''[[http://flickr.com/photos/alixking/311563525/ Diana the Huntress]]'' not only twists around so her face, breasts and buttocks are all visible from the same side, she even does it ''while she's running full tilt so she can shoot an arrow at something (or someone) behind her''. And she's running ''away'' from her quarry? What's that about?!
** Perhaps she's hunting a BullfightBoss beast or one of those other creatures that have to be tricked into charging. Plus, you have to get some distance to properly use a bow, so perhaps she's just getting to the optimal range.

* ''Tasteful Comics'' has a superhero "[[http://tastefulcomics.com/post/18037472892/the-justice-avengers Boobs And Butt Always Visible Lass]]". Three guesses at her superpower?..

* A recent photo project involved pictures of men in masculine clothes, but ''posed'' like female pin-up models, complete with several in over-the-shoulder poses and some with coy, dippy smiles. As should surprise no one, they looked entirely silly.

* ''GirlGenius'':

Popular with glamour models and anime characters. Naturally, characters not portrayed by real life actresses can pull this off more effectively, since they can twist in ways that would [[RuleOfSexy snap a real woman's spine]] or at least be darn uncomfortable.

When a character or model poses with their back to the audience, but twisted round to look at the viewers so that their torso is almost pointing backwards. If the fanservice is more blatant, they'll probably be sticking their butt out and curving their spine vertically rather than merely twisting sideways. Probably used for a few reasons:

# Lets you see the character's face. Having them look at the audience is more engaging.

# Shows the character is supple and limber.

Popular with glamor models and anime characters. Naturally characters not portrayed by real life actors can pull this off more effectively, since they can twist in ways that would [[RuleOfSexy snap a real person's spine]] or at least be darn uncomfortable.

At least one glamor model has blamed their back problems on having to repeatedly pose in this way. Not that glamor models don't have [[GagBoobs other causes]] of back pain.

* ''Judith'' by Jan Sanders van Hemessen, circa 1540CE, may be UrExample. A nude in the "spine twisting exercise" pose and holding a sword overhead, [[http://www.flickr.com/photos/eloisemason/6944793473/ all right]]. That being Renaissance, however, she ''doesn't'' look gutted and with broken spine. In fact, she got enough of muscles that WillingSuspensionOfDisbelief is not needed to see she can lift that sword in one hand without falling over and even decapitate something significantly bigger and tougher than a chicken.

* As shown above, Psylocke does this in almost every panel she appears in. Seriously, look her up in Google Images and you'll find several shots in this position. The page picture in particular shows off the impossible extremes of this trope. What freaky BodyHorror is going on with her spine?

* Luke Skywalker, according to [[{{Comicbook/MarvelStarWars}} marvel's]] [[http://images.plurk.com/959ed025cc50e8c9971fd072fb0c540b.jpg comics]].

->"...The only 'strong' in many 'strong female comic book characters' are the oblique muscles required to point their ass and boobs in the same direction."

* Much of the DisneyPrincess merchandise has some of the girls doing this, especially [[SleepingBeauty Aurora]] and Disney/{{Cinderella}}.

'''Examples:'''

* Luke Skywalker, according to marvel's [[http://images.plurk.com/959ed025cc50e8c9971fd072fb0c540b.jpg comics]].

Compare CoyGirlishFlirtPose. Not to be confused with OverTheShoulderCarry.

# As the alternative name suggests, lets you see the character's butt and chest at the same time, so both Ass and Tit fans get what they want. If it's trying to be anatomically realistic, the "tit" part will usually be restricted to {{Sideboob}}.
