* The page quote comes from the 1956 musical ''Film/TheFirstTravelingSaleslady'', starring Creator/GingerRogers and Creator/CarolChanning. Paradoxically, Rogers spends most of the movie trying to hawk barbed wire in Texas (and eluding ranchers, including her love interest, deeply opposed to same) while disguising herself as what she originally was, a corset saleswoman!
* In ''Film/TheGreatRace'' [[Creator/NatalieWood Maggie DuBois]] spends a significant portion of the Carpania sequence [[Main/MsFanservice dressed only in a corset]]. It gets even better when she is covered head to toe in whipped cream (she got in the middle of [[Main/PieInTheFace the biggest pie fight in movie history]]), which [[Main/IgnoreTheFanservice no one else even notices]].

* ''Fanfic/AllAlone'': Sophia thinks that Taylor could really rock a corset. Taylor isn't having any of it. They eventually compromise; it gets bought, but Taylor hasn't agreed to wear it.
