Those last two panels suggested could work.
Um... No skin is really seen in that suggestion (you could get technical in that some pixels show, but it's still tiny) when it should be clearly visible. Also, is this trope limited to legs?

It's obvious in the next-to-last panel that the person is being flashed. Also, the trope isn't limited to just showing leg.
That's only half of the trope. The skin needs to be shown clearly in a trope about showing skin.

I half-jokingly suggest we use an image of the Joker showing leg in Superman: The Animated Series S2 E16-18 "World's Finest".

If a tree falls in the forest and nobody remembers it, who else will you have ice cream with?Er.... Going to have to disagree with you there. This isn't a fanservice trope, the "showing" can be completely offscreen. Or it doesn't necessarily need to be "showing" since flirtation explicitly counts.
Found a Youtube Channel with political stances you want to share? Hop on over to this page and add them.That looks like another trope; she's not doing any distracting, she's trying to trick him into giving up information by coming on to him.
What about Sally Skellington showing off to Oogie Boogie in The Nightmare Before Christmas?
That's a good idea and a great example, but I would much prefer to avoid a literal example seeing as this gets misused as Shes Got Legs already.
A cropped version of the first panel?

Isn't 11.1 more in the Brain Bleach territory rather than a sexy distraction?
No. The guy is distracted by the girl's boobs. His eyes are like that in the last panel because he lost the game due to that trick.

I was considering something from the pre-credits scene of Goldfinger where Bond is distracted by a dancer so an assassin can sneak up on him, but it would probably require a reaction shot◊ to get her culpability across effectively.
You've got roaming bands of armed, aggressive, tyrannical plumbers coming to your door, saying "Use our service, or else!"^^ The character on the left just doesn't strike me as female which undermines the meaning of what I see in those panels. Is it only me? ^ I am afraid, the girl's participation in the ploy is not clear enough even with the second shot.
This trope has serious misuse (Shes Got Legs).
Also there seems to be a third trope at play which I would call "hitchhiker honey trap". Would it be alright, if I single those examples out and open a TLP thread along with the current image showing the Trope Maker? Or must such action go through TRS?
Clock is set. I like 11.1, 11.2 could work but I dunno how good it would look at wiki size.
No objections here.
Clock expired; closing.

So, the image for Show Some Leg has a woman showing some leg... but she's not doing it to distract anyone. In fact, it seems like she's doing it for the exact opposite reason, she's trying to get people to pay attention to her for a ride.
Last two panels?
... okay, wow, this is harder than I thought. There's a ton of examples of "just flashing for no reason" and Shes Got Legs mixed in here.
