History Main / ShowingOffTheNewBody

::: ... and, in a rare example with a male body (but no undoing of anything), the Doctor. Which [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCWcNPid-wY leads to]] the following memorable line.

* In ''EerieCuties'', this is Nina's first action after borrowing Layla's body.

* In ''The Hidden'', the body possessing space alien villain starts out only possessing the bodies of men. The first time it possesses the body of a female stripper, it spends some time exploring the differences.
* In ''TheHotChick'', when Rob Schneider and Rachel [=McAdams=]' characters switch bodies, one freaks out and panics, the other gets a job as a stripper. Guess which is which.

* A downplayed and male example in ''[[Film/{{Selfless}} Self/Less]]'': After being put in the body of a younger man, Damien's montage of learning to adjust to the new body is intercut with a scene of him slowly walking to a mirror and admiring his new, youthful appearance.

* In ''SecondApocalypse'', Aurang gets to do this once.

--->'''Anathos''': Such a waste... I ''really'' wanted you to be my new incarnation, you know ?

* When [[spoiler:Grace O'Connor]] [[NoTranshumanismAllowed downloaded herself]] into the new body of a combat cyborg in ''MacrossFrontier'', fondling her boobs (which were considerably bigger than her previous ones) was first thing she did.

* Variation in ''IntoTheWoods''. The witch had been transformed into an old crone body for a while, and after that curse is broken, she has a whole song in which she shows off her actual appearance, which is youthful and good looking.

[[folder: Comic Books ]]

* An issue of ''Comicbook/{{Spider-Girl}}'', complete with mirror.
-->'''Araña''': What do you think of my sexy new body, Miguel?
* Sistah Spooky from ''Comicbook/{{Empowered}}'' did this after getting the perfect body from a DealWithTheDevil.

** In the BigFinishDoctorWho audio "Cradle of the Snake", Tegan gets possessed by the Mara, which then decides to dress in skimpy black and flirt heavily with Nyssa.

* A non-villainous example occurs in ''{{Dollhouse}}'' when Margaret (a middle-aged woman) is uploaded into Echo's younger body. She briefly feels her own breasts and jokes to Adelle about how they're now "pointing at the sky".

* In the ''Series/DoctorWho'' episode "New Earth", Cassandra does it to both Rose:

** Later on, in "Let's Kill Hitler", Melody regenerates into the body of Creator/AlexKingston, and promptly checks out [[BuxomIsBetter her breasts]], her butt, and [[EightiesHair her hair]]. After (it's implied) going off into another room to check out her butt in a mirror, she proudly announces that she's "going to wear ''a lot'' [[PaintedOnPants of jodhpurs]]!"
** A non-sexual version occurs in "The Doctor's Wife" as a FunnyBackgroundEvent with Idris touching and squeezing her face, then trying out expressions in the mirror until the Doctor gets annoyed and stops her.
** The Third Doctor. His first reaction to his new face is misery, but he soon decides it's 'not all that bad' and turns on the charm. A bit later, he has a ShowerScene, dresses up in some stolen clothes and has a montage of him trying on hats (notably including his [[ItsAllJunk pointed rejection of a hat that resembled one the Second Doctor liked in one of his early stories]]), ending with donning a smart trilby and striking a pose for himself.
** Another mostly nonsexual version - the Fourth Doctor tries out facial expressions in the mirror on first seeing himself (first shock and disappointment, then a grimace, and then a bit of exaggerated smouldering after he decides his [[CleopatraNose nose is an improvement]]), and then, when asked to put on some clothes and get to work, has a CostumeTestMontage of truly dreadful costumes which he parades for the very unimpressed Brigadier. When he comes out in his usual outfit, the Brigadier concedes that it's close enough even though it involves a fifteen-foot scarf (he does pick up on the Brig's negative opinion and offers to try again if he likes, but the Brig won't let him).
** There's a bit of ShipTease when Romana shows off her new body to the Doctor [[SexyShirtSwitch wearing his clothes]], which visibly delights him (even though the innuendo of the costume switch is just being visually alluded to rather than taken seriously). She even allows him to see her new face by coyly allowing him to take off her face-covering hat. This all backfires somewhat when he makes it clear he's not impressed with her new look and considers her vain for bothering.
** When the Sixth Doctor first sees himself in a mirror, he clearly thinks he's just the most gorgeous man ever, and flirts with his own reflection. He then dresses up in what he seems to think is [[SharpDressedMan an extremely sexy and fashionable outfit]] and strikes sexy supermodel poses for Peri in it. Shame it's actually [[ImpossiblyTackyClothes about the most horrible outfit ever]].

* Occurred in ''Series/{{Charmed}}'', episode 3x09 'Coyote Piper', where Piper is possessed by an ancient evil spirit (one of several over the shows' run). After modelling in front of the mirror in what's almost a dominatrix outfit, the spirit knocks Piper's husband Leo unconsciousness, then goes to Piper's High School Reunion she was holding at her club, and proceeds to do a sexy table-dance for the all men (and a few of the women) present on top of the bar. Barefoot. For about 5 minutes. The same happens to Phoebe who is possessed by the spirit of a deceased convict, who can't help admiring her new bodies beauty. And once again to Phoebe when a hideous demon cast a spell to switch bodies with her, who had always envied the attractiveness of others, and vanquish other demon's who threaten her livelihood. Immediately after her soul replaces Phoebe's she makes out with her office's appointed shrink, is caught by Piper twirling in front of a mirror and switches into a more revealing and tighter outfit.

* When Torg and Zoe switch bodies in a ''Webcomic/SluggyFreelance'' [[http://sluggy.com/daily.php?date=030622 filler arc]], Torg shows off Zoe's body to the entire Internet via webcam. Zoe, upon getting her own body back and looking in her closet: "Care to explain why none of my clothes have been worn?"
** It should probably be pointed out that this filler arc was ''[[AuthorAppeal also]]'' done by Creator/PhilFoglio.

Barefoot. For about 5 minutes.

* Claudine Renko AKA [[spoiler: Ms. Sinister]] does this prematurely in the second arc of {{X-23}}'s solo series. After capturing X-23, intending to [[GrandTheftMe steal her body]] in hopes that her HealingFactor will [[spoiler: prevent Mr. Sinister (whose personality is dormant in her body though periodically surfaces to take control)]] from permanently asserting himself and taking control of her, Renko expresses satisfaction that she'll be receiving a very attractive new body in return. Fortunately for Laura, [[spoiler: ''Mr.'' Sinister transfers his consciousness to her body first, but she ''[[CrowningMomentOfAwesome kicks him out]]'' and Renko is badly wounded during the resulting fight]].

*** And, of course, [[MrFanservice the Doctor does it after each regeneration]] starting with the new series.
** Another nonsexual version - the Fourth Doctor tries out facial expressions in the mirror on first seeing himself, and then, when asked to put on some clothes and get to work, has a CostumeTestMontage of truly dreadful {{Sexy Whatever Outfit}}s which he parades for the very unimpressed Brigadier. When he comes out in his usual outfit, the Brigadier concedes that it's close enough even though it involves a fifteen-foot scarf - it's not impossible that the whole scene was ObfuscatingStupidity and in-universe CensorDecoy, so the Brig would find the scarf acceptable.

* Blackarachnia's debut in ''WesternAnimation/BeastWars'' mostly fits this. Though she isn't taking anyone's appearance in particular, she has just upgraded from a simple protoform. After her introduction, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XV2JWs9o7hc she can be observed doing random kicks and poses in the background while Megatron talks]].
* Not a full body, but Rarity's new wings in WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic

* ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'' has [[spoiler:the Other]] doing this to Agatha, starting around [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20060123 here]] and continuing intermittently through the end of Volume 6. (Consider that this is a [[spoiler: mother *ahem* appreciating her ''daughter's body'']] and [[BrainBleach wince]]. Judging from his expression, Tarvek agrees.)

** Another nonsexual version - the Fourth Doctor tries out facial expressions in the mirror on first seeing himself, and then, when asked to put on some clothes and get to work, has a CostumeTestMontage of truly dreadful {{Sexy Whatever Outfit}}s and wigs which he parades for the very unimpressed Brigadier.

* ''Anime/CodeGeass'': [[spoiler: Empress Marianne does this when she enters C's World, doing a little posing, spinning, and curtsying. Slightly different from the normal application of this trope, as she wasn't testing out a new body, but getting used ''to her old one'', since she's been using a young girl as a SoulJar for a long time, and only in C's World can her detached spirit manifest its true form. Did I mention she's very [[HotShounenMom hot]] and...did this to her son, Lelouch?]]

** Later on, in "Let's Kill Hitler", Melody regenerates into the body of AlexKingston, and promptly checks out [[BuxomIsBetter her breasts]], her butt, and [[EightiesHair her hair]]. After (it's implied) going off into another room to check out her butt in a mirror, she proudly announces that she's "going to wear ''a lot'' [[PaintedOnPants of jodhpurs]]!"

* A non-villainous example occurs in ''{{Dollhouse}}'' when Margaret (a middle-aged woman) is uploaded into Echo's younger body.
