Victoria's Secret Compartment: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

 

 

A woman hides a plot-sensitive item close to her heart. Or more accurately, between her (usually large) breasts. Related to the [[Double Standard]], since a man can't reach down there without [[Hilarity Ensues|hilarity ensuing]] (consequently, women often stuff a small object down there [[Keep-Away|to keep a man from getting at it]]). May lead to being [[Nipple-and-Dimed]]. Occasionally serves as [[Hammerspace]]. Lends a whole new meaning to the term 'breast pocket'. Does ''not'', as a general thing, refer to the, uh, [[Country Matters|other compartment]].

Occasionally even small pets get stored there (well, it's warmer than a shoulder). Such cleavage critters are usually [[Ridiculously Cute Critter|harmlessly cute]]; if they're [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|longer than they are wide,]] you can bet they're going to be used for blatant fanservice sooner or later. [[Baleful Polymorph|Under]] [[Incredible Shrinking Man|certain]] [[Shotacon|circumstances]], humans can get a [[Double Entendre|ride]] there too, for extra [[Fan Service]] and [[Ship Tease]].

 

 

This is one of several trope names that could be a "Before & After" puzzle on ''[[Wheel of Fortune]]''.

{{examples}}

* ''[[Chobits]]'': Plum (Shimbo's compact [[Artificial Human|persocom]], designed to resemble the laptop), tries to hide in the cleavage of Chi, because Hideki (with all the screaming around) is scaring her.

* Sha Chi from ''[[Penguin Musume]]'' hides a katana (of all things) between her breasts in one episode.

* In an episode of ''[[Code Geass]]'' ''R2'', Kallen kept the control to her [[Humongous Mecha]] in her cleavage.

* Takada Kiyomi keeps a page from the ''[[Death Note]]'' in her bra. Similarly, Light (in volume 9) discusses with Ryuk keeping Misa's notebook in case he needs to relinquish ownership of his again so he won't lose his memories by binding it to his chest with a corset.

* Tendou Rushuna from ''[[Grenadier]]'' not only stores extra bullets in her cleavage, but manages to eject them when needed and [[Unorthodox Reload|catch them with her gun]].

* Hannah from ''[[Black Butler]]'' has all ''sorts'' of weaponry in her cleavage.

** In an early arc, Shampoo hides an [[Carrying the Antidote|antidote]] shampoo [[media:shampooshidingplace.jpg|down her shirt]] and then dares Ranma to retrieve it. When bartering an antidote or power item with Ranma for a date, she tends to keep them there too, to prevent him from stealing and bailing.

** She once hid a kitten in there, but that was to scare Ranma into accepting the date (Ranma's an ailurophobe).

* Many suspect that Ururu from ''[[Bleach]]'' has a hidden compartment... ''[[media:uruushidingplace.gif|down there]].'' It's bigger than she is! Ah, the wonder that is [[Hammerspace]].

* In one episode of ''[[After War Gundam X]]'', Ennil asks the guards preparing to kill her and Dr. Farzenberg for one last intimate moment (pretending that they're lovers). They agree, and she opens her jacket... revealing a set of flash-bang grenades, which she and Farzenberg use to escape.

* [[Foreign Fanservice|Elirin]] from ''[[Variable Geo]]'' keeps a lighter in the cleavage of her [[Playboy Bunny|bunny suit]], and uses it for some of her [[Ki Attacks]].

** A few ladies in the manga hide things (microfilm, diamonds) "down there". Busty Fujiko's among the most frequent of practitioners.

** One intro sequence for the TV series shows Fujiko dropping a diamond ring in her bikini top.

** One episode of the anime has Fujiko in disguise, only for Zenigata to see right through it. After revealing her, the first place he looks for a hidden microphone is in her cleavage. [[Genre Savvy|And he's right.]]

** Asakura holding Sayo in her cleavage.

** Earlier on in chapter 35, she stores [[Weasel Mascot|Chamo]] in there. [[Dirty Old Man|Bet he enjoyed it.]]

** In chapter 276, Mana pulls out an [[BFG|anti-tank rifle]]. It's [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]].

** This rule isn't just limited to big-breasted girls in ''Negima'', as Nodoka, who is flat-chested, is seen hiding one of the smaller versions of her Pactio item in her cleavage in chapter 280.

** In a chapter, Rito gets shrunk to roughly 4 inches tall. Lala keeps him all day in her [[Marshmallow Hell]].

** Her younger sister Momo [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/to_love_ru/v17/c149/8.html has been shown] tucking her summoning device into her cleavage.

* Boota of ''[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]'' has ridden in Yoko's cleavage on multiple occasions, including the first day they met. Kamina and Simon's jealousy is obvious. What's even funnier is that {{spoiler|after the time skip, when Yoko makes her dramatic entrance, guess where Boota goes.}}

* Following Boota's example is Touchoumaru, the pet mouse of Shigure from ''[[Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple|Kenichi the Mightiest Disciple]]''. [http://www.mangareader.net/337-23783-1/historys-strongest-disciple-kenichi/chapter-277.html He's one lucky little rodent].

* In ''[[Detective Conan]]'', Kudou Yukiko carries an unconscious Conan ''in her cleavage'' while riding a motorcycle across Japan. Conan is actually Shinichi, Yukiko's drug-induced de-aged teenage son. And with her being a [[Hot Mom]]...

* Sheryl in ''[[Macross Frontier]]'' drops Alto's talisman down her shirt in the 5th episode as "insurance" that he'll keep his word. And in the False Songstress Movie she keeps a taiyaki-shaped cellphone in there, which wiggles like a carp when it rings!

** Kalifa apparently hides her key between her breasts.

** Nami hides things in there rather often, including the staff she uses to fight (both before and after getting the Clima Takt). She also stored a Den Den Mushi in her shirt, which was more than pleased.

* In the manga for the video game ''[[Tales of Symphonia]]'' there's an omake that says that Sheena has her exsphere equipped just under her right breast.

* In an omake chapter of ''[[Fairy Tail]]'', [[Action Girl|Erza]] produces a lead pipe... Well, there's a reason it's on this page.

* Merle from ''[[The Vision of Escaflowne|Vision of Escaflowne]]'' apparently has much larger breasts than viewers are led to believe, because in episode 8, she stores two boxes of Pocky, lipstick, a pager, a watch and a discman in her cleavage.

* Izumi of ''[[Hayate the Combat Butler]]'' apparently keeps her cell phone here. Revealed when a guy (kitten) steals it, by diving into her shirt.

* Fuu of ''[[Samurai Champloo]]'' has a pet flying squirrel named Momo, which seems to spend most of its time inside her kimono. Spoofed in an episode where two teenagers appear to be leering at her cleavage. At the end Fuu is furious to discover they were actually interested in Momo. There was also the first episode, where she stuffs some bombs down the front of her shirt, which unlike Momo [[Gainaxing|are quite easily visible.]]

* When Chypre and Coffret first ran into Tsubomi in ''[[Heartcatch Pretty Cure]]'', they hid in her shirt to escape from Sasorina. It works perfectly... until she creates a [[Monster of the Week|Desertrian]].

* In ''[[Futaba-Kun Change!|Futaba Kun Change]]'', the store clerk they meet while shopping for undies is so addicted to smoking that she has a tendency to try to sell underwear with multiple hidden compartment for cigarettes, just like the ones she wears to hide her smokes.

* Princesses Gallet and Christina does this accidentally in ''[[Shina Dark]]'' when they are forced to leave the treasury/labyrinth of doom without any treasure... [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/shina_dark/v01/c002/34.html except] what accidentally got stuck in their cleavage, much to Noel's [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/shina_dark/v01/c002/35.html jealousy].

** In one of the later chapters, [http://www.mangareader.net/ah-my-goddess/266/7 Belldandy]. When Keiichi stopped to think about holding an object that'd been nestled '''there'''....

** A short while later, Belldandy uses it to [http://www.mangareader.net/ah-my-goddess/271/6 hide an important item]. ''[http://www.mangareader.net/ah-my-goddess/272/10 It didn't work]''.

* In one chapter of ''[[Sayonara, Zetsubou-sensei|Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei]]'', Chiri comes to clean Nozomu's house, and wants to straighten things so there is less "dead space". Nozomu comments that she has her own dead space, wearing a bra that's too large for her. She responds that she uses the space effectively and [[Ax Crazy|pins him to the wall with knives]]. (During this scene, Nozomu specifically references Fujiko of ''[[Lupin III]]''.)

* In chapter 26 of ''[[Highschool of the Dead|High School of the Dead]]'', Zeke ends up in Shizuka's secret compartment, [http://www.mangareader.net/170-55385-25/high-school-of-the-dead/chapter-26.html and stays there for the next five pages.]

* In the anime version of ''[[Kare Kano]]'', Yukino Miyazawa puts a photograph in her bra.

* Lum of ''[[Urusei Yatsura]]'' would occasionally pull some Oni-tech gizmo from her tiger-stripped bikini top. It isn't like her [[Stripperiffic|usual outfit]] has many pockets.

* In the Volume 3 [[Omake]] of ''[[Girl Friends]]'', after [[Genki Girl|Akko]] [[Incredible Shrinking Man|becomes doll-sized]] for [[Hand Wave|some unknown reason]], Mari decides to let her come to school with her by placing her under her bra. Unfortunately, the train she takes is overcrowded due to the rush hour, making that place too painful for Akko. [[Hilarity Ensues|So Akko decides to climb a lot more south and...]]

'''Akko:''' But I didn't have any other place to go! }}

 

== Comic Books ==

* In ''[[The Spirit]]'', [[The Vamp|Satin]], a thief, hides a stolen medallion down her bosom. Unfortunately for her, the title character chooses to turn her upside-down and shake it out, rather than reach in.

* ''Jack of [[Fables]]'' #18: [[Hot Librarian|Hillary Page]] reveals she has the missing piece from the map to Americana. She stuffs it down her shirt for safe keeping.

* At the end of ''[[Secret Six]]'' #7, it's revealed that Scandal has {{spoiler|Neron's get out of hell card}} stuffed down her top.

* Ant Man hides in [[Black Widow (comics)|Black Widow]]'s cleavage in an issue of ''[[Thunderbolts]]''.

* In Galen DeMarco's first appearance in ''[[The Simping Detective]]'', she draws a concealed gun on Jack, despite wearing nothing more than a thong. Jack's narration even muses, "No, I don't know where she kept the gun either."

* ''[[Dreamkeepers]]'': At least one of the Indigo's has used this.

* In issue #181 of ''[[Knights of the Dinner Table]]'', Sara gets hold of the infamous cursed die Fitz and keeps it away from the rest of the knights by dropping it down her cleavage and zipping up her catsuit.

* In ''The Adventures of a Lesbian College School Girl'', Jennifer hides the key to Petra's diary in her bra. Petra retrieves it with her teeth. Given the title, you can probably guess what this leads to.

 

== Fan Works ==

* ''[[G.I. Joe]]'''s The Baroness in [http://roadkill-catthouse.deviantart.com/art/No-need-to-frisk-70459861 this piece of fan art].

 

== Films -- Animation ==

* ''[[Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind]]''. Nausicaä's pet [[Call a Smeerp a Rabbit|foxsquirrel]] Teto hides in Nausicaa's shirt at one point.

* In ''[[Interstella 5555]]'', the [[Big Bad]] drops a card with some important information. The only female member of the cast notices it when no-one else does. Down her dress it goes.

* In Disney's ''[[The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Disney film)|The Hunchback of Notre Dame]]'', Esmerelda pulls a hankie out of her clevage when she prepares to escape Frollo's guards.

* ''[[The Road to El Dorado]]''. "How did you get those?" "Where was she keeping them?"

* Maggie seems to have learned this at an early age, as witnessed in ''[[The Simpsons Movie]]'' when she grabs Bart's "Babyblaster" game and shoves it down her baby jumper during church.

* The beginning of ''[[Beowulf (film)|Beowulf]]'' shows a girl sneaking a gold coin down her corset.

 

== Films -- Live-Action ==

* In the awful ''[[Thunderbirds]]'' movie, the Hood's female assistant stuffs some of the stolen jewellery down her cleavage when no-one is looking.

* ''[[Pirates of the Caribbean]]''

** Even Barbossa could not figure out whence Miss Swann pulled that hefty blunderbuss in ''At World's End''.

* In ''[[The Saint]]'', a female scientist hides the notes to her invention on scraps of paper tucked into her bra. So the title character seduces her in order to get them.

** In ''[[Batman Forever]]'', Bruce Wayne asks Sugar (one of Two-Face's babes) how to turn Edward Nygma's machine off. He takes the glowing green battery from her and goes in, and then Sugar produces a second, identical battery from down her cleavage and switches it on again.

* In the mostly forgettable [[Jeff Goldblum]]/Michelle Pfeiffer vehicle ''[[Into the Night]]'' the heroine doesn't produce the diamonds she is smuggling until after a [[Trouser Space|very suggestive shower scene]] about halfway through the movie. {{spoiler|hint: they weren't in her cleavage.}}

* Jennifer Connelly again in ''[[The Rocketeer (film)|The Rocketeer]]''. She hides the stolen reverse-engineered plans of The Rocketpack she finds in a secret Nazi bunker.

* In the film adaptation of the comic book ''[[Barb Wire]]'', Barb (played by Pamela Anderson) hides a pair of contact lenses in a little tube down her cleavage. Then it turns out {{spoiler|they were fakes and she was wearing the real ones. Still, the compartment stands.}}

** In ''[[The Man with the Golden Gun]]'', Bond Girl Mary Goodnight and the villain Scaramanga use their Compartments.

** ''[[A View to a Kill]]'': Pola Ivanova smuggles away an incriminating tape down the front of her robe.

* ''Mad Money'', where the trio stuffs every single scrap of clothing with money.

* There was interesting subversion in one of the early Jet Li's film. In it, Jet Li's character caught a female reporter recording something sensitive. He goes up and asked her for the tape. The reporter promptly dropped the tape down her blouse, thinking he won't search her there. He didn't, he just grabbed her legs, turned her upside down and shook until the tape dropped.

* ''[[Johnny Dangerously]]'': Lil uses this a couple of times.

* ''[[True Lies]]'', twice. Juno Skinner keeps her business card in her bra. Likewise, Helen hides the transmitter bug between her breasts, however she quickly loses it when her [[Dress Hits Floor|Dress Hits the Floor.]]

* ''[[The Inkworld Trilogy|Inkheart]]'', twice. Teresa keeps a portrait of her family hidden in her blouse, while Mortola keeps the prison key tucked between the "mounds" barely constrained by her corset.

* ''[[What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?|What Ever Happened to Baby Jane]]''. Jane threatens Blanche with the note that she wrote for help that she kept tucked away in her blouse.

* In the 1927 Academy Award-winning film ''[[Wings (film)|Wings]]'', [[Girl Next Door|Mary]] procures the order to cancel leave down the front of [[Stripperiffic|her dancer's dress]]. Given the time period, this trope is now [[Older Than Television]].

* ''Love Wrecked'': Jenny smuggles a storebought fish down her top so she can dive underwater, take out the fish and then claim she caught it.

* ''[[Bratz (film)|Bratz]]'': The over-the-top Hispanic stereotype takes the chocolate and puts it in her bra.

* In ''[[Zack and Miri Make a Porno]]'', Stacy carries her chihuahua in between her breasts. Of course, considering how [[Sarcasm Mode|natural]] they look, it's probably not very comfortable.

* ''[[Time After Time]]'', Jack offers a prostitute a shiny coin. She quickly deposits it down her corset.

* Inverted in ''[[Sherlock Holmes (film)|Sherlock Holmes]]'' where {{spoiler|Holmes drops the handcuff key down between Irene Adler's breasts for ''her'' to fish around for}}. Plus the earlier scene when Irene reaches down the the front of her dress for an envelope containing information on the case. The fact that Holmes grabs her arm and prepares to defend his life indicates she's kept more lethal items there in the past.

* ''The Bounty Hunter'' gives us this line:

'''Jennifer Aniston:''' Why? Do I look like I have a weapon between my breasts? }}

* ''[[Clue (film)|Clue]]'': Miss White produces a handkerchief from her cleavage. That's probably all that could fit there considering her dress. We imagine that Yvette and Miss Scarlet could have easily hidden all of the evidence away given how their attire complimented their ''ahem'' tracts of land.

* In the 2002 film ''Trapped'', [[Charlize Theron]]'s character hides a scalpel between her buttocks. She then proceeds give a [[Groin Attack]] to the main villain with said scalpel.

* ''[[Abbott and Costello]] Meet the Mummy'' The Femme Fatale pulls a gun from her chest. However, since she was dressed for the desert it takes opening a few buttons to get it out and putting them back when putting the gun away.

* The 1959 [[B-Movie]] ''[[Missile to The Moon]]'' has the villainous Alpha pulling a dagger from her ample cleavage [[The Starscream|so she can murder the Lido]].

* Milady de Winter in ''[[The Three Musketeers (2011 film)|The Three Musketeers 2011]]''. In the opening scene, she keeps a stolen key in her cleavage, where she later places Richelieu's ''carte blanche''.

* In the ''[[Land of Oz]]'' books by L. Frank Baum, the sorceress Glinda is forever pulling her wand or some other useful magic doodad out of her "bosom". She probably wins the trope because on one occasion she pulled out a magical handkerchief which turned into a camping setup for a dozen people!

* Used by Rosamund in the ''[[Knight and Rogue Series]]'' to store the key to a flimsy lock, much to Fisk's exasperation and Michael's delight.

 

== Live-Action TV ==

* ''[[Everybody Loves Raymond]]'': Whilst trying to keep the car keys from Frank, Marie drops them down her blouse. Frank: "I'll walk!!"

* ''[[Will and Grace]]''

** Subverted: when Grace hides something from Karen here and she goes and seeks it. Grace enjoys this.

** Karen hides something from Rosario in her cleavage, and Rosario promptly goes after it. Karen enjoys this, and calls out suggestions as to where Rosario's hands should go.

** Lorraine Finster also pulls this off later, whilst trying to smuggle some of Karen's jewellery out of her house, though not just in her cleavage...

** In another episode, in an attempt to score some action with Jack, Lana takes some money off of him and puts it into her cleavage, telling him to "make a withdrawal." Jack obviously isn't amused, but Chrissy finds it hilarious, saying, "It's a treasure chest!"

* A hilarious misunderstanding in ''[[Coupling]]'' (best not to go into exactly what said misunderstanding was, for fear of text walls) led to a discussion about why men don't smuggle. One given reason was a lack of "concealment crevices"...

* ''[[Firefly]]''

** In "Shindig," Mal lifts a big wad of money off a guy in a bar. He gives it to Inara for safekeeping... and she immediately sticks it in her top.

* ''[[Smallville]]'', "Odyssey". Lois concealed a flash drive with incriminating evidence on Lex in this area.

* ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'', "Who Are You?" Faith [[Freaky Friday Flip|(while in Buffy's body)]] stuffs money in her bra. Willow tells Buffy she would keep 'stinky yak cheeses' in her bra for magical reasons.

* ''[[Dark Skies]]''. The Soviet agent played by Jeri Ryan keeps a silenced pistol in her cleavage as seen in [http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=fhzeue5zJfI this scene]. But then as ''[[Voyager]]'' fans are [[Latex Space Suit|well aware]], she's got plenty of room.

* ''[[Dollhouse]]'', "Grey Hour". Bank robber-imprinted Echo loses her memory of what she's doing, so the Dollhouse uploads the same imprint into Sierra in an attempt to walk Echo through the heist. Sierra tells Echo that she has a bottle of resin on her person. When Echo can't find it, Sierra remarks "Bra's a good place".

* ''[[VIP]]'' has valerie Irons (Pamela Anderson) hiding everything the propmaster could find, but she's outshone by Kay Simmons (Leah Lail), who had a laptop (or perhaps ''top''top) ''computer'' hidden there.

* Larry's agent Jeff in ''[[Curb Your Enthusiasm]]'' is accused of having a small penis by an ex-mistress, who works as a maid. Jeff explains that in fact it's the opposite, she has a very large vagina. Larry suspects her of stealing a baseball, and when he loses his cellphone tries calling it. ''Hilarity ensues''.

* "[[Chuck|Chuck Versus the Three Words]]": Sarah keeps a knife in her bra. Notable in that the it isn't clumsily concealed in between her cleavage but is instead housed in a special sheath near the straps.

* ''[[Xena: Warrior Princess]]'': Xena keeps a knife down her cleavage. Well, she keeps weapons everywhere she can. Gabrielle's efforts to copy her are hampered by her "less impressive" assets.

* From ''[[Bones]]'', while pretending to be a carefree married couple with Booth and trying to gain some information off some guys, Brennan walks up to them and casually takes out a wad of cash from her low-cut dress.

* Done by Victoria Justice's character on ''[[Victorious]]''. How suitable.

* In an episode of ''[[Happy Days]]'', a female gang have captured Richie, Ralph and Potsie for some reason, and the leader puts the key down her blouse and taunts Richie, "Come and get it, if you've got the guts!" Later, Richie has the key, and he puts it down his shirt and [[Ironic Echo|says the same thing]], so the gang leader rips his shirt off.

* In the ''[[All in The Family]]'' episode "Mike's New Job", Edith does this with a slip of paper (on which is written the phone message that will lead to Mike and Gloria's move to California) to keep it away from Archie. Archie doesn't hesitate to go in after it.

* Alex hunter from ''[[White Collar]]'' hides a knife here. {{spoiler|She and Neal use this to escape the Big Bad's [[Death Trap]] in one of the season finales.}}

* In ''[[The Two Ronnies]]'' serial "Hampton Wick", there is a sequence in which the female protagonist works as a pickpocket. She is shown stealing watches, wallets and other valuables, hiding them in her blouse, and later extracting them to give them to the crooks who employ her. After a few iterations, she is seen with an uncomfortable expression on her face; then she drops a stuffed alligator onto the heap of loot.

** The tendency of women to try and use this trope for shoplifting was referenced in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKCZRg4EveU this] skit (about the 3:50 mark).

* ''[[Sherlock]]'', "A Scandal in Belgravia": Mrs Hudson {{spoiler|hides a camera phone down her blouse}}.

* ''[[Stargate SG-1]]'': Vala Mal Doran will do that to hide something she stole. Notably in episode 2 of season 9, with a gold medal from the Ancient Cavern of Glastonbury.

== Print Media ==

* [http://www.flickr.com/photos/47888952@N02/5193835454/ This cover] for a 1962 issue of Detective Magazine.

 

 

== Theater ==

* This trope gets mentioned in the 1948 Alan Jay Lerner/Kurt Weill musical ''Love Life'' in the song "Economics":

But awful bad for love!'' }}

* This is [[Older Than Radio]]. In ''Die Fledermaus'', Eisenstein has a ladies' watch that he charms pretty girls with. He is disguised as a Marquis at a dinner party, and his wife (unbeknownst to him) is disguised as a Hungarian countess. He tries to seduce her, and three guesses where she stows the watch.

* Playfully subverted in ''[[Annie Get Your Gun]]''. After Annie's younger sisters lock up her guns before her big showdown against Frank, each of them tries to tuck the keys down the front of their dresses for safekeeping. And each time, the keys [[Pettanko|fall right to the floor]]. Annie's little brother decides to keep the keys in his pocket instead.

 

== Video Games ==

** That's nothing compared to Magoichi, who is apparently capable of summoning pistols, hand grenades, a shotgun, a machine gun and a bazooka from her ''[[Of Corsets Sexy|corset]]''. Either that, or some sort of [[Hammerspace|secret dimension]]. Though She actually keeps her pistols in a strap on her leg. All ''infinity'' of them.

* In ''[[MadWorld]]'', the three geisha you save in the Asian Town level {{spoiler|appear during the final boss battle, pulling health-restoring items from their cleavage and tossing them off to you if you're running low. Oddly, the [[Announcer Chatter|announcers]] make no comment on this.}}

* In ''[[Resident Evil]]'', Jill Valentine can carry more items than her allies, Chris (RE1) and Carlos (RE3), despite the fact that both of the guys are demonstrably stronger than she is. This is especially noticeable in ''3'', where Jill's wearing a tube top and miniskirt, while Carlos is wearing combat gear loaded with pockets.

* In one of the cutscenes in ''[[Bayonetta]]'', she hides a round in VSC.

* Although he is a man, this appears to be Link's [[Hammerspace]] in ''[[Ocarina of Time]]''.

* In the first ''[[Discworld]]'' game, Rincewind gets a ride in the cleavage of The Lady.

* In ''[[Marvel vs. Capcom Clash of the Superheroes]]'' and ''[[Marvel vs. Capcom 2]]'', one could be forgiven for thinking [[Mega Man (video game)|Roll]] pulls her [[Arm Cannon|Roll Buster]] from beneath her dress, but it's apparently her shoe.

 

== Web Comics ==

* ''[[Ronin Galaxy]]'': In the beginning of the second chapter, Leona manages to keep her sword hidden in the upper folds of her kimono, even past the gaze from possible onlookers such as Cecil.

* [[Author Avatar|PMJ]] the Hamster's personal assistant Helga provides her boss with transportation this way in ''[[Sequential Art (webcomic)|Sequential Art]]''. One could say it's the [[A Worldwide Punomenon|"breast seat in the house"]].

'''Jenny:''' ''(having shoved two comically [[Visual Pun|large cans]] down her tank top)'' Oh, I got a nice, tight shirt on. It really shows off my cans... they're nice... and... ''cylindrical''. }}

* Genderbent in ''[[Prequel (webcomic)|Prequel]]''. Gharugg keeps things in his abs.

* In ''[[Dubious Company]]'', after capturing the pirates, [[Handsome Lech|Marty]] frisks [[Blood Knight|Tiren]]. The [[Extended Disarming]] sequence leaves a mass of weapons greater than her, and he is [[Nightmare Fuel|creeped out]] by where she keeps her shirukens. Also noted on her profile page:

* {{spoiler|[[Shredded Moose]] did this with a word bubble's tail. It was allegedly so vile that even the most caustic critics were afraid of comment on it beyond pointing out that it's there, [[And That's Terrible]]}}

 

== Web Original ==

** While reviewing ''[[Interstella 5555]]'' with other crew [[Paw Dugan]], [[The Nostalgia Chick|Nella and Elisa]], [[Jew Wario]] is skeptical at the sight of the female lead tucking a card between her boobs. Lisa responds that it's just one of those special things about being a lady. To demonstrate, Nella pulls several tins of food out of her bra. Shocked, [[Jew Wario]] turns back to Elisa, who has produced [[Hammerspace|three books and a pair of sandals]] from her cleavage.

** Dominic jokes about all the things that have gotten lost in [[Tomb Raider|Lara Croft's]] [http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/thatguywiththeglasses/vgcon/11858-ep6lara cleavage.]

 

== Western Animation ==

* ''[[Futurama]]'': [[Corrupt Corporate Executive|Corporate tycoon]] "Mom" hides the controlling device of the world's robots in her bra. At the end of the episode it's also shown that Professor Farnsworth keeps the controls of his giant albino shouting mutant gorillas [[Trouser Space|in his pants]].

* ''[[Family Guy]]'': Chris' substitute teacher hid ''everything'' in her boobs, including a whole class' worth of tests. She even had a machete in there. And then there's the time the [[Rule of Funny|raccoon]] that kept [[Brick Joke|attacking]] Peter jumped out from between Lois' breasts after she undid her blouse. It was the [[Rule of Three|third]] time the raccoon attacked Peter.

** The teacher also stows many things in her Compartment. Yakko commented, "What else you got in there?"

** The key to Minerva Mink's diary in "Moon Over Minerva".

* ''[[Justice League Unlimited]]'': "Dark Heart" features a sequence where [[Wonder Woman]] carried the Atom in her cleavage. Good thing she didn't inhale...

* Granny hides the hotel key here in the now famous [[Tex Avery]] cartoon ''[[Red Hot Riding Hood]]''.

* ''[[The Venture Brothers]]''

* Near the end of one [[Looney Tunes|Pepe Le Pew]] cartoon, Pepe is looking for Penelope, thinking she has maybe returned to the perfume shop. Penelope, who finds a blue Pepe to be extremely hot, comes in behind him, closes the door, and drops the key down the front of her coat. It's a [[Poetic Justice]] ending: Pepe had been chasing her throughout the cartoon because a spill of whitener had left her tail with a skunk-like streak. Towards the end, she fell in a rain barrel (removing the white on her tail and giving her a cold so she can't smell anymore) while he fell in the blue paint (covering up the BO that made her run away earlier). Now ''she's'' chasing ''him''. Several Pepe Le Pew cartoons have these turnabout endings.

* ''[[Batman: The Animated Series|Batman the Animated Series]]'': in "Pretty Poison", Poison Ivy retrieves her poison lipstick from her cleavage.

* In ''[[Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer]]'', Cousin Mel often hid things between her breasts like Austin Bucks phone number, Santa's letter, and some money she received from Bucks.

* Cornfed's girlfriend Tamora from an episode of ''[[Duckman]]'' hid things like Cornfed's phone number and her note to him in her enormous breasts.

* A girl also did this in the ''[[Beavis and Butthead]]'' episode "Date Bait" after Butthead gives her some dollars.

* ''[[DC Showcase: Catwoman]]'' features Selina retrieving her whip and a golden cat collar from inside her suit by way of her undoing her top. This is quite impressive considering just how tight we see the suit really is.

 

== Real Life ==

* There have been bras designed with a pocket between the cups to hold money.

* There have also been bras designed with a holster between the cups. There just aren't many good places for a woman to carry concealed, y'know.

* Quite a few girls who go to parties in an outfit designed without pockets will keep their phone in there. Lily Allen can be seen doing just this in the music video to one of her better singles.

* Wedding dresses don't have any pockets, and neither will the bridesmaids; a few strategically placed tissues can be quite handy if anyone's a little tearful after the big moment.

* An anecdote from the filming of the original ''[[Doctor Who]]'': apparently during the filming of the 1987 episode "Time and the Rani", the actress who played the female villain, Kate O'Mara, held up recording because her stick-on beauty spot had vanished from her face while on location, which meant they couldn't film her as it would have caused a continuity issue. It turned up an hour or so later... down her cleavage.

* [[Jamie Lee Curtis]] demonstrated on ''[[The Late Late Show]]'' that she kept a Palm Pilot and other items in her bra. May have been a call back to ''[[True Lies]]''.

* In a marching band with woodwind instruments, this is actually quite reasonable. Marching band uniforms don't always have pockets, and woodwind players always need a spare reed on hand.

* Many female shop lifters will attempt this. You'd think women would keep stolen goods ''away'' from where most men are looking.

* It is, or was, common for women to keep their lipstick in their bras even when carrying a purse. The warmth softened it, making it easier to apply evenly.

* Jennie Stencel from WXII apparently can [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EOPMfDdyeyQ&feature=related hold quite a bit in her bra].

* The WonderBra has been recommended to travelers as a form of money belt, putting extra cash into the insert pockets.

* Larger-breasted women are especially lucky in this area in terms of how much stuff they can hold in this compartment without it being noticeable. With large breasts comes great difficulty finding shirts that actually fit properly, especially if she has a much smaller waist circumference than that for the bust, so assuming that she doesn't tailor it later, the shirt will go over the bust and hang down. If a larger breasted woman is in this situation, she can put amazing amounts of stuff under the breast that can create quite a lump, but is quite invisible if she keeps her shirt on. This is sometimes called "infinite capacity".

* Female operatives in World War II were specifically trained in the use of all possible hiding places on their persons, especially the ones most men would be reluctant to examine too closely. This was most assuredly among them. This aspect of training has most likely been retained.
