The cross your legs things was originally done to hid shapeless or unsightly legs.
The hands on the hips before the toddler or dog stance is called Akimbo--an African battle stance. The hands on the hips while posing for the paparazzi is used to slenderize the arms, elongate the torso. None of these stances are new. |

Now I'm on a roll.
Here's another pose-maniac doing the leg cross. 
And her famous pose, the stupid foot turned inward. I have a friend who does this all over Facebook and she looks totally ridiculous.
