I have f'ing great arms and shoulders from swimming all summer and the arm pose you're describing is the number one favorite vanity thing that I do.

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.

My sister has been doing this for about 8 years. Every fucking photo. She looks like a cardboard cut out at this point. OVER IT

And I was also going to post the arm on hip chicken pose, but this article sums it up.

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.
