My grandmother always taught me, while growing up, never to put my hands on my hips, at least when speaking to her or anyone for that matter. If I did, she would say "take your hands off your hips." Up to this day I cannot understand why, maybe it shows belligerence.
I only just noticed today how all these famous young women pose with their hand(s) on their hip(s). I not quite sure what that pose says to their audience/voyeurs. Or maybe they just didn't know what to do with their hands. How about clasped behind the back or confidently down to the sides?
Now, I wonder if any of my photographs has me with my hand(s) on my hip(s).

I have photos from my bday with my hands on my hips :( and vana too!!!!!!!!!!!!
one actress (zoe salanda?) said that hands behind your back make you/her look armless... it's also a submissive stance, IMO.
Actresses are told to stand with their hands on their hips, probably for the fall of the dress.
