1. The largely forward-facing nature of the pose, combined with making the poser take up slightly more space, make her appear more confident. In a way making it the inverse of the CoyGirlishFlirtPose.

In addition to the basic pose, extra touches can be added such as FootPopping or twisting or pivoting to the side. It also be tweaked by being done while laying down, often invoking RecliningReigner or ReadyForLovemaking.

A common ModelingPose where the person places one hand on the side or back of her head and the other on her hip/buttock. This pose is generally associated with modeling since it tends to draw more attention to a woman's curves. It also has a certain versatility in that it can be both a FanService-y pose and simultaneously elegant depending on how it is utilized or framed. It is also often associated with pin-up models. This pose is used for a few reasons:

It also has a certain versatility in that it can be both a FanService-y pose and simultaneously elegant depending on how it is utilized or framed. It is also often associated with pin-up models. This pose is used for a few reasons:

1. The largely forward-facing nature of the pose, combined with making the poser take up slightly more space, make her appear more confident. In a way making it the inverse of the CoyGirlishFlirtPose.

2. By having one hand on the head, it draws attention to the woman's face, along with her hair.

3. Meanwhile the hand on her hip/buttock draws attention there, to show off that she has nice hips or a shapely posterior (if placed further back rather than forward). This can be further emphasized by pivoting her stance so that the hip is more prominent, or by [[ShakingTheRump shaking her hips.]]

4. The placements together guide the viewer's eyes in such a way that that they notice the woman's curves.

5. When being used to show off an outfit like a dress, it keeps the overall image dynamic and interesting while not blocking the clothing they're trying to display.

In addition to the basic pose, extra touches can be added such as a FootPop or twisting or pivoting to the side. It also be tweaked by being done while laying down, often invoking RecliningReigner or ReadyForLovemaking.

A character who strikes this pose is likely a MsFanService or TheFashionista. At least in more straight examples. If done playfully it is often meant to imitate or invoke such characters.

Compare ReadyForLovemaking, a similar pose performed on a bed that's more explicitly sexual, and BoobsAndButtPose.

* In Chapter 130 of ''Manga/KomiCantCommunicate'', the protagonists' new class is forced to perform their self-introductions in accordance to whatever is stipulated by a dice roll. When the turn comes for Shouko Komi, the [[ShrinkingViolet crippingly shy]] female protagonist, her dice roll requires her to do a "sexy pose" while performing her self-introduction. She (very reluctantly) puts one hand on the back of her head and the other hand on her hip as her choice of "sexy pose".

The real Mae West is adopting this head-and-hips pose while a dozen photographers' flashbulbs ignite. The doorman, who'd been shadowing Danny to chase him off the property, inadvertently photobombs this moment.
