# Tends to enforce a sidelong glance from the character, intending to invoke a submissive or vulnerable image.
# Shows the character is supple and limber.
# As the alternative name suggests, lets you see the character's butt and chest at the same time, so both Ass and Tit fans get what they want. If it's trying to be anatomically realistic, the "tit" part will usually be restricted to [[Side BoobSideboob]].
 
Popular with glamor models and anime characters. Naturally characters not portrayed by real life actors can pull this off more effectively, since they can twist in ways that would [[Rule of Cool|snap a real person's spine]] or at least be darn uncomfortable.
Line 17 ⟶ 15:
At least one glamor model has blamed their back problems on having to repeatedly pose in this way. Not that glamor models don't have [[Gag Boobs|other causes]] of back pain.
 
Compare [[Coy Girlish Flirt Pose]]. Not to be confused with [[Over -the -Shoulder Carry]].

Note that all of these are probably NSFW.
* A recent photo project involved pictures of men in masculine clothes, but ''posed'' like female pin-up models, complete with several in over-the-shoulder poses and some with coy, dippy smiles. As should surprise no one, they looked entirely silly.
