[[caption-width-right:280:I'm a little teapot, short and stout... and full of va-voom!]]
A character stands jauntily with one arm perched on their hip, and the other raised and bent, causing them to resemble a teapot; the raised arm vaguely resembles the pouring spout of a teapot while the lowered arm resembles its handle. Curving or bending the hips and legs is optional.
This pose is a more feminine, "limp-wristed" version of the DynamicAkimbo pose. It's typically used to indicate that a character is either sassy, rude, sarcastic, effeminate, or feminine. As such, it's quite often the default pose of the ValleyGirl, any [[CampGay camp]] [[CampStraight person]], the SassyBlackWoman, and TheOjou.
Whenever it's used for a sassy character, expect it to be paired with a FingerWag or TalkToTheHand. Compare CoyGirlishFlirtPose, which is also typically used for feminine or effeminate characters. Also compare HeadAndHipPose, where the difference is that the hand not on the hip is to the side of the head.

* This pose appears among the five "mouse" dancers [[https://www.deviantart.com/oneuglybunny/art/Teapot-892875624 in a 2018 commercial for Mouse Computers]]. If one counts the non-akimbo arm pointing down, the pose appears in the dance of every character in the commercial (except the cat, natch): the engineer, the scientist and the phone operator. It's reflective of a small start-up company daring to enter the laptop market, competing against large corporations such as Dell and Acer, for which the black cat is an allegory.
