One has her arms crossed in front of herself a way to protect oneself a way to show she is not going to take any more crap a way to say RESPECT MY SPACE and the other has her hands crossed in back which in body language clearly means <i>I'm covering my ass</i> or <i>I'm protecting myself</i>. I love the paring of these two postures and the stories inside them.<br />xoRadish Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06534752971317927559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5499380851432081366.post-88859461791080468742010-11-17T07:20:40.337-08:002010-11-17T07:20:40.337-08:00I have loved them from the start.
