I think wider hips will make my waist look smaller, too. Unfortunately, I'm having trouble at the gym finding any machines that'll help my hips, so I may just have to focus on those at home. I did leg circles lying on my side with ankle weights, and those are I'm pretty sure what got me my hips before (although I also had a lot of cellulite at the time, and so some of that was also probably extra water-weight). I did them with 2lb weights before, but now that I have 10lb weights, I think I'll be able to make progress much faster.

@ gym: Abductors, setting the seat back towards a decline posture, will work the Gluteus Medius. This is where you should look at hypertrophy training, you want "visual mass". ;-)

The "Hydrants" (Hip circles?) you mentioned elsewhere wlaso should get you good results. It's those other two parts of the Gluteals, mostly the Medius, you need to "grow" a bit.
As mentioend elsewhere, hula hooping, bellydance, and yoga shuold help, too - but I'm not an expert on those. there was a blog/site, IIRC - "Build your female curves," i think it was - where a competitive female body builder had exercises listed. don't knwo if it's still up, though - you'll need to google.
She did things with hula hoops and ankle weights and such for the same reasons. (though she didn't need help... Jealous.)
