Sixth Grade Dance Parties


Okay, so what we have here is a study in contrasts. First, I love the boy on the left. He is so excited and happy and trying not to have a lightning boner and scare the girl away. It's probably the first time he's touched a girl's bottom and he is truly, really enjoying the moment as well as holding onto that butt for dear life -- he does not want to let this moment end. You can also tell from her body language that the girl is kind of uncomfortable, she doesn't want to be the girl whose known for letting boys grab her bottom, but she's also leaning into him a bit. It's sweet.

On the right, you have the boy that is all too aware of the camera: the faux-sneer pose that also displays his nostrils, the soda pop at a jaunty angle that suggests an adult beverage of some sort. Im sure he's got the other hand on the girl's bottom as though he's done it a million times before and just doesn't care anymore: a girl is a girl and it's more important to get a good photo op in than to be stoked on the girl. She's hugging him much more and closer that the girl on the left, but he doesn't seem to care. He's a chav in the making.

Finally, I hope that little girl wondering in isn't there for the dance. She looks a little too young for this kind of party.
