Mandy and Courtney Overlap: Posed Photo Shoots

Both Mandy and Courtney both enjoy the awkward intimacy and heated lamp light of a portrait studio. As glamour shots have demonstrated, Mandys poses are extremely exact and reliant upon positions that are exceedingly unnatural to the human condition. Courtneys often try to pose but cannot focus their attention enough to maintain the position that well. They are also likely to look as though they are currently going to the bathroom or just took a whippet hit. Mandy has commitment while Courtney has heart.

Mandys:

The trick of being a Mandy is to make a very big deal seem like no big deal. They practiced that lean in their living room two weeks ago and almost separated over an argument about whether or not they should smile.

This pose is one of the most complicated varieties and can only be taken on by someone with both determination and a realistic fear that no boy will ever feel her up.

The closeted Tammy on the left will eventually hate herself for the amount of time she tolerated the conversation about which hand should be held over which hand.

These two Mandys have never said a swear word to each other ever in the 72 years they have been married and they recycle.

Courtneys:

Courtney couples like photographs because they capture the essence of their love without the smell of microwave popcorn and urine.

Courtneys know that if you put a lot of energy into demonstrating the western prairie side of your personality through intricate prop placement then all you really need is a white t-shirt and a mediocre attitude to make a photo.

People have the choice of thinking about their immediate and present situation that they are are in, or thinking about anything else such as Guiding Light, coleslaw, or naked people. Courtneys like the latter.

Although their pose may be somewhat exact, their faces make it clear that they aren't interested in understanding the true meaning of the chair. They rather be watching America's Funniest Home Videos with their shirts off.
