Some girls are born princesses. Others have to scrape for their tiaras. But when they get their day — as about 300 Mexican girls did this weekend — they relish it to the fullest.
They were part of a massive quinceañera celebration, the traditional coming-out party for Mexican girls turning 15. Dressed in colorful gowns and with hair coiffed like movie stars, the girls danced, shrieked and embraced on a stage in the capital’s main plaza.
Most of the girls come from poor families and typically would be left wanting in a ritual that illustrates the gap between Mexico’s haves and have-nots.”*
