Garik

At first sight, Russian boy Garik may well look a rough'n'tough little street kid...

But don't let his looks fool you.

In real life, he's training as a ballet dancer!

He attends the school of one of the world's best known ballet companies (yes, it's that one!)

And, having won the annual top prize for the students in his age group twice running, he's tipped, he tells us, to go far.

Of course, once you know how he spends his time, you can see it in his HMBoys photographs - the way he manages to contort his body in all sorts of directions and into all sorts of shapes is a dead giveaway.

Garik tells us that he has a pretty good sex life too.

"Because we are strictly segregated from the girls in school and in our living quarters, even the straight boys are happy to play", he tells us.

Now that we know that, we've been encouraging young Garik to recruit one or two of his friends for HMBoys.com

Just seeing what the boy can do on his own makes us drool at the prospect of what he might be capable of if partnered with another boy.

Oh, and just in case one or two of you might even be interested in his artistic career, we did ask Garik what his favourite role was.

The answer was, of course, only to be expected...

"The Nutcracker."
