Oct 1, 2009: Goth or Not?

[xoxoxoBruce]

The two daughters of Spain's Prime Minister, are they Goth or not?

Here's Barack and Michelle Obama with Spanish Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero and his family. The State Department uploaded it to Flickr. (What an unlikely sentence!) Whoops—no one in Spain has ever seen Zapatero's Goth daughters before!

I seriously doubt no one has ever seen them.

According to Zapatero, Spanish law allows him to prevent the Spanish media from running any photographs of his 16 and 13-year-old daughters Laura and Alba. For their privacy, see. And because maybe it would be considered weird for the PM to have goth daughters, but it totally shouldn't be. It is a natural part of life, becoming a teenaged goth.

But are they really Goth? I mean mom and Dad are wearing black, and it is an official state function. OK, the one on the right has black nail polish and eye makeup, but does that make her Goth? What do you think?
