Oct 1, 2009: Goth or Not?

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

Quote:
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.



Quote:
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?

the one on the right is. the boots give it away. she's definitely at least aesthetically goth. The bracelets on the blonde one seem to imply that she might be but one can't tell if she is or not just from this.

Yup.
And they've perfected the whole "Children Of The Corn"/ 'we want to eat your brains' stare.

Is it just me, or does Obama look like a wax statue in this pic?

LOL!! I think they're Goth but they also look like they might be fun people.

Dang, Bruce where'd you find that picture? I looked all over for it the instant I heard it was "yanked". All I could find was the X'd out one.

Definitely goth - not that there's anything wrong with that.
And after all they are nice young girls, happily posing with Daddy's work colleagues and even smiling!

Let's just hope their friends don't ostracise them because of it

It's just a phase.

The brunette's makeup is no different than the "mod" look of the sixties. The clothes, however, are from the Witch Trials of past centuries..

Yeah, that's what I was thinking...
"Spanish Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero was overheard saying to Mrs. Obama "I vant to suck yoooor blooooood". With Dracula as your father, how could they not be goth?

I keep hearing the Munsters theme song in my head every time I look at them.

I have to say that Michelle Obama looks particularly ravishing in the burlap bag, tastefully cinched around her waist.
