Why did THIS become world news (concerning goth culture)? 
I read about this a few days ago. But this is the first and only time I've had the opportunity to see the picture for myself. | |

The blonde girl is a poser cause everyone knows real goth chicks dye their hair black. [Edited 9/30/09 11:30am] The Most Important Thing In Life Is Sincerity....Once You Can Fake That, You Can Fake Anything. |

I think the 'Goth Culture' comments are a sidebar in this. The 'news' behind this photo-opt is that in Spain, the children of political figures are not allowed to be photographed or displayed in public to protect their identity and privacy. When the Spanish PM's daughters were displayed, they were for the first time in their lives, and unlike any other children of Spanish political figures, thrown into the spotlight--which can be quite vicious. So the hoopla is over the displaying of their image at all moreso than how 'goth' they may look. It's hard for American get wrap our head around this because we so frequently attack and pray on the children of political figures (Chelsea Clinton, several of of the Bush girls, etc.). | |

Oh. I thought Heart had embarked on a comeback tour and the Obamas were crazed fans.

Well, then why have them in a photo op at all? This is not a paparazzi pic that they can't control. It woulda been real simple to just not allow them to pose in the pic. So I blame the parents.  | |

The girl on the right with the dark hair looks JUST like one of my friends. 
calls up Affy to see if she's secretly a political child "A Watcher scoffs at gravity!" | |

I agree. Just pointing out what all the controversy was--that's all. | |

I'm just saying that I didn't understand why the parents allowed them to pose in an official picture yet wanted the WH photographer to blur out their faces.  | |

"Meanwhile, the e-mail inboxes of the Spanish people filled, as they would in the United States, with doctored versions of the photo showing the teenage girls as members of the Addams Family, the metal band KISS, and as Orcs from J. R. R. Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings" trilogy."
