Thank you, CM.

Raincoaster, I read fashion blogs because I like fashion. I read Manolo’s blog because I like fashion *and* humor. I don’t read fashion blogs in order to pick on minors, especially minors who are not entertainers or celebrities. Adults who choose the limelight are fair game. Kids are not.

Raincoaster, seriously? Why are you asking your question to someone’s retreating back? Can’t one read a blog regularly and still object to a particular entry without having their general interest about a subject called into doubt? How absurd.

I’m not purporting to answer for TRex, but *I* read fashion and gossip blogs to have a laugh. If you want to have an actual one about this same photo, pull up Michael K’s entry from Dlisted. You could stand to really absorb it to learn how to write your Ayyyy! entries.

“Homunculus” is literally simply “little human.” It’s not an insult. “Gothic” is the name of a style, which they certainly exemplify. Gothic homunculus has a lot of syllables, which is why it’s funny.

I like the girls. Although they didn’t do themselves any favors with the black sack dresses, they are: neat. Clean. COVERED. And even *smiling*.

T-Rex, why do you read fashion blogs? Now I’m curious…

They are 13 and 16, Ya’ll. Leave them alone. They are more pulled together and coordinated than I was at that age, so more power to them! And good on Mom and Dad for letting them be themselves.

BTW, the people who feel it’s OK to pick on these girls for their clothing choices are showing their lack of maturity.

Actually, as a recovering Goth the only issue I have with this picture (other than the posture!) is Since When Have Muumuus Been Goth????

Girls, REPRESENT!

Oh for god’s sake people; I have two 13 year old daughters (twins) and there is NO WAY I’d allow them to wear their middle school punk rock wardrobes for an official visit to the WHITE HOUSE! Their parent’s should have left the kids at home.

Correction: “think this could have BEEN done better (and as a former Gothling, I certainly DON’T… etc., etc.” I know how to use a keyboard most of the time, I promise.

Guts? Um, Claire, no. ZP doesn’t have the guts to stand up to his own teenage daughters and remind them that a high-profile gala, covered by international press, is perhaps not the same type of situation as meeting up with the gang at the pizza place, just as he doesn’t have the guts to make an actual stand against much graver issues. Back to the kids, I actually think it’s great that they’re Goths. I think it’s great that they do and wear whatever they want on their own time. As it is, whether they like it or not, and whether the results of their choice are to their liking or not, at that moment they were the image of their nation, and many of the represented, the people who pay dad’s salary, think this could have done better (and, as a former Gothling, I certainly don think this type of thing does much to dispel the general assumption that all Goths are all immature and without a clue of the real world, either). Would it have killed them to act the part just once? Also, the pic leaves me wondering how soon the girls will outgrow their Goth phase, if they do, and then how are they going to look back on their parents allowing them to be immortalized on the public eye in this way.
