Spanish Prime Minister's Daughters Pictured For The First Time... Looking Like Goths [Pic in URL]

[Pictures taken of the Spanish prime minister with his wife and daughters alongside Michelle and Barack Obama have caused a stir, not least because the teenagers look like goths]

By Daily Mail Reporter 29th September 2009

The official photos, taken at the Museum of Modern Art where the Obamas were hosting a dinner, were uploaded onto the U.S. state department's Flickr page.

Unlike the Obamas, Spanish prime minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero has always tried to keep his daughters, Laura, 16, and Alba, 13, out of the public eye.

oh Lord. These girls look awful! I don’t care if you are a goth look or not. This attire considering the occasion is way off the mark. One can do goth and still look formal and lovely (for a goth look, which I am not into really). A lovely black dress with black ballet flats at a minimum would have been flattering. Skip the metal wrist bands. Uck!

The butchy-looking wife isn’t exactly photogenic, either.

On another note. Michelle looks better than I've ever seen her. ... very nice.

The whole goth thing is about shocking right? Why bring them? I know they are most likely trying to be supportive and ‘understanding,’ but they need to teach the children to respect the parents’ needs and expectations as well. They can always change into their goth world afterward if the parents are that tolerant. No wonder the parents hide them. They have a real problem at home and are trying to hide that.

yes. I agree about Michelle. She looks fantastic here. Now if we could just get her to apply this working formula more often, she would be a fashionable first lady no matter what her politics or personality.

I held back from making a comment to the effect that the Prime Minister was right to keep them out of the public eye, out of a desire not to be cruel. I see I was needlessly concerned.

So, “keep them out of the public eye”, and rightly so. The blonde really needs to work on her posture, and the blackhaired one is standing as though they let her out just for the photograph, and she’s nervous around other people.

I would happily. Of course as goths they would hiss at me.

When goths were big, when I was younger and I hung in the music world in which this style was rampant, I would often wear white (being a very feminine, natural blond with very blond hair this really got their hateful goat, which of course I loved!)

I often went as formal as possible with all the girly touches (not over the top of course--LOL). When I went into the restrooms they often hissed at me. I just smiled at them. Often laughing. Once I even thought I'd scare a couple of them and said, "watch out girls. You never know I may just be carrying a pretty big gun, in this lovely little purse." and walked out tossing my long blond locks. LOL.

The only thing that is strange about this picture is the “The Long Legged Mack Daddy the Zebra” allowed ANYONE else beside HIMSELF to be included without HIM being the center of attention.

On second thought I have studied Michelle a bit more closely and find as you say that while she does look 100% better than most times, she does not look fantastic. On the initial glance I projected the outfit I would have like to have seen on her and it came off visually as I can now see she is hidden on the sides by the wife and the daughter. Also the daughters look so horrendous and the black so overwhelming that the color she is wearing is accentuated and a wonderful break for the eye.

She one looks thinner because her sides are cut off. She looks like her dress is more attractive that it actually looks to be on closer examination. (I actually projected a sheath dress with a pashima type wrap draped tightly across the front beneath her chin that mostly likely came together in the back. Had Michelle been wearing that outfit with this same color and the wonderfully colored and pointed shoes she has on, I would have to reconfirm she looks fantastic. As is she needs to hire a new designer. Preferably someone with a classic style that takes risks and really works the wonderful choices of color that she can wear as she is so dark. Her hair is close to nice, but is greased down just a tad too much.

However she looks much better as you mentioned. It is sad. She could really look sharp, especially if she lost some weight.

they look like characters right out of the “Addams Family,” perhaps uncle Fester’s daugthers.

I am thinking that Michelle Ma-belle was wearing a sack cloth or something. Sorry but you just cant dress up a pig.

If it looks remotely normal, it’s not goth. Even these girls in Spain are not goths. Read more when I publish my memoir dedicated to my first wife, entitled: “Don’t Marry the Goth Chic”

What is Michele wearing this time?

In the pix it truly looks like a canvas bag.

(OK, enough with the snarky sexist comments about looks, including poor fashion...[as long as it’s not low-class prostitute wear].)

At least they are better dressed than B&MO’s kids!. Let us not forget the “peace” t-shirts, shorts, etc. on their tour in Europe. First impressions were that the O's didn't show any respect for their hosts.

“Goth” is appropriate. Wasn’t it the decendents of the Goths who got run out of Spain by the muslims? Zapatero is taking Spain in that same direction.
