Remiss of me not to note that this photograph of the Obamas and the Zapateros has caused quite a stir in Spain. That’s because the Spanish people were not generally aware that the Prime Minister’s daughters, Laura and Alba*, are goths. There’s a law that protects their privacy, you see and so, until the State Department released this photo, no Spanish paper had printed photographs of the girls.
Like Marbury, I think they look pretty fine and think the world would be a better place if more politicians’ kids explored entertaining sub-cultures and the like.
*Is this a common name in Spain? I mean, sure, it’s derived from the latin for white but it’s also the historic name for, er, Scotland.
