Is "Goth" Congential? Yes: Genes Link Dwarfism and Goth Affectations
Having studied "Goth" culture, so to speak, non-judgmentally and for some time, I have arrived at the inevitable conclusion that there is one , or perhaps more than one, "Goth" gene, predisposing certain individuals to dressing themselves in nonformal black attire, using excessive black eyeliner, black makeup, black lipstick, black nail polish, and black hair dye. I shall politely refrain from opining about the fascist death-camp implications of the ubiquitous "goth look," which has been around since at least 1939.
A preponderance of my Goth patients were and are white, Palm-Beach, Caucasian females with fair skin and black hair and healthy tans. Most are bejewelled with large unflattering earrings and seem to be receptive toward "extreme bodily modification" if they have not undergone such socially mandated procedures already.
Fascinated by this wannabe has-been The Cure meets Scissorhands culture of doom, gloom and odd sense of fashion, I took random blood samples of my so-Goth-inclined patients (even my multiply-pierced dwarf client), whosimply assumed they (male and female) were undergoing a routine amniocentesis. Sufficiently sedated, they willingly signed lots of agreements, which are available upon request. A lot of them spoke whislt asleepish.
I will neither confirm nor deny whther Rachel Zoe-What was ever a client. I will say that I admire her work, or her surgeon's work, or both. Good work, dudes! I'm all for waifism. And Goth.
So be peppered: I plan on marketing my magical Goth formula, and not just to the Crissy Angelinas of A&E Boulevard.
Stay tuned.
