Goth becomes Prime Minister of Ukraine.

[ciphergoth]

I thought this deserved wider propogation. You are no doubt all aware of the recent electoral shenanigans in the Ukraine, in which the former ruling party tried to rig the elections in their favour, but following a large (and apparently well-funded) protest, a new election was held appointing Viktor Yushchenko as President.

What you may not know, but what has recently been brought to my attention by spyinthehaus, is that his political partner and now the new Prime Minister, Yulia Timoshenko, is a BLOODY GOTH!

I present ABSOLUTE PROOF!

Good God. You're right.

Does this make her first against the wall when the revolution comes? And will you shoot her afterwards anyway?

It's not a Spectrum. It's a Hobbit.

Wow man, that really takes me back... I didn't think it was remotely possible to even have the slightest possibility of the a razor-thin hint that those machines had network capabilities --other than smoke signals muah ha ha ha ha

Aha!
My gothdar is clearly working - the first time I saw her on TV I thought "she looks like she ought to be a goth".

[faithais.livejournal.com]

i am not joking but when i saw the piece of news re this on bbc, did you see her outfit? i seriously thought 'she looks gothy!' YAY!:) She's very pretty:)

[envoy.livejournal.com]

Wow... she's really cute.

[spyinthehaus.livejournal.com]

That is, ultimately, the important thing.

Apparently as well as being PM of Ukraine, she owns about a fifth of it.

[spyinthehaus.livejournal.com]

Joking apart, she is rapidly becoming my ideal woman. Do you have any idea *which* fifth? I'm keeping fingers crossed for gramniferous or nuclear. Or both, but perhaps not in the same place.

[zotz]

I expect there's a queue. Probably quite a long one. A lot of them probably very scary.

Do you have any idea *which* fifth?

Apparently her company has a monopoly, more or less, on natural gas, which is one of the few things in the area that have any value.

[spyinthehaus.livejournal.com]

Ah, neither so pure as the waving fields of Ukrainian grain nor so oddly arousing as the neat peaks of decomposing former Soviet nuclear ordnance, but there's a lot of it and it's inflammable, so what the Hell? We can stretch a point this once.

At least one strong entrant is wanted by Interpol. Her husband, Oleksander Tymoshenko.

[spyinthehaus.livejournal.com]

Oh, I think anyone wanted by Interpol gets to queue-jump. Isn't that traditional?

[envoy.livejournal.com]

Not at all actually. *shrug*

[narnee.livejournal.com]

Her own unique sense of style, yes. Goth, no.

I submit my first piece of evidence as the fact that goths don't generally wear beige suits: http://www.tymoshenko.com.ua/eng/showphoto/1035/m/

[purplerabbits.livejournal.com]

Why am I thinking Evita?

And I wonder if the plaits are false or if she just had them cut of at some point...

[spyinthehaus.livejournal.com]

The coat's beige, the dress underneath appears to be, if anything, aged lace in colour - check out the fingersleeves.

[ciphergoth.livejournal.com]

Wave your hands in the air like you just don't care!

[shadowdaddy.livejournal.com]

okay, that made me spit my coffee. =P

[lovelybug.livejournal.com]

She certainly poses pretty damn hard. But goth? She's wearing a sky blue jumper in one shot...

Gift horses, though. I mean, it may be a while before Tarantella Serpentine is sworn in as Secretary General of the UN. This may be the best shot for a bit of tenebrpous identity politics...

[lovingboth]

The new PM's apparently a billionaire. Somehow I doubt he'll be poorer at the end of it.

[ergotia.livejournal.com]

I dont think she is gonna be serious competition at the Spa though :)

[biog.livejournal.com]

Hmmm, now are you 110% certain she's a goth & definately NOT just a spooky kid? :)
