 | In Sue DeBeer's video, Hans & Grete, teenage girls wearing too much black eyeliner listlessly leaf through magazines and get blood on their mouths. The monitors are set up in a pink-carpeted room with giant stuffed animals and a fake purple Fender guitar and amps arranged on the floor. Though the video is dark and spooky, the room takes its inspiration from a more girlish variety of "pink Goth," which Sarah Vowell, the writer and radio contributor, described in a hilarious story about trying to fit in with a group of Goth kids who made her re-christen herself with the scariest name she could think of: Becky. |  |
