It's a beautiful thing... corpse paint in the Magic Kingdom. And interestingly enough, Mickey himself is sporting the white-face/black-extremities look. Hmm... I've never noticed it before. He's even got the sought after widow's peak that's so popular among vampire youth these days. But anyway, this beautiful thing is called Bats Day, and it involves thousands of goths taking part in a three-day, Disneyland adventure. Here's what the press has to say about the event:
Break out the black eyeliner and black t-shirts, ma... we're going to Disneyland!
"It really must be the happiest place on Earth, when even the Goths can’t stop smiling." - Claire Luna, Los Angeles Times Staff Writer
"Don’t let anyone tell you that the Age of Irony is over. It’s alive and well in California, and here’s the proof:
Goth kids love Disneyland." - Chuck Klosterman, Spin Magazine Story Writer
"Who could resist the fun – the gloomiest people in the universe in The Happiest Place on Earth? - Jonathan Gold, LA Weekly, Writer
