Dorian Gray an Emo?

One of my more talented writers, handed this in to me some time ago. It's her contemporary version of Dorian Gray as an Emo.

I think the idea was sparked by a story I was relating about my fear that Casey was becoming an Emo earlier this year. When we took him school clothes shopping, he mentioned wanting to dye his hair dark and all that. Having had an Emo in my summer school session at the ALC, I knew where this was heading.

Then he wanted to get shoes! Instead of the preppy Pumas we had bought him last year, this year he wanted to go to Journeys in the mall and get . . . gulp, Etnies, the shoe choice of Emos everywhere.

Well, I began calling him Tickle Me Emo and we both had a chuckle.

Thankfully, Casey never took the plunge into the Emo trend (hey, who am I to say anything - I had a different Def Leppard and Metallica T-shirt for every day of the week plus a mullet and stone washed jeans).

Here is the updated version of Dorian Gray:
