Although Bill de Blasio has tweeted more than 4,000 times and scored nearly 30,000 Facebook “likes,” his teenage daughter wouldn’t know — she’s not on social media.
“I think technology in general has brought a lot of positive things, but it’s preventing people from really being in the moment, living the lives they would otherwise be living,” Chiara de Blasio told TeenVogue.com in a new interview.
Chiara, 19, is the only member of the city’s new First Family without an online presence. In addition to her mayor-elect dad, mother Chirlane McCray also has Facebook and Twitter accounts, and younger brother Dante has more than 400 friends on Facebook.
But Chiara’s stance isn’t necessarily a bad thing. The Santa Clara University sophomore’s aversion to online oversharing may have spared her pop a load of embarrassment when she was getting wasted on booze and pot before undergoing treatment, which she talked about in a confessional Christmas Eve video last week.
Chiara — best known for her eye-catching headbands, including the “flower crown” she wore on stage on primary night — gabbed with the online mag after a photo session.
The online mag says her other favored fashion accessories include ear gauges, a nose stud and rings in her eyebrow and belly button — which she got pierced at age 15.
She listed Urban Outfitters, Asos and L Train Vintage among her main shopping destinations.
A vegetarian, Chiara scarfed down an egg-and-cheese sandwich with fries and a “Cappuccino Freeze Coffee Milkshake” during the interview at 7th Avenue Donuts near her family’s Park Slope home, which is soon to be abandoned for Gracie Mansion.
She bragged that she got younger brother Dante, 15, to share her love of heavy-metal music, including “old school,” “thrash” and “death metal.”
She said she also listens to classic rock and Staten Island rappers the Wu-Tang Clan and plans to cover a new, gray-and-maroon varsity jacket with Grateful Dead patches.
