Fashion and dictators: Qaddafi in Vanity Fair

Recommended Posts



Not to be out-down by the Iran’s “Leisure Suit Larry” Ahmadinejad, Vanity Fair has put together a retrospective of some of the eh, best (?) … worst (?) of Libya’s Momar Qaddafi in “Dictator Chic.”
“Since completing his transition from international pariah to statesman, Colonel Muammar Qaddafi—the longest-serving leader in both Africa and the Arab world—has brought color and his own eccentric panache to the drab circuit of international summits and conferences. Drawing upon the influences of Lacroix, Liberace, Phil Spector (for hair), Snoopy, and Idi Amin, Libya’s leader—now in his 60s—is simply the most unabashed dresser on the world stage. We pay homage to a sartorial genius of our time.”
I think #10 is my favorite? :D :P

Of course, they’ve got a long way to go to keep up with Russia’s #1 man of action. :ph34r:

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

Neither actually. (Sorry to disappoint. [:/])

The link was sent to me by a former colleague ... altho' his process for finding it might make a good story. ;)

The cape is a nice touch; don't see that nearly often enough.

The rest make it look like he has run AWAY from the circus.

Rumor is they're all virgins ... or supposed to be.
(Not sure if that qualifies as brilliance, PR, or something else.)
