Apologies for the quality of the above shot, but the guy who managed to take this probably was shot. People don’t get to see Kim, let alone see him fooling around. When he’s not in his army two-piece, the only other item of clothing you’ll find Kim in is this jacket. He certainly looks snug as a bug, unlike the people in the Yodok detention settlement who have to tie paper to themselves because the soldiers in their death camps have taken away clothing as punishment.

This jacket, is known to North Koreans as the “people’s outfit”. It says: I’m warm and you’re not.  A bullet-proof vest is also well accommodated by the “people’s outfit”, too.

At just 5ft 3in Kim isn’t a tall chap. He has a bit of an issue with this but rumour has it that it’s nothing a pair of sturdy platform shoes can’t fix. Apparently there’s a photo of him taken with Russian President Vladmir Putin in 2003. From the pic it’s clear that Kim’s showing off a new pair of platforms increasing his height by a whopping 12cm. For goodness sake Dear Leader you may as well just get some circus stilts and long stripey pants.

I couldn’t find that picture but there is this one below which is is good enough to convince me he wears platforms. Look closely at his left heel. It’s massive! And he’s still short.

Finally we have the sunglasses. For a bloke that hates the United States so much, Kim sure does like Hollywood’s produce. The man has a collection containing thousands of Hollywood films. Putting on the sunglasses gives Kim that movie-star feel. That they are so unfashionable that they are almost fashionable again, wouldn’t occur to him. When he looks in the mirror he sees Jack Nicholson looking back.
