All right Men’s Fashion Friday it is. The day when I get you the goddamned look of presidents and dictators for a whole lot less. We’ve had requests for women, but they don’t count because they aren’t men and this is Men’s Fashion Friday. Yeah men rule! Quite literally.
Today the fashion spotlight turns on probably the vainest leader in the non-free world. Yep the man with the hair and platforms. The man who will send you and five generations of your family to a concentration camp to work until you starve to death if you just think bad thoughts against the state. You guessed it, he’s the paranoid, cognac fuelled, playboy, playwright, film-making, novel writing, girlfriend-kidnapping, head of the Korean Workers’ party. Yep, it’s Dear Leader Kim Jong-Il.

North Korean’s believe Kim Jong-il was born in a log cabin on the country’s highest mountain. They’re taught this before they can write. They’re also told that the occasion was marked by a double rainbow and a bright star in the sky. If you don’t agree with this you’re done for, so bloody well believe it, kid. It’s a load of crap, Kim Jong-il was born in Siberia, when his dad (Kim Il-Sung) was in exile. He’s a godamned Ruskie!
If I met Kim Jong-ill I’d punch him in his fat face. He’s starving his people while his girly son goes to see Eric Clapton live in concert. But this doesn’t mean he’s not a fashion-conscious guy. He takes great care of his appearence, particularly that perm, to the point of paranoia. I still want to knock him into next week.
In the above photo, Kim is wearing his trademark army two-piece suit thing. You’ll rarely see him in a business suit. Not because it symbolises all the West stands for, but simply because a bullet-proof vest doesn’t sit comfortable under a suit jacket, if you’re a lard arse.
The army two-piece thing pretty much sums up Kim. It says: why button, when you can zip? When it comes to Kim it’s all about comfort.
You’ll also notice the elasticised ribbing on the jacket’s sides. A nice touch, that looks sporty while giving you that “tucked-in†feeling all day. The jacket isn’t decorated with medals and brass and those stupid ropes important soldiers wear. Kim may be fat but he isn’t stupid, he likes to give off a “down with the peops†air, even if he goes home to his palace to drink priceless liquor out of the high heels of stolen Japanese women.
Casting the eyes down we see the trousers are most definitely cut from the same material. We can’t spot a belt here, but I’m willing to bet my future children’s lives that he’s got an elasticised waist going on in there. Once again, comfort over style, a lot like a Toyota Camry.
