Kimmie sets world fashion trend: Pyongyang

On the catwalk...

AFP - The trademark suit sported by North Korean leader Kim Jong-Il is now in fashion worldwide thanks to his greatness, Pyongyang's official website said Wednesday.
How do I look?
Like a million bucks, Dear Leader. Those Russian hookers will be falling all over you.

Uriminzokkiri, quoting an article in communist party newspaper Rodong Sinmun, said the modest-looking suits have gripped people's imagination and become a global vogue.
I can't stand it! I'VE GOT TO HAVE ONE!!
"The reason is that the august image of the Great General, who is always wearing the modest suit while working, leaves a deep impression on people's mind in the world," it said. "To sum it up, that is because his image as a great man is so outstanding."
Emanuel! Find out where he get's his suits! Right now!!
As you wish, sire Mr. President.

The article quoted an unidentified French fashion expert as saying world fashion follows Kim Jong-Il's style."Kim Jong-Il mode which is now spreading expeditiously worldwide is something unprecedented in the world's history," the stylist was quoted as saying.
It's bigger then Che t-shirts! You said I'd get cash, right?
The suits consist of an overall-style zipped-up tunic and matching trousers, usually in khaki or blueish-grey. The 68-year-old leader wears them even when receiving foreign dignitaries.
What'll it be today, Dear Leader?
What did we go with yesterday?
Blueish-grey.
How about the khaki then?
Fine choice, Dear Leader.

During his outside "field guidance" trips in winter, he also dons a shapeless anorak and fur hat.
You! Pick that up! And I want a hydroelectric dam put in right here!
We're done! Where's my friggin car!

Kim and his deceased father Kim Il-Sung are at the heart of a personality cult that borders on religion, with near-magical powers ascribed to the younger Kim. Rainbows supposedly appeared over sacred Mount Paekdu where Kim Jong-Il was allegedly born, and he is said once to have scored 11 holes-in-one in a single round of golf.
I knew about the golf, but I thought the rainbows came out of his ass...

#4  Well, that's inspired me. Now I have to go out to my tailor and get one made. One great thing about China is the low cost of labor means you can actually get things done without spending a fortune.

#2  It is nice of American Idol to let Dear Leader compete under a pseudonym.
