Global Fashion for World Leaders

Leaders of APEC nations; Photo - AFP

Thoughts on this photo from this week's APEC conference in Thailand:

- Is it really necessary for world leaders to wear the garb of their host country when making a visit? Because can, say, leaders of Western countries, seem dignified while looking stupid in Asian jackets? We know it's trendy, but sometimes it's wrong to be trendy.
- That's how George and Barbara are keeping themselves young - laughing at W's class pictures.
- Does W always ask if he can sit next to his amigo, Mexican President Vicente Fox, during world leader meetings?

The AP asks if APEC is necessary.

  • GWB looks about 13-years-old in that picture. He's got a very middle school picture day look on his face. It's fun to play dress up, huh?

  • uh, doesn't he always look like an idiot? drooling or not?

  • lukas

    surf style!

    that's what GW's jacket is made of. the surf style oscillating purple-gold-blue-pink material.

    word!

  • First of all, GWB would look better if he had a decent color jacket. The rainbow color is not helping. Perhaps a dark blue.

    He also needs to wipe the stupid smirk off his face. He looks like a drooling idiot.

    RIO, I am only taking orders from our supreme leader, Dick Wolf.

    here's a random hotness question: does lucy liu have little freckles?

    i think freckles+asian descent is a deadly cuteness combo. ouch!

    lukas

    Heh Dubbya has his "amigo" on one side....now children I wonder if anyone has any idea who's on the other? Half the world has no idea so don't fret. He doesn't mind tho, he just loves Dubbya so much he'll forever be clinging for dear life ot his coat tails despite Australia's general reluctance....

    btw jen, I hate you, you have somehow managed to hook me into your law and order cult. damn you woman!

  • RIO

    naw, just tell jen to forward you my info. heh heh ;^)

  • he looks hot. maybe i should join the gothamist personals..

  • He looks like John Singleton.

  • i think it would be funny if dreaminginrerun acutally read gothamist and commented. but only in a perfect world. only in hallewood.

  • RIO

    random aside. I'm not really into her music, but jeez, beyonce is looking like the hottest woman on the planet lately. behold...

    I guess I look asian/mixed, because that guy looks a lot like me. Funny, on the street people never seem to have any doubt that I'm a big scary black guy. Maybe I should don some of those hipster specs dude is wearing and try and blend in with the asian set. ;^)

  • He could be mixed, but I would think not. His other pictures doen't really look asian.

    I think that it was just a flukey thing, like how Pete Rojas sometimes looks a little like Jake Dobkin.

  • Jen

    Oh, okay, I didn't check his profile.

    "HEY! Not every shaved-head Asian-looking on my computer monitor male with glasses looks like the Dalai Lama."

  • his profile mentions nothing about being asian.

  • Jen

    Hey - W's presidency isn't over yet. We might be so lucky as to get a vomitous leader moment too. We got the pretzel moment. Those Bush men and their weak gastrointestinal reflexes.

  • I suppose it makes for good diplomacy to throw on a Thai jacket and look out of character. Sure beats going to Japan and throwing up on your host.

  • Jen

    Is the personals guy Asian? His eyes seem Asian. He might be mixed.
