LOOKING LIKE PUFF BALLS AND PIMPS
THE ONLY THING I CAN THINK OF HERE is that these leaders of the free and unfree worlds have all just seen The Great Gatsby and Liberace right before being outfitted and coiffed for the casual chic segment of their G-8 extravaganza. Or perhaps it's summer gangsta style as in Psy Putin prefers Pank that's inspiring the gentleman's fancies. Keith Koffler blames this on Obama's overly-casual style but I dunno.
From this photo, I cannot tell whether President Obama is wearing a white suit or a pale pink/lavender one. I fear the latter. Either way, I have to agree with the headline introducing Benedict Brogan article at the Telegraph: These are world leaders dressed like (immature) bachelors after a stag party. He suggests just say no to tie avoidance!
One thing's for sure, they all look grim, like they're not having fun. Perhaps it's the rigors of non-stop saber rattling over champagne, cold asparagus and liver pate. Or maybe not one of them feels really manly dressed like those Ken doll outfits.
I know it's just me, but these men look incredibly silly in all that summer puffery. Maybe I've just been in Tennessee and Wyoming too long.
Whatever happened to manly summer khaki or denim with a twist of navy, gray with an occasional splash of Master's green? Or, unbeatable lightweight English summer tweeds?
How can these men take each other seriously when they talk about Syria, Benghazi, world banks and various other serious matters? Oh, that's right---they don't.
Carry on.
Tell me these are photoshopped! They cannot be real photos!
