Prince is the KING of fashionable fascists
I forget who said it (when in doubt, blame Diana Vreeland) but it’s true: fascists have the best uniforms. Imagine what they could do if they really let themselves go!
They could do this. From Pseudonymous (for obvious reasons) Middle Eastern Internet Artist Saint Hoax comes the ultimate recipe for a dictator.
The recipe for an iconic queen:
1- Flamboyant name
2- Fierce persona
3- Defining outfits
4- Personalized hairdo
5- A trademark feature
6- One hell of a PR teamI then realized that it takes that same exact effort to make a leader.
A rush of images containing Hitler’s mustache, Bin laden’s headgear, Obama’s campaigns, Saddam’s narcism crossed through my mind. It got me thinking that behind every “great” man, there’s a queen.Like drag queens, political/religious leaders are expected to entertain, perform and occasionally lip-sync a public speech.
But unlike drag queens, the fame hungry leaders don’t know when to take their costumes off.

A vast and beautiful improvement on them all. I have nominated you for a Versatile Blogger award, don’t know if it’s your thing but head over if you want to ‘pick it up’.
The ones of Kim Jong-in and Pope Francis kill me.
Thanks, Much appreciated. I haven’t done one of those blog award rounds in a few years, so I may check it out.
I didn’t even recognize Bush, but I guess that’s the point.
Turns out Henry Kissinger was wrong all this time.. Fabulous is the ultimate aphrodisiac!
Ha, best comment ever, Nick! But nobody, NOBODY wants to see Kissinger in drag.
