Meglo-Chic
Due to the overwhelming positive response to my tribute to The Man Bag, you’ve successfully fooled me into thinking that I know something about fashion. And just like everyone else who believes they have their finger on the pulse of style, I’m going to prove it to you by shoving fashion tips down your throat.
Today, I’m going to help you look Meglo-Chic. Let’s face it, the megalomaniac look is in. “We’re here, we cause fear, get used to it!” These bad-ass, terrorist supporting world leaders all must truly be hot under the collar, because all of them are rocking the “no-tie” look. 
Check out Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. He may be backwards when it comes to human rights, but the man sure is fashion forward. Even when addressing the United Nations, this meglosexual chooses style over a more traditional formal look.
But Ahmablah-blah-blah is not the only nuclear hungry maniac with an eye towards a hip, relaxed look. One only must look east towards North Korea to find another nut job who can’t blame his insanity on a tie cutting off the circulation to his brain. 
Kim Jong-Il is always looking relaxed with his open collar look. While the neck-tie industry is really struggling in North Korea, the market for ugly green shirts has never been better.
Even the late mass murdering megalomaniac from Iraq spent the last few years of his life minus the tie. Saddam Hussein, who in his earlier days in power was never caught without the popular neck accessory, lived out his final years in the extreme comfort and freedom of a Meglo-Chic lifestyle. This is, of course, until he was ultimately fitted
for the tightest tie of them all.

You can add Idi, Fidel, Mao, Pol, Charles (Windsor or deGaulle, you pick). Cripes, despot or not, once your on top of the heap you can wear what you want.

Wow, Nanuk, you sure know your dictator fashion. Impressive!

wait wait wait… I don’t wear a tie.. does that mean I am a meglomaniac? A despot?
In my mind…maybe.. BWAHAHAHAHAHA

Holy shit – I will wear my tie now instead of using it to tie up hydraulic hoses and other things a tie works really good for.
I’m not a megolegomaniac

What does it mean if you wear a scarf?
January 31st, 2007 at 4:44 am
What Meglo-Chic trend will you be setting Doc?

I hate ties and I have visions of grandeur. On the other hand, I’ve never wanted to torture anybody except Carrot Top. I guess I’m not a despot.

Thank you for adding the term “Meglosexual” to my vocabulary.
And now, thanks to your impeccable fashion sense, I have a handy wardrobe guide for my soon-to-be midlife crisis.

I wonder if dictator fashion has it’s own magazine. Like cosmo, only different. Hey, if you ever get bored with just blogging and doing radio, you can start one.

Bond: Yes.
Ryan: Yes you are.
Lex: Weird
Tisha: Sandals and socks.
Slagger: Isn’t Carrot Top tortured enough? Was it you who burned off his eye brows?
Janna: You’re welcome.
ChooChoo: I think you’re on to something. I better hurry and get Fidel for the cover. He has about a week or two left.

You have me a bit worried. California’s Governator has been going tieless in recent news photos. Is this an early indicator of his plans? Great post.

I’d keep my eyes open if I were living in The Republic of California.
Good comment, Dave.

Great observations. The Scary part is these dictators are just following the lead already sent by most business in the US today.

January 31st, 2007 at 7:41 pm
I’m always there, Tisha. I haven’t missed a word you ever wrote. Sometimes I just have nothing to contribute to the conversation.
January 31st, 2007 at 7:44 pm
gimme a break! even “shalom” would do!
January 31st, 2007 at 9:49 pm
Oh and let us not forget all the African and South American junta, banana republic, heads of state.
Seersucker dictator fashion will never go out of style!

One only must look east towards North Korea to find another nut job who can’t blame his insanity on a tie cutting off the circulation to his brain.
So does this mean George Bush can blame his tie?

Dearest Doc:
The thought of you kneeling before Bond scares me…
*whimpers and slinks to the corner, twisting my hair, rocking back and forth and singing ‘The Lumberjack Song’*
Now, should you kneel before me, I’ll make your bow tie curl.
February 1st, 2007 at 4:16 am
Dr. Blogstein… I will warn you now… never kneel in front of a foreigner…especially one who sings “lumberjack” songs to themselves… I am the true lord of the blog…
February 1st, 2007 at 4:22 am
Dearest Doc:

Dearest Doc:
