The most incredible thing about the way Gaddafi
dressed, it was this curious mix between Michael
Jackson and Saddam Hussein. Very peculiar, never
seen before (and up so far, never seen again).

...arrives at Bole International Airport, Addis
Ababa, Ethiopia, in January 2007 wearing a white
Dr. Evil jacket, the ubiquitous clip-on military
ribbons, and the very height in traveling chic, a
sheer peach bisht. The ribbons are interesting
because for years after the coup in which he took
power Gaddafi was only ever seen with a few rows
of decoration. Today, there are eightindicating a
score or more of awards.

On Gaddafis home ground, Sirte, where he was
born to a Bedouin family in the middle of W.W. II
1942he sports an outlandish chemise printed
with pictures ofwe assumeAfrican heroes. We
can only guess as to the significance of the shirt,
but there is no doubt why Qaddafi wore Cuban
heels for this seaside summit in August 2005,
because he inches above President Hosni Mubarak
of Egypt.

Colonel Muammar Gaddafi's cocktail ensemble at
the summit an embroidered kufi and an
extraordinary combination of patterns and
textures that seem to prompt U.S. president
Barack Obama to move rapidly out of frame.

signing the official guest book during the
December 2007 visit to the Palace of Versailles.
The Snoopy hat and leather bomber jacket raise
the questions: Where does this extraordinary
individual get the ideas for his wardrobe? Does he
have a team of designers back in Tripoli, working
up the hundreds of bizarre looks required of a
world leader on official business? What gave him
the idea that a fur trappers hat was right for this
moment in the home of the Bourbon dynasty?

Not much flair for Gaddafis meeting with
lawmakers from Frances lower house of
parliament during the December 2007 visit to the
Palace of Versailles. Cest magnifique!

This, astonishingly, is Gaddafis idea of
appropriate luncheonwear for a meeting with
Portuguese prime minister Antonio Guterres at
Cairos Sheraton Hotel, in April 2000.

Gaddafi rises from an ornate chair in the style of a
Ruritanian despot to salute a march-past of Libyas
armed forces in 1999. For this occasion he wears
no fewer than 16 different orders and decorations,
which look as if they were picked up at the Paris
flea market.

When the English writer and rake Jeffrey Bernard
asked the painter Francis Bacon who in the world
he would most like to bed, he replied, Id like to
fuck the pants off Colonel Gaddafi. Maybe this
1984 picture of the colonel in his prime explains
why.

Early Gaddafi, in the elegantly tailored tunic of a
military butcher, before he learned the fine art of
accessorizing with maps of Africa and photos of
dead people.
