I remember listening to the radio and the host was making fun of Fidel Castro, how he always wears his military fatigues. The revolution is over, he quipped. Let's get that man in some Armani suits. I agree. But would Fidel be Fidel without his ever present green uniform?
Then I started thinking, have there ever been any stylish revolutionaries? Che Guevara, Gandhi, Ayatollah Ruhollah, Osama Bin Laden?
Hmm, I'm noticing a theme! I see beards are in! And military jackets! Yes, and draping fabrics, oh yes, revolutionary-chic!
The reason I bring it up is because the Marxist seems to be determined to wear badly fitting clothes, unmatched, threadbare polos and unkempt hair. Most recently, he has decided to grow a mustache. Perhaps I set back the revolution a couple of years by insisting on cutting his hair, plucking his eyebrows and wearing nice clothes. Sorrys.
