Being evil never looked so good!

After Iranian President Ahmadinejad's casually dressed interview with Mike Wallace,  it's time to take a closer look The Axis of Evil(ly Hip Couture).   Some of these men are  hostile leaders of rogue nations, and others are just occasionally really angry with us.  But who inspires the fashion behind these evilly hip world leaders?  Catch Up Lady takes a closer look:

IRAN
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
The handsome President Ahmadinejad rocks his khaki "Ahmadi jacket" at the UN and state speeches, as well as during the aforementioned globally broadcast interview with Mike Wallace.
The jacket can also be spotted this fall on Brooks Brothers models worldwide, and can be yours for $59.99 (sale price).  "A classic spring jacket in cotton poplin. Short-waisted style is detailed with a button-down collar, zip front, darted back. Interior and exterior pockets. Dry clean. Imported."  Sounds like the perfect jacket for high-level state blogging. 

Venezuela
Hugo Chavez
Not many men can scream in front of thousands for minutes on end and command respect while wearing that  shockingly bright cherry red color.  In fact, besides Hugo Chavez, there is only one other man that comes to mind -  Red Sox Manager Terry Francona.

NORTH KOREA
Kim Jong Il
Jong Il's fashion was made famous by Team America: World Police, and his tracksuits, platform shoes and killer shades are just enough to distract GW Bush from North Korea's umpteenth nuclear missile test.   Jong Il takes his cues from fashionable late 90s music sensations, namely Backstreet Boy AJ McLean.   If the whole Communism thing doesn't work out, I think TIGI Bed Head might have a new spokesman.  "Pyongyang's back ALRIGHT!"

BOLIVIA
Evo Morales
Aspiring to join the ranks of the evil fashion elite, Chavez' unofficial protégé has rocked the  world by starting his own South American revolution...make that fashion revolution.
After sporting the same striped alpaca sweater for over two weeks on the campaign trail in 2005 "Evo wear" became wildly popular in Bolivia. Putting Chinese protocal to the ultimate test, he even wore the sweater on his state visit.  Hu's on first now boys?

VERDICT
Morales is the clear winner of this Evil Fashion Walk-Off  as President and Founder of the Axis of Evo.  Next week Billy Zane will be holding court as all four attempt to turn left, or further left in some cases.
