President Bush in a pretty silk dress

What you’ve all been waiting for… United States President George W Bush in a silk ao dai.

Picture pops! Re-jiggered and in proportion.

Howdy to Ao Dai



“The colourful, elongated tunics of Vietnam’s traditional dress, the

Ao Dai, are worn with much grace by Vietnamese women and men – and

extreme unease by the US president George Bush. Donning the costume

over his suit for the obligatory “family photograph” alongside 20

other leaders of Asian and Pacific nations, Mr Bush grimaced

repeatedly and shifted from foot to foot, a portrait of embarrassment

in turquoise blue brocade with yellow trim. It was obvious he couldn’t

wait to get it off and sure enough, moments after the official

photographs were taken, he strode away, ripped it off and folded it

up, according to reports. His fellow leaders showed more restraint and

waited until they were out of sight.”
