What you call a dictator, I call a Halloween costume

In case anyone was curious as to who I was for Halloween: thanks to my flatmate Laurie, I was North Korean dictator Kim Jong Il. Sometimes, being a chubby Asian man growing out his hair has its privileges.

Maybe next year I’ll go as Frank Chu.

I had similar problems with getting ideas for Halloween costumes. Ended up going as my evil Devil twin in the end…. but if I’d known that all it took to be Kim Jong Il was a pair of sunglasses…

You should carry around a (fake) nuke. That would be awesome!

Well, it’s already awesome, so it would be awesomer.

Dear Great Leader,

That costume is awesome.

Though you like much more stylish than Kim Jong Il!

Does this mean you would have killed my Rastafarian butt over the weekend?

Where is my credit for the Frank Chu idea? ;)

And imagine Frank Chu at the Gingerbread House… So much fun!

You look nothing like Charles Kim (of OPM) as Kim Jong Il. (Not sayin’ that’s bad or good. Just sayin’.)

I agree with Eric in Seattle! You should carry around a (fake) nuke or WMD. XD

I enjoyed your piece … but … how would you enjoy reading a blog by a big, black, muslim, gay grandfather?
There’s no need for those descriptives in our society anymore. Build a bridge … knock down the wall, please.

As a Korean female whom MyHeritage named as a Kim Jong Il look-alike (ugh), this costume makes me friggin’ laugh my ass off. Nicely done. :)
