The rise of fashion in North Korea

A group of young women pose for a photo in Pyongyang. Notice the fake Prada and Dior handbags
– probably imported into North Korea via China

P!

Chia Chub, aka Kim Jong-un, visits Pyongyang nursing home on Aug. 2, 2015. In light of recent news that some N. Korean women from ruling elite are using crystal meth for dieting, perhaps the leader and the fat guy on the right in the picture also need to use some meth to slim down.

One or 2 of the girls ain’t bad ...but I must say Japanese girls blow Korean girls outta the water . ^_^

I don’t know Pravda from Door but I see at least 3 of those ladies are not wearing their party pins prominently. One is hidden from view but that’s her burden, not mine. Accordingly I have issued 4 warrants. Pity. They were cute.

[JoeDetweiler]

OK, I’m curious. How many Freepers would know that those are Prada and Dior handbags, real or fake?

To be honest, I didn’t know Prada and Dior made handbags.

[TigerLikesRooster]

Good job. For your service, the state will generously provide you with extra 5 pound of pork for this month. Now hail Kim Jong-un five times.:-)

[JoeDetweiler]

On second thought, maybe I shouldn’t be so smug. I know that Nike makes tennis shoes, and I can recognize them.

So, different strokes for different folks, I guess....

Women know every minute detail of these things: color, shape, curve, and size of accessories on the surface, to name a few. You would be surprised.

What normal guy would, unless he is in the field or industry.

Japanese ichiban !

Keep in mind that this is NORTH Korea.

Watching the LPGA tournaments reveals there are some really great looking South Korean women! (Some are two-baggers, but most are not)

“What normal guy would....”

It’s just that this has got me thinking...and it hurts a little ;-)

I mean, these are supposed to be “Status Symbols.” But status symbols are worthless unless other people recognize them for what they are.

So now I have this picture in my head...a party or get-together where all the men are just having a good time, but the women are waging a ruthless Status War...but also being very careful not to let the men know what’s going on.

Sort of like everyday life, I guess ;-)

[TigerLikesRooster]

AV gals?

[ETL]

there are some really great looking South Korean women!

A lot more than "some".

[sushiman]

Oh , I know there are lots of gorgeous South Korean women , just saying that IMHO the Japanese are superior .

[knarf]

I’m partial to Filipina’s (because my Filipina wife will kill me if I don’t say that) ... but seriously ... Asian women have a beauty all their own and though I can tell a Chinese from a Japanese fron a Filipina, (Thais are a little more difficult, they look like all of ‘em) ... THIS photo found the ugliest of NORKS .... and if this is representative ....

[sushiman]

Perhaps . LOL . Even the Japanese AV girls blow away the AMericans .

a ruthless Status War

In what appears to be harmless exchange of words, an word can contain a barb even an ice pick. Men are better off pretending not to notice, even if they do.

I am almost ready to head on over to the People’s Republic right now after viewing that.
