President Bush and Vladimir Putin: Bear a passing resemblance to Harry Potter's masters at Hogwarts School

They may be among the most powerful men in the world, but George Bush and Vladimir Putin looked more like a couple of Harry Potter's masters at Hogwarts school.

The American and Russian presidents were wearing traditional silk Vietnamese robes to mark the end of the annual Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in Hanoi, along with the leaders of 19 other countries.

It has become the custom to try on the host country's traditional costume.

Before wars and communist revolution in Viet- nam, the ao dai was a popular unisex item, most elegant on slender women who were said to 'reveal everything yet show nothing' beneath the figure-hugging tunic.

Now it is making a comeback but is used mainly for wedding dresses and girls' school uniforms....

6. A guy likes to feel pretty for a date with a leader from another country.
Laura is jealous because it looks better on George than on her.

11. They both look silly and uncomfortable
No one is insulting the clothing, just the wearers.
