APEC = Attire Planned Extra Carefully

This year's APEC summit is in Obama's home state, Hawaii. You've seen the usual photo-op pictures on television and in the print media. But did you see these?...







The pics were provided by the "President's Blog, White House". Here's the link:

* The website above is a parody of the real White House website. It says so, at the top: "Parody of Whitehouse.gov".
* The pics are of course fakes, ie doctored as part of the spoof.
* The peg for creating this spoof is Obama's decision to do away with the traditional shots of Apec leaders dressed in the host venue's "national costume" (which, since it is Hawaii this year, would have them dressed in anything from grass skirts to surfing gear?).
* Pictures of past years' APEC fancy dress-up in other venues are found on this spoof website. Enjoy!
