T o be very in is a slang expression that means to be very fashionable. If something is out, it means it is no longer fashionable. A kook is a slang word for a crazy person. Kim Jong Un's hairstyle looks similar to the very in hairstyle of many young people in Hong Kong. The hair on both sides of the head is shaved off. But his dead father, Kim Jong Il, had a similar hairstyle even though he didn't have much hair left when he got older. And Kim Jong Il was certainly not a fashion-conscious leader. Many people considered him a kook instead.
So it seems Kim Jong Un is not really very fashion-conscious. He just copied his father's hairstyle. By coincidence, the hairstyle looks like the very in hairstyle of many young people today. I think legislative councillor Longhair Leung Kwok-hung's hairstyle is not in at all. Long hair is out nowadays. Short hair is very in. It is time for Longhair to be fashion-conscious. He should cut his hair very short and shave off the hair on both sides of his head to look like the hairstyle of Kim Jong Un. It will make him look younger and more fashionable. I think all the men in the Legislative Council should follow the hairstyle of Kim Jong Un. But not all of them can do it because some legislative councillors are bald or have very little hair.

北韓領袖金正恩的髮型實在令我着迷(fascinates)。我想不通他到底是個很看重潮流(fashion-conscious)而梳個時髦(very in)髮型的領袖,抑或只是個瘋子(kook)。有些美國電視評論員笑他是個梳着搞笑髮型的娃娃臉(baby-faced)領袖。Baby-faced的人就是臉蛋圓圓的,稚氣未除。若有些事物fascinates你,即是它很吸引你注意或你對它很有興趣。To be fashion-conscious即是關注潮流又打扮入時。香港人都是時尚潮人(fashion-conscious)。
Very in是時髦的俗語說法,若某事已out,即是指它過時了。Kook是瘋子的俗語。金正恩的髮型跟許多香港年輕人的時髦(very in)髮型很類似,剃掉了頭兩邊的頭髮。但他的亡父金正日,髮型也很近似,即使他年老以後已鬢髮漸疏。而金正日肯定不是一個看重潮流(fashion-conscious)的領袖。很多人都認為他是個瘋子(kook)。
如此看來,金正恩恐怕不是甚麼潮(fashion-conscious)人了吧,他不過是在抄襲老父的髮型。但巧合地,這個髮型卻與今天許多年輕人的至潮(very in)髮型相似。我看,立法會議員長毛梁國雄的髮型就不夠潮(in)了,甚至可說是過時(out)。蓄短髮才算入時(very in)。長毛也是時候要打扮入時(fashion-conscious)了,他應該把長髮剪掉,將頭兩邊的髮剃掉,與金正恩的髮型看齊。這就能令他看來更年輕和更時髦。我認為,所有立法會的男人都應該跟隨金正恩的髮型。但不是所有人也做得到,因為有些立法會議員已經禿頭或鬢髮稀疏。mickchug@gmail.com
