Rudy in Leather and Lace
1 / 9
Of all the declared presidential candidates, none has been in costume more than Rudy Giuliani. This picture, representing Giuliani's early work, shows a man struggling to embrace his full aesthetic sensibility. As a U.S. attorney in 1986, Giuliani went "undercover" with Sen. Alfonse D'Amato (right) to show how easy it was to buy crack in New York. Wearing a Hell's Angels black leather vest with patches that read "Dirty Thirty" and "Filthy Few," the future mayor purchased two vials for $20. Apparently, New York crack dealers were sampling their own product. Giuliani's casual-Friday trousers and gold belt buckle make him look more like a man who wants to sell homeowners insurance than a drug addict. And the post-cataract-surgery glasses aren't very menacing, either.
