One imagines that a dictator Rafael Leonidas Trujillo, cruel and authoritarian, just cared about his appearance, but in truth, he broke with the mold.
This satrap, which filled with blood and mourning for 31 years to the Dominican Republic, is perhaps the first version of the "metrosexual" in the country.
Yes No wonder: his granddaughter Aida Trujillo that he enjoyed standing in front of a mirror to achieve your best look: are arranged from toenails to hair, that although many do not know, they are painted in this time! According
Angelita Trujillo tells in his controversial book "Trujillo, my father in my memoirs" the executed dictator ordered the same thing was assumed, with a sitting room next to his room he used as a barber. He dyed his mustache, "he recalls.
Likewise, in the book "Trujillo closely," says Mario Read Vittini Generalissimo life always looked "good job" suitable to the occasion.
Moreover, Trujillo says Read Vittini mastered the art of cosmetics from early and considered an important political factor, to the point that was made up as part of a morning ritual. The writer says that the leader had a makeup artist, but does not mention his name.
Image. Following Read Vittini and his book "Trujillo closely," The historian says that "The Boss" was well aware of the need for a leader to appear always fresh, lush, active and healthy. Never allowed a sign of weakness to appear in public without being fully fixed. People did not know and was surprised to see it. Many said "Did you see that colorcito and how strong it keeps the Boss?". Cosmetics
wearing. Rafael Leonidas Trujillo used a dense base of the people called "pancake", which removes the corners of her mouth and she put the rest of makeup. According to researcher Mario
Read Vittini, the tricks of the "Benefactor de la Patria" went beyond what could be expected at that time: France had at least one lotion that redden the skin and kept him on the mulatto color.
Trujillo was groomed from childhood. I was addicted to the bathroom, punctilious in appearance and extremely demanding on the required dress and the same people around him. According to José Almoina
much in his book "A satrapy in the Caribbean," Trujillo was a grotesque narcissist who liked to bathe and walk naked in front of his sycophants.
On this subject, most historians agree. Proof of this is E. Germain Ornes when in his book "Trujillo, a small Caesar Caribbean ", who agrees with Read Vittini noting that from an early age was noted for its pristine image and concern for personal hygiene, especially teeth.
The obsession with beauty and health of the Head also drew the attention of the fine pen of the late caudillo Joaquin Balaguer, who in his book "The word chains", says: "Personal hygiene, visible in the perfectly clean uniform, grated it in the exaggeration. " He also emphasizes that his boots shone always cleaning.
Dr. Marcio Veloz Maggiolo, in his novel, "Flesh and Bone", tells that "Generalissimo" had neat reputation, say those who knew him. "The toothbrush and the head were like twins: eating and brushing, drank and brushed his teeth and even after making love he wiped his mouth," says Maggiolo. It also said that Trujillo had more of a handkerchief in his pocket, every time I waved and kissed his cheeks, he spent his handkerchief.
One of his biographers, Abelardo R. Nanita, Trujillo said that could be the envy of a prince, and that in each of its 12 residences had the best suits made by the best tailors in New York, London and Paris. According to his granddaughter
Aida Trujillo "in the subject of aesthetics, it was very neat, clean, but not spend hours in the bathroom primping, as some men. I also recall well, the fresh scent of his cologne, "he says.
50 years later. Today the theme of beauty in men is accepted and the truth is that despite this, after the execution of Trujillo we have not heard that any president has beauty rituals or addiction for fashion, but everyone remembers Balaguer, for example, his famous hat, and President Leonel Fernandez has never been famous precisely for its "look" quite the contrary, he criticized his style "square" dress. In contrast, Hipolito Mejia chacabanas imposed its men and women during his reign.
Women of the policy did have marked a personal style that is the case of Milagros Ortiz Bosch, using chacabanas, to below the knees. Testimony

"smelled clean"
Yes, my grandfather was extremely neat, so when he was dressed when he was military and civilian. He was very self demanding this and in other ways and never wore clothes that were not completely clean and well ironed. His shoes had to be consistent with the neatness of his attire. Her favorite perfume was the colony Imperial Guerlain. I never saw him disheveled and unshaven. When her grandchildren were at home, arrived, he went, without being seen, to the bathroom, bathed and went out with a swimsuit, the kind that look like shorts, beige, or cream, and slippers. I remember vividly that gave off a clean scent. Even when I went to the field, he was dressed properly, but simpler. My opinion is that he was a man with a size and a very special personality. That is not learned, but you're born with it. My father, Ramfis, inherited it from him.
Album The Golden Book realizes Fair Peace and Brotherhood of the Free World, published in 1956, shows the face of Rafael Leonidas Trujillo makeup and well groomed. First highlight your eyebrows combed and clean. His eyes appear to have mask and a black pen enhances its honey-colored eyes.
