The same thing happened with Escobar in Medellin. Another personality cult, his gaudy likes set the Cartel culture.
He had a taste for women with super exaggerated butts and big lips. His generals and such started to copy his tastes, their wives and girlfriends started to get cut to a very specific look. They were politely known as "las monas" (the blondes).
When I first visited the tail end (pun intended) of these Medellin Cartel girls, then women in their 40s were still common, and a sad sight to see. Ruined faces and many dead now from implant induced illness.
great story!
stupidity eventually kills itself.
