It’s a pity Libya has a UN mandated no-fly zone. This fashionable chap’s place is on the runway…

Not much scope there for a Victoria’s Secret collection, but by golly you’re right on the lanky vs. stocky war.

The prize for Most Stylish Rebel goes to this dashing chap:

Consider the source first.

Every so often Valerie Borg tries (and fails) a come-back of sorts, she being the dashing and brilliant type!

Is short and overweight making a comeback?

Daphne, you’re the fashion expert here. Please do tell us. I may have to start piling on the pounds.

[Daphne – The short answer is No. The longer answer is that Joseph Muscat has the stereotypical Maltese male figure: stocky torso on disproportionately short legs, with very short arms. Look around you, and you’ll see that this is the norm. Interestingly, a friend remarked over lunch the other day that from what she can detect via the television, the Libyans in Tripoli are very much the same shape and size as the Maltese, but then completely different in physique to the rebels from Benghazi, who are lean and long-limbed and because of that somehow manage to look stylish even in the thick of battle and wearing scrappy clothes. “It looks like we share a gene pool with the people of Tripoli but not with those of Benghazi,” she said. I got what she meant, because I had thought the other day that the odds are on the fall/winter fashion for men on the New York/Paris/London/Milan catwalks being inspired by ‘the Benghazi rebel’ look.]

She is not a prostitute. She is not a drunk or a drug addict.

She is a lawyer doing a postgrad degree.

She was the one who had the guts to tell the tale.

The tale that the so-called human beings we were all happily associating ourselves with for the sake of a few easy blood-stained dinars are scum.

Pure unadulterated scum. The scum of the earth.
