Don’t cry for Michelle, Argentina

Look at Eva Peron’s outfit at the Labour Party’s fundraising marathon. Who in heaven’s name dreamt up that completely inappropriate 1950s veiled hat combo?
And her husband is wearing INDOORS one of those Paceville-on-Christmas-Eve black coats. At least he hasn’t got his hands in his pockets as he did when emerging in such a non-statesmanlike fashion from parliament after the defeat of the budget.

Tixba’ taghmel show bil-hwejjeg imma mbghad toqghod tahsibha biex issajjar is-soppa tal-armla ghax tqum il-flus illum, qalet.
Michelle was just inciting hatred between classes. She was saying how the young Labour university students were achievers as opposed to the rich kids who had the backing of their families, or something in that vein.
This while her husband has been saying he will unite the country, you know, because we’ve been having a civil war.
Alla maghna, ghoxrin punt ohra.
At the height of Mintoff’s dictorship, you would be hard pressed to find a banker or teacher who was a Labourite (except for the messengers and cleaners who were almost exclusively ALL so). Because, despite all the hot air about equality, Mintoff and Karmenu didn’t trust their flock to remain faithful to them and their party if they got a proper education and so offered it to the fewest possible.
And now, thanks to the PN opening up education to just about anyone who can scrape a few exams together, the tables have turned. These institutions are jam-packed with Laburisti who owe their success purely and solely to the Nationalist Party and who would only have made it to the messagier level had their adored party continued in office.
Well, no one said that life was fair.
OMG – mela hasbitha sejra Parigi?
She looks ridiculous.
Was the PM in Paris yesterday?
And now Renato and Mary Spiteri are on for the grand finale.
Same ruddy old singers, let alone politicians. Bidu gdid, my left elbow.
I heard her say in their fundraising activity on TV tonight that that the Labour party had introduced the stipends for students.
This is not true. The stipends were introduced by a Nationalist government. Before the 1996 elections, the MLP had promised that they would not remove the stipends. When they were elected, the first thing that they did was to remove them. Students instead had to make a loan.
She also said that they wanted young people who were high achievers in the PL. This reminded me of Franco Debono. Maybe he should contest the elections with the PL.
In the absence of indoor heating in Malta, I would wear a coat everywhere, even in bed, whereas I rarely wear one in London.
Is she wearing a hat?
My my, just look at this ‘Mafjuż’ walking with his right hand in his coat pocket: https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/375446_445371012192457_1045003846_n.jpg. But, ever the gentleman, The Hon. PM leaves no doubt as to which hand is holding the gun, if that’s any consolation for those in his vicinity.
[Daphne – He’s not coming out of parliament after the defeat of the budget in the full glare of the nation’s television cameras, you idiot. It’s perfectly permissible to put your hands in your pockets when strolling along casually in the street. You just don’t do it when walking out of parliament backed by your delegation, to face the television cameras, after a vote which means the end of the government. For God’s sake, do these things really have to be explained?]
Because of course we have seen some fine manners displayed by Maltese politicians in front of television cameras, irrespective of the situation. Do I need to give examples?
(PS. “You just don’t do it when walking out of parliament backed by your delegation, to face the television cameras, after a vote which means the end of the government.” Ar’hemm, waqa’ l-Gvern Amerikan ħej.)
[Daphne – Ah, I see. With that sort of reasoning, I’m assuming that you never bother being polite to the ‘little people’ because they’re not important. You’d be rude to the grocer and save your manners for Barack Obama.]
Inverted snobbery a’ la Alternattiva. Losers.
I tried sending you a better picture of her tibdila but the system kept telling me that I was posting too fast…Maybe it was the excitement of setting my eyes on such a fashionista!
Here you go:

Did Michelle steal that outfit off a monk?
Well done, Michelle.
She was at the Casa Rosada (sort of) after all.
Memories of Dior, Balmain and Rochas come to mind.
You can see from the pic that, as that bloated toad says, ‘Kulhadd mifni bl-ghaks u bil-guh’.
Dik kutra?
I’m a sucker for vintage – can’t help you out on this one Daphne :)
Me too, but I make sure I can carry it off.
In this case, she most certainly cannot.
And the coat is anything but vintage. Plus you need the body to carry it off. Plus a bunch of other stuff which these people will never understand because they’ve judged themselves.
Then there’s the Mary Spiteri redwood dye. What is it with Maltese women? Why? For the love of god, why?
That should be “never judged” of course.
She’s wearing a Jackie Kennedy toque style hat. Very 1950s and 1960s vintage fashion. Cape, ring, net with hat and all.
1950’s ->1960’s -> Oh well, we’ll get a 1970’s vintage style primeminister one day, but hopefully, not too soon. I’m not ready to go back in time, not even clothes-wise.
She wore the camel, (at least looks like it) to Jum il-Helsien two years ago.
Could be an Armani.
On second thoughts, seeing the photo posted by Miss O’Brien, it’s more likely Max Mara.
Armani hasn’t been defining the cut using stitching for years now. He laser cuts the fabrics, sealing the weave. It allows him to experiment with detail around the cuffs and collars, doing away with fodere.
Sacrilege. Lasers will never touch Savile Row, not unless there’s a fricking extraterrestrial invasion.
Il-hwejjeg ta’ Michelle jixirqulha ghax min hu helu anki xkora tixraqlu. Fuq il-politici, ikunu min ikunu, nippreferi nfittex is-sustanza fi kliemhom milli libsux dak li jixraq ghall-okkazjonijiet.
I just love his profile shot, I bet he did not vet that pic for release
Is this Constructive Criticism Daphne Caruana Galizia? Is this a joke or what,criticising the relatives of politicians?Even if Gonzi’s wife was to wear a bucket as a hat,who cares?
Pls don’t bring up the excuse that is just for s**t and giggles.Relatives of politicians should never be brought up as a way to judge the politician unless the relative is involved in a scandal?
This is just hatred and frustration that the network of connections you made with powerful people is slowly crumbling.Please grow up and btw Happy Christmas :D
[Daphne – Michelle Muscat is not a politician’s relative. She is the leader of the Opposition’s wife, and she has deliberately and determinedly chosen to take a very active role in politics and to make it clear that she and her husband come as a political package. If you have any doubt that she will be as involved in the government as she is in the Opposition, then you are wrong. Because of this, she is open to both scrutiny and, because of her social-climbing pushiness and unhappy sartorial choices, mockery.]
