Well, fine, here we go with a government filled with so many fakes.

Joseph Muscat in the fifth photograph from the top is a frightening resemblance of Benito Mussolini’s propaganda poster in his hey-day before he was summarily executed by Italian partisans while trying to escape to Switzerland and his corpse (and Clara Petacci’s) hung by their feet from a lamp post in Milan.

In reply to Karl Flores.

There are different theories about the origin of left-over-right buttoning. What we do know is that by the time the convention was established, swords had long been discarded as gentlemen’s accessories.

And the jacket was rarely buttoned, a convention that still holds today with a three-piece suit. In any case that’s what vents are for. With the earlier 17th century habit de cour, with a long waistcoat, the sword was still carried on a bandolier or sash.

The upshot of it all is that Kenneth’s invitees at the Masque of the Pink Death had not one stitch of historically accurate clothing among them.

In reply to Jozef. There's no comparison between the models either. But that would be an attakk fahxi, so I shall desist.

I wonder if the handbag Michelle Muscat is carrying may be the famous most expensive gift?

[Daphne – Yes, actually, Kevin, I do know quite a lot about it. Doesn’t Sharon? It’s a useful skill. Or maybe you sew on your own buttons.]

The saying is that the men’s jackets were meant to have buttons, the way they are, since the times when they used their swords to fight. With the jacked closed the way it is meant to be, the fighters swords wouldn’t be obstructed by the edges of the jacket, where one side overlaps the other, when pulled out of their pouch held on the left side.
