Let’s keep things simple: compare and contrast the hips, legs, upper torso and face, ladies. But especially the hips.
I wish to make myself clear. I am not criticising Mrs Michelle Muscat’s shape or form. It is normal, and I come from the school of thought that says women are best off being normal rather than starving themselves into misery or pining for a skeletal shape they were not born with.
Also, 40 is not 25 and I believe we should embrace that.
What I am talking about here is something else: that a bit of touching-up for a magazine feature is fine, but using so much Photoshop that your (Photoshopped) head now looks like it’s being worn by another woman’s body is not.
This is showy vanity and silliness of the worst order, especially when you are on public view all the time in a small island and people know what you actually do look like.

They’ve removed the mole and wrinkles from her forehead. Impressive.
Stretch vertical 110%, horizontal 75%. Easy.
Pity they couldn’t reduce her underbite.
Best comment EVER. *bows*
I just don’t get what they’re aiming for. Are they trying to get Maltese males to crack one off over Michelle Muscat?
You will, I am sure, excuse my frankness, but really.
You deserve 6 pints on me, Baxxter.
Hold on, six pints of what? Oh, beer. All right then.
It is the only way she can look half decent, as she doesn’t scrub up too well in real life.
Mrs Michelle Muscat is longing to be Twiggy. Or am I outdated?
[Daphne – Hopelessly so, I’m afraid, though Twiggy is still rather fabulous.]
Forget the wrinkles, the mole or shaving off the weight, the most fake thing about her is that smile. They should have left everything else and photoshopped that.
Perhaps the OPM employee, who herself has admitted she’s too busy to work, is receiving weight loss consultancy from one of the LP election star candidates?
Is she still on the OPM payroll?
Yes. She’s still on the directory.
Once a wannabe always a wannabe.
The fashion industry is so full of gay men that they inadvertently mould women into prepubescent boys.
The fresco in the background has a floating head. Surely, of all places to pose for a photo…. it’s creepy when you compare the smiles.
The worst part was her picture on the cover wearing a Bulgari diamond snake watch which, if she owns it, she shouldn’t be showing off like that.
And if she doesn’t own it, what the hell is the PM’s wife advertising a watch for? So not her place.
Pathetic and common and she must remember she ain’t no Carla Bruni, Photoshop and all.
[Daphne – Well, actually the thing to remember is that Carla Bruni was despised by French electors and her marriage to Sarkozy contributed in no small part to his unpopularity.]
Well she did “sponsor” or “patronise” (;-)) a Bulgari party.
My grandmother’s friend Blanche Mifsud who was married to my grandfather’s schoolmate Ugo must be tossing in her grave.
She owned the Villa Preziosi and would never have dreamt what would become of it.
Times change. Very often for the worse.
Sir Ugo was a man who died defending human rights. Though I doubt Michelle Muscat knows this part of history, they know it used to be a villa “ta xi hadd Nazzjonalist” and will do their best to ruin it as the president did with the infamous kitchen garden.
In her very funny book Bossypants, Tina Fey writes that Photoshop is just like make-up. Done well, it looks great but when overdone, the recipient looks like a crazy arsehole (her words).
Unfortuantely, most magazines do it badly.
She also says that the glossier the magazine, the worse the Photoshop job tends to be. They practically remove all human features. It’s almost as if they are disgusted that they actually have to feature a person wearing those nice clothes.
She claims that the best Photoshop job she ever got was for a feminist magazine called Bust. The magazine wanted to show her as if she was on her best day in the best light.
Photoshop was used to for small things like removing armpit stubble (something which can be achieved in real life without using Photoshop) but it wasn’t used to make her look like a completely different person, removing her width and other natural features.
She has that phony red hair that middle-aged Maltese women love so much.

Is she the new Mrs Barack Obama?
