Share and share alike: Michelle Muscat is now standing in for her NBF Elena Zammit Lewis

Published: July 20, 2013 at 11:50am

The Zammit Lewis and Muscat couples travel together, dine together and socialise together, and wherever Elena Zammit Lewis goes, she takes Michelle Muscat along with her to introduce her to as many people as possible (“Do you know Michelle Muscat?” “Have you met Michelle Muscat? She’s really sweet.”)

Now, in this utterly absurd photograph released by the Department of Information, it looks like the two-headed Hydra MichelleElena have taken to standing in for each other.

Shouldn’t it be Mrs Edward Zammit Lewis standing next to her husband as he cuts the ribbon on what appears to be a beauty clinic?

    Waste of good ribbon.

  2. Catherine says:

    Michelle hasn’t exactly got a man of her own, so, you know….

    Dik liebsa leggings? U le, patrifilju.

    How does the Department of Information come into it?

    [Daphne – The DOI issues photographs taken all official engagements, including opening beauty parlours.]

  5. Yanika says:

    I really can’t stand Michelle’s smile… it looks very suspicious and is not genuine at all.

  6. Kevin says:

    Is Mrs Muscat wearing a skirt or bermudas/three-quarter pants?

    [Daphne – To quote translations of police info in the press: she was wearing “a bermuda”.]

    • La Redoute says:

      Wasn’t there a famous encounter in Albert Town involving a Super One reporter and a woman wearing “a Bermuda”?

      That must have set off a trend.

  7. Jozef says:

    Elena Zammit Lewis has this habit of leaving half an X3 on top of the narrow pavements, blocking anyone with a pushchair, near to her husband’s office.

    Not to mention check the car’s offroad capabilities over traffic humps in narrow winding streets around Birkirkara with gusto and zing.

    Really feminist, liberal and progressive.

    Two ladies standing there holding the ribbon as if they were columns or bollards. The other two standing coyly in the background while the men do very important stuff.

    And isn’t this a private venture? Why should the parliamentary secretary for competitiveness and economic growth be involved at all? Isn’t it more appropriate for the owner of the business to cut the ribbon?

    It’s neither a public building nor a strategically important business for Malta. I don’t see why politicians should get involved.

      Hear, Hear!

      It’s pathetic that this involvement takes place at all, and ridiculous that leggings are referred to as bermudas.

      I can’t wait for September when at least 6 months can be deducted from this legislature which has been nothing but a gross display of ‘hamallagni.’

    She was wearing “a bermuda”.

    Some wear ‘it’, others fly there.

    Soon it will be ‘il-Bermuda taghna wkoll’

  10. bob-a-job says:

    I was 800 odd miles off on that one but I’m sure you all get the drift.

  11. Gahan says:

    One cuts a ribbon at the entrance not under the stairs(?).

    Mrs Zammit Lewis might be off camera making herself useful by holding the ribbon.

  12. gil says:

    Is the guy in grey wearing an open dress or a jacket?
