If there is a competition for naffest member of the European Parliament, our very own Marlene Mizzi is going to be neck and neck with the worst of them. I mean, who does this sort of thing? That’s right: Mrs Mizzi.

She will have competition if Natius joins the race.
2013-2018: the Reign of Chavs
And the reflection in the lenses indicate that she took her own photo. Not just naff but also pathetic.
A great Socialist hero. Meanwhile we’re all wearing nuccali tal-Monti. Do the socialists who vote for them not recognise the hypocrisy?
Glasshole.
What a pathetic woman – as they say in Maltese “il-vera fanfru u kiesha”.
And her taste in fashion is absolutely awful.
On a different note, welcome back, Daphne – I hope that you enjoyed your well-deserved break.
She needs a large pair of sunglasses to protect her eyes from Joseph’s brilliance.
The Devil wears Prada.
What is this I sense Daphne? Could it be jealousy?
So be it. Let her enjoy her sunglasses. What difference does it really make to you? I’m pretty sure you’re not walking around with second hand clothing or with off the rack type of clothes. So do us a favour if you have nothing decent to blog about then just don’t post anything and it might actually save your face in future.
[Daphne – Mrs Mizzi and I come from completely different socio-cultural backgrounds, so no, it isn’t jealousy. It’s mockery tinged with amazement that a 60-year-old politician can behave like a teenager from the sticks. Status symbols – or rather, what they perceive to be status symbols – are for individuals who need to build their own status. Others can wear a pair of Mango sunglasses and old shorts because their sense of self comes from other factors which make it materially inalienable. This is something which the savagely aspirational nouveaux of Malta find impossible to understand, but it is a fact. As a simple ratio for your elucidation, the older the family, the more rubbish the clothes; the older the money and status, ditto. Another tip: publishing a picture of your latest nouveaux acquisition is an absolute dead give-away of your socially and financially deprived origins.]
Actually in so far as I’m concerned, Mango revolutionized women’s fashion. It made smart and modern clothing affordable, closing the gap in the market between designer and at least in Malta tacky stretch jersey clothing.
However over the years, the quality of the fabrics used has deteriorated and they don’t do size 16 anymore. For me a feather in their and Esprit’s cap is the cut of their trousers. It is very difficult for a larger woman to find the right cut of trousers. So difficult that I am stuck with only three pairs of old Esprit shorts because I just can’t find a decent fit anywhere. I’ve tried other brands and their trousers and shorts all fit horribly with the exception of Primark joggers.
I think the pressure to buy branded goods for the brand’s sake has eased off and it is perfectly normal to mix and match designer, high street and charity shop finds.
[Daphne – Your last line: exactly. That’s why people like Marlene Mizzi are so very late-1980s and 25 years out of date. It happens to a lot of women – they get stuck, in terms of clothes, hair and make-up, in what they felt were their glory years. Mrs Mizzi’s clothes choices and attitude to clothes and brands are 100% late-1980s. She actually wouldn’t look out of place in a late-80s documentary.]
It’s a pity SANCH (Savagely Aspirational Nouveau Chav) does not make for a very inspiring acronym because you certainly nailed the description of the DNA propelling the prevailing rabble up the rungs of their perceived socially-correct ladder of choice – tooth, nail and Prada/Designer-du-jour.
The picture is titled “Lago di Como, August 2013”. Where is the lake?
So, if you want to show a picture of the lake, you don’t take a picture of yourself with no background at all.
Note to Marlene Mizzi: if you’re going to photograph yourself for Facebook, like a 13-year old would, lower your iPad so the reflection doesn’t show up in your new Prada glasses.
I thought it was a new design for HUD bifocals. As befits a modern, trendy, quasi-pensioner.
