We can see from these photographs released by her office that Claudette Abela Baldacchino, the Labour MEP who has been appointed chief of the organisation Nisa Laburisti, made it a point to dress up for carnival.

But two things are missing: a Zorro-type mask and a sack bearing the legend SWAG.

    You need to be a kind of burglar to escape from the ghetto (pigeon-hole) that the MLP set up for women.

    Dear God in heaven. Is Joseph Muscat wearing a velvet jacket over jeans?

  3. Nerd of Redhead says:

    Wear striped clothes if your size is 12.

    Don’t wear striped clothes if your size is 18.

    If you have to wear striped clothes, just wear one item of clothing preferably a camisole underneath a black jacket and with black trousers, not striped trousers.

    Basic Rules of Fashion which people in politics should follow.

    Is it just me, or does the model prisoner actually look like Joseph Muscat?

    I saw her at the airport a few weeks ago. The gate crew called her a number of times on the PA system, and she didn’t show up at the gate until the final call.

    She walked casually (from the cafeteria or smoking area, I don’t know), displaying no sense of hurry or embarrassment. She was wearing those hideous boots.

    She’s massively fat as well. her clothes don’t fit, and if they do, they don’t suit her body shape. There are many designs that would suit her, but she sticks with conventional stripes, monochrome even.

    The lady in yellow looks nice but yellow is not suitable for this time of year, and neither is that striped pyjama.

      I tend to disagree here. It’s spring, so it’s all the others dressed in black who are not suitably dressed.

      [Daphne – It’s not spring, it’s winter. Spring begins on the 21st, and even so. But I agree with you about the black – it’s horrid and nobody wears it anywhere else during the day. It has to be Malta, always 20 years behind the times.]

    It is just great to see her not frothing at the mouth, unlike her last performance in the EP.

  8. Grezz says:

    AND I see that Muscat has taken to carrying his podium around again. Pity we can’t see that new addition (a 6 foot+ high clear Perspex stand, with the latest PL slogan printed on it) in the photo above.

  9. Anthony says:

    Here’s another one who has most certainly lost it.

    A standing zebra crossing.

    Is there one human being within the PL top ranks who is within normal limits ?

  10. canon says:

    Not even John Dalli wore a striped suit when he was prisoner in Brussels.

  11. gorg says:

    Every road map has its zebra crossing.

  12. Banana Republic ... Again says:

    Maybe she heard that vertical stripes are slimming, but got the direction wrong.

  13. Nerd of Redhead says:

    Oh and boots are strictly NO when the size of the calves are not in proportion.

  14. tinnat says:

    And I thought it was a zebra doing a handstand.

  15. pirellu says:

    Ga liebsa ghall-Kordin.

    She might be getting comfortable in prison cloths just in case she is found guilty of messing with EU funds (airline tickets scandal).
