Yes, Mrs Mizzi. We’ll vote for you because of your nice aviators.

It’s hard to avoid a sigh of exasperation. Sixty going on 13. What a mistake the incoming Nationalist government made in 1998 in keeping her on as Sea Malta chairman when Labour premier Alfred Sant had only slotted her into the role in 1996 because he’d been banging on about promoting women and needed a bit of tokenism. All Mrs Mizzi had ever done was run a toy shop.

And now look. Is it early onset senile dementia, or an exacerbation of her natural silliness and self-satisfaction provoked by panic at the arrival of old age and the bus pass, coupled with the fear that she might not be returned to Brussels by the electorate?

The clothes, behaviour and general demeanour that Mrs Mizzi got away with when younger are now looking bats at 60.

    And to make the situation sadder still, the reflection in the lens of her aviators shows it’s a selfie taken with her iPad. Tal-biki.

    The men-in-black want their sunglasses back.

    Who is she trying to kid?

    How about this for style?

    It’s as if a burnt-out Robin (of Batman fame) had a day out with the Frisian girl.

    When is she going to learn to remove her glasses when taking photos of herself with her iPad?

    Reminds me a bit of Iron Maiden’s mascot, Eddie; the impression of deep eye sockets compounded by wrinkled cheeks, skin pallor, and letter-box lips.

    I suppose it’s all that dazzling ‘Energija Pozittiva’. Blinding, to be sure.

  8. P Bonnici says:

    She behaves like a teenage girl, about time she grew up and matured. She looks so insecure.

  9. Peppa Pig says:

    If Marlene Mizzi must insist on photoshopping every picture which goes out, then she should avoid appearing on television talk-shows under studio lighting which exposes all the wrinkles, age spots, crepey hands and turkey neck.

    Nothing wrong with growing old, but please, do it gracefully.

    Marlene Mizzi must be a great fan of General McArthur.
