And for those of you who think that posture doesn’t matter, that it’s a triviality and a side issue, just compare and contrast these two photographs.

True, the prime minister isn’t helped by his figure, but that’s just the general aesthetics. In reality, a bad figure is not an impediment to good carriage, and good carriage can actually make the world of a difference to a bad figure.

Mrs Muscat is streets ahead of her husband in this, and has clearly received training though she still looks too careful and forced, as though she’s always conscious of having to remember how to hold herself. But her husband is beginning to look increasingly lumpen at her side.

    What is it with footballers’ wives and orange? It’s either all over their face or all over their dresses.

    Traffic cone.

    And for Halloween, we’re going to have some vintage orange pumpkins.

    SUMO is the popular cry.

    FLOTROM and PMOTROM.

    Too snazzy. Vintage orange dress with matching hat. Was her handbag vintage orange too? The prime minister should have rounded things off with a vintage orange bowtie.

    Looks like he slept in those trousers.

    Some polka dots would have been nice, and then it would have been Minnie Mouse’s favourite minaudiere.

    And the “vintage orange’ jarred terribly with the red carpet, too.

    I feel morbidly upset when I see that Vintage Orange, it reminds me of the Guantanamo prisoners and the ISIS beheaded victims.

    That choice of colour was insensitive to what’s happening in the rest of the world.

    The British meaning of the adjective dinky is attractively small and neat, whilst for the Americans, it means disappointingly small and insignificant; take your pick.

    With the same reasoning we should be told what the husband of President Coleiro Preca was wearing.

  14. Lomax says:

    For some reason, Michelle Muscat always reminds of Eva Peron.

    Being short and stocky is no barrier to straight-backed bearing:

    His father could still stand like that when he was old and dying of cancer.

    He can’t help keeping his feet apart. Either that or he risks toppling over.

    Why does she insist on wearing homemade outfits. Hasn’t she discovered the beauty of internet shopping? Mind you, I put it down to bad taste and lack of class, which we all know no amount of money can buy.

    Did her mother’s neighbour, who lives in the same alley, make that dress and hat?
