I was in Valletta when this picture was taken and I also saw the two girls who took the picture as Mama Michelle noticed them, glared and stomped off with her backside wobbling leaving the young girls in fits of laughter.

Really? Koolaid tends to play tricks with my memory.

But I could still sue. Those billboards promised a future made up of coloured hoodies, eternal sunshine and throngs of hot chicks, gagging for it.

Where are they? And where are the hoodies, for God’s sake?

In reply to Bonkers.

The breadth at the waterline would be of no interest to the nation, were it not for those “celeb” photoshoots and Style front covers (I hide a dog-eared copy in the attic, along with a can of cider).

I think I’ll sue Labour for false advertising. I voted for a waif, not this.

[Daphne – That photoshoot came after you voted, H. P.]

In reply to A. if it's fake, it's even worse. That means "the wife of the prime minister" endorses the theft of intellectual property, illicit trade by criminal networks, and the exploitation of workers and street traders ensnared in the counterfeit industry.

In reply to Bonkers.

It’s not women in the Mediterranean. Many parts of coastal Spain defy this assumption. I have no clue, but boy am I envious.

[Daphne – They’re starving themselves. The scenario wasn’t like that a generation ago, just as it wasn’t like that in Malta. Spain was a land of big mamas. I was thought of as being freakishly skinny before the fashion for self-starvation set in. It was so unfashionable and uncommon for a woman to be skinny in Malta that the Labour Party media actually used to insult me about it and depict me as a skeleton or bag of bones.

By today’s standards, I was a normal size, the difference being that I ate like a horse and no effort was involved. But back then, I stood out and people commented on it.

The advantage many Spanish women have is that they have a tiny frame, just as so many Maltese women do (including me, despite my height). While this means that when they eat nothing they shrink right down, it also means that they can put on an extraordinary amount of weight without actually becoming completely rotund. Mrs Muscat is unfortunate because her frame is quite heavy even without the weight, and she really does try, apparently.

Even those who, unusually, are genetically predisposed to be be skinny despite eating carelessly, like me, don’t stay that way after 40 or so, and must work at it. I don’t have that kind of dedication to such a pointless cause. So imagine the levels of starvation and extreme exercise that women over 40, who do not have those naturally skinny genes, must be putting themselves through.]

In reply to Maria. Burberry is so yesterday. The only persons wearing Burberry these days are football hooligans.

In reply to Jozef. This affaire will just not go away by itself. It will only go when Manuel Mallia and his entire secretariat, the prime minister's communications man and the Police Commissioner resign or are made to go. Christmas will not be a distraction.
