“Well, hello there, boys” – now things have gone WAY too far
I tend not to be bothered by these sorts of predilections, but I think I have to draw my own personal line at a male prime minister in lipstick.
It’s bad enough that we had one in a wig. At least there is nothing gender-bender about men in wigs; they’re just weird in a different way.
This photograph is published in Illum, which is not an anti-government newspaper or anything controlled by or favouring the Nationalist Party. Nor is it a satirical journal. Illum is the Maltese newspaper in Saviour Balzan’s stable – the sister paper to Malta Today.
The prime minister is clearly wearing my old lilac-pink lipstick in that photograph. I’ve been looking for it for yonks and wondered whether I’d thrown it away by mistake.
How did he get hold of it?
Either that, or ‘Shasha tal-Make-up’, who does his wife’s face really badly and who was a special guest in the VIP security area to meet Prince William along with Mrs Muscat’s dressmaker, her dietician and her packet of fags (Skull and warning: Cyrus Kills), has gone to work on him too.
Will my gay male readers please write in and advise him on whether lilac lipstick makes him more fanciable to other men or less. I would say less as a general rule, though it might give him some kind of catamite appeal to the kind of aged Gary Glitter pervert who trawls the world’s ports in a permanent state of debauchery. Though at 40+ he’s a little over the hill for catamite status, isn’t he.

He’s wearing pink blusher, too, and they’ve created some sort of brownish hair up top.
How sweet! Min jaf kemm ghanda bih il-mummy.
Has he been smooching Konrat Mizzi?
Ah, whatever.

The prime minister in lisptick. It must be another diversionary tactic from the ongoing power station debate.
Was this a suggestion by Alistair Campbell?

Does anybody see the resemblance?
And how!
Hilarious.
Absolutely.
The only difference: one is sitting on the wall. The other one is heading straight into it at full speed.
Salvador Dali’ had a sofa that looked just like Joseph Muscat’s lips.
Found it:

And although it is photoshopped he still has his famous furrow.
I believe the actual hue is ‘cadaveric purple’.
It was red, until Konrot Mizzi told him that the power station deals had derailed.
U xi Brazilian minghand Natius ma tonqosx….
“… in Saviour Balzan’s stable…”?
I would say that ‘skip’ would be more appropriate.
Shasha. That of course explains why Mrs Muscat, and now her husband, look so much like a corpse.
We had Konrat in lipstick before the election, and now we have Joseph in lipstick.
One would hope this was a bad Photoshop job. If it isn’t, we are certainly in trouble.
Obviously it is, although one can never be too sure these days.
The person/s at Illum who got to edit this image must have really had a good laugh, especially when it actually made it onto the paper.
I don’t think the PM is wearing lipstick. It’s a filter the photographer used on his camera.
So much so his ears are the same colour and so is his upper forehead. For all I know I am totally wrong and lipstick was used and the PM liked what he saw and approved the publication of this photograph.
Oh for the days of the wigged one.
Give him a pink boa and send him to Albert Town.
Go red PM, Halloween’s round the corner http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5MHNvOVl8Y
I am reminded of that scene in La Cage aux Folles, where Albin is inspecting his powdered nose and rouged cheeks in the mirror, just before pulling on his perfectly coiffed wig.
Bozo the clown.
No make up always does it for me. I like to taste meaty lips rather than the lipstick my gran used to use.
Muscat never had any of the raunch factor I seek in male companionship let alone now.

[Daphne – Avid AND gay: gosh, Mrs Muscat must be so jealous.]
I doubt he’s wearing lipstick. I suspect that this is the work of a wannabe ‘pro’ photographer and some overzealous editing.
Ceep it ap
Gay men want men, not transvestites. That’s a different market altogether.
Oh boy this was fun; the comments.
The photographer needs a hard spanking.
[Daphne – Oh I’m quite sure the prime minister would be more than delighted to oblige, still in his lipstick.]
Nigh is the day when they will present him wearing his itsy bitsy teeny weeny yellow polka dot bikini on a white background. Naturally.
This photo is definitely ‘photoshopped’
He doesn’t have lipstick on. Some sort of filter has been applied by an image editing program, which would explain why his lips are the same colour as the upper part of his ears. Anything which was red was turned pinkish.
I think it was done intentionally to put the focus on the blue eyes.
To keep the balance with the heading of the article.
That will have been the first “impact” for the Kaccaturi, before the content of the article, if read.
A value is defined as “anything that creates an impact.”
There can be a high negative value and a low negative value. Scale it from -1 to -4.
Just as there can be a high positive value and a low positive value. Scale it from 1 to 4.
A negative value would be something one would want to avoid.
A positive value would be something one would want to have.
Where you stand, and the shoes you are in, would define what – from your “current” perspective – holds a higher negative or positive value. It is a sum of gut feelings, not a precise logical calculation.
That is the sort of impact conditioning we all need to be aware of.
Well, hello there Josephine! Guzeppa ta’ Burmarrad ghamlet il-lisptick.
I’m not a Muscat fan, but sometimes Daphne you look for too much detail. As with all colour pics there could be a bias towards one colour that changes the tint, either in the reproduction or the actual printing process.
In this case Magenta, or % thereof.
As for the actual looks of the PM, the less said the better….but gingerbread boy does come to mind.
