Mickey Mouse Island: Mrs Muscat channels Minnie Mouse

Mrs Muscat channelled Minnie Mouse but left the ears at home when she met the Science Council’s absurd CEO for a tour of Esplora, the interactive science experience that Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando has delivered almost four years late.

Of course, he had no interest in getting it ready before March 2013, and anyway, he was too busy fighting, shouting, making scenes, plotting, having his Earl Grey spiked, getting divorced, having a breakdown and remarrying.

If Mrs Muscat were ironic or intelligent, I would interpret her costume as commentary. But I fear it’s just another wrought-iron-balcony incident and that she doesn’t actually know that’s what Mickey Mouse’s wife wears.
