As part of our Master's, today (yes, on a Sunday) we were asked to go to St. James Cavalier for the Italia Film Festival... It's actually a cool place and we believe it deserves a wider exposure!
Anyway, 2 hours later, Scimeca's Malavoglia (a rendition of Verga's I Malavoglia) was over.
Well, much to our dismay, we discovered that the real festival was, in reality, in the streets of Valletta. Being Christmas time, the streets of the Capital were packed with people shopping (and given what many were wearing, they definitely need it!)
We thought Carnival usually comes in February. Guess we were wrong. Or wait, could it have been that tigers and leopards escaped from the circus? (Or serkils, you choose.) In either case, Valletta was certainly a, erm, colourful sight, for want of a better word!
Some others stayed off excessive animal prints and went for - wait for it - actual animals around their necks and wrists... You know, the mega chunky, gold snake-like type. We felt like screaming "Less is more" in their faces. One chunky piece at a time can give a rather plain outfit that little oomph it needs, granted. Too much of it = disaster!
Then again, less is NOT always more.
Since when is a miniskirt shorter than your nails appropriate?
...seems like it is, for many - big and small, young and old.
