Trinidadian bloggers go to town over a photograph of the Prime Minister at a Carnival fete sporting expensive brand-name shoes: B.C. Pires [1] says: “She’s bound to get flak for such a vulgar display, even at the height of the vulgarity of one of the world’s most vulgar displays, the modern Trinidad Carnival”, while The Eternal Pantomime [2] adds: “The real story is not Das Boots…but what Das Boots represents. These Louis Vs may well be the way we remember the PM’s reign in years to come: a garish, coskelle display of inappropriateness.”
