Heeeey, it’s Tippy! Your favorite fashionista-slash-politicalista. And I am here to tell you all about the new cabinet, since you lifestyle whores can’t be bothered to open the papers unless Nadech is on the cover and there’s a 10% discount coupon for a sushi buffet inside.

First of all, everyone wore white for the launch party. Note to Yingluck: that theme is getting really tired, sister­—it’s all neo-grunge these days. But what’s worse is the whole uniform thing! What is this, Prada steampunk circa 2012? Please. If you’re supposedly pocketing B700 billion from some farming scam, then at least spend it on some decent clothes. And if you must wear white under that horrible fluorescent government office lighting, at least make sure there’s a touch of yellow in there. And no, the leaking diapers of your colleagues do not count.

On that topic, does everyone have to be so ancient? Seriously, if I’m in a room where I’m actually relieved everyone is wearing clothes, that’s not a room I want to be in. And, I can’t believe I’m saying this, but where are all the women? I mean, yeah, we now have Pavena Hongsakul, but this is a woman who told Be Gay (aka BK) Magazine: “Some restaurants with striptease shows get away with paying fines of only B1,000.” Oh yeah, that is terrible. You can’t even get a sack, crack and back wax for that kind of money these days. Now a government that can allegedly make a few hundred billion vanish like a unicorn fart, that is serious money.

At least, Chalerm failed to show up. He was probably out behaving like man (i.e. having a liquid lunch) with his other sad buddy, Karun Hosakul. On this occasion, I’d like to raise a toast to Don Muang’s former MP, too: “For Karun’s commited contributions to homophobia, I hereby declare that Santorum now translates to Hosakul, in Thai!” Don’t know why we need a word for a mix of fecal matter and lube? Just Google it, baby! (Warning: Very NSFW.)

Still, come on Miss Shinawatra, are you jet lagged from all your traveling of late? You call this cabinet the new black? Those old cronies look pretty last season to me.

Joob joob,
Monsieur/Mademoiselle (depends on who I’m talking too) Tippy
