I'd Love to Glove Rachida Dati
Cri de coeur. British feminists are foaming at the spectacle of French Justice Minister, Rachida Dati, zooming out of a 5-day maternity leave. L’horreur, non? Quel mirage. Black velvet jacket, stilettoed feet, no eye-bags, no belly-bag. She’s so impeccably French: an excoriating sight for la femme ros-bif, who gets fat by just looking at lard (and probably eating it when all’s said and done) and whose life is audibly destroyed by the effects of childbirth – while Dati will slither in and out of halcyon Provençal lunches like a diaphanous anchois, dropping kids in the morning and holding forth in the Supreme Court by elevenses.
Dati’s rush back to work, it is said, might have more to do with the fact that Sarkozy is planning a reshuffle imminently and that her presence demonstrates her desire to keep her position. Therefore, with a new baby to care for and no active father in the dynamic, someone should give la superwomaaan a break – or equally allow her not to have one.
In my capacity as Secrétaire de Gants (sharing office with the Fashion Police and Style Council) I’d issue these to Mme Dati.
Black Patent Leather Gloves. Sleek, shiny and wipe-clean.
