Glen Falzon shares a heartfelt message following first news reading

Jul 6 2021

National news station TVM have just debuted Glen Falzon as heralding the news reports for the first time yesterday. Known for his TV programme ‘Insights’, Glen shared an emotional post opening up about this wonderful opportunity. He started by rhetorically asking who would have imagined that he would be reading the news on the national tv station. He expressed how he went from being bullied at school to reporting stories to the Maltese public.

Glen stated he lost count of how many times he avoided confrontation or kept his head down at school. The situation is now very different, he said. He acknowledged he has ‘one million’ defects, but his success story is proof that anyone who wishes to achieve something can do so. The 5th of July will remain engraved in Glen’s memory as the day his dreams came true. He paid tribute to his humble origins and thanked all those who supported him to close off his heart-warming post.

Balenciaga High-Vis jacket selling for whopping $4000

Jul 6 2021

French label Balenciaga is known for both its cutting-edge designs and their insane price tags to match them up. The latest inspiration for its current line has apparently come from high-vis jackets, and its selling at the insane price of $4000. The neon yellow ‘men’s reversible parka’ is being sold on the Balenciaga website and features the letters BLNCG as logo.

The jacket comes in two sizes – French sizes 44 and 46, which are equivalent to extra small and small. With two slash pockets, a concealed zipped closure with snaps and a foldable hood with drawstrings, the jacket is completely reversible. This means you get two coats for the price of one… sort of. The release was met with both intrigue and skepticism, with some asking why construction jackets are becoming a fashion statement.
