Carla at Buckingham

Well, she whispered: at once husky and childlike, like the bits Jane Birkin speaks on the breathy 60s number Je t'aime ... moi non plus. "This is a fundamental cause," she said, pronouncing "cause" as "coze". (... Je vais et je viens, entre tes reins ...) "It reflects the position of women in so many societies". (... Tu es la vague, moi l'île nue ...). In attendance were some male photographers, who were supposed to be taking pictures; their cameras were forgotten, their mouths catching flies.

My usual "Way to go Sarko," and it sounds like the British Crown secured a bit more geld with Carla than could have been procured by a fleet of Viking longboats.

She looks a bit cold in that drafty shower at Buckingham palace. Someone give her a fluffy towel, quick!

I'll handle this, AI.

Easy, tiger. "I do not like ze look of zees", says Sarkozy.

Oh how the paradox of life continues: Sarkozy scores the hot babe, and now the hot babe is scoring all the publicity.

It's a self-reinforcing mechanism. BTW, who pays for all those Christian Dior dresses and baubles? Sarko, or the Nanny State?

Who gives a shit.

Actually, you make a point: perhaps Carla should be wearing less fabric and material to save the Frenchies a bit more money. I'll bet Pepe would be for this, too.

...one example, and then another.

It might save the French a lot of money: Liberté, égalité, fraternité!

The Christian Dior angle is actually non-trivial from the French point of view, I think. More likely, they pay her (or owe her big) for modeling their rags. This haute couture stuff is business, not just fun and games. Ah, well.

From the above source: "This is a woman who oozes animal magnetism – and British men have obviously noticed. She may now be a respectable first lady on the arm of the French President but thanks to her modelling career and Google, they know what she looks like." You don't say.

Yes, in every photo all the guys are smiling.
