What I love about Europeans when it comes to their attitudes with politicians is that they are not bothered by their personal romantic lives. In the US, no way a president, or any politicians, could dream of marrying a model with a child out of wed lock, and smokes in public, and had taken tastefully nude photos. The French don't give a damn, they quite like Carla, she has style, beautiful, very flirtatious, and speaks many languages. The US politicians couldn't even dream of dating a woman like that, they could be crucified by the media.

Great and very subtle humour ! ... and I must say ... the tour you just took us through is ... how can i say it ? ... ' you made it really worthwhile reading all the way ! and I really enjoyed the list ! These are the moments when I can kick my head against the wall for having forgotten to buy the issue ! ... by the way I loved the following ....

"The rest is history, as you go on further in the article you will find out that she is a polite well educated person who has an amazing life. Not just for being a model and the new first lady but for being an independent women and making choices for herself. Designers love working with her, she is still good friends with her ex boyfriends and with their new wives. And so will France as their new first lady.

I think Carla knows what it is to be Lady No. 1 ! ... at least in France ! .....LOL! ... Maria Antoniette must be feeling full of envy and rather
bewildered asking herself what has Carla got that I didn't have ??? ... ! Well dear Antoinette ... Carla has what we call ... 'style ' , survival instinct, modesty and at least a less conspicuous hair style and not to mention a good head on her shoulders !!! ... and not to forget those life saving designers to guide you through the perils of the ' fashion-guillotine' ... and last but not least she hasn't the disadvantage of being a descendant of the Grand Duke of Tuscany ! :):)
