Christie’s auction house sold Carla Bruni’s black and white nude photo for USD $91,000. That was an exclusive, original photo. Carla was fuming mad that Christie announced the auction on the eve of her French state visit to UK. The buyer was a Chinese art collector who used a representative to snag the purchase.

Carla Bruni Sarkozy, Princess Letizia: Sarkozy, Princess Letizia (photos)
France’s First Lady, Carla Bruni Sarkozy met Spain’s Princess Letizia on Monday, April 27. Carla Bruni visited Princess Letizia at Zarzuela Palace outside Madrid, Spain.

Carla Bruni modeled nude for many years. She did not anticipate in a hundred years that she would become First Lady of France in 2008. On Mar. 26 – 27, Carla and her husband, Nicolas Sarkozy were in England. Some newspapers have lampooned Carla and benefitted from her popularity.

The feet of Carla Bruni and Nicolas Sarkozy.
This is one of my favorite pictures of the day. The outspoken Nicolas Sarkozy has an image makeover and height boost. There is no way he, at 5 ft 4 in, could add heels to measure up to Carla’s 5 ft 9 in.

Carla Bruni and Nicolas Sarkozy, step off plane, at Heathrow, Mar. 26, 2008. This is the first state visit from France since 12 years ago.
This might become the turning point in Sarkozy’s political career. He needs positive results to earn him badly needed support back home.
