New first lady is a true French beauty

I came across this interesting and witty insight into international political fashion on one of my favorite blogs, A Serious job Is No Excuse. I'd like to think this is the type of thing I'd write about on this blog, but have never really thought to venture out into foreign heads.

... I came across these snaps of Cécilia Sarkozy, the wife of newly-elected French president, Nicolas Sarkozy, at his inauguration last month.

All along I'd been told President Sarkozy's socialist challenger, Ms. Ségolène Royale, was the hot one to watch on the French political scene, but after being only mildly impressed with her "scandalous" bikini photoshoot and then of course completely dissuaded once she failed to secure a win in the runoff election, I now turn my attention instead to the fickle-icious comings and goings of the extraordinarily well-dressed and self-absorbed beauty, Miss Cécilia.

She may be a lithe 5'10" former model who only sort-of dabbled academically in a little of this and a little of that; she may have allowed France's most powerful man to follow through on his now well-known plan - a plan he concocted while in attendance of his future wife's first wedding - to woo her out of those pesky 'til-death-do-us-part-etc.-etc. vows; and she may be the woman who instead of ending her sagging second marriage to one of France's most high profile politicians takes up with yet another man in a very much out-in-the-open affair that includes vacations to Cannes and New York and frequent hand-holding alfresco lunches in Paris.

Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

The sophistcated, figure-flattering style, the thin ankles, the good haircut, the genuine smile and alluring feminine wiles - it looks like Hillary might have found her perfect complement. ...

OK, well I definitely don't agree with that last line - Hillary's style is not nearly as impecable as Sarkozy's and she could never even try to pull off that gorgeous knee-length, cap-sleeve dress. To read the entire entry, click here...
