Photo of the Week

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the first lady of France, Carla Bruni:


The photo was taken in 1993 by photographer Michel Comte, and is part of a collection due to be auctioned at Christie's in New York on April 10th.

Apparently, Mrs. Bruni-Sarkozy is furious over British auctioneers announcing the sale of the photo just when she is about to make an official visit to the UK, and is eager to convince people to take her more seriously.

But the photo was taken almost 15 years ago, and done during her modeling days by a renowned photographer. Moreover, she looked (and looks) great. She's got nothing to worry about. According to the auction house, it is expected to fetch up to $4000 dollars, but I expect the bid will go much further than that.

And she's also not the only one. Nude photos of models Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, and Giselle Bundchen are also scheduled to be sold.

Incidentally, this is not a porn site - but I am not opposed to photos including woman's breasts which can be seen on European beaches, on statues, money, even official state seals. The photo above probably stretches my standards to the limit however.
