Another Carla Bruni nude photo

France's first lady Carla Bruni-Sarkozy (Corbis)

Best opinion: Daily Mail, First Post, CNN.com

It’s not like it’s something we haven’t seen before, said Britain’s Daily Mail, but a 1994 nude photo of French first lady Carla Bruni should fetch a pretty price when it’s sold at auction in Berlin next week. Only 10 numbered copies of the 16-by-24-foot print exist. It was shot “at the height of Miss Bruni’s modeling fame, when she was 26 and dating rock legend Mick Jagger.”

The bare-breasted photo—entitled “Carla Bruni in Bed”—is risqué, said Casey Chance in The First Post, though not as racy as a nude shot that sold for $96,000 a year ago. But neither image seems to embarrass French President Nicholas Sarkozy. Bruni’s husband says he has “no issue” with the nude photos, because his wife was, after all, a top fashion model at the time, and all the images of her are tasteful and have “artistic merit.”

It’s hard to keep up with “the adventures of French President Sarkozy’s wife,” said Tom Foreman in CNN.com. There seem to be nude photos of her everywhere, she released a song about drug abuse, and criticized the pope, saying his opposition to contraception was hurting the fight against AIDS in Africa. Carla Bruni’s candor can be shocking, but it’s winning her “legions of fans.”

Posted by Suzi Lamour, Monday, June 15, 2009, 7:45 am Its nice to see a woman stand proud on her principles instead oif shrinking back in the fearful light pointed at her by puritanical hypocrites that don't even bare their breasts in the privacy of their own bedroom mirrors. Nudity is a natural part of being human even those who see it as evil possess it. Its even nicer to see her husband support her beauty and infuriate women everywhere. Beauty opens from the inside out and blossoms, it doesn't shine forth from the ends of a womans breasts like high beams.
