Comments on: And the bride wore white…. http://helenafrithpowell.com/uncategorized/and-the-bride-wore-white Sun, 18 Dec 2011 20:57:54 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: louise hurren http://helenafrithpowell.com/uncategorized/and-the-bride-wore-white/comment-page-1#comment-3280 louise hurren Thu, 14 Feb 2008 09:41:16 +0000 http://helenafrithpowell.com/uncategorized/and-the-bride-wore-white#comment-3280 I couldn't figure out what it was about Carla Bruni that irritated me so much until today. Walking past a newstand, there was a magazine with her face on the cover. That thin, long, lank hair, centre parting, slightly protuberant teeth, and wet, "cute little me" expression... that would be enough, but no, there was something else. She made me think of... got it! Meredith! Dippy, whimsy, navel-gazing Meredith from Gray's Anatomy. My lurve rival (in my fantasy world) for McDreamy's affections. Of course. No wonder I'm bugged by Carla Bruni. Not that I'm gagging for Nicolas Sarkozy in a fantasy world, you understand. I've just taken exception to the way his new wife looks. And I don't even know the poor woman. How very unfair of me.

It's a little more tasteful than the last one which I think was offering gay porn sites, heaven knows why they chose my blog but maybe I will finally make some money from it! I know St Chinian very well, it's lovely, enjoy your stay. I am in London which is sunny, rather amazingly. Hx Hello Sev

I think she left the unclad days of her past a long time ago..... unless you know different! Maybe she will end up being more Jackie Kennedy and less Jordan...... but I guess we'll have to wait and see. Mind you, Jackie O (as she became) certainly ended up being fairly strange towards the end of her life. Maybe Carla has started early? I started reading this site because I read your books about living in France, as I had just bought a house in St Chinian - not a million miles from you. I arrived back here today, and was surprised how warm it was. 16 degrees at 18.00. Not bad for the beginning of Feb. You are always an interesting read - even if I don;t always agree with you! Are you aware that there's advert for Phillipino ladies down the side of this page?!! Oooh…. I think she left the unclad days of her past a long time ago….. unless you know different!

And I agree that it would be lovely if it all worked out but the more I see of her the madder I think she is. Maybe, unlike Jackie Kennedy who was a natural, Carla will grow into her role of First Lady. And start to wear clothes on a more regular basis. Hx Hello Sev, how sweet of you, thank you.

God knows, they have had enough shit thrown at them! Time will tell I guess, and time will also heal poor Rupert! Can't think why he's that bothered when he's got a wife like you. (NOT meant sarcastically - honest!). It may all go hideously wrong, but the old romantic in me hopes that it works out for them. God knows, they have had enough shit thrown at them!

Nicolas and Carla have just the right amount of “vulgarité” to endear them to today’s France. “On a le président qu’on mérite”.
