Carla Bruni Nude Photos To be Auctioned

Carla Bruni, the wife of French President Sarkozy, has been trying very hard to be taken seriously as the French first lady. Unfortunately that may not go according to plan. The Carla Bruni nude photos are being auctioned off in Britain while she’s there for a visit.In 1993, photographer Michel Comte took some nude portraits of Carla Bruni, and Christie’s has chosen to auction the nude photos right as Mrs. Sarkozy is visiting England on state business. One of her aides reports,

“Carla is very angry, not to say deeply upset, that a commercial organisation has chosen to release this print at such an important time. Her priority is to establish herself on the world stage as a first lady France can be proud of.”The auction house defends the sale, noting that the photos are works of art and that Carla is one of the most beautiful women in the world.

Since marrying Carla after an 80-day courtship, President Sarkozy’s ratings have dipped dramatically. A lot of people take issue with the relationship and how affectionate the couple is in public.
