Bling Wars

The King of Bling (Nicolas Sarkozy) met the Queen of Bling (Elizabeth Windsor) yesterday and it was no contest. When it comes to vulgar displays of ostentatious wealth he is a mere amateur. But the real star of the show was of course Carla Bruni-Sarkozy. Was it just me or did the Commons collectively swoon at PMQ’s yesterday when Brown welcomed President Sarkozy and his wife to Britain? And well they might. Here are two photos of the striking Carla. One with some of her clothes on. She was dressed a little more demurely yesterday.
