It's Carla Antoinette: France's First Lady tours recession-hit Paris in
disguise just like aristocrats during the Revolution
By Peter Allen
She is one of the most famous faces in the world, renowned for her Gallic
charm, elegant style and classical beauty.
But it seems that the First Lady of France is never happier than when she is
strolling through the streets of Paris – incognito, that is.
In fact, Carla Bruni even admits donning a special disguise and affecting a
‘funny voice’ to avoid being spotted, much like Marie Antoinette was said to
have done during the French Revolution.

wear while touring the streets of Paris incognito
Ms Bruni, 41, said her life as the third wife of President Nicolas Sarkozy
sometimes made ‘normal’ behaviour quite impossible, leading her to take these
extraordinary measures.
In a magazine interview to be published tomorrow she says: ‘When I go out
shopping I disguise myself by putting on glasses and I change my voice.’
Those who have heard it say the ‘new’ voice of the model-turned-singer is
‘funny and quite different to anything you normally hear’.
Rather than being deep, husky and understated – as it is when Ms Bruni speaks
at official engagements or croons during stage performances – it is
‘melodramatic and faintly ridiculous’, according to a source in the French
capital.
In disguise: Marie Antoinette was said to have travelled around Paris secretly
to avoid the wrath of the people as the French Revolution grew pace
The source added: ‘Carla is first and foremost an artist and loves performing.
Making everybody think she is someone else while she does her shopping appeals
to her sense of mischief.
‘She acts like this for security reasons but does run the risk of sounding like
an unpopular member of the French aristocracy.
Elegant: Carla at last year's state banquet held at Windsor Castle
‘As the recession deepens, high-profile members of the ruling class are not
becoming any more popular.’
Despite the comedy element, there is a serious side to Ms Bruni’s disguise.
Her husband has just completed two years in office during which France’s
economic fortunes have plunged, though not her husband’s – Mr Sarkozy awarded
himself a 100 per cent-plus pay rise within weeks of taking office in May 2007.
Ms Bruni has also enjoyed an increasingly luxurious lifestyle. One leading
critic recently called her ‘Carla Antoinette’, comparing her to the legendary
French queen who was constantly spoiled by her husband, Louis XVI, before she
was sent to the guillotine.
Mr Sarkozy has approved a scheme to give away thousands of Ms Bruni’s CDs as
part of a taxpayer-funded campaign to try to revive the French First Lady’s
flagging pop career.
The collection of songs, which she wrote herself, will be sent to marketing
‘ambassadors’ around the world, ostensibly to promote all French produce.
Gérald Andrieu, of the highbrow political weekly Marianne, said it would not be
long before Italian-born Ms Bruni was used to assist other French industries,
including fashion.
He wrote: ‘We wait with impatience the promotional week of haute couture. For
Carla Antoinette of Italy, it will perhaps be the occasion for her to get rid
of her old dresses which she doesn’t want any more.’
Ms Bruni will also be promoting her new CD in her interview, which is published
in the magazine Femme Actuelle (Current Woman) tomorrow.
She invited five ‘ordinary housewives’ into the Elysée Palace to question her
about her day-to-day life.
A spokesman said there would be no comment about the private lives of Ms Bruni
or Mr Sarkozy.

WHAT RIGHTS DO THESE VIETNAMESE INVADERS HAVE TO RUN CAMBODIA IN VIOLATION OF
THE 10 UN RESOLUTION?
SOLUTIONS?
VIETNAM INVASION & OCCUPATION OF CAMBODIA IS CONDEMNED:
Oct. 21, 1986 The UN General Assembly adopted a resolution A/RES/41/6, by vote
of 116-21 with 13 abstentions, calling for a withdrawal of Vietnamese forces
from Cambodia.
Again Vietnam, has not respected the 10 UN resolutions calling Vietnam to cease
her occupation of Cambodia and remove all her troops from the country.
America too, she sees the Vietnamese leaders as liars expressed in this
statement made by the US President Reagan.
US president Reagan calls Vietnam to restore Cambodia Independence .
President Reagan's address to the 43d Session of the United Nations General
Assembly in New York, New York,September 26, 1988.
"Mr. Secretary-General, there are new hopes for Cambodia, a nation whose
freedom and independence we seek just as avidly as we sought the freedom and
independence of Afghanistan. We urge the rapid removal of all Vietnamese troops
...."
ALL THE VIETNAMESE INVADERS, AND ILLEGAL VIETNAMESE SETTLERS, MUST RETURN HOME,
TO VIETNAM, AND RESPECT THE 10 UN RESOLUTIONS.
