france's first lady of hip 'n' cool

i'm not sure if it's cool to really like carla bruni's music, style, everything, but i kinda do.



the video might be a might overly "french" in some places (the half-naked fella looking in the mirror, fingers-to-lips in horror/fear), but it's so hip in that holly-golightly (but in french!) kind of a way, that i love it. this is a bit of an old track too, so check out carla's website for newer stuff.

the record hits our american shores august 5 (next week) and i'll gladly admit i've been waiting a while for it.

I loved her first album, hated the second-- didn't realize there was another coming out!

It was so weird, back when she was first canoodling with Sarkozy there were all these freakout tabloid reports about it, but not one of them that I saw mentioned her music in any serious way. It was either not brought up at all, or mentioned really dismissively-- kind of like, "Oh yeah, and in addition to being a TOTAL MANEATER, she also has a 'music career'... MANEATER."

no, robin, you are terrible.

anyway, i thought you'd be all for her - i mean, her hubbie is all for republican right wing craziness and loves george bush. what gives?

oooh and rachel - do you have the first record? i'm hoping tim gets a copy of the new one since we're so broke ;)
