First off, congratulations to all the RITA and GH nominees, particularly Kelly Parra who was nominated for First Book and YA. Thank god, we finally have a YA category this year. I can't wait to attend the awards ceremony this year. I was a little bummed that none of the entries that I read was nominated in the Novel with Strong Romantic Elements category. I thought some of them were very good.
Unfortunately I was not nominated, but I really didn't think I would be. MUCH ADO ABOUT HIGH SCHOOL needs serious work. But I'm glad that I finally bit the bullet and entered. I also received a really lovely email from a friend of Michael's, Jo Manning, after reading my blog post yesterday.
Now on to the fun. The couple in the picture is President Nikolas Sarkozy of France and his new bride Carla Bruni, the former model and now an singer. They were married in February after only dating for like three months. His second marriage ended in divorce in October (his ex-wife Cecilia just got married to the man she once left Sarkozy for.)
This is Carla on her recent trip to England to meet the Queen. What the hell happened? Did she buy her outfit at the frumpy President's wife store? Seriously, the Queen looks more stylish than she does. Love the Jackie O hat, but grey? All of her designer friends couldn't have come up with something better?
Here is Sarkozy with Camilla. Doesn't Camilla look fabulous? If only Carla had taken a leaf out of Camilla's book and added a jaunty hat or something more spring like to her attire than frumpy gunmetal grey. A lovely shade of purple, or heck, even something tri-color would have been better. I have a feeling that she was worried about upstaging him or that everyone thought she would wear some Christian LaCroix or Gaultier disaster. So she went more for the Hillary Clinton collection.
What do people think? Frump or Fashion forward?
