You have probably heard all about Carla's interview with Femme Actuelle (women magazine in France) and how Carla called Nicolas her chou-chou (sweet nickname for someone's husband or boyfriend). However, we just found this great link with all the videos of the interview by 5 Femme Actuelle readers to Carla, who talks about her foundation, her work, her life, her role as first lady (and also a video with her dogs!) and also more vanal things such as what she carries in her handbag. They also show the readers' opinions after meeting her.
It's in French but well worth a check even if you don't speak French!

Carla in November
We have recently found out about the so many activities Carla was involved in during this last month by her oficial webpage, so here is a recap of what the lovely Mrs Bruni has been up to, apart from attending the Armistice Day as we reported earlier.
Visit to cancer research centre
The presidential couple visited the Paoli-Calmettes Institute in Marseille the 2nd November. President Sarkozy unveiled France's second national plan against cancer during a speech.

Concert for donation to Fondation Giorgio Cini
Carla together with her mother and sister Valeria attended a concert in Venice on Tuesday night to commemorate the donation of Alberto Bruni-Tedeschi's musical archives to the Fondation Giorgio Cini. She looked lovely in a trench coat and sunglasses.
Revelations Lancome event
The brand Lancome supports the access of young students to art studies who otherwise would not be able to afford them. You can read more on the initiative at Carla’s official page. The first stage of the process started the last 12th November

Carla participated on 18th November in a visit to Qatar, where she took part in events concerning education. Mrs Bruni was invited by Her Higness Sheikha Mozah. Mr Sakorzy joined her afterwards in the country for meetings with Qatar’s ministers after a visit to Saudi Arabia where he was on official visit. She aimed to promote the opening of branches of French Universities such as HEC school of management, the Pasteur medical research organisation and cancer research centre IRCAD in Qatar. She joins with this initiative the aims of Sheikha Mozah (wife of Qatar’s Emir) who works with effort on promoting education in Qatar. It seems that this two ladies have more things in common than just their exquisite elegance. An article by AFP confirms that the relationship between both ladies is close: “La relation entre les deux femmes est personnelle et forte” as confirmed by a source from the Elysee. Sheikha Mozah and Carla Bruni met during a State visit to France earlier on this year.
Later on in the day Carla attended along with other high-profile ladies and gentlemen (such as Mrs Irina Bokova UNESCO Director General, Mrs Ruth Dreifuss Former President of the Swiss Confederation, Mr Gerhard Schroeder Former Chancellor of

Carla dazzles at State Dinner with Irak’s presidential couple
The Sarkozy’s welcomed Iraq's President and wife at a formal dinner on November 16, 2009 at the Elysee presidential palace in Paris. France moved to raise both its profile and its profits in Iraq today, welcoming President Jalal Talabani to Paris with a series of trade and aid deals ready for signing. Carla looked perfect with a simple LBD and curly hair.

The very popular cartoon did an episode featuring France’s president and wife. You can check it out at RTVE. Several Presidents and wives have been imitated by the Simpsons, such as Bill Clinton, George Bush, Jimmy Carter, o even Tony Blair.

Carla collaborates with Harry Connick Jr
Carla sings a bonus song in crooner Harry Connick Jr's new album, Your Songs, that is released the following 16 november. The song is And I Love Her, by the Beatles. Carla sings in both English and French in the song, which you can hear in this link.
Carla says no to fur
Carla replied to star Brigitte Bardot, well-known for her animal rights work, that she does not wear fur because of a "personal choice" and said she would be glad "if people imitated her behaviour" in a reply to the actress' letter to stop bullfighting in the South of France. She also congratulated Brigitte on her passion for animal rights defense and Brigitte herself thanked the First Lady, as commented by AFP.
We applaud Carla's choice and hope her example leads the way. Hopefully Carla will get involved with the organisation in her role as spouse of the President. You can read more on the great work of the Brigitte Bardot Foundation for animal rights in this link:
