Carla Bruni and Sarah Brown Join Digital World

France's First Lady Carla Bruni's new websiteCarla Bruni has a new website, one that crashed soon after launch, but it's up and running now. What a totally fabulous idea that Bruni is able to have her own identity and online presence, in spite of Sarko being the French president. 

Sarah Brown led the way of First Ladies having a digital presence.

If you remember she Twittered and blogged her way through Europe in July and has now overtaken Stephen Fry as Britain's top Twitterer. Sarah Brown tweeted that she's a bit bemused by her line drawing in Madame Bruni's online friends gallery.

Before we view her displeasure as more of the same British/French national loathing posing as friendly rivalry, the Telegraph UK writes that Carla's drawing is the weirdest of all.

Back to Carla Bruni's website. It's a mix of French cultural intersts -- we learn that "l'enfant terrible de la mode" Jean Paul Gaultier has joined Madame Bruni's Fondation Carla Bruni-Sarkozy. Yes, indeedy, Carla is allowed to have a foundation, just as Sarah Brown is allowed to Twitter.

Given the dramatically greater presence of European women than Americans in government, this makes sense. See A of C:  Women are a Mighty Force in German Politics.

If you remember both Sarah Brown and Carla Bruni were more than fashion ornaments in New York when President Obama addressed the United Nations and Michelle looking simply stunning in her red dress. 

Sarah Brown was busy that night as the keynote speaker at Queen Rania's (and Wendi Murdock and Pepsi CEO Indra Nooyi) Important Dinner for Women, a gathering of 300 of the most important women in the world. The focus was global maternal health and child mortality rates.

Michelle Obama stuck by her man that night, unable to attend the Important Dinner for Women gathering alone. Carka was working on George Soros, where she garned a big donation for her foundation.

 Carla Bruni-Sarkozy echoed UNAIDS call to virtually eliminate mother-to-child HIV transmission by 2015 while addressing the UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and leaders at a side event to the opening of the United Nations General Assembly in New York.Here we see Bruni and Sarkozy endorsing the UNAIDS call to virtually eliminate mother-to-child HIV transmission by 2015.

Carla did the talking. Those French are so very liberated and even willing to take risks with their political wives, trusting them to speak before the whole world. If you speak French, her speech is on the website.

As well, Bruni has posted 10 key facts about AIDS and its transmission in the population.

Bruni was also allowed to sing in New York on Nelson Mandela's Brithday celebration in New York. We covered the celebration on Anne of Carversville, although not Carla's singing. The videos focus on African performers.

Carla Bruni with Michelle Obama on the spouses tour of Pittsburh, Sept. 2009We see Bruni with her gal pal Michelle-Obama in Pittsburgh, as G-20 world leaders got down to work and the spouses enjoyed the finest elements of Pittsburgh culture.

Speaking of culture, the Carla Bruni-Sarkozy website has a feature on culture in French prisons.

OK, I am really slow on the draw this morning. In tiny type, in the upper left-hand corner, Carla's website is translated to English. Bravo!!! Although I was looking forward to practicing my French.

In the Carla gallery, we see photos of France's first lady and her friends, including POTUS and FLOTUS.

Michelle and Barack Obama featured in gallery on Carla Bruni's website.This has been a good morning for me, giving me insights on how to proceed with Michelle-Style. I'm so over being an also-ran on her clothes. ObFo deservedly owns the food story, although we wil always support Michelle's efforts on healthy eating, a big focus also at Anne of Carversville.

Our First Lady Michelle Obama is such an incredible, loving, talented woman that we will now expand our focus to include other First Lady's and their global efforts, in Daily Gumbo. 

So as not to confuse you, I will only write about other First Ladies in Daily Gumbo, continuing to post news stories about the Obamas and American life and politics, as I've been doing. It's Daily Gumbo that must evolve, because I need a hit of inspiration to continue.

It's no secret that I've been supremely grouchy and uninspired since the Vatican appearance. While Team Obama decides how to proceed in the mucky muck of driving America into the modern world, we will focus on all the First Ladies who are making a difference in the world.

While Michelle is our top First Lady in charge, I will now focus the philanthropic efforts, in particular, of women like Carla Bruni and Sarah Brown. Queen Rania is well-entrenched on Anne of Carversville, in her own Smarty Pants channel. I was about to write a very flattering piece on Sarah Brown in Smart Sensuality.

Nope. Sarah Brown will be featured at Michelle-Style. I feel so much better. Now if I get the help I need, we're off and running. It wasn't my intention to even try to take Michelle-Style to web TV, because the story just isn't interesting enough.

But now, Michelle-Style has legs again, and I can see the forest through the trees. Thanks Carla and Sarah, for getting Anne out of her Michelle funk. We all have so much work to do.

Love, Anne
