Face it, Carla Bruni Sarkozy, there's no competing
When Chantal Biya, first lady of Cameroon, visits your country, most first ladies know to find a closet, an empty storage locker, or to locate a space under a bed to hide, because there is no competing with her glamour and personal style. You can't blame former super model, international pop star, and first lady of France Carla Bruni Sarkozy for trying to steal the spotlight away from Biya. But try as she might, there's no competing with the coiffure that put Cameroon on the map. Bruni, we suggest that instead of getting in Chantal's shot, you pick up your guitar and pen another song like this, but dedicated to Chantal's red pant suit with matching earrings and lipstick (it's all in the color coordinating, girl).
