Carla Bruni In Knickers Makes Us Snicker

Images released today of French first lady Carla Bruni in some 1980’s frilly granny panties have bumped Maria Belén Chapur’s pic right out of the running for top searched political images. Just goes to show that the public’s fancy is as fickle as a Christian governor from South Carolina. One minute he’s hiking the Appalachian Trail and the next minute he’s, “hiking the Appalachian Trail.” Wink, wink, nudge, nudge. Knowhatimean? Knowhatimean?

This pic is from a 1989 mail-order catalogue for British clothing chain Next, though it looks more like it’s from an 1889 mail-order catalogue with its demure, cover-it-all style. Bruni was only 21 when it was taken, so, get all excited, you pervs.
