PARIS – FRENCH first lady Carla Bruni-Sarkozy launched a website Monday to publicise her charity work and give the world a glimpse of the former supermodel’s life in the Elysee with President Nicolas Sarkozy.
Bruni, who already had a successful career as a pop star before marrying the twice-divorced Sarkozy after a whirlwind romance in 2008, already has a website dedicated to her musical career.
The new site, www.carlabrunisarkozy.org, covers three topics: a foundation to help the underprivileged in France, her work as ambassador for the Global Fund to Fight Aids, Tuberculosis and Malaria and life as France’s first lady.
When it went online the site was immediately swamped by visitors, with a notice stating that it ‘was a victim of its own success’ and requesting visitors to try again in a few hours.
Bruni’s launch came just days after her husband took another big step in the Internet communications world by saying he would track his every move at a forthcoming climate summit in Denmark on Twitter, the microblogging website.
Mr Sarkozy already has a page on the social networking website Facebook.
