There's A Place In France Where The Naked Pictures Of The First Lady Fail To Hit The Reserve Price

Continuing signs of the recession: “A nude photo of Carla Bruni-Sarkozy — identical to one sold last year for $91,000 — has been withdrawn from a Paris auction after bids failed to hit the reserve prices. Bidding for the black and white shot, showing Miss Bruni standing pigeon-toed and covering her crotch with her hands, began at €4,000 (£3,600) but reached only €5,800, less than the undisclosed reserve price, the Drouot auction house said.”
