Too Much Botox for France’s First Lady?

How much is too much Botox? Model Carla Bruni is barely recognizable as the glamorous woman who married Sarkozy in 2008. According to London’s Daily Mail, four years as France’s first lady seemed to have taken their toll on Carla Bruni when she was photographed voting in presidential elections this week. Many suggested that too much Botox and other surgical procedures have transformed her fresh and beautiful model looks into something really strange. Exit polls correctly predicted that her husband, President Nicolas Sarkozy, would most likely suffer a defeat in the first round of France’s 2012 presidential election. After his defeat at the polls this week, Sarkozy now faces a run-off vote on May 6.
