    As a guy, I wouldn't mind being the only male in that picture. There are some nice looking ladies in that group.

    @una.perra.andaluza: Seriously. I don't like the composition of this photo actually. It's like, "hm, what can we do to put the pretty popular ladies in front? They are also tall, so we know they SHOULD not be standing in from of people that are 5'3.... Let's just put them here and then scatter some of the shorties around." Look at the one behind Carla... I guarantee you could even see her in half the shots.

    @LaFemme: that's what I was thinking! Since when do the shorties go in back? That's yearbook picture composition 101 right there. Although I'm a wee one and thus always dwarfed no matter what.

    @la.donna.pietra: I would be happy too, to be next to the glory that is Michelle!

    I have decided that I have a lady crush on Carla Bruni. She is an amazing singer, beautiful, fashionable and a first lady. Le sigh!

    I have always had one on Michelle O, so that goes without saying.

    I bet that if they play a pick up game of basketball, Michelle gets picked first. No one would be able to get a shot off with her at center.

    It still kind of bugs me that the male spouses aren't in the picture, as if it's demeaning in some way.

    I'd like to point out that Zapatero's wife name is Sonsoles Espinosa, not Sonsoles Zapatero. I don't think that anyone changes their name at marriage in Spain.

    Anyway, it's interesting to see that the two First "Men" for Germany and Argentina don't stay for such pictures.

    Not trying to be a smart ass, just some insights to the german chancellor-husband...

    Angela Merkels husband Joachim Sauer is famous for not showing up on official occasions - I am not even sure if he attended Angies inauguration ceremony. Almost the only time the german public gets a peek at him is when he accompanies his wife to the yearly Wagner-Festival (Opera, that stuff).

    I think most of the german public likes him for that - it´s refreshingly down-to-earth. In general we don´t have any particular tradition of partner-of-politicians-running-around-doing-good-deeds. Excluding the wifes (up until now, sadly only wifes - we're working on it) of the presidents - the german president having solely representative duties, their families are normally more present. Some chancellors wifes followed the "american" path before, writing books and doing stuff.... but I think the only ones they make happy with that are the press people. For the rest of germany, it´s normally pretty okay if we don´t even know how spouses and children look like, let alone what they do and where they are.

    That said: it annoys the hell out of me that these "spouse-programmes" are still so 1950s-girls-stuff. I ntoo would have hoped that Michelle Obama would have turned the wheel just a bit more...
    Maybe we have to wait until there is a critical mass of male spouses. The kind who follow their wives to G20 meetings, not the Joachim-Sauer-what-the-fuck-do-I-care?-kind.
