Just to clarify:
We here at La Vie de PetiteBrigitte are NOT obsessed with Brigitte Bardot. We do, however, credit her as the ultimate muse of 50′s and 60′s French riviera glamour. We do not follow or endorse any of BB’s current pursuits!
That being said, BB gave a RARE interview to CNN this week, discussing her bittersweet memories of the Festival de Cannes.
Not sure how I feel about Brad’s slicked up hair and prettyboy vest, but Angie looks like the divine goddess that she is. The couple are in Cannes to promote two films: Angelina’s A Mighty Heart, and Brad’s Ocean’s Thirteen.
Today Angie announced a 1 year break from filming.
This week Bollinger, my new favorite French champagne house, will break with decades of tradition and launch a no-sugar-added champagne targeted to ladies. Get out your shopping list: it’s called Ayala Cuvée Rosé Nature.
Now there’s no excuse, so drink up! A flute of this champagne will add a mere 65 calories to your diet, instead of the normal 89. Bollinger says the taste is very comparable to the real stuff, and provides the same alcohol content. So we can stay skinny AND get drunk.
Sound too good to be true? Here’s how it works:
Around three level teaspoons of liquefied sugar – called the dosage – is normally added to most champagnes at the last moment before bottling to balance the flavour and make it more palatable.
Bollinger leaves the dose of sugar out.
Elizabeth Ferguson, a spokeswoman for Ayala, said: “This is basically a testament to the quality of the perfectly ripe fruit. The dosage is put in to cover up any faults with a champagne– but we are using the best possible fruit which is why we are not having to do it.”
Brilliant timing. Now we can look like her for bikini season!
