If it turns out to be CW, then so be it. It's his life. But I don't get the feeling of intelligence and future marital comfort when I see pics of them together. It's more like he is just enjoying himself and is enjoying building his public profile since his father's death. I think he is also trying to keep the vista of MC young by appearing youthful himself (erego dating a younger woman).
I'm afraid that appearance is in his own mind, I do not know why men are under this impression? It actually gives the appearance that Albert is insecure and uncomfortable in the company of someone who might be more interesting and challenging? Plus I can think of a lot of women younger than Charlene with twice the maturity if I was able to believe the scenerio above. Trust me, Charlene does not make Albert appear more youthfu l
, she makes him appear just like other men who are not secure with themselves, when they reach a certain age? I do not think the PR Charlene brings is positve, or nor has she been a positive reflection on Albert in anyway, regardless if he believes this.
I understand that he THINKS having a woman (girlfriend) will keep chatter or matchmakers at bay, but I think this is a wrong approach. Albert hasn't created an image or situation that a smart woman would be eager to step into. I think Albert's dating experience is limited to a certain kind of woman, and he is still using those same dating tactics that only attract one type? I guess since Charlene is already on the scene and the damage is already done, it makes no sense to exchange her for another just like her? Albert seems to have done that many times over by now, but when or if he ever meets someone hopefully a little different, she is not going to be interested in starting a relationship with Albert untill he get's some distance from the relationship he is already in? He needs to go it alone for awhile, who cares if people speculate, they have been doing nothing but that for the past two years?
I visit France because I like France, not because I care a thing about Sarkozy's relationship. The relationship certainly has done more damage to France's image than it's helped! Sarkozy's situation is a good example, I don't think the problem so much is Carla, as it is the way these two handled the relationship in the first place, especially on the heels of Sarkozy's recent divorce, and the way they exploited the relationship in the press
. The public is well versed by now and know when they are trying to be sold something that they don't really care much about in the first place. Sarkozy and Carla did much to give the idea and appearance that they are both self involved and arrogant and that is an image they will have to play down or no one well take them seriously? Hence the Sotheby's move
You think it's partially a reaction to Sarkozy's arrogance, his cutting his trip short, maybe someone's way of taking him down a peg? Who knows?
In Albert's case he often "looks" like he has brought his wayward daughter along, I have a feeling he often feels that way
. Albert looks younger and more vibrant in his appearances alone. Charlene's company only reflects the obvious difference in their age? But, Albert is not the first man to be under the impression that a younger woman will restore his youth
. For example, I have a feeling Paul may feel that his much younger wife Heather, only served to age him during the years she was in his life? I'm sure he had the same idea as Albert in the beginning
. I have to say the older men get, after 40, the creepier they look trying to date young girls, I'm sorry but this is the reality! No one wants Albert to date someone dull, but I can't say Charlene is very exciting or interesting (IMO)? Youth is not necessarily chronological,
it's in one's way of thinking.
I agree Monaco could use a fresh infusion of something -- I think I once described it as a bit like Gucci before Tom Ford.
Monaco's image is a little tired perhaps, partly as a victim of it's own success and wealth, which other places like it have suffered as well? New and fresh ideas is what Monaco needs and I think Albert is doing a good job there, when he and others are not distracted by his relationship with Charlene. I hope she doesn't contine to be the image of Monaco that he has ushered in since his reign, I don't think that is the kind of youth to cultivate much of an image on? Rosalee have you ever seen the show Arrested Development, do you see any similarites between these two womens' character besides the fact that they are both SA?
Just curious, it took Michael's son to help clue him in!
Rosalee, I hope you continue to enjoy my
sweet opinions -- Thanks for the kind words
Hope you have a great day too!
