Sexy First Ladies

As anyone who has not been living for the past several years deep in Carlsbad Caverns knows, the great nation of France, upholding its richest traditions, boasts one of the sexiest first ladies around, in the person of Carla Bruni.

But as we are reminded today, in this profile of Vaclav Havel in The New York Times, Czechoslovakia once boasted an equally alluring first lady in the person of Dagmar Veskrnova. (We've been forced to hide Mrs. Havel's photo behind the jump, due to its mildly NSFW nature.)

Now, both Cindy McCain and Michelle Obama are great-looking women, and will certainly grace the White House. But it seems to me that Dagmar Veskrnova's bar-raising status as "an actress almost 20 years [Havel's] junior known for her role as a topless vampire" could only be met here in the USA by someone such as Elvira or Julie Strain.



Since McCain seems arguably the underdog in the race for president, Weird Universe hereby offers this free political advice: ditch Cindy, and pick up either Elvira or Julie.

It would certainly change our votes!
