I wish I were you...

1. you're the first lady of France,
2. you're gorgeous,
3. you're an accomplished musician,
4. you're heiress to grandpa Virginio's tire manufacturing fortune,
5. you've modeled for top fashion houses like Yves Saint Laurent, Chanel, Christian Dior + Givenchy, and
6. you were romantically linked to the likes of Mick Jagger + Eric Clapton.

At another date + time a younger me would hate envy you. Today I'm mature enough to admit that I want to be you.
