New York, Apr 10 : Men at a bar in Big Apple were shocked when they saw French First Lady Carla Bruni-Sarkozy cat-walking on TV screens wearing skimpy lingerie.

The regulars at Telephone Bar on Second Avenue saw the former model-turned President's wife strutting down a runway in skimpy lingerie.

"I doubt [French President] Nicolas Sarkozy would like it if he knew that men in bars around town were ogling his wife wearing a G-string and garter belt," the New York Post quoted one beer drinker as saying jokingly.

The footage- at least a decade old-was provided by bar entertainment company The Panel.

The company also uses footage of Gisele Bundchen and Karolina Kurkova from lingerie shows and video of extreme skiing. (ANI)
