Madame la ministre
Role: Minister
Title: Madame Born twice:
First in 1987, the day of her birthday, and a second time in 2017, when she became the most audacious and free-thinking Minister in the history of politics!
Her meteoric rise through the ranks has been nothing short of exceptional and she will go down in the annals for her imaginative approach to the nation’s affairs. Yet Madame La Ministre will never renounce her freedom, nor ditch one iota of her devastating humour. “Power should be a thrill – in fact, everything should be a thrill!” she once declared. Recent events show how this First Lady walks the talk!

Morning routine
“Every morning I make myself a big glass of lemon or blood-orange juice, and then I forget to drink it. I still post it on Instagram, though. To make believe.”
Night Routine
“Every evening I make myself a big glass of lemon juice, and I never forget to drink it. It gives me the energy I need for the night ahead!”
Interviews confidence
Guy
Did you ever imagine you’d be at the centre of a scandal?
“I’ve seen things you wouldn’t believe going on in the back seat. I’m not allowed to say too much – and I wouldn’t want to – but what I saw in the rear-view mirror made me realise that gender doesn’t really matter when the lights are low... They were having such a good time in that car, and that’s always nice to see – I struggled to keep my eyes on the road!”
Tamy
Did you ever imagine you’d be at the centre of a scandal?
“I always had this androgynous look so I didn't need to go looking for scandal – it found me! It caused a sensation overnight, but everyone quickly got used to it. It didn’t bother me – I have a lot more fun than others and that’s a valuable thing indeed!”
Jean Paul Gaultier
Did you ever imagine you’d be at the centre of a scandal?
“I’ve been at the centre of scandals all my life! What’s changed over time is that joyful scandals are rare nowadays. Everyone’s so earnest. We have to keep reminding ourselves that scandal can also be light-hearted.”
Madame la Ministre
Did you ever imagine you’d be at the centre of a scandal?
“Well, let’s say I'm not surprised! I’ve always done just as I please. Being bright helped me in my studies, for sure, but my gift also makes me imaginative and undisciplined. People are boring when they’re too serious.”

An Expert Speaks Out
Jean Paul Gaultier
“What I instantly liked about Madame La Ministre is how she loves to cause a scandal. If a stolen photo reveals what a naughty party animal she is, she won’t deny it or go into fits of rage… more like fits of laughter! I also love how she scoffs at the preconception that being talked about too much will damage your reputation. Everything’s so serious these days. Everyone’s afraid of causing a scandal. But not her! Madame La Ministre’s light-hearted attitude is a breath of fresh air in a world where the slightest breach of decorum takes on epic proportions. Having met quite a few ballsy, unconventional and debauched characters, I know that they all have one thing in common: They couldn’t care less what people think of them. Which is a good way of thinking. The best, in fact!”
Horoscope
Scorpio
Suspicion will fall on you, but keep smiling. Don’t be stung into action, no matter how outrageous the scandalous rumours.
Libra
You may find yourself reeling as the scales fall from your eyes, but your sense of rhythm will see to that.. Try and see both sides of the story – remember, all’s fair in love and war!
Sagittarius
As a seeker of truth, you want to know what’s really going on. But beware, a straight arrow like you might be deeply shocked by more revelations.
Capricorn
You’re known for your calm self-possession. Now’s the time to put it to the test as you face disturbing revelations.
Virgo
As more details emerge, you’ll be tempted to try and tidy up the mess from last night. But this scandal is a perfect 10 and even you won't be able to put these affairs in order!
Leo
Your rivals will be roaring with anger when the scandal breaks, so make sure they know you’re top dog! Stay ahead of the pack by making sure someone else get the lion’s share of the blame.
Cancer
You love attention, so today’s your lucky day! Don’t get crabby when everyone keeps asking you to tell them what you saw. Cancer knows how to keep a secret, so leave them guessing.
Gemini
Your family already thinks you’re two people rolled into one – wait until they find out both “yous” have a split personality! Soon you'll be able to play five-a-side on your own.
Taurus
Rather than charging in to stave off suspicion with some cock-and-bull story, let others speculate until the cows come home. A little scandal never did anyone any harm.
Aries
It’s going to be a busy day as everyone seeks you out to get the low-down. Usually you’re the one who’s on the offensive. Enjoy how the tables have turned! Just don't lock horns with the wrong person.
Pisces
You thought swimming in troubled waters would put you at risk, but the opposite is true: this scandal is making such a splash, you’ll be a bigger fish than ever.
Aquarius
You’re such a free-spirited individualist, you don't always notice when others are talking about you. But today your name will be on everyone’s lips. This hint of scandal in the air will put you in your element.
