At the African First Ladies Health Summit, which started on Monday in Los Angeles, one woman stood out... Chantal is the second wife of President Paul Biya of Cameroon. She was born to a French father and a Cameroonian beauty pageant winner. She is famous in Cameroon for her hairstyles. Her signature look even has a name: the banane
Her luxuriant hair caused a stir when we published a picture of her in our pictures of the day gallery. One blogger wrote "all hail the Fierce Ruling First Lady of Cameroon"
Pope Benedict XVI arrives at the presidential palace of Cameroon president Paul Biya and his wife Chantal in Yaounde on March 18, 2009
I bet Carla Bruni isn't used to be upstaged.

How tall is she? She seems to be taller than most men there. Her hair looks like a wig in some photos.

One of the article said he hair is taller than the Pope's mitre during his recent visit.
I guess women from Texas appreciate big hairstyles?

She likes wearing dresses made of lace tablecloths; which I have to say is an improvement of Shelly O's wearing the draperies:
The hat is a bit much, though.

OH that is so perfect!!!!

Au Contrair, mes amies, she looks like the beautiful deer in the headlights of a dump truck and possibly fearing of being eaten alive by that ugly hairy skag. End of story.
That woman makes Dolly Parton look like Miss California.
In her land of poverty, I'd be amused by the personal expenses she exploits to look that ugly. She probably hangs out with Mrs. Mugabi on her shopping trips to Europe and Hong Kong.
