Brigitte Pellerin is still swish

March 4, 2009 by Andrea Mrozek 1 Comment

She was swish last year, she’s swish this year again. Except that this year, I like to think I helped out on the swishiness factor, because I went dress shopping with Brigitte.

The event is Politics and the Pen, a fundraiser for The Writers’ Trust, and writers are paired up with politicians to host a table and entertain folks. Our very own Brigitte is one such writer–(you did know she’s written books, on top of everything else, one of them is here)–and so she will be the witty and charming hostess with the mostess at a table tonight. She says wine always helps–and where doesn’t it, I ask–however Brigitte is charming enough all on her own.

__________________________

Brigitte blushes a bit: Actually, Andrea was my good-luck charm. It’s a very fine dress we found (any dress that makes a girl look thinner than she is is worth its weight in platinum). Which, come to think of it, is almost what this one cost… But hey, at least my hair will not cost as much as this.

__________________________

Andrea is a good luck charm and is also secretly hoping to borrow said dress should the need arise. But don’t think of that now. I’m going swimming and playing hockey tonight. No word of a lie. Some of us are swishy, others are sporty (wait a second, Brigitte is both…)

On surrogacy

December 23, 2008 by Andrea Mrozek 3 Comments

I love it when I stumble across a good article. I love it even more when it turns out the author is a member of ProWomanProLife. Brigitte Pellerin writes here about surrogate motherhood. My favourite part comes in the kicker: 

What bothers me most about it is that it is part of a wider culture that promotes and aggressively encourages anything that lets adults indulge their every whim and fancy. On any given day, countless women go for an abortion while countless others go through invasive assisted reproductive techniques while other women wait to have their uterus chosen to carry someone else’s precious embryo or their ovaries plucked so they can sell their eggs. The only moral standard here is that whatever I want is right, and must be mine. It is not possible to build a coherently decent society on such a basis.

“What I want is right.” (And when I think about it, do I even know what I want?) This is the basis for our abortion-friendly culture. And we call it “women’s rights.” How very empowering.

Brigitte Pellerin is swish

PWPL is proud to report that our very own Brigitte Pellerin is swish. Or at very least, she’s attending a swishy event. She’s on the jury that nominates the winner of the prestigious Shaughnessy Cohen Award for Political Writing and has both a ticket and a dress for this hot, sold out event. No karate kimono tonight.

This revelation spells the end of her self-deprecating “I’m an old goat” series of jokes. Clearly, you are cool and I think the rest of the old goats here would appreciate it if you just came clean.

_______________________

Brigitte is: Thinking about a comeback… I’m sure there’s one somewhere… How about I like being an old goat? Does that work?

Andrea adds: As in, you are an old goat in swishy clothing? Works for me.
