Aline Brosh-McKenna Talks Screenwriting, Motherhood and More

December 13, 2011 By Chelsea

 

After having the opportunity to screen We Bought a Zoo on the Fox Studios Lot, a film based on the true story of author Benjamin Mee’s book of the same title, Breezy Mama was treated to a group interview with screenwriter Aline Brosh-McKenna, also known for writing The Devil Wears Prada, 27 Dresses and many more popular movies. As she sat at the front of the screening room, she gave the scoop on what it’s like to spend your days writing movies, whether she took some liberties with reality since the film is based on Mee’s raising kids/running a zoo/coping with the death of his wife, working with Matt Damon and more.

Where do you begin? I mean, you have the book and then where do you begin with writing the film?

Sometimes it’s not really that different from when you’re writing anything and when you’re telling your friend a story about like, “You’re not going to believe what happened yesterday.” You sort of innately pick the most salient detail. For me it was about the getting ready in the morning and how you get ready in the morning and how a dad gets kids ready in the morning as opposed to the way a mom gets kids ready in the morning.

Bella Materna Anytime Nursing Bra

February 28, 2009 By Alex

bella-maternaWhen I was pregnant with my first child, I thought that I needed to have a supply of nursing bras for when he came into the world. I went online, saw that Medela made some (and thought—Medela? don’t they make a pump? They must be good.) and ordered a couple in my size. I wore the bras for a solid year, never questioning them. That was until I broke them out again for the birth of my second child. As I put them on for the first time (again) I thought, “I don’t remember these being so, well, big,” and shrugged my shoulders and finished getting dressed. It went that way for about a month until I finally realized that there MUST be something a little more feminine and maybe, dare I say, sexier, in the nursing bra market. I went to my local (newly opened) breastfeeding store, Milkalicious, where I found it—the Bella Materna bra. I tried it on and it was as if the angels above started singing. First, they actually had one in my size (very hard to find) and Yes! it was cut low enough to not show above the neckline of my shirt and Yes! it was sexy and Yes! it didn’t have the nursing tabs—you just pull it open and whip out the boob. All this with complete support and lift! It changed my life, and it can change yours too.
