In the more rural parts of
Ireland you'll often hear
wise old sayings drift
past your ear on a regular
basis and you cant help
but feel like your living
stranded in an old
ancient bygone era that
never caught up on
modern day life at all.
One of my personal favourite
colloquialisms has to be when
you are trying your best to fix
something or sprucing yourself
up to go on a night out,
somebody will tell you "Ach,
your wast ing your t ime you cant
make a sil k purse out of a pigs
ear".
Jokes with a jag are common
place and you develop a thick
skin quickly. In the case we have
here it certainly did become a
silk purse when the one time
destined to be Pig Farmer Jim
Clerkin took the leap forward
into a different kind of business
and ended up the President of
Moet & Chandon & Louis Vuitton.
Proving anything is possible. Jim
invited his daughter Jennifer to
the Golden Globe Awards earlier
this year and we are delighted
she has let us interview her to
hear what her first time
experience was like.
With a stunning dress made by
the very talented young up &
coming designer Eamon McGill
who only had one weeks notice
to prepare his amazing dress for
Jennifer she looked absolutely
stunning and that smile never
stopped gleaming all night. Here
is what Jennifer Clerkin had to
say about life inside the Golden
Globe.
Ach, your wast i ng your t i me
you cant make a si l k pur se
out of a pi gs ear.
