The bright lights of the football stadium will be shining on the Redblacks at this Sunday’s CFL Grey Cup game but, on Monday night, the spotlight went to Nicole Burris, wife of star quarterback Henry Burris.
Burris was one of several women to participate in a fashion show during a Fashion FUNraiser held at Marlene Shepherd’s high-end women’s clothing and accessories store, located in the Ottawa Train Yards shopping district. Shepherd’s regularly holds private shopping and fashion nights for charity.

The evening, sponsored by Omega Laser Therapy, raised funds for Bruyère, an Ottawa health care organization that provides complex continuing care, rehabilitation, palliative care, family medicine services, specialized services and long-term care.
Joining Burris on the catwalk were Bruyère Foundation board members Fiona Gilfillan (chair), Sheila Brady and Barb Perrin, Bruyère patient Kathryn Stagg and Sarah Freemark from CTV Morning Live.
Bruyère Foundation board member and retired Ottawa Citizen editor Sheila Brady was a volunteer model at the Fashion FUNraiser for Bruyère, held at Shepherd’s in the Train Yards shopping district on Monday, November 23, 2015.
The experience was exhilarating for Burris, who’s friends with Bruyère Foundation’s new president, Peggy Taillon. “When you’re up on stage and all the lights are on you and all eyes are on you, it’s intense,” she said, comparing it to how her husband might feel during a game.

Shepherd’s general manager and style guru Samantha Poole was a hoot as she curated the show, spicing it up with some girly talk about bras and bums, and giving away fabulous prizes. Brady gets full credit, though, for her slapstick. She had a minor runway fall, à la Carrie Bradshaw, but carried on good-humouredly.
There were handsome gentlemen on hand to help escort the models to and from the catwalk. Dubbed “the Bruyère Boys”, they included retiring CEO Bernie Blais, incoming CEO Daniel Levac and Dr. Frank Knoefel.

The 130 attendees of the $50-a-ticket event sipped wine from Three Dog Winery and nibbled on hors d’oeuvres from Epicuria while browsing and shopping in the boutique, which was elegantly decorated for the holiday season. For those needing an excuse to spend, 15 per cent of all sales that night were directed to patient care and research at Bruyère, namely Alzheimer’s and dementia.
