Just What Has Brodeur Just Done?

Behold this headshot of picket line-crossing Times' columnist Nicole Brodeur, which runs with her every scribble. Unlike other headshots, this one has an air of fashion to it -- a far cry from the sit and pose stylings of most daily newspaper columnists. Here, it actually looks like Brodeur has just done something. But just what has 'ol Nic just done? Has she just put away the groceries? Just finished mowing the lawn? Just watched Shakes the Clown's DVD extras? Just gotten home from a paintballing excursion with the Blethen clan? Just finished banging out a column about herself? Just been fucked? Just what? Pray tell.
