Although Inez is known to most here as a mild mannered blogger of the most magnificent, photographic, artistic, and literary finds; what few realise is that in Poland she has another slightly wilder life as lead guitarist for the well known punk rock band Dezerter. A frantic and uptempo ensemble that perhaps explains why she likes to kick back and relax here on SU. Of course as well as this she was a leading light (some might say a firebrand!)in the Komitet Obrony Robotników a group of intellectual dissidents that strongly backed Lech Wałęsa’s Solidarność movement in the 1980’s, once holding back an entire batallion of riot police armed with nothing but a rolled up newspaper.
Some speculate that after a brief tete a tete with the director Krzysztof Kieslowski she may have been the role model for several of his leading ladies. But only the nice ones.
Of course what is known to fewer people still is that she is actually my daughter… well, you can forgive me for being a little shy about that, don’t really want to give away my age 🙂
