Scandals and Secrets: Bridgerton

Dearest Gentle Readers, It is that time of year again, where members of London's high society are returning from the countryside for the upcoming wedding season. After many successful (and unsuccessful) unions, we have come to see the true colors of mamas and courtesans alike, and all the more is only destined to be revealed. As insignificant as the nuptials of young adults may feel, it is so much more to these people. The norms of high society life are constantly changing, and more than ever, people will be making grasps for new titles, rewriting history, and attempting to build the most unexpected unions. Having lived in luxury and been protected by ignorance for so long, the ton must now take into consideration the outside world and political climate when making decisions for their personal gain. Though there will be unions to form and weddings to plan, it will be impossible to overlook the power struggles that lurk beneath and the reputations that are constantly at stake. With the condition of the King worsening, Queen Charlotte is as impatient as ever, and will not stand for anything less than perfect. Every move must be carefully constructed, for members of the ton are never off the hook. This author plans to make things interesting for you, as I am sure you will for me. Yours Truly, Lady Whistledown




Sabrina Baur

Chair

My loyal subjects, my name is Sabrina Baur (she/her), and I am delighted to be your Chair (Queen Charlotte) for Bridgerton; it is my pleasure to welcome you to this uniquely captivating and historically inspired committee. Soon you delegates shall gather with an air of excitement, dressed in your finest diplomatic attire. Little did you know the true extent of the scandal that is about to unfold. My dear readers, the world of Model United Nations may be a far cry from the ballrooms and soirees we are accustomed to, but make no mistake—it is a world rife with ambition, intrigue, and scandal. As I pen this letter, I can only imagine the consequences that will unfold in the days to come. A few tidbits about myself! I am a junior scholar of Cognitive Science from Zurich, Switzerland, who embraces a passion for new foods, obscure language facts and fulfills the role of a devoted Big to my Little Jasmine. Anticipation fills the air as the enigmatic individual behind these words hints at their involvement in a committee, wielding an aura of intrigue. With veiled intentions and an air of authority, they eagerly await the unfolding of events, relishing the opportunity to challenge and test the resilience of their fellow committee members.

Best,
Sabrina Baur

Jasmine Mah

Crisis Director

Dearest Delegates, my name is Jasmine Mah (she/her) and I am delighted to welcome you to the Bridgerton committee! Much like the show, we wanted this committee to be filled with lots of juicy gossip, scandalous relationships, and vicious backstabbing. I am really interested to see how you all take advantage of the non-traditionalities of this committee and make it your own! A little about me: I am a sophomore at Cal from San Francisco and I am studying Sociology and Public Health. I've been doing MUN for about 2 years now and it's become a huge part of my life. In my free time outside of MUN, I spend my time at the gym, working with different art mediums (painting, photography, graphic design :3), and listening to almost every genre of music.

Best,
Jasmine Mah
