In ye olde days, in ye olde unenlightened days, it was quite common to open up a guitar magazine and see an advert for a guitar brand that featured a half-naked model draped around the instrument. Those days have gone, but you do often see pretty models with instruments as I guess it is much more pleasing to the eye to see them with said instrument than to see a corpulant, gut-bucket like me standing there with pizza stains on his T-shirt and three-days stubble growth on his chin. Mind you, at least I got to use a blog title that nicked from a Sparks LP (although subtly altered for my purposes).
But I digress…
My attention was driven towards an article on the Daily Mail website that features the daughter-in-law of playwright Tom Stoppard appearing in the all-together in a feeble attempt to advertise a £1 million violin that she’s involved with that’s encrusted with Swarovski crystals. To be honest, the violins look nicer on their own, but at least it gives me a chance to post pictures of half-naked women on my blog…the shame!
Nice violin, shame about the…err…
You can hear more from Linzi Stoppard at her own official website here.
