Inevitable, really, all things considered. "Babeness" finds its way into being a major component of classical and world music criticism.
"Hi there,
Here is a Dutch journalist writing about babeness in the classical music for the Dutch magazine Vrij Nederland. Babeness is not a brand new phenomenon, but still interesting enough and fairly new for the Netherlands. Questions are: is it possible for a female musician to be succesful - and ugly? And: is being classified as a babe an advantage or a disadvantage?
On your site Sequenza, it struck me what was written about Wu Man: "In addition to being a rightous goodlooking babe, Wu Man is probably the best pipa player alive".
(The journalist got a response, though, didn't he? Read more here, only if you want to.) ¶ 4/12/2005 08:11:00 AM
