An open letter to the ad people for Opera Southwest.

OK, I'm not in advertising, and so I have no evidence to support this. But when you're selecting a picture to advertise your productions, it seems to me that, unless that's actually the effect you're trying to get, you don't necessarily want to use a picture that makes a beautiful woman look like a drag queen.

This is just a theory, and I will freely admit that I could be wrong.

Thank you for your time.

    It's opera; they do that. At least she doesn't have one of those horned helmets on her head.

    Actually, the Trophy Wife is an operatically-trained spinto soprano, and has sung with that very company.

    Doesn't mean that their ad campaign doesn't need some help.

    Ugh! I was just about to post on that exact topic and then you beat me to it.

    By the way, next time you link to a beautiful woman, can you link to a more beautiful one, please?

We're happy to hear from opposing viewpoints - however, random spewings of racism, homophobia and bile from our teabagging friends will be tossed in the landfill, next to the mouldering corpse of Sarah Palin's political career. And anonymous comments have ended for a while. (My stalker was boring me.)
