Hot women who like PF on FB!

[faulty_damper]

Yeah, if you have time, you should check out the FB social plugin on the main page.  Some of those women are kinda hot!  I wonder if they actually play the piano... 'Cause these women, if they became performers, could really bring classical piano music into pop culture.

And if you are one of these hot women, PM me!

Someone needs to get a life...
But I do agree that we need more Yuja wangs in short dresses.

I meant that the classical sphere needs people with comparable charisma ands sexual confidence, who have a strong sense of self-expression and are are willing to challenge the views of conservative audiences.

Do you really expect there to be a Lara St. John of the piano?  What she did for classical violin, if there was one for the piano, would make piano popular amongst the lay crowd.  But that's my point.  Instead of these stupid competitions, which are probably rigged, there should be a piano beauty pageant competition.  The only piece they need to be able to play is "Chopsticks" during the swimsuit portion of the competition.

Come on, let's not go overboard with this...there's a reason why classical music hasn't fallen down the path of mainstream and let's keep it that way. Part of yuja wang's attractiveness is not only her looks but her independence and ability to stand tall within the classical music world which has notions of outdated and pompous views. But I wouldn't go as far as to say that we need bikini models standing next to pianos at the piano dealer to help promote the uptake of classical music by the mainstream folks.

But even you imply that such tactics would work.  I mean, Lara St. John propelled herself into the spotlight, and a major record label, through her... um... assets.

Classical music is kind of stuffy.  Have you been to a recital recently?  How many gray tops were sitting in the audience?  Or is it that classical music is only appreciated en masse by the elderly?

There are bikini models standing next to uber expensive exotic sports cars.  Why not bikini models standing next to pianos that are just as expensive?  That would definitely get the attention of anyone.  Isn't that why Yuja wears such short attire?  It's not a bikini, but it's just a couple of inches away from one.

I'm not sure if such a confusing marketing strategy would work, nor would the profundity of classical music be compatible with the superficiality of the entertainment industry

Lmao, this is creepy as ***, but I have noticed quite a large number of beauties on the main page. Occasionally I click on their profiles to "check" em out. Occasionally.

[theholygideons]

It would be more creepy if we were a bunch of retired 60 year old seniors with seedy moustaches

Whats wrong with mustaches?

AND, what about the HOT men who like PF on FB?  Yeah, I don't think there are any.  Maybe we need to go to the gym to find those.  Cause you know, men playing piano... 
But men pumping iron!  

Now if you can imagine a body builder playing piano...
...
...
BAM!

Okay, so maybe that's not the kind of effect I was hoping for.

[mjames]

Yeah, I don't think there are any.  Maybe we

I was just thinking that even though all the sexy stuff makes classical music look like a sell-out, I think that it's vitally necessary to help bring attention to this genre.  If these sexy or hunky (are there even any real hunky male pianists?) were able to attract larger crowds than traditional pianists, that would be good publicity because of the halo effect.

Take Yundi Li, for example.  He's not hunky but some women find him attractive enough that they don't care what he sounds like.  His looks has helped sell many tickets, I'm sure, and this is good for concert organizers and record labels.  The only problem with Li is that in the US, asians tend to be looked down upon and derided.  So we need a white version of Li that would better propel classical music to the mainstream spotlight.

And no, I do not mean Maksim.
But...
If fireworks work at attracting an audience, why not?

Or better yet, hire swoons of women to throw their underwear on stage like they did for Liszt.  That would make for a great publicity stunt!  And since popularity is often manufactured, I wouldn't be against any kinds of gimmicks like this.

Plenty of sexy contemporaries, like Rafael Blech-something, Yundi etc

pretty boys that make me jealous

To be honest, neither are generally very hot...

But it seems the combination is not unique 

[faulty_damper]

So where do we find such hunk?  A ballet class?  That kind of flexibility, while impressive, isn't very helpful at sitting on a bench.

That guy's going to get armpit sweat on the piano keys. 


Looks like training to be a Bond villain henchmen.  He's even got the name. 



"Mr. Barto?  Simon?  Yes, you.  When you finish that polonaise, would you kill Mr. Bond, please?  And then you can tidy up Mr. Piddleworth's litterbox."
Mr Barto, cracking knuckles, tilting head and cracking neck.

Yet, Symphonies and Opera Houses/Companies are still closing, the general audience is still not actually getting any younger, and the applicability of Classical Music to modern concerns, as well as the future of Classical music, are still a mystery.

Excuse me but I am quite fit and handsome myself

Please post a picture of you and a piano then!

And if he really is hunky, I'll manage him and we can take the classical piano world by storm!  Imagine all those bras on stage....  it will definitely be a workplace hazard!

I don't wear bras and I like to keep my panties on, so I'd need to get more creative so show my appreciation 

[senanserat]

Fine, but should I strike a pose?

A little less than what Mr. Barto did would be sufficient...
Don't drop too much clothing though...one has to leave something for imagination

I'm not a hulk anyway XD I'm just just turned 19. But handsome as the devil! (My mommy told me so D;)

By the way love the expression on his face, it yells:

"I'm about to get sexually assaulted by hot semi naked woman and I don't even care"

What is wrong with the 60s / You still love women ya know, we haven't died yet ? And you young guys are  headed no place but right here where I am now , in my 60's. You young guys testosterone is in an uproar, you need to knock the level down a little. A truly beautiful woman glows from the inside out. Ya it's great if she's built nice but that part is only skin deep, you need the other part as well. You're acting like putty in a beautiful sculptress's hands and believe me , she will know that ! Foolish kids, playing with fiery beauty.. And they are beautiful, just probably smarter than you are, especially if one can sucker you into a $30,000 plus purchase.
