It's because she's trying to capitalize on her ... um ... "sex appeal" ...

Let me clarify by stating I meant this thread needs more boobs in general. Not specifically fbg's boobs.
people--amusingly, preponderantly MALES--had a snit about the early FBG stuff which sometimes used borderline-racy images, e.g. a naked woman's lower body seated spread-legged with a strategically sited Big Muff. the sexy/sexist dialectic has been gone over REPEATEDLY. frankly, i think the real issue was that the boys felt disadvantaged because the attention of the predominantly male guitar user base was more easily captured by an attractive-sounding woman or/and that guys feel threatened when a woman can out-play them. my bottom line is, to me her demos are often quite useful, often moreso than those from the PGS/Prymaxe/SnakeskinBootDude axis.

I'm not sure I completely agree with your take on it, dubs. Any way you slice it, a woman trying to get in on a predominantly male dominated game is going to have a hard time (TWSS). I think it was in the way she went about it. I don't mind gimmicks, almost everybody has one. Her's was just a little bit too much of a gimmick though, at first it almost seemed like it was a joke. It's not my thing, but then again, especially when it comes to "demos", most things aren't my thing.

well, sure, it's a gimmick, or perhaps more accurately a schtick; i also think it is a tongue-firmly-planted-in-cheek sort of joke. i just think it's no more irritating than, e.g., the GearManDude demos, which also feature an invented character. you could argue that PGS Andy is an invented character to some extent.
