Who Said It?

“We love the juxtaposition of playing Mozart while wearing a corset.”
Not something you hear everyday and I’m assuming they mean a corset each. I’m not sure I see the juxtaposition either, come to think of it. Mozart himself probably wore a corset or two when things got freaky backstage after playing the Winter Palace. The Wolfman was a madman in his day, an eighteenth century Andre 3000 or Andy Warhol…bit of a dandy, really. Sort of powdery, you know?

So who the hell said it? Clare Brassil, classically trained musician, that’s who. Yes, that’s right, you can now hire a string quartet to come over and play while wearing lingerie. A quartet in corsets, cello for the fellows, [insert G-string joke]. You can also get super-hero costumes, your standard French Maid and Naughty Nurse, and other fantasy gear. And there are all-male or mixed quartets available too. All this class can be yours for only $1000/hour. Crikey!

The quartet is popular at “40 and 50th birthdays, along with the occasional Hellfire S&M night.”, said Clare.

Wouldn’t want to get those gigs mixed up would you?

hmmm, sorry 'bout that. It would have meant scanning the photo from the paper which I couldn't be bothered with.

Yes I'm sure Lord Google could have spit out something useable, but it wouldn't be the real quartet from the story.

But now I know how much it means to you, I'll try a bit harder in future.

just remember "15 pieces of flare is the bare minimum, if you want to do the minimum, hmmmm, well, that's ok, but we encourage you to do more."
