Musky Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 [quote name='paul_5' timestamp='1341409813' post='1718524'] Doesn't that breach employment law on the grounds of being a) sexist and ageist? Just saying... Of course, I'm a bloke in my 30s who's about 8lb too heavy, with nay titties at all, so it might just be me being a bit grumpy. [/quote] There are exemptions if it's considered essential for the job. Being a girl is fairly important requirement for a girl band. Quote

Gust0o Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 I need some more euphemisms for my application. Also, some pictures of a woman. I know this sounds shady, but I need pictures of women with boobs. To prove that I am right for the job. Help a sister out, Basschat. Quote

Let's face it though, having chosen the bass as an instrument I doubt us females on here are girly girls [/quote] I dont feel particularly girly inside. But my genes have provided me with a curvaceous figure and a thin warbly singing voice. Maybe I'm playing bass to compensate!! Lol :-) Quote
EdwardHimself Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 (edited) I don't know. I think drumming would probably be regarded as less "girly" (whatever that means). I personally think girls who play the bass are fantastic; can't stand those ridiculously long fingernails or anything. It's all just crap really, let's face it though, this is not the first band ever to be obsessed with their image. They even admit in their ad they are more bothered about getting famous than actually playing music they like. Well good luck to them. Edited July 4, 2012 by EdwardHimself Quote
