Two season passes to the Minnesota Orchestra’s 2013-2014 subscription season will be awarded to the first person correctly to identify the American cellist in the above photograph, shown guzzling booze in public.
I have never encountered a more flattering photograph of this particular artiste, what with her hair concealing her face, abetted by the indoor use of sunglasses. Never before has she looked even one-half as presentable.
Might I suggest, as a courtesy to audiences, that she adopt similar blandishments for all future concert and recital appearances?
Weilerstein?
ReplyDeleteYes, indeed, the cellist is the lustrous Alissa Weilerstein. However did you guess?
ReplyDeleteI have never seen Weilerstein more beautifully presented!
(And I assure you the photo is genuine.)
Alisa, not Alissa.
ReplyDeleteI don't know why I have been sticking an extra "s" into her name of late. Perhaps because she's so fat?
Yes, it was a most difficult guess on my part. The glasses wee a dead giveaway: Celebrities in show business always wear dark glasses in bars in order discourage their fans from falling over themselves while seeking autographs.
ReplyDeleteThe prolonged sibilance occasioned by your misspelling is a telling metaphoric onomatopoeia, don't you think? A Freudian slip no doubt.
Here is my defense: I was so blinded by her beauty, I lost my ability to spell.
ReplyDeleteDo you think anyone will buy that?
I don't.
DeleteOK.
ReplyDeleteThen I must confess: I have been drinking too heavily of late to spell.
In fact, it was I who emptied all the beer, wine and cocktail glasses seen on the table in the Weilerstein photograph.
And a very, very Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!
ReplyDeleteMay you and Josh and your entire family have a restful and happy Thanksgiving Day tomorrow!
