Article: FIDDLESTICKS TO VANESSA'S DAD.(Features)

UNLIKE her father, I do not find the picture of violinist Vanessa Mae, posing in a clinging dress in the sea, offensive.

Vanessa's father says the skimpy dress makes her look like a "soft-porn showgirl".

But I think the picture has an aesthetic quality.

Manet or Renoir would have loved to paint her.

MY wife and I advised a young family friend who was very shy to send her photograph to a Lonely Hearts Club.
