It's inventive. And she's cute and unaffected. Someone should hire her as a developer. This might avtually be turned into something and find its home recording niche.

Or perhaps Kraftwerk need a bass player.

The headstock is too boring compared to the body, needs some 20/20 love.

No doubt at least some days during the month, healthy-looking lass she is.

Her name is Jeri Ellsworth and she's a well known Maker who seems to specialize in C64 hacks.  Smart and pretty.

I admire her creativity and knowledge of electronics.  Some day I need to figure something beyond Les Paul wiring!

She's pretty cool- self-taught, school of hard knocks, former mechanic and race car builder turned embedded systems designer.  Works for Valve Software now (gaming company)

Love what she did with that bass above!  There's a whole subculture around that "chiptunes" stuff - making music with the old 8-bit computers

Fertility symptoms aside, whoever hired her did a smart move. Nothing wrong with intelligence packaged nicely.

"Drapes and carpet match", Mark you are a one-track-mind altes Ferkel!

altes Ferkel? Redheads?

Makes me think of the Farkel family from Laugh-In with the red-haired children who all looked just like the red-headed guy next door.

Well, since I have inherited some degree of color-blindeness from my grandfather, I can't be sure for myself. Maybe 60%-70% positive.
That's the main reason I don't talk much on topics about Pilgrim's blue/purple thingie... ;)

Aw, see,there's the rub!  Those of us that aren't color blind all know that thingie is purple :P ;D

And, Mark, her skin tone is suggestive of being naturally a ginger ;)

I believe that carpet is nearly extinct these days.  I showed a late 1970s Penthouse magazine to a 20-something guy in one of my bands and he virtually ran from the room screaming.

  Think you're right Mark, tho my on-again- off again GF certainly makes a statement to the former  ;)
