It means that women should be naked before theyвЂ™re comfortable and vulnerable before theyвЂ™re powerful. It means women are allowed to play musical instruments, but only if theyвЂ™re also willing to use them as a saucy prop, just in case youвЂ™d forgotten for a few seconds that theyвЂ™ve got tits. It means you are allowed to love your body (thatвЂ™s if youвЂ™re a slim, conventionally attractive blond white woman). So what does this particular pose mean? A number of things, actually, none of them particularly heartening.

Thankfully, the band have since made a shit ton of cash, so she can afford all the IRL clothes she needs in case sheвЂ™s ever stuck in Peckham Levels without her undies again.

For a classical twist, why not check out a beaming Grace Chatto of Clean Bandit stranded in a car park with only a violin bra for warmth in the 2013 video for MozartвЂ™s House? A scene so scandalous, it led to her being fired from her job as a school cello teacher. On the flipside, the most demure version comes thanks to the delicate whisper of a skirt that Liz Phair has draped over her thigh as she assumes the position on the cover of her self-titled 2003 album. For that you have to visit Christina AguileraвЂ™s 2002 Rolling Stone cover, in which she doesnвЂ™t even bother with placing the instrument over her bits, instead using a fingerless glove-clad hand (so 2002) to cover a boob while crossing her legs like she was desperate for the loo. вЂњI can play this thing,вЂќ says this brand of pose, вЂњbut playing this thing isnвЂ™t my priority my priority is trying to make sure the photographer doesnвЂ™t get too handsy when he moves the bugger.вЂќД®ven so, itвЂ™s not the raciest version of Lady Posing Naked Behind a Guitar out there. Stripping off, jumping in a large puddle and strategically manoeuvring her body behind an acoustic guitar, we can see neither nipples nor pudenda but plenty of leg, a smidge of sideboob and a Brigitte Bardot bouffant. Now 34 years old, the Sk8er Woman is expressing her maturity by appearing on the cover of Head Above Water, her first album in five years, in moody black and white, like a Camden High Street busker as directed by Fellini. The latest extremely limited variation on a theme dreamed up by a middle-aged record label exec in need of some fresh thrills after his wife ditched him for a hench personal trainer from Potters Bar comes courtesy of Avril Lavigne. Yes, itвЂ™s the never knowingly empowering Lady Posing Naked Behind a Guitar trope. Frankly, this is the only reason we can find for so many having to resort to the rockвЂ™nвЂ™roll equivalent of the Ladies Laughing With Salad stock photo. There is also a lot of fan service and so if you wanna watch some pretty female characters then give it a. It doesnвЂ™t half get warm when youвЂ™re a Woman in Musicв„ў. The show is light-hearted and has some funny moments.

Best naked and funny
