Same old erroneous statement.
Vanessa was never publicity photo'd in a wet T-shirt.
It was a statement written by a disgruntled classical music critic when Vanessa's Toccatta & Fugue video was released in Late Dec 1994 and was looking to become a classical hit.

BTW: Vanessa was wearing a modest white 1-piece swimsuit the a long sheer fabric sleeveless sundress over it. Ok, the sundress was wet and to could see Vanessa's legs through it. So this was enough to allow the critic to exaggerate the picture in the most degrading way he could.

So now clueless ppl read that little "defining bit" of info on Vanessa and take it as fact. "Cause its cool to write something spicy". Too bad ppl are too lasy to write their own intro or check the facts of what they read.

Remember, just because it is written, doesn't mean it is correct.

Maybe I'll (or other) will post the pic that generated this "wet T-shirt" comment. BTW: the pic is in your Violin player CD.

Computer Geek Tip-of-the-Day:

1. Hold down the "CTRL" key and press "Prt Scr" key once. This copies the image of the current program window into computer memory.
2. Click on "Start"; point to "Programs"; point to "Accessories"; click on "Paint".
3. Hold down the "CTRL" key and press "V" key once. This pastes the image of the current program into the Windows Paint program.
4. Hold down the "CTRL" key and press "S" key once. Choose a name for the image. If possible, choose a JPEG as the file type. This creates a sharper picture than a web cam.

I agree completely with Glenn in every aspect.

Referring to the so-called wet T-shirt photo is done by people that don't want to conduct their own research in a proper way, and it is an easy liner for critics to demonise our Vanessa-Mae.

BTW, the cover photo of the Violin Player album is one of a large series that were shot duirng the making of the T&F video clip.

As Vanessa-Mae always says herself, the video and the photos are pure and honest. She has every reason to be proud on this accomplishment.

May I add, Vanessa at the time was only 15 yrs old this makes
her a minor. Has she grew up in the UK she would have been
breaking the law.
As with most countries a minor is not allowed to appear nude
in any form for any type of media.

I thought that she was 16, and in the UK, during the time of the T&F video shoot. VP was released in 1995, VM turned 16 in October 1994.

Toccata & Fugue video was shot in late summer 1994 before Vanessa's 16th Birthday.
Production on the CD continued into November, the video was release at the end of December 1994. The CD was released in Jan 1995 in the UK.
That is how I remember the timeline.
