@djjd62,
Have you never been strip-mining. That's when you find a seam just below the surface and strip off the covering layer and once you're on the seam you dip your bread in.
I saw Mandy Rice Davies stripped off once. She came on stage in a smokey and rather intimate club I was a member of dressed like a senior executive in a large retail consortium. A chap, a bit seedy looking to say the least, brought a chair to the back of the stage which was ill lit. She then doffed off like any senior executive might before having a bath to relax from the stresses of another day having to keep up the pretense of knowing what is going on. All the items of apparel were neatly folded and carefully placed on the chair. She re-shoed, very high heels, to avoid her buttocks sagging, and walked slowly into the illuminated section of the stage no more than five feet from where I was sitting. I had reserved a place for political reasons.
She then sang a few songs inexplicably tunelessly in order to allow us to have a good look at the machine that had brought a government to its knees. It was ginger. Mandy was touring the nation to bring the message to as many people as possible and it certainly wasn't lost on me.
Rebecca Brooks/Wade is ginger only more flaming.
