Chris, why single out Olga Kern? I mean, I'm not overly wowed by her musicianship, but .... Do you think the other female stars do NOT have personal groomers on tour with them, hovering about to fix their hair, fix their dress, fix their makeup? Do you think Yuja would be wearing those skimpy dresses if her label/agency handlers did not heartily approve as part of their marketing promo ploy? Do you think she doesn't have a groomer on tour with her? In my experience on the board of several orchestras over the years, you would be hard pressed to find any female star who just buys her dress off the rack, puts on her shoes, combs her hair and walks out on stage. The stars all have personal groomers or "advisers" or "companions" traveling with them. And male stars are not immune.
