It's funny, Madeline (my wife) is generally contemptuous of babe musicians of any type (especially babe violinists for some reason), but she makes an exception for Yuja!Addendum: So I posted about Munch conducting the Sibelius Seventh Symphony. No babe connection at all, but. . . no response either! ;-)
Another addendum: Quite a few of the responses are IMHO very thoughtfully considered as we all try to come to terms with this brave new world of classical music wherein sex appeal is marketed even more aggressively than musical talent itself. I guess the question we all have at the back of our minds is, as was asked in the Dutch documentary about Janine Jansen, would she have succeeded as much in her musical career if she had been less attractive? My personal view (and I've stated this before) is that there are so many outstanding and accomplished young talents (all of whom deserve successful careers IMHO) that non-musical criteria, such as physical attractiveness, are used to decide who gets the marketing muscle behind them.
