Scarlet Manuka:
I voted for Marten, Dora, or Sven. Dora would probably be the best, since she's been in the business world for quite a while and knows the ropes. Marten is a pretty sensible guy when he's not deliberately being silly as he is here. Sven has made a career of selling crappy songs and those skills should be transferable.
But it depends on your definition of "best". Yay Newfriend would write terrifyingly effective cover letters. But the cover letter isn't really supposed to be about blackmail or intimidation.
Bubbles would do fairly well, but has a tendency to be over-formal. Faye has the opposite problem, and might find it hard to resist trying to liven up the cover letter with a bit of inappropriate humour.
Pintsize? I fail to see how anyone could imagine that to be a good idea. Melon would be better.
Video cover letters are a thing now? Ugh. There are few things I find as irritating at work as having to sit through a video to access content that could just as easily have been presented as text which I could have read at easily 10 times the rate, especially if the video can't be skipped or at least sped up (hello mandatory training courses).
Sometimes video content is used to present materials that couldn't be presented as well (or at all) another way. I don't have a problem with that. But far too often it's just someone talking you through what is effectively a Powerpoint presentation, or even just a text document. (News outlets often do this too.) I have better things to do with my time, give me the content in a format that allows me to read it at my own pace; as a bonus, I'll likely pay more attention to it because I won't be trying to do something else in another tab at the same time while I wait for your droning voice to get to the point.
BenRG:
I suppose Bubbles wouldn't be Bubbles if she wasn't anxious about Faye's feelings. I do like how Faye handled it: She didn't answer the question at all but turned it around to the important point: It's the complete Bubbles package that attracts Faye, not just the physical.
It helps that Faye fundamentally doesn't like May on a personality level. No chassis upgrade will change that!
As a child of the 70s, yes, I did my time looking at Kate Bush in shocked wonder. However, my strongest thought about her was genuine surprise that, singing it or not, she'd never been in a dramatisation of Wuthering Heights. Yeah, well, I was 4 years old. Book? Old book you say? :-P
Just to say that, if Faye can mimic Kate's falsetto in karaoke, then then she's got a much higher-pitched voice than I expected!
Thrillho:
Kate Bush is gorgeous. I would argue she still is now.. Let's compare notes, Bubs
DaiJB:
Young Kate Bush? I can understand that :-D
I remember seeing a head-and-shoulders poster of Ms. Bush when I was young :-o - couldn't afford it at the time, could never find it again when I finally had the money. I think I spent a good decade searching poster shops for it :roll:
I guess you'd call that 'besotted'.
JoeCovenant:
Let me just say this...
Kate is MINE, you buggers... beat it !!!! :-D
Loved Kate from day one :) But, didn't go to the "Before the Dawn" shows when she did her 2nd ever run of shows a couple of years back. Not because I couldn't get tickets (I could have) but because it would have cost me upwards of a grant to be able to go. :(
And I am a bit miffed at her not allowing the multi camera, HD, pro shot video of the shows to be released... why bloody bother shooting it, then???
