A Leather-Clad Contestant On Mastermind
I know it’s Celebrity Mastermind, as opposed to the more normal pleb version, but in all the years I’ve watched the program, I’ve never seen a female contestant in a short leather dress.
Years ago, C and I discussed this, as we saw another set of dowdily dressed women on the program. She always dressed well for Court and very much believed that dressing well always gave her an advantage. Especially with a difficult case. Even if it was just about her self-confidence.
I’ve also heard another legal story, where a commercial solicitor had a very expensive, short suit to give her usually male clients the bad news. The person, who told me this tale, always knew, when this suit was getting an outing, the way her colleague’s case that day was going.
Mastermind too, has had its fair share of male winners doing ordinary jobs, but female winners have usually been academics or those that work with their brains.
I’ve never seen a lady on the program, who was stood out from the crowd, dressed well and gave her profession as shop assistant, receptionist or barmaid.
But Adele Silva played it hard in a dress to match the chair, with heels as high as the dress was short. She did reasonably well, so did her style of dress give her confidence? And did it put off her opponents?

She was bright and sexy, I don’t know about the other contestants, but the leather dress put me off listening to the questions!

Reading about Adele Silva, she seems to be a girl, who’ll have a go at anything. I think we might find she not a good looking bimbo, but a very good looking intelligent actress.
She could be using Mastermind and the upcoming Splash with Tom Daley as an upmarket casting couch without any trace of the tacky. It’ll be interesting to see where she is in a few years time. looking at what she’s done in her Wikipedia entry, says that she has the A Factor; ambition.

I think if my wife had still been here, she’d have been saying something similar. But then she often wore that style of dress, but not in leather and not that short. But then C had very well toned arms from all the swimming she did.
