Just seen this. Yes a good article, so well done Daily Mail. Let's just hope they don't turn on Hayley like they did on poor Katherine.
I didn't think the picture was very relevant though. What have scooters and Rome got to do with Hushabye. But then I suppose the DM is always looking to publish photos of attractive young women showing their legs...

I don't see it as a negative for them to show this photo, though I personally would have chosen something different. Maybe some prudes would find it offensive, or some ridiculous people would use it as an excuse to criticize her. But, I think it's good to show some glamorous photos of her once in a while. It impresses people and captures their attention. It's not as if the photo is really indecent, or anything. Certainly nothing I'd be comfortable wearinng myself, but I have no problem with Hayley wearing it in a photo shoot if she felt comfortable with it.

I agree Libby, nothing against the photo at all. The whole Paradiso photoshoot was superb. But perhaps I have seen more of the Daily Mail than you, and I know they will always try to "spice things up" with a bit of sex. If that image helps more people to discover Hayley, that's good. My only gripe is it could give the wrong impression, Hayley is a musician, and a very fine one. Any idea that tries to portray her as some sort of glamour model who is using music to promote her career is missing the point. That choice of photo says more about the Daily Mail than it does about Hayley.
