In a statement on the <i>She Shreds <\/i>website, founder Fabi Reyna said at the time: \u201cGuitar World\u2019s annual gear guide always reinforced the painful reality of the guitar industry\u2019s historical reputation of using sex and naked women to engage with men\u2014because to a lot of companies the idea of women even playing music was literally unheard of, so how could we be consumers and therefore why would they consider our reactions at all?\u201d <i>Guitar World <\/i>said they\u2019d discontinue the practice. But this week St. Vincent made a hilarious statement on their former ways when she appeared on the cover in one of those touristy bikini shirts.

Some were disappointed she played a DJ set instead of performing, and she wrote a lengthy response. Highlights include: \u201cSome media could not get their head around that I was not \u201cperforming\u201d and \u201chiding\u201d behind desks. And my male counterparts not\u2026 Women in music are allowed to be singer-songwriters singing about their boyfriends.
