LOL!
That's one way to get some beefcake photos posted, I suppose.

I was referring to the messages the guitarist received, but hey, who am I to impede someone else's fun

+1 on the fanny pack. I think I still have one of these in my closet someplace, from when, briefly I insist, I apparently became a complete tool and bought one, in a nice non-confrontational, lame-a** wuss brown leather.

- I privately own and operate a local musical instument repair shop.
I usually wear one my husbands sweatshirts and some baggy sweatpants.
Put my hair in a bun and wear a hat.
Works for me.
But then my sexy still oozes out in my playing but hey, you cant hold that back.

How to turn off the sexy ...
Here's a few ideas
1 - pick your nose on stage
2 - get members of the audience to "pull your finger"
3 - spit between songs
4 - pee yourself
5 - sing like Jerry Lewis
6 - Play Aqualung by Jethro Tull

Closing on 50 myself. They stopped checking me out a while ago. But then again, I haven't been on a stage in many years. The Wife is laughing at me.
Several years ago, I was playing in a Rugby tournament and one of the teams had t-shirts that said "He-Man Women-Haters' Club" on the front.
On the back, in black, all-caps, boldface type, it said "WOMEN ARE PROPERTY".
One of those oughta do the trick...nothing like suggesting you're a raging misogynist to drive the ladies away!

This is so funny, I just sprayed bong water through my nose!
Love how you saved the sure-fire technique for last. MODS, SHUT THREAD CUZ THIS IS TOO FUNNY!
Back in the late 1970s, a guitar player and piano player that I still play with (they're brothers) were playing with a local hotshot bandleader who's band served as a revolving door/training-ground of sorts for a lot of local musicians. This was a good band that got well-paying gigs playing Top 40 at dances and festivals and such. This bandleader even had his own bus, probably a 1940s model, but it was a bus, and so he was even awesomer. The guy sometimes even wore white jump suits onstage like Elvis, and he kept his hair dyed jet black. You get the picture.
Anyhoo, I went to see them once at a County Fair. The stage is set up at one end of a rodeo arena, so there is no "backstage" area, and the show is played with full house-lighting on. The band comes out for an opener song, and then starts vamping the introductory tune for "The Star". The dude comes running out of one of the arena side chutes in all his white-jumpsuited glory, crosses the arena at a full run, and proceeds to trip going up the three wooden steps on the side of the rickety plywood stage. The cat goes spread-eagle into the back of a Porta-B. When he gets to his feet, he has a bloody nose and a huge rip in the knee of his jumpsuit.
Then his knee starts bleeding. The guy does an hour long set with a hanky in one hand to tend to his nose, and an ever-expanding blood spot on whats left of his pants leg. I don't think I've ever laughed harder, first at the physical comedy show provided by a guy who took himself way too seriously, and then while watching the band, most of whom I knew well, trying to maintain their composure.
That performance was a lot of things, but "sexy" was not one of them.

Almost any of the smoking hot looks featured in this link would be sufficient to quell the Sexy:

This, however, is a clear favorite, both in the sexiness of the look presented, and the mental association created by the name:
Thanks to Rtav for finding this vitally important clue to a wide array of sexiness
Edit: Note that the bass player is wearing the aforementioned Worlds Most Effective Form of Birth Control eyeware to complete the sexy.

A text from Teddy, my guitarist today: "Dude, I got a lot of messages this morning about you. You were quite the object of desire last night. I'm gonna have to insist you wear your wedding ring. You're banned from being sexy."
As much as love giving the fans what they want, my #1 fan the wifeyagrees with Teddy.
Oh well. Que sera sera. I guess the big question is, how to turn off the sexy? Ideas?
Reply to Teddy,
Teddy, Bear with me.
This is why I don't plan on getting married till I'm at least 50. Ya just can't have any fun when you're married.
