Red dress? I saw one lady in shiny black leggings and top, and another lady in black tights and a shiny silverish tunic. (My computer wanted me to say “silverfish”!) A red dress would have been great.
I’m sure their fingers were fine. My husband and a couple of our children are guitarists, and the first thing that happens is your fingers toughen. Maybe at the end of a long show, though ... although my husband only complains when it’s been a few weeks since he had to do a Mass with lots of flamenco flourishes and weird chords. These ladies do this all the time.
Here’s the Gillian Norris clip:
Gypsy, with the beautiful and amazing Gillian Norris.

RE “first thing that happens is your fingers toughen. “
I know, I’m a guitarist too. Bass, guitar, and keyboards as well. Played on stages in nice clubs as well as dive bars.
My fingers get a bit sore now, as I don’t play as much as I used too.
But I can still shred when I want to.. :^)
