You just fell for the oldest trick in the book: give her a call & see if she looks like that in this reality

I've accepted quite a few requests from agents on linkedIN and my hobby is looking through their CV's to see which arts degree they've chosen.

I'd say over 50% have come from a music background into small locals sales then into corporate sales and finally into IT recruitment.

as for the pictures - I've sometimes wondered if there's a bit of "honey pot" going on as the target candidate is generally a 30+ male...

Nick, another bit of useless info is - the owner named the company after two big film stars of his generation - John Wayne and Deborah Kerr......the slang term associated with the combo did not exist at that time...what a brand
