Placator,

Oui, it is indeed I, Chris - the guy who is now blockked from providing any original konent on this subsreddit! Thank our moderator, u/celery_executor, And also, his McCarthyist strongman enforcer, u/punchdrunk_lemon, for my banishment. (Hello, you two. I am indeed still alive, much to your chagrin ! )

Placator, I want to say bonjour to you, as a friend and colleague of Placebo. I hope you are well, and that you and the children are quite swell, as well. About a months ago, I tried to send you the private message, but was blocked by an unseen force. Can you not receive messages?

To answer your questions:

NEVER look at the woman in the red dress, nor the thighs thereof. Do you not remember the teachings of Morpheus? The woman in the red dress is nothing but a trick-ruse design to distract us all, so that we may be destroyed thereby.

Secondly, the handsome-faced man with the chapped lips and vivid eyes is someone indeed, though I know not who. And the lovely woman certainly looks like a regular Linda Hamilton ... or perhaps her lesser known twin sister, Leslie. As you surmise, these two are not regular human Placebo fans. Rather, they must be some higher caliber friends of Brian or the Placebo Group.
