Also banned from Grammy telecast: political and other causes
Back in 2002, Pink, Christina Aguilera and Mya won for "Lady
Marmalade." Would the Grammy wardrobe inspectors approve of their skimpy
clothing?
Attention Grammy
attendees (particularly of the female persuasion): You better tighten
your corsets and zip up your turtlenecks because if you show any kind of
improper skin you’re going to be in wicked trouble with CBS Standard
and Practice.
We have obtained a wardrobe advisory sent to an anonymous source, who
quips, “I assume that my lovely colleagues do not get this same email
for the Oscars. And yes, this is a real email.”
Here is the mail in all its glory:
“GRAMMYS 2013
CBS Program Practices advises that all talent appearing on camera please adhere to Network policy concerning wardrobe.
Please be sure that buttocks and female breasts DIRTY, DIRTY GIRLS are adequately covered. Thong type costumes are problematic WELL, THEY HAVE A POINT THERE.
Please avoid exposing bare fleshy under curves of the buttocks and
buttock crack. Bare sides or under curvature of the breasts is also
problematic. Please avoid sheer see-through clothing that could possibly
expose female breast nipples. AS OPPOSED TO FEMALE FOOT NIPPLES? EAR NIPPLES? Please be sure the genital region is adequately covered so that there is no visible “puffy” bare skin WHAT? exposure. Please avoid commercial identification of actual brand name products on T-shirts. SUCKS TO BE YOU, DOLCE & GABBANA. Foreign language on wardrobe will need to be cleared. DAMN. I GUESS “DU ER ET ENORMT TORSKEHOVED” ISN’T GOING TO FLY THIS YEAR.
Obscenity or partially seen obscenity on wardrobe is unacceptable for
broadcast. This as well, pertains to audience members that appear on
camera. Finally, The Network requests that any organized cause visibly
spelled out on talent’s wardrobe be avoided. DON’T BRING YOUR WHALE-SAVING, CHILD-FEEDING, WAR-STOPPING FILTH TO OUR SHOW. This would include lapel pins or any other form of accessory.”
OK, so the highlighted portions were added editorial comments
