CBS, the network that will be running the Grammy Awards on Sunday, have issued an email to all performers and attendees that will appear on camera that they have a strict dress code. They don’t want to see your ass, breasts, nipples, camel toe, moose knuckle, junk in the trunk, badonk-a-donk AND any pins or attire supporting a cause or movement. They’re apparently anti-thongs and tight clothing that shows off the curves and or accentuates the fact that they exist at all. Don’t we watch these broadcasts to see the “stars” in revealing clothing and perhaps the occasional Janet Jackson wardrobe malfunction. Don’t try and pimp your personal cause either. They’re on that too!

Subject: 55th GRAMMYS: Standard And Practice Wardrobe Advisory
-kindly confirm receipt of s&p standards-
***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 are adequately covered. Thong type costumes are problematic. 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. Please be sure the genital region is adequately covered so that there is no visible “puffy” bare skin exposure. Please avoid commercial identification of actual brand name products on T-shirts. Foreign language on wardrobe will need to be cleared. 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. This would include lapel pins or any other form of accessory.”
