The 2013 Grammy Awards organizers on wednesday sent a message to all artists who are scheduled to perform at the show this year to: “Please be sure that buttocks and female breasts are adequately covered.” the memo from CBS’ standards and practices department said. “Thong type costumes are problematic. Please avoid exposing bare fleshy under curves of buttocks and buttock crack. Bare sides or under curvature of the breasts is also problematic.”
The memo's full text:
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. Wardrope memo ridiculed by stars
There shouldn’t be problems with acts like Alicia Keys, Taylor Swift, Justin Timberlake, Frank Ocean, The Black Keys, Carrie Underwood, Ed Sheeran, and Bruno Mars performing, but Rihanna is also performing, and she’s always a threat to wear something skimpy, but I’m sure she got the message right-or someone should emphasize it in a Barbadian accent.
It’s happening on Sunday night on CBS. Grammy Awards will be aired live from the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
