Memo to grown women: Please be sure the genital region is adequately covered...


Being in the spotlight has got to be tough. At any given moment unfortunate photos of you can be snapped and shared at light speed.
Now, if you know that millions of people will be watching you, it might be a good idea to wear clothes that cover everything you don't want seen.

Wardrobe malfunctions happen so we all must do our part to help the victims. If you happen to see an unflattering photo of Beyonce's Super Bowl performance, her publicists have asked that you not share the photo. Like this one for example:


Sometimes a girl just can't help it when part of her labia hangs out of her carefully selected stage outfits lingerie.

There hasn't been a Super Bowl half time show to be excited about in a long time. And for us, we prefer to have a team from the NFC North in the game, in particular the Packers. We'll root for the others though, even the Vikings if, well...you know. But we didn't have much else going on so we tuned in this year to watch the battling brothers.

When Janet Jackson's boob was mysteriously exposed in 2004 we weren't in the room. It was just our son who was seven at the time. Not a big deal, it's a boob. He doesn't even remember it. 

This year, however, he's sixteen and was watching with his two younger sisters next to him on the couch. Now, I don't know for sure if his normal biological nature kicked in but I'm sympathetic to the plight of the average sixteen-year-old boy who struggles with the wind blowing much less a strip tease on the big screen in front of him.

RLB came in the room half way through and asked how it was going. I told him the poor girl is in heat and has had to resort to rubbing her own self, the least they could have done was give her a pole. 

Now, I give the girl mega props for keeping a bod as fit as she has (a year after giving birth) and I like a lot of her music. But this show did nothing to show her talent. We've seen her dance much better than this. And headbanging to "Halo"? It was lost on me. 

I'm no prude either, one of my favorite performances of this kind is Pink's 2010 Grammy performance of "Glitter in the Air". Demonstrating that an artist certainly can combine erotic with unbelievable talent: 

You won't see that this year unless there are a few rebels that will go against CBS's memo: "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."

Oh, every last bit of it makes me laugh.

  1. It's funny how Celine Dion never had to do any of these tings.

  2. I find the Pink thing to be erotic...the Beyonce thing to be porn. Presentation is everything.

    I find Songs of Solomon to be erotic...I find 50 Shades of Grey to be porn.

  3. Check out the Vigilant Citizen's breakdown of all the Satanic imagery and themes of not only Beyonce's half time SB performance, but Madonna's literal Black Mass at the 2012 SB.

    LOL, that made me laugh!

    But in all seriousness, I think that some of the wardrobe malfunctions might actually be staged on purpose to generate controversy. There's no bad publicity, as they say.

  5. "her publicists have asked..."

    For a second, I thought that said "pubicists."

  6. I completely missed the halftime show, but from what I'm hearing I shouldn't complain. The Go Daddy "kiss" ad made me gag.

    With what Hollywood-types pay to have firm fleshy curves I guess they assume they have the prerogative to display them. You'd hope they would have enough dignity to keep the puffy parts tucked in without being reminded. :)

  7. The labia hanging out is the least of the problems with that pic. Yikes!

  8. My first thought after seeing it was that she appeared to be demonically posessed. Her face was very strange, her manner very male, hyper erotic and angry. I was waiting for her to lift her leg and pee on the audience.

    She appears so different when in interviews and has admitted openly that some kind of force takes over her when she performs and when she watches it back she has been very embaressed.

    I think there is more here then meets the eye.
