Tznius at the Grammys

We've all heard it for years: "Frum girls these days have a problem with tznius. We need to crack down on them now, to fix the problem. Skirts too short, legs too bare, clothes too tight, etc".

We all thought, 'ya ya, okay, so we can be better, but at least we don't dress like them'- them being 'the outside world'. We don't dress like girls looking for a good time, we don't show all we've got.

But the world finally got the memo- tznius is not just for frum girls anymore. Sit up and take notice.

In a memo sent out to the guests of this years Grammy awards ceremony, there are now strict dress codes in place. In short, the memo says what we all already know- that your private parts need to be kept private. As they say, common sense isn't all that common.

The website that leaked the memo, Deadline.com wrote: "Isn’t it pointless for CBS Standard And Practice to issue this ‘Wardrobe Advisory’ in advance of the 55th Annual Grammys broadcast this Sunday when nudity is the norm at that awards show?"

This is true. Who will actually abide by this? Will there be peer pressure to follow the rules, or peer pressure to defy the rules? After the Grammy awards on Sunday, there were countless articles about the stars that 'didn't get the memo', and showed too much flesh.

Do they enjoy showing off their private body, or are they so used to the pressure of competing, that when it comes down to it- they simply have a problem covering up?

I think we can all take a lesson from this when the world sits up and says- enough is enough. It is time to enforce the rules.
