The Grammy's

             After watching the grammy's on Sunday, I realized that this award show brings in two different types of people. It brings in people who are interested in music and/or fashion. I am going to focus on the fashion aspect of the show. Majority of the women that appear on the grammy's want to leave a statement, a fashion statement. Many of them spend weeks looking for the perfect outfit to wear on this show.  They must feel very pressured to look a certain way for this special occasion, because I know I would.  The Grammy's has become so competitive in the fashion world that many people take the fashion a little too far. And by this I mean that they really want people to remember what they were wearing, no matter how inappropriate or appropriate it was.  This year for the first time, the producers in charge of the grammy's decided to send out a memo to everyone attending the Grammy's.  This memo was about the dress code of this show and how it should be followed to maintain the classiness of the Grammy's.  None the least, many people followed it, but there were a few people that felt that this was the perfect opportunity to rebel against this code.  Many of which felt a little taken back by it, because they felt as if they were taking away something that they looked forward to doing. Do you think the celebrities responded well or do you think they were offended by it?
