Big bottoms face Olympics ban

Friday, 12 Jun, 2007 0

BEIJING – Women hoping to become hostesses at next year’s Olympic Games medal ceremonies have been warned, “No big bottoms, and cut down on the earrings.”?

Tattoos and earrings tend to look sleazy, while big bottoms could stick out too much, state media reported, quoting officials selecting candidates for medal ceremonies and other protocol activities??

Selection is currently underway to find hostesses for Olympic test events taking place later this year and early next year in the run-up to the August 2008 Games in the Chinese capital??

According to the Beijing News, 208 hostesses are needed for 23 test events in a selection process which, although separate from the Olympics next year, offers successful candidates hope of being considered for the Games?

“We don’t want anyone who looks in any way sleazy because that could really put athletes off,” said Li Ning, principal of Beijing Institute of Protocol, who is heading the selection process?? She said experts were looking for women of uniform height with neat bottoms and minus body art and ear studs.

Glossy skin was another asset?

“Bone structure and height should be uniform,” she said. “For example, we don’t want any wide bottoms.”
