What the heck do they mean by "coordinating colors not allowed"? What are "coordinating colors"? What I think they are are colors that, well, go well together. Why would that not be allowed?!

"Classy" & "bright" aren't usually used in the same sentence when applied to clothes. I'm not saying they shouldn't be, but they usually aren't. So what the heck does this all mean.


J! said "wear to an audition what you would wear on the show". And a lot of people at the J! aud looked more casual than I would have thought they would, but the interviewers liked them just fine, anyway (better than they liked me, from their interactions with them; the interactions were based on personality & liftable stuff from their biography sentences. But then that was J!, & this is back in BAM loony-tunes again.).

Hah! I blew right by this before. Yeah, what could it mean? Shouldn't it say "clashing colors not allowed"? At one time, BAM called for "jewel tones" b/c they were going for a certain look, but that was a long time ago.

I recently interviewed for another game show, and the peeps doing the interviewing were perfectly ecstatic over a neon green suede blazer worn with black pants. I guess that could be classy and bright.

I just read the original dress code post again. Could it mean that if you're attending with someone else, the two of you can't be all match-matchy?

I think we need Tim Gunn.

Since the end of the PAF lifeline, it means that colors are no longer allowed to coordinate their answers but must answer independently. --Bob
