Halftime lingerie show scrapped

A lingerie fashion show scheduled for halftime during the 2011 Class Board's Super Bowl-watching party in Salomon 101 was canceled in a game-time decision Sunday night.

The event fell through when about two-thirds of the models dropped out at the last minute, said Neil Parikh '11, sophomore class president.

At one point, there were 15 potential models slated to appear in the show. They had even held a rehearsal, Parikh said, but as of Sunday morning only six were still willing to participate.

"It wouldn't be fair" to put on a lesser performance, said Salsabil Ahmed '11, a class board representative. The Class Board felt they owed it to the models and Brown to put on a good show, she added.

There are plans to revive the idea in the future, Ahmed said. "If we did a separate event, we could really put in all our efforts."

One possible opportunity would be during Spring Weekend, Parikh said.

The audience in the sparsely populated auditorium let out a collective noise of disappointment when Parikh announced the news at the start of halftime.

Instead of the fashion show, the audience watched the televised official halftime show, featuring Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band. The rest of the viewing party went on as scheduled.
