FYI, everybody. I used to be a presenter. My list was based on what we came to expect from performers. We wanted a good show, and we didn't want to lose our shirts.

As for the clothes, when the audience travels and pays money to see somebody, it does not make sense for that person to dress in sloppy, dingy clothes that convey "YOU? You're not worth any time or trouble, not as far as I'm concerned."

I did specify not wearing clothes suitable for turning compost.
