[--] Here’s a selection of rules from the Buffalo Jills’ handbook, as published on Deadspin. It includes an entire section titled “General hygiene and lady body maintenance,” quoted here with typos intact: “Do not be overly opinionated about anything.” “When menstruating, use a product that right for your menstrual flow. A tampon too big can irritate and develop fungus. A product left in too long can cause bacteria or fungus build up. Products can be changed at least every 4 hours. Except when sleeping, they can be left in for the night.” “Do not linger in restrooms having conversations and applying make up at length while other people are using the facilities.” “When you wash, remember where your hands have been while washing, do not transfer dirt or germs to other areas of your body.” “Intimate area’s: Never use a deodorant or chemically enhanced product. Simple, non-deodorant soap will help maintain the right PH balance.” “When trying to ‘capture’ a small piece of food onto a utensil, it is acceptable to use another utensil for aiding it aboard. Never use your fingers.” “Remove make-up every night before going to bed ... Make-up left in the creases of your skin creates early wrinkles.” “Don’t ask for cash gifts as wedding gifts (in print), Rely on word of mouth instead.” Some of the rules read like they come from a 1950s etiquette guide; others, from Leviticus. In any case, the organization seems to have exerted a lot of control over cheerleaders’ lives, on and off the field, while still somehow classifying them as “independent contractors.” [--] washingtonpost/opinions/catherine-rampell-pity-the-nfl-cheerleader-really/2014/04/28/df331bc4-cf08-11e3-a6b1-45c4dffb85a6_story.html
