[edit] Jeannie Riley, awards, and miniskirts

I wonder if anyone can find a published source to cite for this ... I saw a PBS special once on women in country music, and Jeannie Riley told a story about an awards show in which she was nominated. Her record company had insisted that she wear a mini-skirt for the many promotional events related to PR for the song, and as the awards show approached, she was excited about the chance finally to wear an elegant, long gown as was her preference. She went out and bought a pricy gown, only to find that at the last minute, people from the record company took it upon themselves to cut the gown's skirt short to make a mini-skirt of it. This would be an interesting anecdote to add to the article, but I'm not sure where to find a reliable source to cite. Lawikitejana (talk) 05:44, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
