May ban car show girls

Models in skimpy dresses who stole the spotlight in past car shows in China may not appear at this year’s Shanghai Automotive Exhibition as the country mulls banning them. “We are soliciting public opinion to improve the exhibition. We haven’t ruled out the possibility of banning auto show girls,” a statement by the organising committee of the Shanghai Automotive Exhibition was quoted as saying by Xinhua.

The organising committee did not give the reason due to which it is considering banning models
in skimpy dresses at the show beginning on April 22, but there have been reports by Chinese media that the organisers are facing mounting security pressure after a stampede on New Year-eve.
