"  If you&amp;#039;re a woman in the public eye who appears on news programs it&amp;#039;s incredibly difficult to figure out what level of sexiness to project. In theory you&amp;#039;re appearing on the shows for reasons outside of your looks, and yet it doesn&amp;#039;t take a genius to realize all programming is, at base, entertainment, and people are captivated by beauty. In other words: Sex sells. I tend to dress somewhat conservatively, yet I&amp;#039;ve felt the ire coming from both directions. I&amp;#039;ve been told, via Twitter, that I should be banned from appearing on TV until I &amp;quot;slap on a skirt.&amp;quot; I&amp;#039;ve also been told that it&amp;#039;s impossible to hear what I&amp;#039;m saying because I &amp;quot;dress like a whore.&amp;quot; I&amp;#039;ve been told to tone down my makeup, to ramp up my makeup, that I look great in black, that I should never wear black. Of late I&amp;#039;m hearing I should lighten my hair. But back to sex: I suspect producers rarely suggest their talent wear longer skirts (there are unsavory websites dedicated to capturing news anchors&amp;#039; &amp;quot;upskirts&amp;quot;) and yet the public is so quick to judge a woman appearing on TV whom they deem too scantily clad. I think they want it both ways: to have their news delivered with a side of flesh and then to act shocked and pass judgment. If you&amp;#039;re the one appearing on the programs it&amp;#039;s a no-win situation. A double bind. And something zero men have to deal with. Journalist and TV/internet personality Alison Rosen is host of Alison Rosen Is Your New Best Friend and makes regular appearances on Fox, E!, NBC, CBS, CW11, A&amp;amp;amp;E Bio, and TV Guide Channel, among others. She was recently dubbed &amp;quot;the future of TV&amp;quot; by former AOL chairman/CEO Barry Schuler. She&amp;#039;s pretty sure she doesn&amp;#039;t dress like a whore.
