Woman Says Lingerie Store Fired Her For Being Too Hot

[damaya]

A woman claims she was fired after being told she was “too hot” to work at a Manhattan lingerie store called “Native Intimates”. According to the woman’s lawyer, Gloria Allred, “Days after being hired, she was told by a supervisor that “‘you are just too hot for this office.’” Allred then said that management suggested to the woman, “Maybe you should wear your boyfriend’s T-shirt and sweat pants.”

3. She could maybe get a job at Bally's Health Club......

....especially if she can crack walnuts with her butt cheeks.





(years ago there was a European ad for Bally's that featured a comely lass who did just that...the ad is still out there on the internets somewhere)

5. Oddly enough, the same thing happened to me.

I got fired and escorted off the premises of a lingerie store for the exact same reason. Oh sure, they claimed otherwise; like it had nothing to do with my looks, and how it was because I didn't actually work there, but I was onto their game.
