Although I’m not sure where you’d be able to pin it without getting into trouble:
Lorenzana was fired from a Citibank branch in midtown Manhattan for, she claims, being too attractive. Now she’s suing. Elizabeth Dwoskin at the Village Voice writes:
This is the way Debbie Lorenzana tells it: Her bosses told her they couldn’t concentrate on their work because her appearance was too distracting. They ordered her to stop wearing turtlenecks. She was also forbidden to wear pencil skirts, three-inch heels, or fitted business suits. Lorenzana, a 33-year-old single mom, pointed out female colleagues whose clothing was far more revealing than hers: “They said their body shapes were different from mine, and I drew too much attention,” she says.
As Lorenzana’s lawsuit puts it, her bosses told her that “as a result of the shape of her figure, such clothes were purportedly ‘too distracting’ for her male colleagues and supervisors to bear.”
This hits a little too close to home for me. I had the same problem around the office when I started working at the Daily Caller. Everyone found my perfect body so distracting that they couldn’t get any work done. Turns out, not everybody thinks a mesh half-shirt and Daisy Dukes are appropriate work attire. “Hating me won’t give you cheesegrater abs,” I reminded them, to no avail. Now Tucker Mr. Carlson makes me hide all this goodness under layers and layers of clothing. And flab. At least I get to keep my job, and now I can eat whatever I want.
