Solution to crisis at the Bank of England: Female staff should wear lipstick and high heels
By DAN NEWLING 02nd February 2009
A Bank of England summit held to tell women what to wear has been condemned as sexist
As Britain plunges into its worst recession for 70 years, the economic superbrains at the Bank of England have been asking some searching questions.
But while the vital issues of interest rates and bank bail-outs may have exercised the minds of many financial high-fliers, others have found time to turn their thoughts to an even more pressing agenda.
Like should I wear high heels? or just how much make-up is too much?
Yesterday, it was revealed that female Bank of England economists attended a socalled Dress for Success summit at their City headquarters where they were lectured on what exactly they should wear to the office.

We’d have to see innumerable photos to be able to accurately assess this policy.

It is customary for businesses in the UK, i.e. banks, ect., to wear assigned uniforms (kind of like air hostesses). I guess lipstick and shoes is ‘all they got’.

Wed have to see innumerable photos to be able to accurately assess this policy. And to determine whether any are guilty of violations.

They have been telling British fems what to wear since WWII.
Its never worked, thank goodness. I respect British women a lot more than I do the gurly men in government over there.
Time for the Winston Churchill types to step forward, if there are any left!

Now you had to mention that and it seems that British women are into that sort of thing. Actress Dainielle Lloyd for example. She knows how to dress for success.
