Sure they're hot but can either of them tie a knot in a cherry stem with their tongue?

Two cocktail cuties at The Standard say they got canned for not fitting the mold of "willowy, svelte and statuesque runway models" at the trendy hotel's Boom Boom Room.
Aspiring actresses Faye Rex and Stephanie Jaggers are suing the Meatpacking District hotel, claiming management sees fit to employ only women with runway model looks at its sexy playpen above the High Line.
"There's definitely a type at the Boom Boom Room - and that type is beautiful, tall and skinny," said Richard Roth, a lawyer for the women. "Compare that to the men."
Rex and Jaggers lost their jobs as cocktail waitresses last summer soon after the former Boom Boom Room reopened as the Top of the Standard, where beauties frolic in a hot tub planted in the middle of the 18th-floor hotspot.
The ax fell, according to the suit, soon after both women received evaluations saying their performances had been "not up to par" or "less than par" - a big departure from the "positive feedback" the "stellar employees" had previously received.
"They're beautiful women, but they're not tall and that, apparently, is a big crime," Roth said. "They were excellent employees who were terminated for one reason - their body type."
A hotel spokeswoman declined comment.
Rex, a 2009 NYU graduate who previously had a full scholarship to Rider University's theater program, lists herself as 5-foot-4 and 125 pounds on her resume. Jaggers' height is in the same neighborhood, according to her lawyer.
"It's not a question of looks," Roth said. "They want statuesque runway models, and they're treating women differently than they're treating men."
The hotel previously made headlines for encouraging its guests to showcase their X-rated romps in open windows above the High Line.
OK, so someone please post a reference to Ray’s Boom Boom Room from the movie “Life” - loved that part of the movie...
Maybe the HOT TUB is 5ft-8in. deep.
There used to be a “Boom Boom Room” nightclub at the Fountainbleau Hotel in Miami Beach back in the late 50s and early 60s.
It was featured sometimes on the old Warner Bros. detective show, “Surfside Six.”
Well, it usually involves some form of quickie sex.
...and are heroin addicts...
How true. I remember the lady at a bar near Ft. Bragg that brought my beer change under her breast. To my young 18 year old eyes she was a beauty.
What did they do, put in a deeper pool? ;-)
“”There’s definitely a type at the Boom Boom Room - and that type is beautiful, tall and skinny,” said Richard Roth, a lawyer for the women. “Compare that to the men.” “
While the idiot lawyer tries to insult the men, just remember that the idiot lawyer is insulting the very people those “women” want to serve and are not the successful clients of the establishment but rather are wannabee employees wanting to be servants. Now who’s the chump?
Sure they're hot but can either of them tie a knot in a cherry stem with their tongue?
Was that Rick's, Bennigan's, Mickey's, Shady Lady's, or the Menopause Lounge?
Oh, you said it was a "lady", sorry, my bad.......
Or with their toes?
They look okay to me too.
There were a bunch of topless bars between the base and Fayetteville although I never went in one /Sarc
I want to say bottoms up, however, I can’t be sure its been more than a few years.
I think the last time I drove by those bars was in 1997........yeah, that’s it. I just drove by........
OK, you meant THE “Bottoms Up”, not “bottoms up” as in a pre-drink salute! Now I remember. Yep, I drove by that one, too! ;)
