A slew of female aides to New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo say they were either explicitly told or felt pressured to wear makeup and dress up to please the governor and get ahead professionally.
Twelve women told The New York Times that there was a general understanding that they should wear heels, dresses, and makeup when in Cuomo's presence. More than a dozen women who've worked for Cuomo told New York Magazine that the governor and his top female aides applied heavy pressure to dress well and in expensive clothing. Some said they were specifically directed to wear heels when in the governor's presence. Several current and former aides in the governor's office told The Times that women who are tall, thin, and blonde were favored in the hiring process.
Another former aide named Kaitlin, who asked that her last name not be used, told New York Magazine that the governor would criticize her physical appearance if she came to work with wet hair or otherwise didn't meet his standards. She said he would tell her, "You decided not to get ready today?" or, "You didn't put makeup on today?"
One former staffer, Ana Liss, said an executive assistant to the governor told her, "When the governor is here, you need to look really good."
A current senior aide and two former staffers told The Times they believed they were passed over for certain professional opportunities because of how they dressed. Three former staffers said they had to dress the way Cuomo wanted if they desired special attention from the governor. Staffers who dressed according to Cuomo's code would be seated at desks in view of his office in the Capitol building, The Times reported.

Makeup heels and dresses has been part of professional dress since caveman days. It helps people take women seriously. People don’t take women in sweats and daisy dukes seriously.
Still being pulled out as a cover for the 10s of thousands killed by Cuomo (as well as 10s of thousands more by other Dem guvs).
“”You didn’t put makeup on today?”
I’d be interested to know how recently he made that comment.
Actually that is not particularly the case in this millenium.
Women from law to tech and Wall Street, for example, are much more likely to go with pantsuits, at most low heels, and “natural” makeup to be taken seriously as executives and professionals.
Kittenish dress has detracted from women’s professional stature and acceptance for decades now.
He prefers “tall, thin and blonde.” KillerCuomo is a racist. 🙌🏼
Mistress Kamala is destroying this guy.
“the governor would criticize her physical appearance if she came to work with wet hair”
Sorry Gov. You’re a lib and work with lib women. This is what they do. Can’t have conservative values in your staffs appearance.
Come on....it’s like the TAX CHEATING got Al Capone!! ANY WAY to get him out of office.

That’s a hanging offense right there.
They violated the pu$$y protocols of the Vaginal Bill of Rights and violated the anti testosterone edict across a crowded womb.
For that it should be death by bimbo, without a blindfold at high noon.
RESIGN CUOMO SO YOU DON”T TAKE US ALL DOWN WITH YOU ON THE NURSING HOME GENOCIDE SCANDAL.
ROLL OUT MORE BIMBOS!
No, shooing him out on this will likely keep all the Dem guvs and their conspirators who should be up on manslaughter charges from ever facing justice. (Not that the Biden admin or their state systems are likely to do other than some superficial paper shuffling anyway...)
Check this out, all the celebretards praising Cuomo last year as a God...

fight them andy. protect your delusion.
Hey, little girl, comb your hair, fix your make up. / Soon he will open the door.
LOL! thanks for the link. laughter is good medicine.
“My 20 y/o granddaughter continues to have more quality exec experience than Joe Biden.”
: ) mine’s 19 and would be a better C-i-C.
The sexism accusations won’t push him out (he is a Dem, after all).
But I heard the “R” word yesterday. That will do it. (racism)
What’s the fun of going to work in your play clothes?
Back in my day, sure, ‘natural’ makeup and low heels, nails and hair tidy, too. High heels were a boss’s show of status as they are today - I don’t have to walk very far, I’m important, as opposed to the file clerk in flats, who was on her feet most of the day. Boss heels were 3 inch at the time. Not like the tippytoe 5inchers of today that still say, I’m important (or think I am). Dresses over separates was also a status sign. Receptionists wore separates, bosses wore dresses, bonus status points if your coat or duster matched. And you had to have more dresses than separates because you couldn’t wear the same dress in the same month. Receptionists had discrete jewelry, bosses could get a little bolder but only just. Lots of silly peer-driven vanity in my day. But the bible was ‘Dress for Success,’ (with your female co-workers) at the time men wore pressed shirts, ties and suits, women were breaking glass ceilings and dominating middle management, and the only man wearing a polo shirt and dockers was the interoffice mail clerk. :)
You mean that every one of his victims were white? Looks like poor Andy got snared in his own trap.
Please don’t tell me that Andy didn’t grope one single tranny either. What is he, a transphobic racist? Those are the absolute worst people.
Right? Trannies have a right to be groped too! Such discrimination...
