WASHINGTON New signs are posted around the White House indicating a new strict enforcement of the dress code, the Washington Post reported Thursday. The code applies to all visitors and staff members, including tourists.
Some tourists are finding the strict clothing restrictions at the White House un-American.
The forbidden items include jeans, sneakers, mini-skirts, t-shirts, tank tops and absolutely no flip flops.
The motivation for the clothing crack-down comes from the Bush Administration who think some of those who work there and those who visit just don't dress appropriately.
Not just children. I am talking women well into maturity.
It is terribly distracting having to read inside a box; it must be doubly so living inside one.
Great post!!LOL
:-)
Oh, boy, it’s a conspiracy./s
I’d venture to say that the “stupid unquestioning public” are in the flip flops and tank tops...
I agree with the dress code. As a society, we’ve lost much of our dignity and it’s disgusting to watch.
A nonsensical post, you mean.
Oops. You’re inappropriate. T-shirts aren’t allowed.
I wore a dress. And sandals. I guess I should have found some nasty waitress shoes and knee socks.
I’m speaking of a slightly dressier (material) t-shirt/top. :-)
Good for you. I wear jeans.
Its not that difficult to find something appropriate thats comfortable.
I find it difficult to accept that you think that I cannot wear in the White House what I can wear as an executive at the engineering firm where I work.
Oh, oh...sandals? :-) Maybe a little “dressier” sandals would do then. Who knows?
Hope at least you had a nice pedicure. LOL.
I found it humorous.
I will grant the White House the right to establish a dress code, for the White House. Does that then set a precedent for dress codes elsewhere, like government schools? Government highways? That would start us down a slope I guess. I don't know.
The slippery slope is a valid concern, even if invalid as a premise to a logical conclusion. Slippery slopes, applied too liberally, can look silly. Hence, my original thought that your comment was a parody.
LOL! Great post.
Class has nothing to do with it.
Your not meeting anyone when your
walking thought the tourist section
of the White house.
It's ok for the Dalai Lama to sport
flip-flops but not tourist.
I live in DC and visited the
White House. After waiting in the
heat for an hour, your in and out in
5 minutes.
Bush should set dress codes rules when
he moved in, not when he's about to move
out of the White House.
This is silly subject.
That it is. It gave me a good laugh as well. :-) But it was still SILLY. LOL.

Well! Silly is not rare on FR, I myself have been guilty of it.
