Put a bag on her head and she is good to go.

I think this photo is how she looked after SouthWest asked her to lower her skirt and raise her tank-top. It’s more likely that your standard journalistic fact omission is in play here. Not that there’s anything wrong with her outfit, mind you.

"She's wearing WHITE after Labor Day! Not on MY airline!!!"

When I am on the bus it is very embrassing to set across from a women who skirt is so short you can see her underware!

Six of us had a limo to the airport, the three women sat opposite us gents. The one 'lady' in the group had worn a skirt far too short for the event and ended up getting stuck in the middle with her feet either on the 'hump' or astride it.

As you can imagine, it was an interesting ride since she had nothing on which to brace herself during the ride.

I've always suspected that the driver's eyes were fixed into the mirror and he chose the bumpy, twisty route on purpose! LOL

What’s the matter with pant suits???? As a SAHM that was an engineer a few years ago, pant suits were very practical and good for the office. You can climb over equipment, sit in a meeting without flashing, crawl under equipment without showing anything revealing and still look professional.

I did this all as a 5’7” 120 lb blond haired blue-eyed 25 year old. After work and I church, I dressed more girly. But work was about being professional and practical.

So once she’s seated, where does one’s eyes have to be fixated in order to see something offensive?

Or is a mere glance of flesh now considered offensive?

[Eagle Eye]

Yes, the price of freedom includes things that may be distasteful to you.

I’m sure you’ll either get over it or stay indoors listening to your victrola.

Ever see what is sometimes worn under that ‘burhka’?

Trust me, some lingerie stores in the mideast will put Victoria’s Secret to shame.

[Squantos]

I’d have to see more of her to make a fair decision......

[Anonymous Rex]

What skirt are you talking about? All I see around her hips is a bandana.

[mad_as_he$$]

I agree. Been to the Mall lately? Great place if you are a closet perv.

[mad_as_he$$]

Ah the good old days.

[EGPWS]

Why am I making a bid deal out of this? Because it’s representative of a society that’s teetering out of control. Everyone is so concerned about their “rights” and “freedoms,” and to h*** with everyone else. This is NOT what the founders intended when they spoke of individual liberty.

The "forefathers" preached and wrote a doctrine reflecting the idea that individuals have freedoms not the masses in total.

When individual "freedoms" are infringed upon we are to be protected.

Individual "preference" if perceived as doctrine is nothing more than a road leading to anarchy.

This being the case, you have the right as an individual with God given rights to avoid distaste by others in total if desired.

You also are blessed with the ability to reason via the human factor.

Whining however wasn't a dictated right placed in the Constitution.

Just watched the interview with the young lady on Fox, Wow the photo didn’t do her justice! Her description of the event was flawless. Sue the heck out of S/W on this one! A plain case of jealousy, take your pick as to who might have complained.

[CitizenUSA]

Eagle Eye asks: “Ever see what is sometimes worn under that ‘burhka’?”

No, but I’ve heard they wear quite a bit of lingerie (or is it quite a little bit of lingerie).

[dalight]

If you look at this picture.. Look at where she has the top of the skirt. See the button. Thats half way down her butt. If that tee shirt rides up, you are seeing anything or the nothing that is underneath. And, once she sits.. you are staring right at bottom, even if she tries crossing her legs..

Its amazing that thing isn't around her ankles.

[Bonaparte]

"Old Southwest ad."

LOL!You're a genius, Moe. There's just no denying it.

The girl's treatment was arbitrary and Southwest has no uniform dress code.

If her lawyer is competent, she'll get a nice chunk of "go away" money.

[cherry]

she looks like a whore or a Hooters "family restaurant" waitress.....

keep it up SWA!....its time we said ENOUGH to trash..

[EGPWS]

Let me guess, you're focused more on the "fair" than the "more". /snicker
