Woman Asked To Leave Kentucky Mall Because Of Dress

With Pic.
Woman asked to leave Mall in Kentucky because her dress was (way) too hot. What's next? ANARCHY? Banned from airplanes because you're too beautiful? She bought THE dress at THE mall just the day before.

« Killerbean : I say it was just the security guard making up an excuse after eye humping her.

Edit: I mean he made her turn around in front of him, right? Haha that's just unnecessary, unless he has another agenda ... maybe she went to high school with him and he's getting off on a power trip and kicking her out cus she was a biatch to him.

I tottally agree.

I can't see any wife, no matter how big her MooMoo is actually going to a security guard and complaining that their husband was eyeing a 20 year old in a skimpy dress. Seems more reality based that the husband would be in trouble instead.

Oh, and that I bought it at this mall excuse doesn't fly. They sell bathing suits at the mall but it's a rare mall that will let you in in just a bathing suit.

She's too hot to be from Kentucky, must be visiting.

murfanda @ 8/14/2008 12:54:49 AM

She's a very pretty girl and the dress looks fine on her, but it's shorter than what I'd be comfortable wearing in public. To each his own. Personally, I was more offended by her poor grammar than anything else. I'm glad they kept her speaking parts to a minimum.

makri @ 8/13/2008 8:48:17 PM

Hey it's only a step away from kicking pretty chicks out because they're pretty and husbands look at them. Clothing is just an excuse. But I agree, they should put up a post saying "ugly people only" on the mall entrance.

My friends and I were banned from my mall for a year because we were wearing all black and apparently we scared an old lady just by being there and shopping. About 8 or 9 of us were given trespassing warnings because we argued that it wasn't fair. [Now I know better.]

This chick needs to stop being such an attention whore. It's private property, they can do what they want. This really is only her business, she shouldn't have gotten the media involved.

« TraumaMamma :

I would rather they ban women who have no business wearing tight belly shirts and kids with their pants sagging.

I think a good place to start would be to ban tube tops except as beach cover-ups. I think banning them for people who "have no business" is a slippery slope, part of me feels like people who have the guts to wear something should be able too, but in reality it seems those people don't possess great courage but rather lack tact. I think that this person from Kentucky lacks tact and modesty, but malls have tradtionally been a bastion for tactlessness and immodesty. I hate malls. I also think as long as we are going to ban tube tops we should ban tank tops for men. Whether the wearer is cut or flabby a tank top is an undershirt, and is acceptable for mowing the lawn in or playing basketball but little else.

I don't think a complaint necessarily equates jealousy..

« DerAlt : This really sounds like it's the decision of a security guard who is deciding something based on his own feelings.

The mall has the right to restrict reasonable limits on what the public wears, ie; no sandals, no swimsuits but it needs to be specific and needs to be publicly posted.

If there are no specific stated guidelines for dress length, shorts length, back coverage etc then it's a personal decision by the guard and not by mall directive.

It's not nearly enough that the guard thinks she's not wearing proper attire.

This is really lame BS.

I think you hit this spot on. If no clothing requirements are posted at the entrance, or for that fact anywhere in the mall, then the security guard and the mall could be in serious trouble.

meggysue @ 8/13/2008 1:22:15 PM

Remember, KY is in the Bible Belt... where ever you go, you'll be influenced by cultural values. There may be a Victoria's Secret, but people aren't going to wear their undies as their outies, because they have SOME idea what's acceptable in their area.

I feel uncomfortable in the mall sometimes because of some of the window dressing, or lack thereof. Call me old-fashioned, that's OK with me. It's my choice whether or not I shop by those stores. So, jealous wives, if you go to the mall, expect your hubby and/or your kids to see more than you like, because it's definitely there. If you don't like it, don't shop there.

And the accent? At the risk of sounding racist, it's hillbilly imitating black. EDIT: Sorry, just listened to it, and it's definitely a speech impediment. But some young Kentuckians do talk that way.

lilyang @ 8/13/2008 1:03:59 PM

"Miss, you need to leave this mall at once!!! ... and go to my house and take that dress right off. I'll be over soon to bring you more appropriate attire and inspect that things are up to code. While you're waiting, why don't you pour us both some drinks and make yourself cozy on the bearskin rug."

personally whining about it to the media shows a bit of pathetic cry for attention on the part of the lady.

Not really, I commend her for it. The fact is this security guard made a huge mistake, if they were too actually kick out every women who wore a dress like that one then they would find their business plummeting. The bad publicity is really her only hope for a (well-deserved) apology.

I would imagine that the store that sells this dress is PISSED about this.

« keroberos32:I agree with that, but:

This is the first time, out of many, that someone at the mall had a problem with her clothing? Why bring it up now? Why didn't they think that the first time she wore revealing outfits to the mall was a cause for concern? What is this; 3 times a charm? Why this time? Why now and not then?

Jealous wives...

Pathetic...

That is true. They need to have a stated policy and stick to it.

However words like "inappropriate" which would be a likely term used are subjective and will be open to interpretation.

That dress is far from inappropriate in most reasonable people's minds.

I am not advocating such dress codes. I think they are asinine and yes, pathetic. They show a lack of tolerance and a lack of maturity. We are not 9-year olds. We can see a bit of flesh without having the sky fall on us. Personally I don't care if she was topless. As long as there are no health issues, people should be able to do as they please.

I am just saying the mall via its representative has a right to do this. The mall is trying to please all of its customers including the ones who were complaining.

I don't agree with it, but they can do as they please as long as they don't violate anyone's civil rights.

That isn't the point. As was stated bcgrote, the mall is private property and they can select a dress code. It isn't what you or I may find appropriate but what the mall and its customers may find appropriate

I agree with that, but:

...She says she's worn more revealing clothing before to the mall, but this is the first time she's been kicked out...

horsefeathers @ 8/13/2008 11:12:31 AM

Did the mall have a dress code posted somewhere?

If not, should they?

Most restaraunts and stores post "No shirt, no shoes, no service".

If they want to enforce a dress code, then one should be posted for patrons to see.

I personally, found nothing wrong with her dress. Her boobs weren't hanging out as far as I could tell. I've seen my fair share of ass cracks due to low slung jeans, and undergarments due to the same, in public places that are deemed private property and those people were not asked to leave.

loonytoon @ 8/13/2008 5:04:03 AM

Once again the jealousy bug strikes. One jealous wife was with her husband who had his eyes stray and she couldn't accept the fact that there was someone more attractive than her in the mall. Given that though, the husbands should've known better that their wife will always be the most beautiful woman in the world to them no matter what.

But for someone to go to security to complain about a 20 year old girl wearing a summer dress is beyond comprehension. 2 minutes later she would've been out of sight and that would've been the end of it. Like I said at the beginning, the jealousy bug struck again and now made the news.

Point is, there could be other reasons, considering the mall didn't even comment on the situation. You just don't know.

bcgrote @ 8/13/2008 1:51:07 AM

Sigh. Malls are private property, enclosing even more private property.

She COULD have a case if the mall has not gone to the store where she bought it and told them to remove those dresses from their stock.

And she can sue for sexual harassment, ie, the guard ogling her and then telling her that her clothes were "too" suggestive.

LOL, I would have said, "I know it's too revealing, but I don't own any other clothes and I came here to get more...." Or maybe, "Sorry, my pastor's wife selected this dress for me...."

bingo @ 8/13/2008 1:15:46 AM

ieldanth @ 8/12/2008 11:56:30 PM

Does this mall have a Victoria's Secret or the equivalent? If so, she could just as easily have bought something from there and worn it, so that point isn't valid.

As for the dress, I fail to see what is wrong with it, but I can only speak for the front view. For all I know, it might be something akin to a hospital gown in the back.

Thirdly, if the guard was informing her that husbands were watching, any takers on who was complaining? :D
