Is this a great country or what?

Reminds me of a classic interview of actress Angie Dickinson by Johnny Carson:

Johnny Carson: "Your dress is beautiful. Do you dress more for Men or for Women?"

Angie Dickinson: "I dress for women. I undress for men."

These are "uniforms" that are basically designed for men's viewing pleasure, and they're stupid and tacky.

Why can't these chicks wear pancake makeup on their legs, too, if they are worried about an uneven complexion or blemishes?

There you go. This is the "why". Men like skin. Go in most sports bars, and the waitresses and bar maids dress (in varying degrees) like this to get tips, and it works.

I believe they also say the pantyhose are a health code thing (for Hooters). Where I work those around the food/drinks cannot have bare legs. If I have a dress/skirt on and have to go out into the food area I need to cover my legs with either pants or hose.


But they also require their hair to be down, which would concern me more than their legs

I'm annoyed because I thought this thread was going to be about the terrible quality of certain sexy outfits. I mean like some of those pleather things, with the cheap little metal rivets that just come right off, or the lingerie that just looks like cheap garbage. It's awful. I don't know how anyone could feel sexy wearing that, and I don't know what kind of person you have to be, to find someone wearing it sexy. Might as well tie some Walmart bags around your torso or something. Horrible.

And tacky? Tacky like weirdly colored fishnet hose?

No. No, you're talking about regular old pantyhose on Hooters girls of all things... You have not BEGUN to plumb the depths of tacky.

Fake fur with exaggerated striped or spotted animal print with those hose and crazy pumps, there you go, and throw in some ridiculous shade of clashing lipstick and badly dyed hair. See now I've just described the old stereotype of a prostitute. And I STILL don't get it. What could possibly be appealing to a man in that kind of tacky? Is it a turn on to know a woman has horrible taste in clothes?

The hooters uniform is more about the top.

Look up pictures of Harlequin from the movie Suicide Squad.


Fishnets and short little shorts and looking tacky can be plenty sexy on the right person.
