I’m not seeing the article as supporting the "Too-big boobs"a rgument. Her employers wanted her to dress more modestly. They gave her what they had on hand to cover up with, and she cried, so they offered to let her take time off to go buy something “decent.” Yes, they completely screwed up by not having a set policy, but she was also pretty childish and insensitive. I mean, don’t we all think the jeggings are the real issue here? 😉 ---

She looks like a character from HR Pufnstuf. Didn’t the trend of pale pink lipstick and heavy mascara die out in the early Seventies? I don’t for a minute believe that she was fired because her breasts were too big. I think she dressed for excess. ---

I hope this lady doesn’t expect much help from Allred. Allred mostly in it for self-promotion according to her last big boobed client that unfairly got fired. Over the years, I’ve noticed Allred shows up for the cameras one or two times with a client. Then the case disappears after a settlement and gets forgotten. I’ve never read about Allred actually in court fighting for a client. This lady was too sexy for Citibank in 2010. > [@](#): > > Super lawyer Gloria Allred cares more about cameras than clients, according to the buxom banker who sued after getting canned by Citigroup, allegedly because her assets were a distraction to co-workers. > \ > “The only times I saw her (Allred) was when the media was there,” she said, adding that Allred seemed to just want her to agree to a quick settlement. > > “I thought because she was a woman that she would really fight for me,” she said.

There is actually no issue for religions that require modest dress in public, with dressing sexily when a woman is alone with her husband. Syria has shopping malls dedicated to lingerie. ---
