I long for the day Girl AnchorSpokesHeads wore collared shirts and somber, well-cut blazers, with trousers or a conservative skirt. IOW, I’d really like it if they were clothed like their male counterparts instead of Macy’s “Spring Fling” mannequins. Come to think of – like Rachel Maddow! ---

Just above the knee. Which is family appropriate and a bit sexy too. The dresses have high necklines. No exposed cleavages to upset the viewers. I think Kim Guilfoyle missed the memo. Her hems are much higher, which is why Fox puts her in the “leg chair” at the table on “The Five”. ---

> [@gigi](#): > > What do you mean by “smock” because what I think of as a smock is not something I’ve ever seen on a newswoman, Fox or not. I have. The women were also hugely pregnant, and this was in an era when women did not wear form-fitting maternity clothes. As for the OP, I don’t watch Fux so I wouldn’t know. ---

Seriously. I was watching the US Open and there are three male sportscasters in suits and one female sportscaster in a hot pink sheath dress. :rolleyes: It was on Fox Sports – hmm, I see a pattern. Surely on a golf broadcast, the woman could wear a pantsuit or trousers and a blouse.
