Q. I'm curious to hear opinions of the young lady who was pulled off the SouthWest Airlines flight because her outfit was too revealing. The pictures of her, wearing her skirt and top were I thought not out of the norm, she was tall, blonde and a bit busty but nothing at all revearling about her top and her skirt was low to mid thigh. They actually showed some of the older SW Airline flight attendents from the 70's wearing hot pants on CNN today. Curious to hear opinions, because this woman was dressed nicely and I have seen some pretty poorly dressed people not get a second look. Think that jealously had anything to do with it?
I only saw the picture of her that was shown on the media. She looks fine in it and didn't have a tank top on, she had a top and sweater. My understanding was that it was a female passenger who complained after the boarded the plane and that she was given a blanket to cover herself after getting back on.

A. I offer 2 opinions on the topic of personal appearance in public places -
1. Airlines (Buses, Cruise ships, Railroads, etc) have the right to demand certain standards of conduct (or appearance)of passengers, and sometimes enforce that right when passengers or the airline would be harmed. In this case, however, I have heard that another passenger complained to the airline, and caused this situation to arise.
I have no idea what gives one passenger the right to judge the lady's clothing, this seems to be hypocritical and surely could have been resolved by moving the complaining passenger to a seat out of view of the young lady, and offering a blindfold to the complaining passenger.
Since the airline crew now had to intervene quickly, in order to let the flight take off on time, and keep the peace, perhaps it was easiest at the moment to do what SW did, right or wrong. On the other hand (with my perfect hindsight), if I were the air crew, I would have told BOTH passengers to get off and let them battle it out in court for being involved in a dispute of a nature unable to be resolved in a timely manner.
Opinion #2: On personal pride of appearance AND tolerance (or lack of tolerance), what ever happened to these things?
It used to be that far fewer people (slobs, etc) went out in public place dressed badly. I am not talking about dressing in a unique, trendy way, but plain out wearing ragged, dirty smelly clothing, etc. I once sat (in first class cabin, Dallas to London) way too close to a young couple and baby, dressed in worn-out jeans, tattered plain white-T shirts, cheap shower shoes, etc and the toddler wearing only a diaper and some kind of sleeping clothes, barely enough to keep it from catching cold. Granted that your clothing choices can be limited by your income and budget, but if you have the means to fly in first-class cabin to London, surely you could afford to dress better than that? On tolerance, YES, I thought to myself that if I had the power, I would tell that couple to dress more appropriately for the occasion, but of course I realized that I do NOT have that power, so I just kept my mouth shut, put on my headset, listened to the music, and enjoyed the flight.
Ok, open for debate, I would like to read your comments, anyone?

What should I wear to a formal wedding? Where is a great place to buy a classy yet sexy dress?
Q. I have never attended a wedding that is so elegant and formal before. I would like to look classy as well as sexy. I was thinking about a black dress with pearls and open toe heals. Any suggestions? By the way I'm 30 years old and like to be trendy :)
A. Wedding ettiquette is very tricky. Unless the wedding is after 6pm, Black is VERY inappropriate. Remember - this is the brides day, not yours. Black at the wedding can be taken to mean you disapprove of the match and are being subtle. Even for an evening wedding, I've find a jewel tone that looks good with your skin tone.
Go to any High end department store, like Macy's or Saks or Nordie's. They will have someone who can help you pick out the perfect dress. Remember to tall them the time of the wedding and that it is formal. Also mention if it's in a garden of a church or someone's house - that makes a difference.
My final suggestion is that if you want sexy, go ultra feminine. Gauzy, flowing materials with a fairly form fitting cut - spaghetti straps or strapless. Full length. Wear comfortable shoes - hopefully you'll be dancing till dawn with a handsome fellow party goer! Hair up and light and wispy. light make up. Understate - go girl next door. You want people to think your not really trying because it's curteous to your friend to let her be the most beautiful woman in the room. Don't try to detract fromt he wedding party.
