    To those who are concerned about being allowed to wear a kilt to work...

    Don't ever get a job working here: ---> http://www.flickr.com/photos/doctorow/6128241332/



    'Nuff said.

    (Maybe should've put this in the humour section)...

    Ha! The only catergory that I even relate to is the blue jeans part.
    Remember that these girls wear a Toga for their work uniform.

    You say that like it's a bad thing... They're just celebrating their Italian heritage...

    Actually, this is not the casino itself... Looks like it's a fashion boutique IN the casino. Which really boggles me -- if this is supposed to be some kind of high-class fashion shop, to have your staff wear DENIM?

    I would guess that you have never been to Vegas!

    No kilts in our office either. The men's dress code, while lenient, has always been clearly defined: khaki pants with either polo or button-up shirts.

    Recently, our director announced that women are officially allowed to wear capri pants at work. The previous director had declared them unsuitable for the office. A lot of ladies were very excited about the change.

    During the announcement, they sarcastically added that men, however, could not wear capris. A few lame jokes were exchanged. Suddenly, the assistant director chimed in with, "And no kilts either, guys!"

    I don't think anyone knows I wear kilts when not at work. I'm not sure what provoked that comment, but it irked me. They probably thought the idea was so ludicrous that it would be a funny thing to say. I never would have worn a kilt to work, but that only makes me want to now.

    Okay. </rant>

    Kind of like throwing down the gauntlet, eh? Did you ask "Why?"

    Well, if you had ever been to Vegas you would realize that, while here are a few places in Vegas that have dress codes, most visitors to Vegas do not dress with a sense of style or class. Nothing is too tacky to wear in Vegs!

    That sounds like what happns any day on any street near me. Not that I consider myself a super sharp dresser, but there don't seem to be too many boundaries of fashion that won't be crossed on a daily basis.
