But it's a dress, not g-strings or undies or anything like that. It's a short dress... I find the low cut jeans + g-string combo more annoying.

It doesn't matter what you find more annoying... AFAIK you are neither the mall's target audience nor the property owner.

It doesn't matter that it's a dress... a dress can be anywhere from right at the hips all the way down to the ankles. I don't see what difference it makes what word you give to the article of clothing. What you call it has no bearing on its level of appropriateness -- If it goes too high up then that's all there is to it.

True, but did they go through the mall looking for other girls that were wearing skirts/dresses that "go too high up"? If not then there is the issue.

I?m going to stat telling ugly people that their face is inappropriate and that they should be kicked out of places.

I don't see the problem with what the mall did. Their place, their rules. Don't like it? don't go back.


To be fair though, the picture that they showed with her in the dress made it seem like the dress does go up a bit far. Not that I'm complaining or that I'm uptight, but I could see where in a state that has a high concentration of conservative religious that it would be deemed unacceptable.

A mall has a very tough responsibility to the stores to set forth the environment for the shoppers and if the target shopper for this mall is middle-aged and older females, then it's easy to see how a girl walking around showing a bit of leg can upset them. It's business. It's not personal. This girl can just deal with it or stick to Walmart & Target's clothing departments.

How does that jive with the mall having the dress to sell in the first place. My problem is the double standard. We can sell you this dress but you can't wear this dress here since it is slutty.

My example with the jeans +g-string is to illustrate there are things much more inappropriate to wear. And you do see them in malls.

First off, I'm going to totally ignore your second sentence because it really has no relevance to the facts here. The girl wasn't wearing jeans with her underwear showing. YOU seeing them in YOUR local malls does NOT have any bearing on this girl's dress getting her kicked out of a mall.


As for the rest... who cares if there is a double standard? What does it matter if they sell it but won't allow you to wear it there? What difference does it really make WHERE it was purchased? There's nothing illegal about selling goods that aren't meant to be used at the location they were purchased at. I mean, I'm really failing to see what your big issue is. The stores can sell whatever they want as long as it doesn't violate and laws or the lease agreement.

To summarize: So what?

Well, if we are going with "So what", there isn't much point in continuing this conversation.

if there was any justice in america the mall guards would have raped her and then dragged her out into the parking lot to be stoned to death by all the male employees of every store in the mall. thatll show those she-devils for forcing our eyeballs to focus on her tig ol bitties!

Go to ANY mall in america and you will see much worse than that dress. You're just talking bullshit. STFU already and stop defending some power tripping idiot of a security guard. You're embarrassing yourself.

"Kymberly Clem was kicked out of the Richmond Mall in Richmond, Kentucky Saturday for wearing a dress she bought there."

No wonder...

By the way, that dress is neither short nor revealing and if people this conservative come to Los Angeles, their eyes will burn. Actually, the fat ass wives' eyes will burn, the husbands will be enjoying the view (same case here).

EDIT: I did not see the video with her apparently bad voice.

People's priorities are clearly screwed up. Don't these jackasses have more important things to complain about than some good looking woman's choice in clothing that far exceeds the amount that is covered by your typical bathing suit?

These wives only want their husbands looking at them of course.

Are you against bathing suits too? What about people wearing bathing suits inside and around shopping areas and restaurants at a beach town? Or are you choosing to believe that such things are inappropriate "just because" even though there is no real negative consequence.

People really need to get their emotions in check and stop letting such little things bother them for no useful reason.

I never said that I thought it was inappropriate, I'm just saying that someone thought it was inappropriate. Otherwise we wouldn't have this thread in the first place. It's not my right, privilege or responsibility to determine how other people feel about something.

Yeah, some fat ass wives and a power tripping idiot of a security guard. There is no way in hell that that dress violated any formal dress code of a mall. None.

Yep. Also, this:

The husbands who allegedly ogled Kymberly Clem apparently were not kicked out of the mall.

That made me lol.

You're missing the point. It doesn't matter what you see at other malls. We aren't talking about other malls, we're talking about one specific mall. The dress was deemed too inappropriate for this mall. The mall is private property and they can tell someone to leave if they damn well feel like it. I'm not defending a security guard, I'm not defending the mall, I'm not defending the girl. All I'm saying is that they had the RIGHT to tell her to leave. I'm stating facts, you're making assumptions. Who is embarrassing themselves?

Go listen to some more Rage Against the Machine in your mom's basement and cry about how you're oppressed because you hate security guards.

The guy forced her to turn around for her while he looked her up and down. That is creepy, strange, and not within his rights as a low level employee at a mall.

First, let me apologize for misunderstanding your previous post about what you do or do not feel is inappropriate.

Second, while I understand that people have a right to throw someone off private property, that doesn't mean that exercising that right is always the best thing to do. Yes, they have the freedom to do so and that freedom really shouldn't be taken away from them, but this girl has freedoms and rights too and she should be free to dress like that in a public mall.

What happened here to this woman is a single instance which if abused too much eventually turns into the creation of laws using words like "discrimination" throughout their definition. Personally, I don't want to see that kind of thing happen which is why I heavily disapprove of exercising one's freedom in such a way. These freedoms are privileges and if too many people start to abuse them then they get taken away and nobody wants that to happen. It is not like we haven't seen this sort of thing play out like that before.

It is a good thing that private property owners are permitted to toss out the riff raff. I think most would agree that there are many cases which merit such action. Let's not tempt enough people to try and take those freedoms away from us shall we? The juice just is not worth the squeeze in cases like what happened with this woman.

Oh, and I love the news reporters covering this as though it's actually a worthy news story...:roll:

With some Down's Syndrome thrown in. That was the absolute worst speaking voice I have ever heard.

You all are going to feel pretty bad if it's discovered that she has a cleft palate.

At least we know how to get rid of all the fatties with revealing clothing on. Just complain to the security guard until they escort the person out. Mob action FTW!
