Disney: Sexist Dress Code

Disney made an announcement that next Friday, front line male employees at Disney parks and resorts will be allowed to grow a beard in the next change to the company’s conservative, clean-cut dress code since pantyhose became optional for female employees only in 2010.

“We’re careful to maintain our heritage and the integrity of our brand” they say. The brand includes the “Disney Look,” described as fresh, clean, neat, and approachable. The dress code covers everything from hair and style to jewelry and fingernail length.

However, beards are only allowed on men and must be worn short and neat. Facial hair has been banned at the Disney company since the 1950s opening of Disneyland in California, but was relaxed in 2000 when the company allowed moustaches with strict rules on bushiness, width, and length, they say.

Disney is also instituting “casual Fridays” when behind-the-scenes workers may wear neat jeans and polo shirts while female workers may wear sandals.

Luke Bryan’s Apology

An update on Luke Bryan’s Twitter rant. While the country superstar went to eat on his anniversary last night, he was told to remove his hat mid-meal, as it’s against the restaurant’s posted dress code. Luke decided to take it to Twitter where he posted a series of tweets. “Fuck em. They will never get a dollar from me again. So pissed….they can suck on my ball sack….Treat us this way. Hell no.” were some of his comments.

When fans turned on him, he hit them back. One fan tried to calm him down saying, “Nice. Really? Please have some class.” Luke responded “kiss my ass pussy.” Luke, after realizing the extent of his rude behavior, claimed that he was drunk, suddenly using improper grammar: “I’m is drunk. Love y’all. See y’all in the morning.”

Today the tweets containing swear words were removed from his Twitter. Luke stated, “I feel great. About to eat a lovely all american breakfast….in the wake of my drunk tweets. I do wanna apologize to virago [the restaurant]. The food was really great and the service was great to. Also sorry about the choice words. Also caroline and i had a great night together. i never really was that mad. I truly was being silly and got carried away. Sorry again.”
