Generally, I'm left slack jawed at what girls of high school age are wearing at the malls and movie theatres, but how little is too much?
Could a young woman board a flight to Tucson today wearing a bikini top? Angelique, the agent who took my call, assured me that a young woman could. “We don't have a problem with it if she's covered up in all the right spots,” she said. “We don't have a dress code.”
Tell that to Kyla Ebbert, who was escorted off a Southwest Airlines flight two months ago for wearing an outfit far less revealing than a bikini top. Ebbert, a Mesa College student and Hooters waitress, was allowed to stay on the plane, but only after she put up a fight and, she says, was lectured on how to dress properly.
“My daughter is young, tall, blond and beautiful,” Michele Ebbert told me, “and she is both envied and complimented on her appearance. She dresses provocatively, as do 99 percent of 23-year-old girls who can. But they were out of line.”
Who knows where the lines are drawn these days, particularly when it comes to dress? If you watch television, or visit the mall, or take in a game at Petco Park, you'll see women dressed in ways that, 50 years ago, were pornographic. Today they are stylish.
I wouldn't have filed a complaint by any means. Hell, when I was single and a consultant in the air all the time I used to dream about this. But seriously, who the hell dresses like this for a doctor's appointment? It's got to be a plastics surgeon.

I remember a Grade 8 math teacher reaming out a girl who came to class in a "hooker suit", short one piece skirt/top in stretch material. Nowadays, I doubt she'd even raise an eyebrow. Of course, jeans (rolled up hems) and a Cotton Ginny sweatshirt were in vogue...
To answer the inevitable "This thread is useless without pictures", yes, there's a picture in the story. There's also a video of her on the Today show out there, but I won't link to it as she inadvertenly flashes Matt Lauer enough of an upskirt they blurred out replays...
