Fire & Ice Girls: Sexist Anachronism?

I think it has to do with health regulations. Besides which, have you seen the people that work in the concessions?

The lady on the ice crew who wears the track suit is not part of the Big Country Ice Crew, she is part of the Flames organization that works on the ice.

Then it's clearly sexist, and anyone who makes an argument to the contrary is obviously wrong.

I am not sure, is Studio 82 on Heritage still a bikini bar with waitresses wearing bikinis?

Well you must be one special snowflake then if you're the only person in the world not affected by these things.

Have you ever noticed in some places that a second person will come out and serve you your food? That's because of health regulations. Some uniforms don't meet the regulations so they need an additional employee just to bring out the food.

In a concession stand, there is no room for two employees for every till. Or even 3 for every two tills. It's bad enough when you need a ProServe person to handle alcohol for two underagers. Which would be another thing... You want to see 16 year olds in bikinis? Perhaps you should also see a psychiatrist.

It might also have something to do with the age of the workers. Many of the concession workers are under the age of 18 and this is probably why their uniforms are very conservative and unflattering.

The bikini girls and waitresses at other establishments where uniforms are more revealing and sexy are over the age of 18. The same goes for the F&I girls. In their job postings one of the requirements is that the girls have to be 18+.

I will be honest, I don't even know if Studio 82 is still around as a bikini bar, so you could be correct. You seem to have more knowledge of health regulations than me.


I have no desire to see 16 yr olds in bikinis. If you have read my posts in this thread you know know that and you would know my thoughts on this topic.

It's really just a guess based on prior working knowledge.

I drove down Heritage the other week and I think Studio 82 has closed. I recall possibly seeing a for sale or for lease sign.

Put in a suggestion to the Flames organization the next time you go see a game.

Bikinis and 4 inch heels would be great.

This isn't like the YLYL thread debate (as an familiar example, as loathe as I am to bring it up again), where there were two main issues that I agree were problems: first, some of the pictures were definitely outside the standards of public modesty, at least for North America, and - far worse in my opinion - there was overt hostility towards women that weren't up to the exacting standards of a bunch of pasty nerds on the internet. I

Some jerk making rude commentary about the F&I girls at a game WOULD be wrong, but losers being losers is a problem that will be solved right after world peace breaks out. The problem still doesn't lie with what entertainment is being provided, but rather the attitudes of those watching it - attitudes that would be far less prevalent in a society that eschewed leftover puritanism for relaxed tolerance.

I guess i shouldnt tell that joke...

Girls like doing it so it's fine.

If they had ice girls during the young guns era I would have been interested.

I guess CP has taught me that we as a society can go so far in political correctness and equality that it actually becomes oppressive.

Thanks I guess.

Do you guys like, actively try this hard to miss the point, or is it just a result of stars aligning in Capricorn or some garbage.
