Well, this is pretty riveting. 
The recent developments in the case make it more lol-worthy.
Quote:Woman Says Citibank Fired Her Because She Was Too Hot
Debrahlee Lorenzana is filing a lawsuit against Citibank because they fired her, she says, for the strangest reason: she's too hot.
She's 5'5'', 125 pounds and well, you've seen her photo.
"Where I'm from," she told the Village Voice, "women dress up—like put on makeup and do their nails—to go to the supermarket... I was raised very Latin. We're feminine. A woman in Puerto Rico takes care of herself."
Her bosses told her that "as a result of the shape of her figure, such clothes were purportedly 'too distracting' for her male colleagues and supervisors to bear," she says.
[Her two male] managers gave her a list of clothing items she would not be allowed to wear: turtlenecks, pencil skirts, and fitted suits. And three-inch heels.
The recent developments in the case make it more lol-worthy.
