Measure Your Mini Skirts, Girls! It's 1969 Again At The White House

If you dress like this, the White House will no longer let you in.


There's a cutesy yearbook photo of me on my knees, smiling, as the principal measures the length of my mini skirt. School rules dictated that skirts could be no shorter than 4 inches above the knee.

Of course, we arrived at school every day with only 4 inches of thighs showing... then we just rolled the waistband down in the restroom.

And the boys arrived at school with buttoned-down collars, shirts tucked in, and trousers (yes, trousers) creased and pressed.

No shorts. No jeans. No T-Shirts. No flip flops. No sneakers (those were for P.E. class), and no mini skirts.

And, of course, girls had to wear either dresses or skirts. No "masculine" pants allowed.

Even when the rules relaxed to include (gasp) sandals, the boys had to wear socks with them.

Fast forward to today...

Signs Around White House List Dress Code Rules

(CBS) WASHINGTON New signs are posted around the White House indicating a new strict enforcement of the dress code, the Washington Post reported Thursday. The code applies to all visitors and staff members, including tourists.

Some tourists are finding the strict clothing restrictions at the White House un-American.

The forbidden items include jeans, sneakers, mini-skirts, t-shirts, tank tops and absolutely no flip flops.

The motivation for the clothing crack-down comes from the Bush Administration who think some of those who work there and those who visit just don't dress appropriately.

Enjoy your White House visit, Folks!
