Cocktail Waitresses Canned: Not "Runway" Material


Two big time cocktail waitresses were fired because they didn't have the "right look." What they do have is... an attorney!

Aspiring actresses Faye Rex and Stephanie Jaggers are suing
 the Standard Hotel, claiming management sees fit to employ only women with runway model looks at its sexy playpen, the the Boom Boom Room, at the Top of the Standard above the High Line.

"There's definitely a type at the Boom Boom Room - and that type is beautiful, tall and skinny," said Richard Roth, a lawyer for the women. Faye is 5'3" and Stephanie is 5'4" tall.

The girls lost their jobs as cocktail waitresses last summer soon after the Boom Boom Room reopened, where beauties frolic in a hot tub planted in the middle of the 18th-floor hot spot.

Here's my take:

1. Did they look like supermodels when they were hired?
2. Settle out of court.
3. If this is such a big deal, fire the jerk who hired them.
