Kymberly Clem, 20, says she walked into the Richmond Mall Saturday but was soon escorted out all because of her dress.

 
Was the dress worn by a woman recently kicked out of the Richmond Mall inappropriate for the mall?
Yes
No
I have no opinion.
 

"I was walking through and 10 minutes after I was there, the security guard approached me, asked me to step aside, made me completely do a turn around while he stared me up and down and then asked me to leave because my outfit was too provocative and people's husbands was (sic) looking at me," says Clem.

Clem says she bought the dress at the mall just the day before. She says she's worn more revealing clothing before to the mall, but this is the first time she's been kicked out.

Clem now wants answers and says she's been wrongly turned away.

27 NEWSFIRST tried contacting the Richmond Mall for comment, but those requests were denied.

There's no word yet if Clem plans to pursue any action against the mall.

Hmm... Ok, This Photo looks Ok, But IS it REALLY the dress in question? Same Size? If a Lady wants to show off assets, there's the bimbo way, and the classy way. One guy here says she's not telling the whole truth. (Wouldn't surprise me, and wouldnt be the first time someone has.) Of course he may not be telling the truth either. Someone mentioned morals being forced upon us... What about Lack of morals being forced upon us? Two-Way Street. calling people "fat a**es" shows how much bigotry one has, no better than than those who's morals are being "shoved down your throat." IF you are going to preach acceptance/tollerance... you better practice it yourself!!! As I said before, cute kid. Are we getting the whole truth out of her? Need more witnesses to step forward to know for sure. I guarantee nobody will need an under-skirt cam if she sits with wide open legs. Money's not the goal here eh? then it must be the publicity... a lawyer with much to learn yet... job hunting.

people who complain about what other people are wearing are usualy jealous that they cant wear it themselves. the woman or women who told on this lady are probably fat a**es that wish that their hubbys looked at them that way again. maybe if these ladies whould stip running their mouth and start running miles they would not feel so inscure about themselves and not try to make others miserable!!

The dress makes a decency to cover her chest, bottom and tummy. One may choose what they wish to wear. We don't penalize teens wearing tiny shorts and a low cut cami do we? Is there now going to be a dress-code or the fingertip length rule applied to the public areas of Richmond? What idiot of a man would rape the girl in the middle of the mall? She has the smarts and tolerance to scream for help. You cannot influence all the teenagers nowadays to cover up their body entirely. This restricts their expression of opinion in the way they dress.

We dress not only to provide decent cover for ourselves but we show care to other people by not drawing attention to ourselves. Many men are tempted to do bad things because of what they saw how women dress for lady's wear have become provocating or flirty. We spare ourselves from being raped or harmed if we choose to wear decent clothes. We spare men from temptation and or doing actual crime if we make right decision to let respect us by wearing respectable attire.

that dress is cute!i think it looks fine and it's not very revealing.i'm sure they let people wear shorts as short as that.wat's the difference?
Posted by: shari Location: richmond on May 9, 2009 at 09:02 AM
WHY IN THE WORLD IS THIS STORY STILL AROUND? WHO CARES ABOUT IT ANYWAY? ISN'T THERE BIGGER NEWS OUT THERE PEOPLE? This girl got her attention, let it be. Just for the record though, have her reach over her head or just raise her arms up and see what shows then but who REALLY cares? She doesn't and wants to be looked at or attract a man. If nothing shows when she raises her arms, there's nothing to worry about. It's a dress for crying out loud!
Posted by: Ronald Location: Kansas on May 3, 2009 at 06:34 PM
I don't see nothing wrong with that dress if females to wear what ever they want I like females that wear short dress'es it shows people that they are not afraid of there bodys and they like to show off their bodys so if people don't like it they can look the other way
Posted by: Josie Location: Texas on May 2, 2009 at 02:43 AM
Dude the dress is not any shorter than where her finger tips are... In my school... They'd allow it.. So why not at the mall?

Last night i was in the Somerset Mall and was ask to leave as well for the dress i was wearing. The security gaurd did not pull my aside instead he comfronted me in front of everyone,it was very embarassing. He stated "there are women who bring there children in this mall". But i don't feel that my dress or the one this woman wore was in any case inappropriate for a mall.
Posted by: m Location: al on Feb 11, 2009 at 05:25 PM
as a mother of 2 girls she should have known better attention was what she wanted attention was what she got regardless of what man was looking she got it.Any self respecting young lady whould not her a- exposed in a mall where young children are with there parents, I know its fashion but do you HAVE TO BUY IT
Posted by: Rich Location: Miami on Feb 2, 2009 at 06:16 PM
Well I guess noone on here ha sbeen to miami, the average women in Miami has 60-70 percent of her body showing. well i guess if they implemented that rule the malls would be bankrupt you people who agreed are silly skin is in an swe should all remember that. the women who complain ar egenerally the women you would not want to see in anything but a parachute or coveralls
Posted by: Lexie Location: Dallas on Jan 29, 2009 at 07:40 PM
Malls are privately owned therefore they set their own rules and regulations. If they felt your dress was distracting they have all the right to approach you and ask you to leave.

There was nothing wrong with this woman wearing the dress she did. If the women were complaining that their husbands were looking then it is most likely that the the wife no longer wears a skirt or dress ever. If the older women were complaining that it was too short it is most likely that they wore dresses that short or shorter in the days of the miniskirt, so who are they to talk? Fashion is just that fashion. Hard to beleive that people over react to a woman in a fashionable outfit. I'd say there are more important things to worry about like crime and economy than one's length of a dress, come on people get a life!

Posted by: Lynn Location: TN on Dec 26, 2008 at 11:40 PM
She got thrown out of a mall for that dress? Maybe it was in poor taste but she has every right to wear it! Either more happened that we aren't hearing or something has been blown way out of proportion! I can't believe so many men were staring at her that they had to throw her out!
Posted by: Delores on Dec 26, 2008 at 08:38 PM
Well, this is a cute dress, but, wearing this in the middle of the WINTER when it is apparantly the look of a SUMMER time dress "is" a bit much! Of course people will stare! But, I don't think they would have much if it had been JUNE or JULY compared to DECEMBER. Any way, if you got the looks FLAUNT them! But, I say do it SEASONALLY!! I nice pair of skinny jeans with some high heel ankle boots and a low cut tunic with a waist belt would have been MUCH better for her for THIS time of year!!
Posted by: Raymond Location: Danville on Nov 23, 2008 at 05:27 PM
The dress the lady is wearing is no shorter then whant most high school cheer leaders would wear at a game. I believe if a mall does not want you to approve a dress for public wear then maybe they should not sell it in the first place.
Posted by: Nita on Nov 16, 2008 at 10:53 AM
We no longer live in a free country, this is unbelievable. I think it is horrible that she was asked to leave because a few insercure wives cannot hold the attention of their husbands! I say those woman get a life and leave innocent kids alone! I am a 49 year old mother of a 19 year old and I find NOTHING inappropriate with this dress! What ever happened to freedom of expression!!!
Posted by: Randall Location: Kentucky on Nov 7, 2008 at 03:20 AM
Oh Yeah ... That's Ky. God's work ( the human body ) is disgusting, but saten's four letter words are just fine. You Go Girl! If your man is looking, well just maybe you should dress-up yourself. Get out of those jeans and tee shirts. As a man I do look at the sexy ladies in other states. It's easier to find a panda bear around here...BUMMER!
Posted by: Manny Location: Boston. on Oct 16, 2008 at 07:34 PM
I am ashamed at some of the puritanical and narrow views expressed in these comments. And this is coming from a yankee. She is dressed just fine, as many have noted. She bought the dress at the mall in question. If she is going to be publicly humilated like that and ejected from a public place, shouldn't the store that sold the dress get equal treatment?
Posted by: Richard Mullen Location: DC on Oct 8, 2008 at 08:49 AM
It seems any woman under a size 4 around here is going to be treated with hostility. Not surprising in this area and current overly PC environment. If those husbands were looking it should provoke some thought from the wives as to why.
Posted by: Matthew Location: Richmond on Sep 27, 2008 at 04:29 PM
She was kicked out beacuse she was sitting on the near the water fountain and everyone could see her underwear because her dressed was hiked up. I have a few friends that work in the mall and what she said happened was not the truth.
Posted by: Jeanna Location: Dallas, TX on Sep 20, 2008 at 10:26 AM
There's absolutely nothing wrong with what she's wearing. Why didn't the security guard kick the husbands out for oogling her?! Guess it's "only natural" for a man to stare at an attractive woman, so that type of behavior is warranted??!? Women should be able to dress how we want without worrying about being gawked at. Land of the free? It's called individuality, and everyone (men included) should be able to express themselves however they choose. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying run around naked. The security guard was obviously enforcing his personal opinion instead of doing his job. Sounds like another case of someone trying to justify their position.
Posted by: Lexie Location: Prince George BC on Sep 16, 2008 at 11:05 PM
Other than the dress being rather short, I can't see anything wrong with it. (Couldn't enlarge photo though). I've seen teenagers where short skirts like that to school. Hope she wore underwear! If you can see her lower private parts then I'd worry. I've seen men walk around with no shirt on around town and find it disgusting. As Marsha says this girl has a nice figure. Me, I think it was the wives that were complaining. I am over 200 lbs and female. I WISH I could dress like that -- people are just jealous. I hope she sues them for discrimination!
Posted by: Marsha Location: Huntington, w.v. on Sep 7, 2008 at 05:08 PM
This is silly, I wore dresses just as short in the 70's and was never kicked out of anywhere. So men looked, big deal. You should go to the Ashland town center mall in Ashland, ky. you'll see 300 pound women wearing some of the most exposing things that make you want to throw up, at least this girl has a figure to show off.
Posted by: sue Location: kentuck on Sep 5, 2008 at 07:53 PM
I have seen shorter dresses at Church ! A good lawyer will take you far with this one .As far as men I have had them stop me waring jeans & t-shirts.There is nothing wrong with being proud of who you are.Good luck girl.

Do you see men wearing "banana hammocks" and wife beaters in the mall? DO you want to?
Posted by: Ernie Location: Sacramento on Sep 4, 2008 at 02:42 PM
It's summer time and if someone does not like what a person is wearing they should look elsewhere why should she not be able to wear something bought at that same mall?
Posted by: Zaysha Location: Jacksonville, FL on Sep 4, 2008 at 02:41 PM
I'm glad she got put out. If the guys can't wear their pants down low, why should the women wear their dresses up high. I think that the guys should get together and sue for their civil rights being violated.
Posted by: alice888 Location: Virginia on Sep 4, 2008 at 12:36 PM
Puuuleeeze! I wore dressed shorter than that when I was in high school (1970's)!
Posted by: Nereida Location: Bronx on Sep 4, 2008 at 10:37 AM
America is a free country and you can wear whatever you feel like. if she was going to work or school with the dress i understand but the mall come on. For all the women that are writing nasty comments to her you got to stop hating. if you don't want your husband to be looking at other women take care of yourself. i'll bet that the woman complaining was all covered up. i mean just because you are married doesnt mean you can't dress sexy.
Posted by: doesnt mater Location: Los Angeles on Sep 3, 2008 at 02:21 AM
OMG I really thought it was really short. Ive seen woman with a lot shorter than that.
Posted by: phoebe Location: prestonsburg ky on Aug 29, 2008 at 01:51 PM
that is just unfair. a women has the right to wear what she wants and futher most that dress inst to short or showing to much. this should be pushed as far as she can push it. best of wishes girl and congrats on standing up for yourself.
Posted by: Kellie Location: Danville on Aug 25, 2008 at 08:34 PM
The woman probably whined to the security guard because she's so insecure about herself or her husband isn't the type that should "settle down." So what, the woman's got a nice body, if she wants to show it off, let her. It's of no concern to anyone else, and if your husband's eyes are glued to her, complain to him. The woman wasn't flaunting herself in front of him, right?
Posted by: Rhonda Location: Cynthyiana on Aug 25, 2008 at 12:13 PM
Let the young lady where what she wants. The store at the mall still has the dress for sale,if it's such a big deal then pull the dress from the shelf at the store. People wil always have something or someone to gripp about.
Posted by: Seymour Dupa on Aug 22, 2008 at 02:34 PM
Just by the way she is standing in the photo tells me she is a glory seeker. She got her attention now get over it.
Posted by: My Opinion Location: Somewhere out there on Aug 22, 2008 at 11:47 AM
Well I think that people should dress appropriate in places like that b/c of children I don't have kids but I mean you have to stop and think if she had to bend over FOR ANY REASON what might you see? I think you should dress your age and not like a teenager BESIDES there is ways you can dress classy without showing to much I think a dress like that should be for night clubs that's all.

You're right; after watching the video, she does sound like a female version of Elmer Fudd. Too funny. And by the way, she's not all that; I've seen much prettier than her and I think she's just average.

It would behoove parents to start instilling better morales in their kids while they are young. Parents should start measuring hem lines and no tight tops and boys would need to wear decent leg sized pants, (no tight pants and no baggies). Why have parents become so slack in raising their kids beyond giving them money and letting them rip and run wherever and whenever they want? Are parents that shallow these days? I say yes and things should start changing now before they get any worse. Decency, pride in oneself, morals, etiquette, manners, good hygiene and respect is what needs to be reinstilled in all of us NOW.

What makes you all think it was an "ugly" or "fat - overweight" woman who complained? Were you there? Why do some people automatically blame overweight people for the wrongs in society? I think some people are making a mountain out of a mole hill. Isn't there something else out there more important than this girl's hemline?
Posted by: Terrry Location: Arkansas on Aug 20, 2008 at 03:23 PM
What is the world coming to when a girl getting kicked out of a mall because of a dress (that covers all necessary parts of the body) makes national news? I can not imagine she walked into the mall with the expectation of national media attention. I would be willing to bet that for every pretty lady in the mall that day wearing a dress there was at least one obese woman wearing extremely tight clothes and possibly revealing much more than this lady's dress. Now if I or anyone was to complain about the "view" of an obese lady's exposure, we would be called discriminatory and the fat lady would win because this is America. Apparantly it is not land of the free for all, only for those who have nothing to be jealous of. I do not blame her one bit for obtaining an attorney. Perhaps she does like attention, but I would assume if the intention was to be on national headlines she would have done something a littel more interesting than wear a dress to a mail.

How far can you push it, kids even 20 year olds just have to find out. How fast can a car go, or total items can a thief steal before its a problem? This is the same, it's a matter of Morals and Principal. Slowly; America yeilds to tolerance and abandons that which is righteous and wholesome for all walks of life.

I really think this is why we have such problem in america with our teens are becoming pregnant every 5 minutes. Wonder where they learn it from. All young teens hang out at malls and if this is the message they are getting its no wonder that we have such a huge problem with young america becoming more sexually active, getting pregnant and not to mention the spreading of diseases. Young Adults such as this lady should really think about the message they are sending out and what they are saying about themselves!

The only problem i see is that older women are UPSET BECAUSE THIER HUSBAND ARE LOOKING AT ATTRACTIVE YOUNG WOMEN! SO HIT THE GYM LADY!AND GO EASY ON THE FAST FOOD !
Posted by: Mom of 3 girls on Aug 20, 2008 at 08:41 AM
To Kym's Mom: instead of showing your behind on here you should be helping your daughter cover her's. She is an attention seeking hound. She is apparently as obsessed with her looks as you are with them. You say she doesn't need attention because she is beautiful? I'll agree with the other person who posted a comment to you; how shallow is that? Your daughter needs to grow up. She is majoring in law and dresses like a tramp? She's not too smart if she is a law major; she should have known that she didn't have to stand there and let the security guard "look her up and down." I agree with the others that this could have been handled QUIETLY! But nooooo, Miss Attention Seeker wanted everyone to know who she was. Guess what? We now know who and what she really is about. It's a shame you can't see it. Good day!
Posted by: John Location: Frankfort on Aug 20, 2008 at 08:12 AM
Hmmm... I was a Security Guard at this mall when I attended Eastern. I know of no policy that would prohibit this dress from being worn there especially if it is sold there. What this boils down to is that some woman got jealous because her man looked at Kym and then went and cried to security. Of course, I do not understand why the guard made her twirl around and then looked her up and down while being in uniform and on the job. Anyhow, Kym is a pretty young lady and the dress, even though short, looks good on her to me. She is an adult and this is America so she can wear what she wants as long as it covers the neessary things. Go to the malls in Daytona Beach, Miami Beach, etc. and see what girls her age and younger wear. Heck, if I was a little younger I'd ask her out!
Posted by: Hope Location: KY on Aug 19, 2008 at 11:35 PM
I have to say that you obviously wear a dress like that when you want to get the attention of other people. It obviously worked since she got the attention of the security guard. However, I believe she intended to get a positive reaction instead of the negative one in which she received. If she bought that dress at the mall then she should certainly be able to wear it there but she should also be prepared when receiving negative feedback to her attire. I am sure if the security guard had complimented her on her 'lovely' dress she would have eaten that up and carried herself around the mall with her head held high! Since that was not the case, now she is upset. You can't have your cake and eat it too!
Posted by: Nora on Aug 19, 2008 at 08:36 PM
If she bought it at the mall she should be able to wear it at the mall! People in this country are getting as bad as the Muslims! Next they'll not want her going to the mall without a burqa and a male family member. Geeze get a life people!
Posted by: joanna Location: ky on Aug 19, 2008 at 07:13 PM
I think it was very disrespectful for her to go out in public dressed that way infront of other peoples husbands an children and besides its ashamed that she would wanna go out in public half naked another think about it is she must have been desperate for attention but i guess it didnt work the way she wanted it to

Posted by: Note to Mother in stanton on Aug 19, 2008 at 08:58 AM
You have just proved the point of everyone here. Your defense of your daughter is justified but the way you went about it shows us exactly where she got her "lack of class." You say she's beautiful so she doesn't need attention which means you are as shallow as a Hollywood celebrity. You think good looks are all it takes? Wake up lady. Your daughter probably thought the security guard was going to give her a compliment when he called her over and "looked her up and down" as she put it. Imagine her surprise when he didn't go "ga ga" over her. Why auction off a dress that anyone can buy at Deb's? Your daughter is not a celebrity. If SHE didn't go to the media with this story, she wouldn't be in this predicament. Things happen to people daily but they don't have to run to the media. Your daughter wanted the attention. This could have been settled quietly between your daughter and the mall (with or without lawyers). By the way, "trailor" is spelled "trailer." Your 15 minutes is up Kym!

I am Kyms MOM and I personally think she looks Beautiful I am extremly proud of her she has gone to college for 2 yrs and is majoring in law.She pays her own way and works very hard she is a wonderful daughter and an aunt to 3 girls so she is not only classy,intelligent,but she is always caring and loving she helps care for her grandmother who has had 3 strokes so I ask everyone to support her. Imagine if this was your daughter.Thank you who have supported her and please continue to just because she is beautiful in what she wears doesn't give them the right to disrespect her I am proud and honored to have such charming daughter who is not afraid to fight for her rights.

If she brought at the mall, she be able to wear it. This is a free country the last time i checked. I did not know that where was a clothes police.

I have worn worse than that to the mall and no one has ever said anything to me. I think that there's nothing wrong with the dress she wore. There's no dress code there so they should not have kicked her out.
Posted by: Aaron Location: Lexington on Aug 18, 2008 at 02:12 PM
This is what the mall is for. If they're going to start kicking them out then you might as well go to Walmart.

Maybe if the wives didn't DRAG their husbands to the mall, they would be more happy with their wives, and wouldn't have the want/need to oogle other good looking ladies.

Prevailing community standards? The scary thing is that people have so many problems with a pretty girl showing a bit of flesh and not the fact that there are bombs out there that can kill every person on earth a thousand times over. But enough of the rant, love her accent.

Let me get this straight... it's O.K. to have to look at a morbidly obese lawyer every other commercial on T.V., but a girl in a short dress is a problem? Maybe I'm living on the wrong planet.

My wife wears the same style of dresses this girl was wearing we never are asked to leave anywhere.I you look great in it wear it I see alot worse being wore by women.You looked great in that dress don't stop being yourself.
Posted by: Beverly Location: Letcher, Ky on Aug 17, 2008 at 02:27 PM
While the dress is on the short side, I know I have seen a lot worse than this! I mean seriously everyone knows they have seen a lot worse than this. If the husbands hadn't looked they would be considered gay, so look but don't stare and to the jealous wives, put you on something like this and then they will stare at you! If it were my husband and he stared a little to long, I would have smacked him on the back of the head! But a little glimpse isn't anything! And also to the people leaving that she is not a woman but a girl, come on now people after 18 your considered an adult. I have a child, so yes I understand the people saying dress better than that when going out in public. But these outfits are everywhere so one woman's dress is nothing in comparison!
Posted by: Beverly Location: KY on Aug 17, 2008 at 02:05 PM
While the dress is on the short side, I have seen a lot worse worn by people at the mall. The wives of the husbands looking should have been on their husband's behind for looking!
Posted by: Nathan Location: Indiana on Aug 17, 2008 at 08:20 AM
The security just wanted to check her out. She is a beautiful girl with a great body that makes a lot of women jealous. So be it. If the other women are that insecure about themselves, than they should do something about it.I have seen a lot worse things out in the public than the short dress. Discrimination of a great looking girl. She should be entitled to something for the wrong doing on her. I hope she goes through with all she can. The security guard should be relieved of his job and the mall to pay. The women who complained, get a life and take a look at yourself. If you are that jealous of this woman, then what about all the other women that have a nice body and dress nicely. They are everywhere, so don't say there not. Maybe they need to stop women from wearing the bikini top and there shorts while mowing there grass. I am sure that the mall would not kick out a man if he was very muscular and well built if he was wearing a tight tank top and a pair or tight shorts.
Posted by: Everett on Aug 15, 2008 at 08:19 AM
Just because you have seen people wearing a lot less doesn't make it right.(Yeah, I know, somebody made this comment on the other story about this girl). I thought it was so good, I had to use it.

She's a pretty girl in a pretty dress. It's not provocative or revealing. If people don't know her, they should just catch a glimpse and move on. The "Husbands" that are staring at her are the ones that should be kicked out of the mall.
Posted by: Vicky Location: Eastern KY on Aug 15, 2008 at 12:55 AM
First, I thought she looked fine. I agree that you will see worse walking into any school (across the nation from KY to CA). Second, for all of you out there who are putting down people from Eastern KY, calling us ignorant hillbillies, you should look at yourself and how many words you have misspelled. You shouldn't judge a whole region just because of the opinion of a few.
Posted by: Anonymous Location: Harlan on Aug 14, 2008 at 11:56 PM
Okay, this was kinda stupid. Everyone has been wearing these kinds of dresses and I dont think its a sin to show off your body!! This dress is really cute and if I had her body I would be flaunting in too and it should matter just as long as its long enough the cover the subject and short enough to keep it interresting!! I have seen people that wear shorter things to a funeral home. This is just about as bad as the lady getting kick out of walmart for cursing. Whats this world comming to?
Posted by: christy Location: kentucky on Aug 14, 2008 at 11:00 PM
I think she knew what she was doing. I mean, a "girl" of 20 years should know what is appropriate attire to shop at the mall and what is not. I agree with the mom who said we take our children to malls and we don't want them seeing TRASH like that. The whole world does NOT revolve around YOU honey, GET OVER IT! One more thing, it is clear that all this poor LITTLE GIRL wanted was ATTENTION. She's only after her 15 minutes of fame and MONEY $$$$$$!!!!!!
Posted by: TAB on Aug 14, 2008 at 10:44 PM
Uhh....just be happy she was covered ive seen many people who buy clothes too small for their bodies and as all of you know its not pretty besides shes in college and you cant say that you didnt do a few crazy things when you were in college (some were probably worse)
Posted by: Cyn Location: NE California on Aug 14, 2008 at 08:16 PM
I would like to meet the person who wanted this young lady to be kicked out of mall for wearing this dress. Is this person so insucure with themselfs and there relationship that they have to do something like this? Oh and hey she must have been looking too. If my husband did NOT look then something would be really wrong with him. I hope this young lady sue's the mall for harasment and wins. So to the woman who could not handle your husband looking Stay Home next time.
Posted by: ryan Location: poughkeepsie, NY on Aug 14, 2008 at 07:58 PM
That's the dress you wore? You should check into what kind of legal action you can take against the mall. A forced public apology may be all you can get, but it's worth it.
Posted by: M on Aug 14, 2008 at 06:17 PM
I have wore a dress similar to this one and nothing was said to me. Just because a young girl wears revealing clothes and some woman's husband stares at her, it doesn't mean that she should get kicked out! Just because she may not look that good anymore doesn't mean she should get upset. If you don't want to see it, don't look. I have saw people there and didn't agree with their fashion choices but it's not that big of a deal!

I know this girl personally. She's THRIVES on attention so let this be known this is probably her main stay of doing this. She's loving every minute of it and was probably being very provactive at the mall when she was excorted out. That's a family place and she needs to learn the difference and take it to the clubs. She's been like this since high school.

The mall shouldn't sell clothing that they don't want their customers to wear back into the mall. Don't sell anything that you think that a person should not wear into the Richmond mall. or any mall as a matter of fact.

Posted by: Sherry Location: Lexington on Aug 14, 2008 at 01:41 PM
The dress looks no worse than any other outfit any young person is wearing now days, I dont like the dress myself, but, if your are going to let one dress that way then you should let all of the younger age group dress that way.
Posted by: BCM Location: Prestonsburg on Aug 14, 2008 at 01:36 PM
Maybe the dress itself wasn't the problem. Maybe the security guard thought that this young lady could be setting herself up to be assaulted. In that case,, he did the right thing and yes the dress was inappropriate. I agree that anyone should be able to wear or not to wear anything they choose, but when you work in the field of security, i.e. protecting others, sometimes you have to protect people from themselves.
Posted by: Jeff Location: Lexington on Aug 14, 2008 at 01:29 PM
She is not as hot as you people are saying. She isn't bad but there are millions much better looking than her. She seems a bit trashy to me and her use of the English language seems somewhat limited. If she turns you guys on, sobeit, but please quit making it sound like she is the hottest thing out there. Her head will explode. By the way, I agree with the one poster who said she probably thought she was going to get a compliment from the security guard when he asked to look at her outfit. After that, SHE contacted the news media. The attention she is getting was brought on by her and nobody else. She could have pursued this matter WITHOUT the media's help. Your private business should not become everybody's business but that is what she made it. What started out as a plea for the media's help will eventually make her look worse than when this started. I'm waiting to see what happens on YouTube.
Posted by: deb Location: nj on Aug 14, 2008 at 01:16 PM
This girls-she is not old enough to be called an adult is in a top not a dress. Sold in the NJ malls here as a top with leggings. It clearly is a top. The "look" is longer this year including sweater jackets. If you look at the still picture the dress is super short. The video shows her holding her dress down and a t-shirt is under it. I wonder if she was wearing it that way in the mall. You can wear a club dress to the clubs not at the mall. Just like beachwear is for the beach. Suing? Wow! American has gone straight to the point of no responsibility whatsoever and lets rake cash from anyone who hurts our feelings.

Yeah she does have every right to where the dress but there is a time and a place for it. It is a private business and they have every right to make their own rules and that is one of them, that people can't have short clothing on. She isn't the first who has been kicked out because of their clothing, you dont see them crying about it. Kym is just wanting the attention and now she has got it. She is the one who called the news cast. And are you kidding me, she wants to auction it off and give it to charity, she is a want a be goodytoshoe.

Posted by: Vivian Location: Roanoke, Virignia on Aug 14, 2008 at 09:41 AM
Since she bought it at the store, does the store have to stop selling it? There's nothing wrong with that dress. I have worn lower cut items all over Richmond KY. At least she isn't wearing something from "The Fast and Furious II". AND to whomever said what would happen if she bent over, she wouldn't bend over. Girls wearing short skirts stoop to pick up what they want. What I want to know is what cave the operators of the Richmond Mall have been living in? They much have been there since the 1890's. What genius let them out and put them in charge of a mall? Personally, I like to dress the way Kymberly does. I'm taking all future business to Lexington or on-line.

I dont understand what the problem is if any of u open ur eyes and look around this same make of dress is on young people every where it's style and just like in the 80's people didnt like the short skirts and tight sweater's but no one ever got thrown out of a mall I think people should stant up for this girl she was judge for what is fashion just because it is not to someone eles likeness does not mean this beutiful young lady should have been treated this way I wanna why this guard still has a job ????

Posted by: Kelly Location: London on Aug 14, 2008 at 01:13 AM
I think the dress was cute. I saw nothing provocative in the pictures. I think Kym probably caught the attention of a couple jealous females and in retaliation they summoned a security guard. Which took matters into his own hands and over exaggerated the situation all together. And if the security guard did act on the will of his employer, then my suggestion to them is; pick the casual clothes you sell in your mall more carefully, if you don't want them wearin it back then don't sell it! Good Luck Kym.

What if it was a 50 year old woman wearing that dress, would the same thing happen. Would the 50 year old be asked to leave because her dress is too short, probably not. I think it is age of the woman, even though the 20 year old should be able to wear what she wants too.

I'm not sure why this is a news story. Didn't Kymberly get the attention she was seeking when she decided to wear what she wore? I think she did--end of story. Even though I wouldn't wear it, I don't think the dress/top was inappropriate to the point to justify getting kicked out of the mall. But I did find this story humorous because this girl acted all indignant that some guy "stared [her] up and down," but why would she wear such a short dress/top with such a deep neckline if attention wasn't what she set out to get???
Posted by: Cindy Location: Lexington on Aug 13, 2008 at 06:26 PM

I looked through these comments and I see some support but I also see a bunch of haters. Richmond is a college town, be concerned at the people running around the streets naked after bong hits don’t hate on Kym there’s nothing wrong with her dress. She’s fully covered what more do you want a pretty girl to dress up in Arab garb? Don’t hate cuz you can’t keep your husband under control when he looks at us Kentucky girls, it’s true, we can do em much better then you can. What about the girls that go to the mall, after getting off work at Hooters, what they get a free pass? I wear a lot less to the malls and no one hates, had a few guys walk into walls, but no one hates.

I dont like what this means i dont beleave her outfit is obsene she looks fine u go to mall across the country and every one wears those dress's and if its not a dress it sure looks like one and that should not be the point it was not to revealing for the mall and i believe that she has the right to wear it as what ever aslong as others do not see her private area's and we as kentuckian's realy need to move with the times this is the second time in a week a woman has been kicked out of somewhere in madison county because others that it was not proper mind ur own morals and let other decide there's and yes i have a daughter and i would have no problem with her wearing that dress it is her right to express her self any way she wants..

So what is so offensive about the dress. I find more offensive are the men and women at the mall, church, school, grocery, etc. with rolls of fat pushing on the seams of their clothing. Oh my gosh, your husband looked at some eye candy.

You people of the ignorant states make me laugh! The Muslims would love you because you make their argument for Sharia Law, and you ugly women worrying about your husband's roving eyes would be forced to wear a burka from head to toes. This girl would also be forced to cover up. Is that what you really want in our "free America"? Here in 108 degree Arizona, she's way over dressed for a visit to the local mall. She needs to move here and get away from you idiots!
Posted by: confused Location: lexington on Aug 13, 2008 at 10:52 AM
Ok, so does this mean that since we go to Victoria's Secret to buy certain types of clothing, then we have the "right" to go show them off at the mall? Come on, this is an open and shut case. There's a time and place to where certain types of clothing. The mall isn't a place to flaunt your body. It's a place to shop. Go to the clubs or become a stripper if all you're concerned about is showing off everything you have! We have little children who are shopping at the mall and this is the kind of trash they have to see. If my daughter tried to leave the house to go to the mall looking like that, she'd be showing some red marks on the back of her legs!

good lord. i live in richmond and cannot believe this.. i have been to that mall numerous times and seen MUCH worse than that dress.

When mini-skirts were all the rage in the late '60's, I would wear some to work and to do shopping---in the winter but with colored tights ! No one ever said I wasn't dressed appropriately. The length of her outfit reminds me of the length of mini-skirts back then. However,I only wore mini's to parties in the summer---not to go out shopping. What she has on , in my opinion, would make a great party dress ! If the mall said it was a "shirt", I wonder if they had it paired with slacks or other apparel on display so there would be no mistake as to the type of garment it is
Posted by: Jeb Location: Ky on Aug 13, 2008 at 10:18 AM
She bought it there so she should be able to wear it there? Let's use that same rationale in other situations. 1) Cigarettes - I bought them there so I should be able to smoke them there (wrong, smoking in stores is prohibited most places now). 2) Condoms - I bought it there I should be able to use it there (wrong, you get arrested for sex in public). 3) Guns - I bought it there I should be able to use it there (wrong, shooting a gun in a public store is illegal). 4) Liquor - I bought it in the store I should be able to drink it there (wrong, drinking in public, unless a bar or restaurant is illegal). Do you get it now? I just think she is a person who wants or needs attention to feel legitimate. Sorry sweetie, after your interview and the hiring of a lawyer depleted any credibility you had. EVERYTHING bad that happens in your life doesn't require the need to call the media. You lose!
Posted by: Shannon Location: Winchester on Aug 13, 2008 at 09:29 AM
The mall said it was a shirt. Doesnt look like a shirt to me. Personally, I think it is short, but who cares? I dont see anything hanging out of it. She doesn't look bad. We have bigger things to worry about than this
Posted by: Bill on Aug 13, 2008 at 08:55 AM
Why do you think men go to the mall??? You really think its for the shopping??Kym you look great,be proud.Every man in Ky. is on your side.
Posted by: ken Location: florida on Aug 13, 2008 at 05:30 AM
They have no right to ask her to leave cause it just a dress and she brought it so she could wear it any where she wan and trust me a seen worse where i live there people who would just go to store in there bra and buy stuff....You should sue the mall cause you bought the dress and you can wear it any where you like and for there husband to look at you who can blame can blame them right....

Women are far too competitive with each other. This shows how many women have minority complexes, otherwise they would let their husbands or companions enjoy the aesthetics of other beautiful women instead of asking mall guards to suppress other women from expressing their beauty.
Posted by: Jeff Location: Canada on Aug 13, 2008 at 03:18 AM
Some of you people need to get out more. There was nothing wrong with that dress. If women are worried their husbands were looking at Ms Clem, they should talk to their husbands, not blame her --
Posted by: Joe Tareyton Location: Newport on Aug 13, 2008 at 02:59 AM
As a male in these PC times, you can get sued for looking. Now, a woman gets in trouble because she's inviting looks. I'm not sure if this is an encouraging development or just depressing. It appears that some folks ain't gonna be happy unless everyone is running about covered head to toe with veils over our eyes. She's a fine looking woman, but that's really beside the point. Since when did this mallcop become the grand ole arbiter of good taste? He should stick to his knitting and watch out for kids playing on the escalators, teens talking too loudly, old folks moving too slowly, and people who are "just looking"...in other words, real criminals. Ha!
Posted by: Kelly Location: KY on Aug 13, 2008 at 02:14 AM
Here's an idea. If you're going to the mall, put some clothes on. A tight shirt and a pair of tight jeans would have gotten the same attention but no one would have been asked to leave. If you're going out to the clubs, wear that dress. Someone needs to send that security guard to Fayette Mall and have him do the same thing to some people who walk around there. And a mall has the right to refuse service for whatever reason they want.
Posted by: michelle on Aug 12, 2008 at 11:41 PM
Civil rights violation? Seriously? Since when is there a "right to bear skin in public malls" ammendment in the consititution? Malls, and all businesses, have the right to enforce a dress code for patrons and employees. It's not a protected right. Your lawsuit is dead in the water.
Posted by: Marion Location: Ohio on Aug 12, 2008 at 11:26 PM
I'm a 53 year old mother and grandmother of five. Personally, I don't see anything wrong with the dress that Kim is wearing. At my age, I couldn't wear it of course, but this young girl may as well enjoy that body while she has it. She's fully covered, and I don't know why this made our news here in Ohio. Not to open another can of worms, but I'm more offended by women who openly breast feed in public. You can bet that it was insecure women who complained about this girls dress and asked to have her removed from the mall. Get over it ladies! Aging is a natural thing, but if you're secure in who you are, and your relationship with your husband, young girls within your husbands view shouldn't be a problem. Besides, don't pretend as if you never look twice at a good looking man - I sure do!
Posted by: James Location: Stanford on Aug 12, 2008 at 10:14 PM
Well I think it was better then some that I have seen and it is ok with me if she wear the dress. I think some lady was having a problem keeping her man's eye in his head is all.

I really do not think that they should of made her leave the mall.Just because she looked good and the men and women could not stop looking at her.The way that I see it is if you look as good as she does then you should be able to dress how ever you want to and give the people something good to look at instead of these fat people like me.I say go for it Kymberly just be tasteful in doing it.

I believe the mall should have the right to ask anyone to leave if they please. And about her being offended or embarrassed by being asked to leave.... well, I think putting herself on the news proves that is not the case. Also, I buy underwear in the mall but would not wear it to the store, at least not just underwear. You can also purchase evening gowns. I probably wouldn't have asked her to leave (even though she should cover herself a little more) but still stand by the right of the owners of the mall to ask her to leave.

Posted by: Max Location: Chicago on Aug 12, 2008 at 05:24 PM
"The mall - like any other private establishment - has the right to refuse service to anyone." Not true. They couldn't refuse service to somebody because of their race. They couldn't refuse service to somebody who was disabled. Granted, those are protected classes, but the point is that you cannot be summarily removed from a semi-public area reason without cause. Can somebody explain the legal basis for which the guard had the woman forcibly removed? Just 'cause Gomer didn't like how she looked in her purty dress ain't a valid legal standing, even in Richmond.

Richmond Mall security, have really screwed up on this one. let me guess, some woman(women), who could pressure the guards, possibly competition from another store, got this girl kicked out. Sounds like a civil rights violation to me..The settlements gonna be sweet young lady. I wonder, why the womens husbands that were caught gawking at her have such low self esteem to have gotten a young girl tossed from a mall..Sounds like the problems at home and not on the body of a 20 ish hottie in a mall.

Well this saddens me when I moved to Richmond three years ago I thought i was moving to a more tolerant part of Kentucky. The mall has lost my business and I am going to write a letter of complaint to the management, the corporate owners of the mall, and anyone who owns or runs a store in the mall to say that I will not shop there until it is confirmed that they have apologized and made amends with Ms. Clem.
Posted by: Mike Location: KCMO on Aug 12, 2008 at 02:29 PM
"SUE SUE SUE!!! take the mall for all it's worth. they no legal right to do what they did and it's just wrong." There are no grounds to sue. The mall - like any other private establishment - has the right to refuse service to anyone. There is no injustice here. This kind of thing happens all of the time at malls around the country. Malls don't have just a "no shirt, no shoes, no service" rule. They have a "decency/family environment" rule. Some malls ban "gang" attire specifically. I'm sure this rule isn't strictly enforced. It's probably only done in a situation like the one in this story - someone else complained about it.
Posted by: Anonymous Location: KY on Aug 12, 2008 at 01:56 PM
I wonder how many complaints the security office received before doing this--one? Ten? She has worn more revealing clothing to the mall before?? Ooh! She's classy! She should move to Miami! I was shopping in Bal Harbour and saw a woman wearing a long, flowing, very thin halter dress. It had vertical brown, black and sheer stripes. The sheer stripes were strategically placed--showing each breast. She was getting some looks, too!Both of these women dressed for attention. I don't think Kymberly should have been asked to leave----she's just guilty of thinking "cheap" is pretty.
Posted by: Bryan Location: Yankee on Aug 12, 2008 at 01:48 PM
Rediculous! She looked fine and the dress is more conservative than what some young teenagers wear in public. She's obviously no Einstein, but that doesn't mean she doesn't have the right to wear that dress, especially when she looks so good in it.

A bunch of dirty, narrow minded puritans.

Who says it was a holy roller who made the girl leave for how she was dressed. Granted she was covered but if you were at WalMart here one time and see how men oggle young women trying to see up their clothes she may think twice how she dresses. Just a thought. Some men are horrid and maybe the guard saw this happen. Who knows alot involved just beware of your surroundings dressed like that. Sad to say but this day and time plenty of crazies out there.
Posted by: Jay Location: Canada on Aug 12, 2008 at 12:56 PM
It's about time someone stood up for evryone's rights. I don't like taking my youg kids to a mall and seeing girls dressed like srtippers and it should be my right to not have to see that, as much as it is her right to dress that way. Easy awnser here if you're going out in the public eye dress for success not the pole. I think the mall has the right to cater to who they want it's not public property!
Posted by: Mimi Location: Cinti on Aug 12, 2008 at 12:53 PM

It would only be provacative if she weren't suited to the dress. But she is and if other husbands were interested, then it's their problem not hers. She should be appreciative that she turned heads. Perhaps the problems is with the wives. And that's not for Ms. Clem to resolve.
Posted by: lookatme Location: here on Aug 12, 2008 at 12:18 PM
You people are forgetting, the mall is PRIVATE property;it isn't owned by the city, state, or country. The owners can refuse service to anyone they want. It is their RIGHT to do so; just as it is your right to set the rules in your own home or business. A lot of you people are sue happy and you need to get a grip.
Posted by: T Location: Colorado on Aug 12, 2008 at 11:51 AM
Well her last statement says it all, "i hate God" t-shirts are offensive, but she should be able to wear what she wants. you know i do think its an over reaction, BUT hey if we can stop doing the pledge of allegiance and national anthem because it offends, then if her lack of clothing offended they have the right to complain in my book.

It doesn't appear that they teach forensics, debate, declamation, critical thinking, or any form of logic in the great sovereign state of Kentucky these days. Some evidence of that claim: "The dress is 3 sizes too small." Uh, no. No it isn't. It doesn't pucker, gap, wrinkle, or show any signs of strain. The most cursory visual inspection should have revealed that. "She bought it there; she should be able to wear it there." Know what? I buy my tightie-whiteys at Wal-Mart, but I don't think they'd much appreciate it if I decided to show up there wearing them (and nothing else). Of course, I'm not a hot 20-something female. Kymmie, you should come shop at the Mall of America. We're much more open-minded in Minnesota, and would very much appreciate earning your shopping dollar. Wear the dress.

It seems to me like the guard was doing her a favor. If she was there the day before buying the dress, what the [edited] was she doing back? Was she there to show off her new dress? The store she bought the dress from should take the lead on this one. I mean, how often does the mall get new things? She seems like a real winner.

In the video, she just has the halter part of the dress on, note the whole dress. So that is why her top is showing from the sides and she is holding it down because it is not actually on her and looks quite breezy out. Just your normal summer halter dress.
Posted by: cr Location: dc on Aug 12, 2008 at 09:27 AM
If she was legally covered and within posted dress standards (like the "No shoes, no Shirt, no service" signs on some establishments), then she not have been harassed. Wearing such a skimpy dress anywhere outside a nightclub may be tacky, but tacky is not illegal.
Posted by: Bob Roberts Location: Korea (South) on Aug 12, 2008 at 09:21 AM
FAQ: So, according to your logic you or someone else should serve as the "perv police" and determine what is and what's not appropriate for wear in public spaces? Understandably, there are socially and albeit vague, legally defined standards of "decency" but I'd argue that based on the posted pictures you'd have a hard time arguing that this individual violated either.
Posted by: Rick Location: Texas on Aug 12, 2008 at 09:00 AM
I think the young lady should seek Legal Counsel and 1) have the guard in question removed from his position. 2) seek monetary compensation for the embarassment of being removed from a public place 3) prosecute the security company for showing undue prejudice. This young lady did not reveal any part of her person to the guard and the men that was (probable) was just looking at a nice young lady. Now when has that ever been a crime? The judicial system should have a voice in representing this young lady.
Posted by: RDC Location: Frozen North on Aug 12, 2008 at 08:46 AM
Simple solution: make all public venues "clothing optional". Once all the prudes die from collective apoplexia, we can get back to shopping. Maybe once people got over this Puritanical desire to remove all hint of sexuality from the Public, we can get back to thinking about real issues.
Posted by: Jay Location: NewYork on Aug 12, 2008 at 08:25 AM
Let's be honest here. The problem most likely wasn't the dress, it was the madly attractive woman wearing it. If some flat chested, acne faced mother of 2 had worn that dress to the mall, noone would have complained, because noone would have been jealous.

to all those commenting on "she bought it there", did you ever stop to think she might have bought a reasonable piece of clothing, just 3 sizes too small? How would you like it if I paraded my junk around in some skin-tight speedos? The point is, unless you are having relations with someone, you shouldn't know where every curve of their body starts and ends.. in the male brain especially. We are very visual. VERY VISUAL. It kick-starts this part of our brain that is not good for that said woman's image. When I see a girl like that, I think.. " I wonder what 'talents' she has that put that awesome figure to use". Wish I didn't think that, but I'm wired a certain way, you see... just a little insight into the "pervs" mind.
Posted by: R Location: Frankfort on Aug 12, 2008 at 07:29 AM
The dress looked great on her and it is stupid and backwoods for the mall to sell the dress but not allow her to wear it. I guess they gave Barney Fife a job at the mall? On the other hand it would be nice for the saggy pants on guys to be banned. How someone can think they look cool when it appears they are walking around with a loaded diaper is beyond me.
Posted by: Tammy Location: Piscataway, NJ on Aug 12, 2008 at 07:28 AM
She should wear it proudly! There are far more revealing dresses than that little one sold in the mall. If you got it, display it proudly - but within legal limits of course. If other husbands and boy friends can't keep their eyes off of another woman, then their woman needs to dress up a little more for their man (either in the mall or at home) - especially if their woman is that concerned about their relationship.

Simply put, who cares? People on here are saying things like the men shouldnt look. If she didnt want me to look she wouldnt put it on. Besides that, so what if someones wife complains. Its not the girls fault, its the wives that dont take care of their husbands well enough. If they did the husbands wouldnt look at the girl. So back to the security guard, maybe he should be apologizing, but who cares if her feelings were hurt? It doesnt matter in the big scheme of things, she is just another whiney baby. Now shut yer pie hole, and get me another sammich.

Man, a lot of y'all sure have a different view of the world. I agree with the previous poster who reckoned that what this young lady was wearing is much better than seeing some overweight woman (or man) with a flabby belly hanging out. (There should also be a law against selling stretch clothes any bigger than about a size 10.) I also find it perplexing to see how many assumed Christian people don't want to see an attractive body - one of God's fine creations. Who are you to say what it "moral"? Morals are something you should hold yourself up to...not others.

Are the people who run that mall really that backwards? Seriously? The whole reason for this fiasco was "people's husbands" looking at her? Maybe these "people" shouldn't shop somewhere that sells clothing they find unacceptable. The only thing wrong with this picture is the jealous old biddies that complained about an attractive young lady. I can't believe the mall took this seriously. That's some mighty fine security guard work there, Lou. Maybe the guards could get back to actually providing security and leave the moral police in the Middle East.

Oh whatever to some of you whining about revealing clothing. I've seen what some of you baby-boomers wore so stop being nancy-pants hypocrites. At what point in your lives did you turn into bitter people? Have some perspective and realize what you were like when you were younger and knock it off with the "WON'T SOMEONE THINK OF THE CHILDREN!" It's tired and boring. Grow up.

ladies husbands were not sick of seeing her the ladies were jealous.peoples clothes does not make them a bad person.i have a skin disease and where long sleeves and pants all year round except for at home.i would love to be able to wear this dress.if i had the body and the skin i would as they say "if you have it flaunt it" something may not be your style but it might be someone elses.a person can wear sexy clothing or a person can wear non sexy clothing but what is in their heart and mind is what counts.believe me working in a jail i have seen people from all walks of life and dressed in many ways.it is not a persons clothing that makes them.for people to judge what kind of person someone is based on clothing and not knowing or ever have met that person is just wrong.i would rather not be so caught up in what my kids wear or what music they listen to and focus more on teaching them morals, standards and manners.clothes are on the outside what we teach our kids is on the inside.think!!

If you all went to this mall on most given days, you'd realize how rude and discriminating the Richmond mall is. They are losing mass customers, do to "loitering" when someone is sitting at a table, drinking a milkshake. I don't call the threats, and people stalking (of which they do) part of a family friendly environment, do you?

Posted by: LInda Location: Berea on Aug 11, 2008 at 10:03 PM
Well I see no problem with her dress and think more women should be built that good that they could wear that. Sounds like a bunch of jealous busy body women upset that there men was looking, I have a hard time believing men was complaining!!! I think she is cute eye candy and yes I wish I looked that good and I would be concerned if my man didn't look at thaat eye candy...If you dont like looking turn your head and shut your mouth. Honey I think you are adorable...

On the first photo of the young woman asked to leave the mall, you can see a yellow t-shirt showing all the way down the side of the dress. The second photo with her arms to her side, there's no t-shirt. Is the dress cut out all the way down the side of the dress? If so, then that was absolutely inappropriate to wear in public without a t-shirt underneath. Was she wearing the t-shirt in the mall?
Posted by: duh Location: berea on Aug 11, 2008 at 09:01 PM
Of course you wear something this skimpy you will get stares from all sorts of guys. It looks like it was 3 times too small for her. If you don't want people too stare wear clothes that FIT !!!!
Posted by: Carissa on Aug 11, 2008 at 08:43 PM
It's crazy! If you're 20 you have the right to wear what you want to when you want to. It's a free country if they want to have a dress code put it on the door but other than that you have the right.
Posted by: Jen Location: Berea on Aug 11, 2008 at 07:16 PM
True that it is a trashy outfit. I don't know what common sense tells our young people (FYI: I'm in my 20s myself) that this is what is cool to wear to the mall. The club--yes, but these other casual places--no way! I saw girls dressed the same way at the movies last weekend. I bet they were cold! Until we change society's views on this sort of over-sexual display, I guess mall security shouldn't be saying anything about it though. That is, of course, if she wasn't having any Janet Jackson moments in that dress. I am fairly certain by the looks of it that she would be exposing things upon bending over. Remember-- we haven't heard from the security guard yet. I'll be curious to hear his or any witness opinions.
Posted by: green on Aug 11, 2008 at 07:03 PM
Its shorter then what I would wear to go shopping but she is still fully covered. As far as I know malls are not like schools that have specific dress codes (other then the basic, no shirt, no shoes no service). As long as nothing is showing she should be able to wear what she wants.
Posted by: Anonymous Location: mt vernon on Aug 11, 2008 at 06:23 PM
She has the right to wear what she wants as long as it is not indecent exposure. By looking at the picture I could not see any personal private body parts being revealed. As parents we know that children will see and then do as they see. If you do not agree with what she was wearing and you may have had children to see her then talk to them. You as a parent must take control not the security person at the mall. She did not break any laws by wearing the dress in the mall. If you don't like what you see--turn the other way. People need to be more concerned about what is going on at home--not the mall. The mall is a public place and as an adult you should expect to see anything. I have seen much worse at the mall myself. As time goes on we will continue to see the same and worse than that.

I wonder does this mall have a lingerie store in it? She was covered more than the models are in those stores....and the store posters on the walls. And as for the women's husbands that could not take their eyes off the girl, well they are the ones who have a problem and need to leave the mall.

I think it is crazy when you cant dress in everyday clothes when the kids today wear what ever they want and the young lady didnt have any thing showing that didnt need to be. She was fully covered and I believe GOD is the only one to judge..... NOT THE WHOLE WORLD

Whats wrong with the dress? Honestly I've seen worse on sunday morning at church from some people. If we are going to complain about this and then still watch the music videos with the booty shaking, then isn't that a little hypocritical. I say be free to wear what you want as long as your of age to buy it on your own.
Posted by: Darlene Location: KY on Aug 11, 2008 at 02:53 PM
If you don't like what you see, turn ya head and if ya don't want ya hubby's looking, leave them at home. Men are animals and that is what they do is LOOK. Why be so jelous! Me myself, I would call the store and tell them they need to put a sign with the dress...Can buy it here but can't wear it here! She is a beautiful person and did nothing wrong. I would file a suit just to show them she is not in the wrong! Get over it people. Like most on here said, better then fat rolls hanging out, bootys showing and so on. Get real.

I'd rather see individual expression in dress versus seeing all the women dressed like the Holiness Church females wearing long jean skirts and all having their hair done up the same way. Nothing wrong with being an individual and like Michael said; "If you got it, flaunt it." I'll add; because you won't have it forever! I'll look and I have no remorse or reservations about it. Am I a perv? Heck no, just you normal guy who doesn't bow to pressure from the Holy Rollers or other do-gooders.

Posted by: Gail Location: Lawrenceburg on Aug 11, 2008 at 12:56 PM
Jason, if you want to keep it more appropriate in stores, then talk to the stores. Ms. Clem looks very nice in her dress. If you want to complain about what people are wearing, what about wearing hipsters and belly shirts when you are about 3 sizes to large for them? Don't get me wrong, I am a large woman. However, you will never get me to wear spandex, hip huggers, or a belly shirt, look in the mirror and say, "MMMM-MMMM, don't I look good?" As long as Ms. Clem acts like a lady and crosses her legs when she sits, leave her alone.

There is nothing wrong with the dress. Everyone has eyes and they do look cause it is natural. If the wives can't handle it, then they shouldn't watch their husband looking. I tell mine look but don't touch.
Posted by: DARE Location: E Ky on Aug 11, 2008 at 11:40 AM
I agree with "C". If the mall sells it, then one should be able to wear it. Go back honey, and get your refund! While your at it, get you a good attorney! Since when did the security guard become the fashion police?

If she bought the dress in the mall then should be aloud to wear the dress. I think she was really pretty in the dress. I would much rather see this than the black garbage and the pants to the knees the boys wear. I say leave her alone. She was really pretty in her outfit.

It is OK to sell the dress but not to wear it back to the same mall you purchased it??? Anything goes in the name of commercialism but human rights are not viewed with the same open mindedness. We are being told what we can eat, where we can smoke, and now what we can or can not wear! The freedoms this country was built on is crumbling in small but sure ways. Kymberly, I think you look great. I saw a lot shorter, tighter, and more revealing dresses at the Fayette Mall yesterday, I'm just not as insecure regarding my husbands wandering eye as others seem to be.

Posted by: Not Impressed Location: Richmond on Aug 11, 2008 at 10:54 AM
Y'all she isn't the first to be put out of the mall, no one else makes such a big deal about it. Some businesses DO have dress codes, and they have the right to ask a person to leave if they aren't dressed accordingly. And I REALLY doubt that she was told it was because people's husbands were looking at her, she's made that up for more attention. I'd have to see or hear it from 10 people who aren't her, or her friends to believe that. It's a young girl trying to get noticed.

If you think that is bad, you should have seen what I did at the Fayette Mall in Lexington on Friday. A obese woman was wearing only a black bra. It wasn't a pretty site either. She also started cursing at us because we went around her when she stopped walking. She definetly needed to be throw out of there. I had two teenage girls with me at the time. If we weren't leaving I would have gotten the security people myself.

Posted by: shopper on Aug 11, 2008 at 09:52 AM
yeah, it's a fine line between "appropriate" and "loss of civil rights." i agree with the mall on this one. but if they booted her out, there are a lot more who also need to be booted out. a little off topic, but another thing that bugs me is when men sit in the women's try-on area waiting for their wives/girlfriends to try on things. completely inappropriate. i understand she wants him to see her in it before she buys it, but there has to be another way. use your stinking camera phone and send him a pic.

While I think the dress is too short for some people I think, based on the picture, she was covered. I do see people (men and women alike) wearing less and less in the hopes that they are sexy or attractive. I don't think we should condemn her. Now myself, I would have worn tights or leggings under the dress to make it more day appropriate. Should the mall pay her for her "suffering" probably not. Should the security officer have handled a little better, yes.

Why do people (girls/women)feel the need to walk out of the house with half their bits hanging out their tops and two half moons peeking out of their three inch shorts? So what if you "got it"? Most people don't want to see it! Let's be real--the dress (I use that term loosely) is a bit too revealing. I say if she wants to be noticed that badly, go make a home vid and put it on YouTube! Maybe Hef will spot it and she can lose the dress and claim her 15 minutes of fame on page 24 of Playboy!

This is the united stated not Iraq or one of those other places with strict rules for women. Her rights as a us citezen have been violated and action needs to be taken. Men should have quit looking and the women need not be so jealous if that was the case. Kind of sounds like the security guard was checking her out too. This is stupid and I see nothing wrong with the dress.

Posted by: Michael Location: Richmond on Aug 11, 2008 at 08:10 AM
I say if you got it, flaunt it and boy does she have it. The only problem is...you don't have to act like you are "it." Of course guys will look; that's why we have eyes. The Richmond Mall is losing business because its stores are moving out to the new shopping area on the other side of the by-pass. I don't know why the would turn a shopper away for something like this. How stupid. Were here buttocks showing? It's funny we let fat people walk through the mall with their fat belly hand out past their shirt but a good looking woman like Kymberly gets turned away. I'd rather look at her than the overweight, sloppily dressed cows that parade through there.

Posted by: c Location: fkt on Aug 11, 2008 at 06:50 AM
If the mall doesn't want you to wear their clothing back to the mall, then they shouldn't sell it in the first place. Clothes today are sicking, the manufacturers are not making decent clothes to wear! The clothes are either too short or too revealing, even right down to the children's clothes especially little girls. My daughter won't wear anything that's on the shelves now. I make her wear jeans and t-shirts because she's not going to wear that stuff that makes her look "sexy" at five years old! This woman should take the dress back to the mall and demand a refund!

Why not just go to a nude beach instead of the mall? Then when you slip out of your clothing, TO BE SEEN - (that's the whole point, isn't it, to "DISPLAY" one's self, to look provocative and maybe a little bit desperate? At the beach you will not create a disruption or distraction. Your lack of attire would be welcome, I'm sure If you don't know what is generally considered appropriate attire for a mall, certain restaurants, churches, commercial airlines or other public places, just go online to Yahoo Answers. They can help.

She needs to learn to check herself before leaving the house, get yourself a mirror sweetie and bend over in front of it! If ya see undies (or no undies) then ya need more clothes on. Personally, I wouldn't care what people wear out in public, however, that mall is typically a family type environment, so I do think it's common sense to dress sensibly in places where there is and will be young kids.
