Mall security harrass man with pink hair and heels.
Posted by Capri on June 29, 2007
She has pink hair, pink lips, and stands close to seven feet tall in pink platform shoes.
She also happens to be a man.
Amanda realizes her appearance is out of the ordinary, but says it’s no excuse for being kicked-out of Carousel Mall.
“I have never been harrassed,” she said, “except by the mall security.”
Several weeks ago, a security officer asked that she not return to the premises wearing a wig and heels, Amanda said. He did not specify why.
The posted dress code states, “The wearing of apparel which is likely to provoke a disturbance or embroil other groups or the general public in open conflict is prohibited.”
Carousel/DestiNY spokesman David Aitken would not say whether Amanda’s appearance violated that policy, but noted that the security officer’s actions were prompted by several complaints. He would not elaborate any further.
Amanda said she has repeatedly sought clarification from mall management, but no one has returned her phone calls.
She said, until then, she will continue to shop “at her own risk.”
