This one takes the cake for what may be one of the weirdest stories of the day, if for no other reason than the business involved.

Curvy Manhattan Lingerie Store Worker Says She Was Fired For Being ‘Too Hot’

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Fired for being too hot?

That is precisely what a woman who worked at a Fifth Avenue lingerie store claims happened to her.

Lauren Odes, a curvy 29-year-old, said she was working at Native Intimates in the Garment District when one day her supervisor claimed the male Orthodox Jewish owners weren’t comfortable with her attire.

I’m not questioning the owner’s right to own and operate this type of business, but I really have to ask myself about the mindset involved from a business model standpoint. I mean, I really don’t see a huge demand here from what would have to be their targeted clientele.
