The woman pictured below was fired from her job as a waitress due to rules saying all female employees should wear make-up. Is it fair? Probably not, in theory. But you look at the picture below and you judge.

Shenoa Vild hates to wear makeup. Face goop is simply not for her. She happens to think she has a naturally healthy, vibrant complexion. After meeting her, I have to agree.

But Vild, a waitress, says her former boss had an entirely different opinion.

He wanted Vild to wear makeup.

She wouldn’t.

So, she says, she got canned.

Mark Oliver, the new owner, said he couldn’t go into details as to what happened with Vild. Oliver did say she was the only employee who was unable to deal with the transition.

“Shenoa could still be here if she wanted,” said Oliver, who used to be a part owner of George’s at the Cove in La Jolla. “I had no problem with anybody else. If she would have made the same accommodations that the new ownership was asking, she’d still be here.”

“I always thought I looked silly wearing makeup,” Vild, a 27-year-old North Park resident, told me. “And I don’t think I need it.”

Now I’m pretty much the biggest feminist you’ve ever met, as evidenced by how often I wear my Female Body Inspector t-shirts (I wear them and grope you because I care), but I really can’t take her side. She looks like Fred Armisen in a blonde wig. Not only should she have been forced to wear make-up, she should have been held down until they could permanently tattoo the make-up to her face. It’s not a restaurant’s fault that they want to be known as a place with hot chicks, just like it’s not my fault for accidentally making them spill a smoothie on my lap so that they have to delicately dab my crotch off while I moan in ecstasy. We all make sacrifices when we’re in a restaurant, toots.
