Business Insider â Debrahlee Lorenzana is filing a lawsuit against Citibank because they fired her, she says, for the strangest reason: sheâs too hot. Sheâs 5?5â, 125 pounds and well, youâve seen her photo. âWhere Iâm from,â she told the Village Voice, âwomen dress upâlike put on makeup and do their nailsâto go to the supermarket⌠I was raised very Latin. Weâre feminine. A woman in Puerto Rico takes care of herself.â Her bosses told her that âas a result of the shape of her figure, such clothes were purportedly âtoo distractingâ for her male colleagues and supervisors to bear,â she says. [Her two male] managers gave her a list of clothing items she would not be allowed to wear: turtlenecks, pencil skirts, and fitted suits. And three-inch heels. From the Village Voice: âAs a result of her tall stature, coupled with her curvaceous figure,â her suit says, Lorenzana was told âshe should not wear classic high-heeled business shoes, as this purportedly drew attention to her body in a manner that was upsetting to her easily distracted male managers.âAs soon as Debrahlee started working at the Citibank branch in the Chrysler Building, she says, everyone there focused on her appearance. Sheâs working together a lawsuit to charge the bank for creating a sexually discriminatory environment with a lawyer, Jack Tuckner, who agrees that sheâs smoking hot, but thinks Debarahâs case should stand up well with a jury. âItâs like saying that we canât think anymore âcause our penises are standing upâand we cannot think about you except in a sexual mannerâand we canât look at you without wanting to have sexual intercourse with you. And itâs up to you, gorgeous woman, to lessen your appeal so that we can focus!â

El Salvador Floods,Mudslides Kill 124, 60 Missing: Mud and boulders loosened by heavy rains swept down a volcano and partly buried a small town Sunday, swallowing up homes as flooding and landslides across El Salvador killed at least 124 people, authorities said.
El Salvador Floods,Mudslides Kill 124, 60 Missing:Mud and boulders loosened by heavy rains swept down a volcano and partly buried a small town Sunday, swallowing up homes as flooding and landslides across El Salvador killed at least 124 people, authorities said.
Hundreds of soldiers, police and residents dug through rock and debris in Verapaz looking for another 60 people missing from the mudslide, which struck before dawn Sunday while residents were still in their beds.
Matias Mendoza, 26, was at home with his wife Claudia and their year-old son, Franklin, when the earth began moving.
“It was about two in the morning when the rain started coming down harder, and the earth started shaking,” Mendoza recalled. “I warned my wife and grabbed my son, and all of a sudden we heard a sound. The next thing I knew I was lying among parts of the walls of my house.”
“A few minutes later, I found my wife and my son in the middle of the rubble, and, thank God, we’re alive,” said Mendoza, who suffered cuts on his check that emergency workers stitched up.
Almost 7,000 people saw their homes damaged by landslides or cut off by floodwaters following three days of downpours from a low-pressure system indirectly related to Hurricane Ida, which brushed Mexico’s Cancun resort on Sunday before steaming into the Gulf of Mexico.
President Mauricio Funes declared a national emergency and said he would work with the United Nations to evaluate the extent of the damage.
“The images that we have seen today are of a devastated country,” Funes said. He called the damages incalculable.
El Salvador’s Civil Protection agency raised the death toll to 124 late Sunday, with another 60 people missing. It didn’t break down the deaths by location, but under the previous toll of 94, officials had listed 61 deaths in San Salvador, 23 in San Vicente province, including 10 in the town of Verapaz, and the remaining fatalities spread across the country. Red Cross spokesman Carlos Lopez Mendoza said that 60 people were missing in Verapaz.
Some of the worst damage was in Verapaz, where mudslides covered cars and boulders two yards (meters) wide blocked streets.
The rain loosened a flow of mud and rocks that descended from the nearby Chichontepec volcano and buried homes and streets in Verapaz, a town of about 3,000 located 30 miles (50 kms) east of San Salvador, the capital.more info yahoo news

Fancast interviewed Adrienne, MTVâs newest on-air personality:
Whatâs the best and worst part of being newly single in NYC?
The best â I get to spend a lot of times with friends. Itâs very Sex and the City. And the worst part â when itâs cold and rainy, thereâs no one to snuggle up with. Except my girlfriends pile in bed with me and we snuggle.
The reasons behind their split: A family insider has told Life & Style that their relationship has gotten too hard.
They are just so young.
She is very career-oriented, and heâs still in school,â the insider revealed the reason for the split. But it wasnât a bitter breakup. The insider added, âThey are still friends, but itâs definitely over.
Robâs definitely too young to be steady, heâs only 21! The Cheetah girls member, Adrienne on the other hand is 25. Well, I thought they made a lovely couple. He was soooo much in love. Are they so cute when they are 21 though? Darn, what is he going to do with that giant tattoo of her name inked right below the left side of his chest? Uh Oh
