Dress code for Christians
Bob Jones University, the fundamentalist Christian college that until recently banned interracial dating, has the most complicated dress code ever. Some of the restricted clothes and styles reveal a lot more than just the school’s fashion sense.
"For Men: Hair must be cut in a traditional, conservative style -- not shaved, spiked, tangled, or shelved. It may not be colored or highlighted. Necklaces, earrings, and bracelets are not permitted.
For Women: Combat boots, hiking boots, or shoes that give this appearance are not permitted. Hairstyles should be neat, orderly, and feminine. Avoid cutting-edge fads and cuts so short that they take on a masculine look. Tops must be long enough that the midriff is never exposed; sleeves are required; hemlines and slits or other openings should never come higher than the bottom of the knee; all dresses, skirts, pants, and shirts must be loose-fitting, having a minimum of three inches of ease at bust and hips."
DON'T LOOK like a dyke, girls. But don't remind the Christian boys that the good Lord gave you tits and ass, either.

I had the misfortune of gracing the campus of Bob Jones University as a student in a fundamentalist christian school in New Jersey. BJU was the site of a nationwide Christian forensics and academic competition.
If you think the dress code is silly, you should see the list of work that is considered taboo to perform.
