Budapest Mayor gets dictatorial on fashion

Or should I say chauvinistic?:
The mayor of one Budapest district wants female City Hall staff to wear miniskirts only if they have 'completely perfect legs' and the skirts are no shorter than 2-3 centimeters (about 1 inch) above the knee.

Gabor Mitynan, a conservative who runs the wealthy 12th district, also wants male employees to wear blazers in summer, and told the Website (www.index.hu) the dress code was needed because he had seen staff dressed like beggars or vacationers.

Mitynan also dislikes crop tops -- popular in Budapest -- saying 'few women have well-trained bellies worth showing to people' and wants the city to legislate on stocking thickness, proposing 5-10 denier for summer, 15 for spring and autumn and 20 for winter.
Furthermore, female City Hall staff may go topless if they have completely perfect...

Nevermind.
