Meteorologist Lauren Linahan responded to a woman who shamed her for wearing the 'same' dresses on air.
A television meteorologist called “backyard” for wearing “the same dresses” is spotlighting the criticism to help her younger colleagues.
“Since most of my money goes to bills, groceries, and paying off my debts ... I don't have the luxury of frequently buying more dresses ... plus, dry-cleaning on its own costs an arm and a leg,” she wrote. Like most anchors, Linahan has a dress code — jumpers and pants are permissible at some stations, but dresses are an easier, breathable choice for standing under hot studio lights and wearing a microphone and other wiring.
Many women in television, especially those of color, spend small fortunes straightening their hair or wearing wigs to meet invariable or race-based ideals, but Linahan said she’s fortunate that her curly hair isn’t a problem at WTVM.
