I thought this story from New York magazine was pretty funny: the Hearst Tower is the building in midtown Manhattan where many of the most popular magazines are headquartered (Seventeen, Cosmo, Marie Claire, Esquire, CG!, O, to name a few) and the exterior is made almost completely of glass.

Beth, who interned with Seventeen this year, can probably attest to the fact that it is one of the COOLEST buildings to walk in; they have a waterfall inside where the escalators zoom up and down really fast and are really steep. The problem? Apparently some magazine staffers who are really into their fashion are finding that the onlookers below can get a quite a glimpse if a staffer is sporting this season’s wide, high-waisted skirts, or a mini.

Some editors were concerned enough that they warned members of their staff prone to wearing trendy mini-minidresses or ballooning short skirts to take care to keep their legs closed. “It’s the visitors that see the ‘view,’” said one editor. “A lot of tourists walk in from the streets to see the building.”

However, one staffer said that it’s NBD, given the “preferences” of most male magazine staffers: “I’m not sure it’s that much of a problem considering the fact that I can probably count the number of straight men who work in the building on one hand.”
