In celebration of an exceptional launch of new camisoles, a Taiwanese lingerie company decided to make November 21st "Camisole Day". All 500 women working at corporate headquarters were encouraged to wear "only camisoles and knickers - much to the excitement of their male colleagues."
Surprisingly, over 450 of the women participated. Even more surprising - instead of being degraded or insulted by the event, most seemed rather excited. Link [Ananova]

Oh, and make me a sandwich while you're at it.
You know you love it.

They were thinking long-term . . . good play.
It's in Taiwan - you expect equal treatment?
These people work around lingerie all day. They're probably less uptight and more desensitized to the idea of wearing lingerie. Plus, it sounds like they had fun. Heaven forbid people should have fun.
I agree, it is a workplace, but so are swimming pools, strip clubs, Hooters, and plenty of other places where women don't wear business suits.
Sure it's sexist, but it's just as sexist to blame the men for this. Maybe if enough women had said "no", they would have cancelled it.
Women's bodies are worthy of admiration. So are men's. It's telling that only women are routinely expected/asked to show off their curves.
