Sep. 09, 1962 - Girl's skin tight trousers stop work at a factory: Barbara Smith's skin-tight, shocking pink trousers brought a factory to a standstill yesterday. When 23 year old Barbara (vital statistics 36-23-35) walked into a shirt factory in Wakefield, Yorks, the men stopped and stared. Then they complained to the management: those trousers are distracting us so much that we can't get on with work'. Manager George Woodcock took one look at Barbara and told her: You will have to change into a skirt'. Barbara said I like wearing trousers and I intend to go on wearing them - they're very nice. And the distracted men were moved to a different part of the factory. Explained the management Miss Smith's trousers were so distracting that the men could have injured themselves on the machines while staring at her.
