Actually, the statement “or anywhere” may not entirely correct.
There’s always the ladies room at Little A-Le-Inn for those described
above. :)

During this DLV, I was aware of only three restroom incidents. Two of
them, which occurred in hotels, and actually caused “fallout” and
hassles upon the rest of us. No, the third one was not at Little
A-Le-Inn. :)
>The only thing that surprises me is that it doesn't happen more often!
During the entire DLV week, there were only four individuals that I
observed that were inappropriately dressed. Although very few in
number, they had a very big negative impact by embarrassing a large
number of our group at mainstream activities. You could just see the
heads of the “civilians” turn as they said “Did you see that GUY?” ---
and then the rolling laughter --- and that was from the gg’s.

I agree. The vast majority of the DLV group is very well behaved, acts
with class, and dresses very appropriately.

Everyone does make mistakes. I know a lot of GG's that make horrible
choices in their wardrobe and comportment. However, they still “pass”
very well. Honestly, I have absolutely no problem with anyone who is
trying hard to blend by being discrete, dresses appropriately to the
activity, and properly behaves. I will support that person in whatever
way I can. I have very little patience nor empathy for those
individuals who are so self centered and selfish in trying to get
attention, that they disregard the guidelines and embarrass us all. I
totally agree with you that the group needs to confront the girls who
continually flaunt the “in your face” attitude.
What are your ideas of enforcing these guidelines?
I think we should tell these few girls that the next scheduled activity
is a surprise party, in their honor, and planned that evening in Rachel,
Nevada. Once they get out of the ladies room in their hotel lobby, they
can go outside, jump in a taxi and just say “take me to Rachel, Nevada”
it’s not that far to go and won’t cost that much. Or, if she has a
car, tell her that the activity is planned in the ladies room of
Building 103 in Area 51, and they have our permission to “camp out’ in
the Ladies room as long as they want. Just ignore the signs on the road
and drive on in. If she gets confronted by the “Camo Dudes”, she can
make a scene and demand that she has a right to use the ladies room, and
then use her typical “in your face” attitude that she displays in many
of the Las Vegas hotels. :)
End Of Problem!! :)
Huggs,
Aiko
