The Ibiza Home Meeting denies that the hostesses’ wardrobe was “inappropriate”

They Ibiza Home Fair claims that the intention was to "create a festive atmosphere" and that women were not used as a sexual lure.

The promoter of the construction fair Ibiza Home Meeting, held last weekend at the Ibiza Fairgrounds, denied yesterday through a double note from their lawyers and the CEO of the company, Raúl Ordóñez, that the costumes of the hostesses were “inappropriate”, as denounced by several people on social networks and the PSOE before the IBDona for using women “as a sexual lure”.

According to the lawyers’ note, “the hostesses hired for the Ibiza Home Meeting were dressed with elements typical of construction employees“, they wore such clothing in order to create a festive atmosphere. Ibiza Home Meeting considers that the clothing worn by the hostesses is no worse than that worn by hostesses, waitresses, dancers, etc. in other events, nightclubs, restaurants or premises in general that exist on the island, or even that which can be seen in people walking down the street.

In particular, the hostesses at the Ibiza Home Meeting wore an orange helmet and yellow reflective vest over a black top and shorts, with fishnet stockings and high boots.

Ibiza Home Meeting promotor “Do we live in a dictatorship?”

The CEO of the company, for his part, assures: “The clothes that our hostess team wore can be bought in any clothing store, not in a sex shop “. Those who see this as sexualizing women or treating a human being in a degrading way, I honestly believe that they must have a somewhat disturbed mind, and are far from reality: they only have to take a walk along Vara de Rey or Platja d’en Bossa in summer and see if people are dressed in a very different way.

“Who do they think they are to judge what is appropriate or inappropriate clothing? Do we live in a dictatorship? They can have their point of view and opinion, but still respecting those who think differently,” he insists.

“Let them dress as they please”

Regarding women, he affirms: “We are more than accustomed to them dressing as they want without criticizing them or much less treat them disrespectfully (maybe the sexist and those who treat in a degrading or discriminatory way are those who have posted on social networks that they have left a whorehouse and other comments simarly as shameful as those). Can’t a woman dress as she wants without being judged? Is it that in the vast majority of clubs, restaurants or beaches of the island there are no hostess teams? When they go out in the street in summer they see how people dress or live on another island? We owe life to women and there is nothing more amazing and beautiful”.
