A 29-year-woman was faced with a dilemma shortly after she took on a job offer. She was told she either had to cover up her pink hair or look for work elsewhere. She accepted the challenge and her amusing way of overcoming the restriction has gone viral.
Emily Benschoter turned to TikTok to share her journey at her new workplace, but with the twist that she can never show her pink hair while she’s on duty. She only found out the fact after she had already been interviewed and offered the position, a front-of-house role in the hospitality industry, because there was no prior contact with her employers in-person or over video chat during the hiring process.
Her manager then suggested she wore a wig and that’s when she decided to pick the funniest ones she could find. Her first TikTok video with the first wig went up on July 19, 2023, and it read: “When you have pink hair, but corporate does not approve, so you wear terrible wigs.”
Since then, people have become invested in her wig choices and her clips have been viewed millions of times. “The worse the wig, the better,” she admitted in an interview. “It is a way to open up the conversation with the customers who think it is insane that I have to cover my pink hair.”
In the same interview, Benschoter also took time to explain why she didn’t just simply dye her hair instead. “Dying my hair for a job I work at for 40 hours per week wasn’t an option,” she revealed. “I am a self-expressive person and I feel very confident with pink hair, so I came up with a solution to keep the job and my hair.”
Despite her having fun with the situation, she doesn’t approve of it. “It’s dehumanizing that I can’t be accepted at face value because my hair is a non-traditional color,” she said. “It’s so superficial that my hair color is an obstacle.”
As we’ve seen, job requirements when it comes to our physical appearance can be an issue for some. For a woman known as the “Dragon Girl,” it’s actually been an impossible task to overcome. Amber Luke chose to get over 600 tattoos to change her appearance, but now people refuse to employ her.

Nancy Sinatra has turned 83 – try not to smile when you see her now…
The well-known Frank Sinatra’s daughter, Nancy Sinatra, has never been out of the spotlight. She was exposed to the opulent lifestyle that came along with her father’s fame while growing up in a magnificent New Jersey home. Despite this, the family was concerned about the attention and throngs that collected around their home.
Nancy had to face challenges even though she came from a wealthy background to become a great singer. Due to the poor reception of her early releases, there were even reports that her father’s record label was thinking of removing her. Nancy, though, was unmoved. She embarked on a mission to alter her situation.
Nancy made a triumphant return to the music business by altering her image and undergoing voice training. Her transformation from an unfulfilled artist to a hitmaker is proof of her ability, perseverance, and determination. She is an inspiration to budding artists who are overcoming obstacles in their own lives.
Nancy faced difficulties even though she achieved incredible success in the music industry. After she left college early and discovered that her father’s record business would terminate her, her career seemed uncertain. But everything changed when lyricist Lee Hazlewood offered advice on how to pursue her career.
Singing down an octave, Nancy, with Hazlewood’s assistance, discovered her own voice. Additionally, he helped her update her appearance so that it more closely resembled the trendy “Carnaby Street” image. Nancy’s greatest degree of success was attained with her number-one hits, “Sugar Town,” “How Does That Grab You, Darlin’?” and “These Boots Are Made for Walkin’,” thanks to her renewed concentration. She even made her mark on the big screen, costarring on screen with icons of the motion picture industry like Elvis Presley and Peter Fonda.

Nancy made the decision to step back from the spotlight in the 1970s, even with her many accomplishments, so that she could spend more time with her family. But when she released her third album and posed for Playboy at the age of 54, she stunned everyone.

Nancy loved her father so much that she authored two books on his life. In recognition of her commitment to preserving his memory, she was awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Her distinct fashion sense—particularly her go-go boots—became strongly linked to her character. Those iconic boots, albeit she no longer owns them, left a lasting impression on her career and image.
Nancy has struggled in her personal life in addition to her musical career. She divorced young singing idol Tommy Sands after a few years of marriage. Nancy made the decision to prioritize her daughters’ schooling over her singing career. During this time, she met Hugh Lambert, who would become her second husband. Their marriage was sadly ended in 1985 when Hugh succumbed to illness.
Nancy Sinatra persevered through personal hardships to pursue a demanding career. Nancy’s Boutique was founded in 2020 as an internet-based shop where fans could purchase CDs, exclusive products, and autographed items. She also hosted the weekly radio show “Nancy for Frank” until 2021, during which she shared personal information about her life and her relationship with her late father.
Nancy has a vivid and strong personality that has inspired many, and her contributions to the music industry are absolutely remarkable. As long as she continues to pursue a wide range of activities, she will undoubtedly be recognized as a representative of her generation. Nancy Sinatra led a life marked by unwavering determination, transformation, and unmatched success.
