I’m a bodybuilding female carpenter – I feel stylish in my work gear with all my tools but people criticize me
A FEMALE carpenter has revealed how she manages to look chic and stylish wearing her work gear and tools.
That’s why Shadow Verdoni — a carpenter from Edmonton, Alberta — has found success on TikTok sharing her outfits and a glimpse of her life on the job.
“Breaking the stigma of ‘girls don’t do construction work,'” Verdoni wrote over one of her videos.
“I loveeeee when females work in a male-dominated industry,” one commenter said. “It fuels my fire.”
In another clip, Verdoni shows off her tool belt and her work outfit — a little black tank top, some elastic yoga pants, and a hefty pair of steel-toed boots.
One commenter thought her outfit amounted to a distraction on the job site.
“You’re at work to work not to be eye candy,” the TikTok user said. “There’s a dress code for a reason.”
Someone else said her clothes were too clean for a construction worker, insinuating that she may be a fake or not doing her fair share of the work.
But many other commenters said they would be happy to have Verdoni on their team.
“Need an apprentice?” one asked.
“Men out here suddenly trashing their houses,” another said.
Verdoni also uploaded a TikTok featuring footage of her installing flooring. She said her team can finish the floors in as many as three houses in just a single day.
“Finishing carpentry at its finest,” she wrote over the clip.
“I’d probably end up shooting nails into my foot because I keep getting distracted,” one commenter said.
