In Her Shoes - Interesting Observation

[MarcusKspn]

I was watching the movie "In Her Shoes" with my wife the other day. When Cameron Diaz was working as a tech in the assisted living center I was once again amazed at the ability of scrubs to make every figure turn to "blah".

I do not mean this in a sexist way, nor do I mean to put anybody down. It just reminded me of an old story I read by a man describing the myth's and truth's about being married to a nurse. One of them was the Myth of Nurses as Sex Kittens in revealing mini-skirts, white fishnet stockings, and way to small tops. He describes the reality of a nurse-outfit that consist of unisex non-form-fitting scrubs that would cause you to fail to notice if Pamela Anderson was walking by.

Scrubs - The great equalizer of female body shapes.

A hundred years ago. When I did my rotation through surg. The OR nurses were the most beautiful. They were artists .They put on their makeup so expertly , with the rest of their faces covered with a mask .Their eyes were so expresive the doc knew exactly where he stood.

I'll wear makeup to work if a supervisor ever suggested it (seen a thread or two where women were told they needed it) as soon as the men start doing it.

Yes, comfy, somewhat jammie like, and I look lovely. The great equalizer works in a positive way for some of us.
