I have a pair of cat-eye glasses. I have long, shiny hair i usually wear up in a twist. I might even have bedroom eyes on occasion, mostly while alone in my bedroom. I don't think that putting on my institution-white lab gear, with pocket protector (oh, there will be pocket protectors), is going to make me swish my hair out of its coil, slide my glasses down my nose and say, "Hey, Participant, uh, Number Seven. You're looking so fine—you make me want to eschew protocol and take you right here!"
Seriously. Who are they marketing this toward?
I can say with absolute certainty that no one, NO ONE, looks like that in scrubs. Have I mentioned how much I hate that the middle aged women at work (who I can assume only use the job as a time filler) wear scrubs to look as though they are Serious Medical Professionals?
ReplyDeleteI can also say that, as someone who has to wear a big, shapeless, unflatteringly blue lab coat every day that well...shit...ain't nothin sexy about it at all so stop fuckin' around lab coat sellers! You ain't foolin no one!
See, I took this as a challenge. I'm going to get myself a boxy unflattering lab coat and alter it within an inch of its purpose. Darts, pin tucks, and absolutely a corset-style waist because what says Important Discovery more efficiently than cleavage?
