This idea of colour coded hats is quite clever. This way, everyone knows what your role is in the theatre where everyone is wearing the same pajamas and it\u2019s hard to know who\u2019s who. I\u2019ve been wearing a white one, as a visitor. It\u2019s not particularly flattering, as it makes me look quite washed out, but it does make me look younger (as per charming Canadian registrar).<\/p>\n
Not so smart are the scrubs themselves, which are also colour coded, with different coloured bands around the neck line and waistband. (Not to mention the 70\u2019s style pant suit design – think Elvis in the fried peanut butter sandwich years). That means everyone knows what size scrubs you are (or think you should be) wearing. Sometimes the colour coding isn\u2019t necessary. I can tell by the way that Mr Price\u2019s cuffs drag along the floor that he\u2019s not really tall enough for his trousers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
