The Best Way to Stay Ahead in the Hotel Business: Rainbow Cummerbunds

Share This Post

I’m pretty sure the rainbow uniform niche is open again if anyone wants to jump in.

Most of these outfits fit right into the “painfully garish” color style you expect from the 70’s, and you can generally tell which one’s the chef, which one’s in housekeeping, etc. But the ringmaster guy in the red top hat and cape – what exactly is his job at the hotel? Maybe having an organ grinder/magician/young Rip Taylor impersonator was the key to “a new warm atmosphere” back then. Or maybe he was on his way to audition for “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” and got lost?
