I’m not the only one that is transfixed. There is just something about a uniform. Police Officers. Military Men (not to exclude the women, but I don’t swing that way). Pilots. Fire Fighters (my favorite). A uniform is hot. The coordinated pieces of a uniform communicate respect and class. I notice how differently I am treated when in uniform, and how I personally snap into a space of sophistication. It’s as if the act of donning the uniform signals to myself that I am going on stage. I’m no longer the 2o-something confused about life, but instead, I confidently step into the role of rule enforcer, soda server, and smiling stew.
