Riding crop costumes go bye bye

That much is very true. Attractiveness is about personal presentation. Any position that requires someone to have a significant amount of interaction with customers is going to be best filled by someone who customers feel comfortable interacting with. Fat, skinny, tall, short, whatever. "Attractive" can be a broad term. So even dispensing with the "skinny=attractive" definition, one-shape-fits-all costuming is going to impact the perception of attractiveness for ALL CMs, regardless of their body shape.

I think the difference is that with movies, they are playing one specific character. One time. Disneyland is a job, not a movie.

What about a play

More like a paid RPG.

I absolutely agree that CM's should look their best. And perhaps several variations of costumes made available for different body types. I don't go to DL for the eye candy, I go for the experience. My experience isn't hindered by an extra 20, 50, 100 or whatever pounds. As long as they are everything a cast member should be, then it's all good for me.

I'm going to be honest- I don't want Disneyland & Hooters to share the same hiring requirements. I mean, no thanks.

If we're going to go the extreme and start issuing any costume that fully flatters the form and does it justice, why not opt for loinskin banana hammocks and coonskin caps over on the Davey Crockett Explorer canoes? Let the fellas flash their hard...er, "work" for all of us to enjoy!

Honestly? NO THANKS. I'm sorry, but the real reason I am ever there is to enjoy Disney and all of its attractions. No matter how hot the fella, I don't want to come eye to crotch with his sweaty thatch while I'm rowing in the midday sun. No matter how much it glistens. Ick. I have a strict no scrote policy at Disneyland. The only thatch should be briar ala' Splash Mountain.

I don't think I have a strict no scrote policy, actually. In fact, I think I might just welcome them. In the right situation. but the title of this Thread isn't "Scrotums: When, where, and how many?"

What the hell was I rambling about again?

Oh! Everybody's beautiful. Just make it so the lines move faster and you'll have one happy clam.

FYI~ The Davy Crockett Explorer Canoe costumes are long sleeved, although you'll NEVER catch a canoe cast member wearing it that way. They always roll the sleeves up. Biceps ahoy! And yes, I'm a hypocrite. Humina!
