I like Judy Reyes on Scrubs. Some of that is because everything Donald Faison touches is gold, and he touches her a lot on that show, but she's great in her part and I feel like that would be a really fun set to go to work on each day. Especially after I found out that the crotchety old doctor once played a priest on 90210 -- he baptised Steve Sanders' baby -- and so I would of course get into long and important conversations with him about whether Jennie Garth had any subtle work done on her face in those late seasons. [SOMETHING looks different. It's the nose, I think, but it's not so different that I can definitively tell.]
Anyway. Judy Reyes. Like her. But given the choice between her costume scrubs and this, I'd choose the former:
It's very ... I feel like this outfit was made by someone who was pitching a Jennifer Lopez movie about a woman who works as a mechanic while she's studying to be a pilot, and late at night at the auto shop she fantasizes about being a stylish and adored air hero, twirling around in her cape and boots and jumpsuit while singing a song about flying the friendly skies (which she's always wanted to do ever since her mother, also a flight student, was tragically killed during her night job as an air traffic controller when she paused to scratch her nose with the orange stick and a pilot interpreted this wrongly and ran her over). Of course, a fiendishly hot client catches her little musical-fashion act -- Leafquin Phoenix, maybe, whose manager will have decided he needs to do some lighter work for fear of crushing himself to death under the weight of his own method brooding -- and is captivated by her fashionable grease-monkey moxie. But tragically, her flight school money runs out, so one night, on a dream date at the Go-Kart track, Leafquin gingerly suggests that J.Lo put on a fashion show at the air strip to raise money for her tuition. And she does, with her jumpsuit-chic flight suits and mechanic's rags -- made by Kara Saun from Project Runway season 1, of course -- and Leafquin sweeps her into his arms and then we cut to three years in the future when J.Lo is flying really large planes and all her crew are wearing formal shorts with boots and ponchos.
Except, of course, J.Lo backs out of Flight of Fancy because her husband has decided it's not important enough, and Leafquin quits the film because he had fallen hopelessly in love with her while imagining their scenes together and needs to go work on something more sinister to exorcise the demon, and the project eventually becomes an ABC Family Channel movie starring Judy Reyes and one of the Stults brothers from 7th Heaven.
That is this outfit.
