The Female Monorail Ticket Taker costume I show in her Monorail Pilot Costume(with stretch pants!!) in one of my earliest posts on my TOMORROWLOUNGE BLOG. I also have an alternate version on the female ticket taker with a different model.....the costume appears the same however it may be a winter version. The guy Monorail cast member is displaying the summer version of the costume as there is also a futuristic zipper coat available.<br /><br />These Monorail costumes were designed for the introduction of the "new" MARK III 1969 Monorails.MIKE COZARThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03616421722228113410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-12606534932700359072012-08-03T19:11:20.705-07:002012-08-03T19:11:20.705-07:00Huck, Mike doesn't have to do anything now, yo...Huck, Mike doesn't have to do anything now, you did all the work already!

This way Swoopie could bump an Alice RO so she could take a break and do the same thing 15 minutes later at Toad and not look out of place. Of course, how could she *ever* look out of place with that smile and vicious 'do? Hmmm? Somewhere I also have Swoopie modeling that same costume with an optional sun bonnet for those baking-in-the-Anaheim-summer-sun Dumbo, Casey Jr. days.<br /><br />Now, where's Mike to give us the *real* lowdown on these particular duds?<br /><br /><br />~HuckHuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18209861385477320117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-82613797161428657842012-08-03T15:55:20.989-07:002012-08-03T15:55:20.989-07:00Nanook, the guy's hat looks particularly stran...Nanook, the guy's hat looks particularly strange.
