Speaking of Doormen

So Big Frank is still thinking of Doormen, and because he's on the road and whatnot he googled: "I hate being a doorman", because Big Frank really would love to be a Doorman, and so he thought he'd better get the OTHER side of the story. You know - there's more to being a Doorman than wearing the uniform, and not every doorman works in front of some swanky hotel. Most nightclubs have doormen and that's a whole different world. So here's a few things that Big Frank found.

There's this from New York Shopping, an interview with the doorman at the Crobar in NY. That's him on the left, and this is what he had to say in the interview about his outfit:

"I got the scarf at an Indian store on 23rd Street, and the blue blazer is from a thrift store on Eighth Avenue. It was $10, and it took me $60 to make it wearable. I went through a friend’s closet and took all the ties he doesn’t wear. He used to be a corporate guy, and now he goes to work in jeans."

And, what about those people who he won't let in? Here are some reasons - clubbers take note:

"Every doorman has a different list. One guy I work with hates guys in Timberlands—I could care less. For me, I hate athleticwear—like Derek Jeter’s shirt. You’re going to a nightclub, not to a gym. I hate that hairdo that all those Gotti boys are putting out there. Whatever that’s called—the scarecrow, the chicken head. And this thing now of women all looking like tramps, I don’t get that. I hate leg warmers, too."
