1960's Carhop
 |
|
Like never before, the automobile was an
American passion, rather than a necessity. The Federal
Highway
Act of 1956 had ushered in the era of the American interstate
highway
and (literally) paved the way for mobility from state to state.
Americans were in love
with their cars - they glorfied them, decorated them, and even ate
in
them.
The carhop was a 1950s invention, providing curb
service in drive
in restaurants and burger joints, and by the 1960s
were a common site
in
nearly every US town. Often wearing roller skates
to speed up the
service,
these waitresses often provided entertainment as well as
service,
balancing
food, trays with speed and grace. The drive up window
meant the
end
of these Roller Queens, providing the restaraunt owner the
opportunity
to
lower his operating costs. #C195 White blouse has button up front and contrasting cuffed short sleeves and turndown collar. Skirt is full with a netted underskirt. Zippered closure.
