As a life-long Catholic, and a Rush Limbaugh misogynist, I have no problem with anybody who can meet the physical requirement standards taking the job. As a bonus, chicks will certainly look better in those outfits.
“As a bonus, chicks will certainly look better in those outfits.”

“The colours which make the uniform so attractive are the traditional Medici blue, red and yellow, set off nicely by the white of the collar and gloves. The blue and yellow bands give a sense of lightness as they move over the red doublet and breeches. The Guard’s every-day uniform is completely blue. With the passing centuries there have been a few minor changes, but on the whole the original dress has been maintained. It is commonly thought that the uniform was designed by Michelangelo, but it would seem rather that he had nothing to do with it. However, Raffaello certainly did influence its development, as he indeed influenced fashion in general in Italy in the Renaissance, through his painting.”
