BlackChampagne -- no longer new; improvement also in question.: Every 23 y/o in San Diego...

Every 23 y/o in San Diego...


Amusing news about a leggy, mini-skirt wearing blonde who nearly got booted from a recent Southwest Airlines flight for having too much of teh hawt!!1!

Ebbert, 23, says she was judged unfairly by the airline and humiliated by the experience. Who wouldn't be?

She had a doctor's appointment that afternoon in Tucson, where temperatures had topped 106 all week. She arrived at Lindbergh Field wearing a white denim miniskirt, high-heel sandals, and a turquoise summer sweater over a tank top over a bra. After the plane filled, and the flight attendants began their safety spiel, Ebbert was asked to step off the plane by a customer service supervisor, identified by the airline only as "Keith." They walked out onto the jet bridge, where Keith told Ebbert her clothing was inappropriate and asked her to change. She explained she was flying to Tucson for only a few hours and had brought no luggage.

"I asked him what part of my outfit was offensive," she said. "The shirt? The skirt? And he said, 'The whole thing.'"

Keith asked her to go home, change and take a later flight. She refused, citing her appointment. The plane was ready to leave, so Keith relented. He had her pull up her tank top a bit, pull down her skirt a bit, and return to her seat.
It's kind of a ridiculous story, and is obviously only getting coverage because it's an excuse to contemplate a tall blonde in a short white skirt and what sort of flesh she may or may not have been revealing on a recent flight from San Diego to Phoenix. I only bring it up because I used to live in San Diego, and while I haven't been there often since 2003, and (thankfully) Shrek vests weren't yet trendy then, I can say that pretty much every 23 y/o woman looked like this. Though often a bit less Ann Coulter-ish, thankfully.

The article gets bonus points for the girl's mom stepping in and boldly opening her pie hole.
"My daughter is young, tall, blond and beautiful," Michele Ebbert told me, "and she is both envied and complimented on her appearance. She dresses provocatively, as do 99 percent of 23-year-old girls who can. But they were out of line."
Mom's (unfortunately) way high on her percent dressing provocatively estimate, but she's got a point. The problem, however, isn't the 99% of the 23 y/o's who can... it's the 99% of 23 y/o's who can't. And yet do so anyway.

I love the "don't hate me because I'm beautiful" response of the mom. They talk about her bra, but I wonder if she was or wasn't wearing down below.

The Gerry Braun cites a colleague who said, "I hope she's not sitting next to my husband." and if someone complained like that to the airline, then they have to react.

Plus she's 5'5", not that tall, but she is a Hooters waitress.

I'm not exactly sure which part humiliated her. It's not like they announced it over the speakers, "will the woman in the hoochie outfit in seat 15a come to the front?" Maybe it's the part where someone didn't say she was beautiful.

Being tall and leggy, I have one skirt that would be that mini, and even then the only time I thought about wearing it was for a night clubbing in vegas, and even then I bought something else to wear. when you sit, it's basically your bare rear to the seat, thus the undergarment question above. Maybe instead of a blanket, they really wanted her to put a toilet seat cover on the chair.

Frankly, it's the risk of being risque. You're going to get the Hollas and the Haters.

On the Southwest Airline's side, their question is are they consistent with this kind of reprimand. i mean, are folks on the Las Vegas flights told to put on more clothes. Perhaps Keith wasn't from San Diego, maybe he flew in from the Midwest or other part of the country where women are reprimanded for wearing clothes like that.
