Making Air Travel More Like Parochial School

 
"I don't think we covered this enough" is my current personal opinion regarding the September Southwest Airlines dress code debacle. It might also have been Kyla Ebbert's skirt talking.

Have you all heard about this? A 23-year-old student, and Hooters waitress (you know it makes the story better) was nearly refused admittance to her San Diego/Tucson flight, by Southwest Airlines personnel, due to her skimpy Travel Ensemble .
 
 
When I saw this photo, my first thought was "23?"
 
But then I focused on the topic at hand; her ensemble.
 
 
 
This is not good fashion sense, nor does it look terribly comfortable for a flight - of any length - however, I was still startled that this woman would have been singled out for a wardrobe infraction.  I mean, she wasn't even wearing Crocs.

Ms. Ebbert recreated the  outfit for the Today Show, and apparently when she sat down to be interviewed, the skirt became more of a denim belt. But Ms. Ebbert was wearing underwear, so I'm still unclear as to what all the fuss was about.

I'm guessing Britney Spears does not fly Southwest.

What I REALLY wish airlines would enforce is a SCENT code.
 
No B.O. No halitosis. No patchouli. 
 
Let's think a little more about what might be truly offensive in a pressurized aircraft cabin.  Shall we?

This outfit is what we'd like to call "pulling focus." We weren't all born beautiful in the face, so you accentuate the parts of you that might earn you an appreciative drunken pawing come closing time when the better options have left.

Sadly, I have yet to find an outfit that shows off my incredible pituitary gland.
