Hooters Girl Loses Her Wings

09/07/2007

Since my column appears in Hooters Magazine (shameless plug: swimsuit issue on sale now at newsstands everywhere), a lot of people sent me a link to the CNN story about a Hooters Girl (yes, they require we capitalize the G when speaking of their Girls), getting thrown off a Southwest Airlines flight.

It seems her outfit was so "revealing" the other passengers couldn't imagine being trapped on a plane, 30,000 feet in the air, forced to look at her exposed cleavage and upper thighs. Never mind the surly flight attendants, delays, screaming kids and overcrowded conditions, Southwest Airline passengers shall not be subjected to such inhumane treatment as the possibility of seeing exposed female skin.

Before you rain down a storm of comments bashing me for being outraged at what seems like a case of young girl dressed obscenely on a plane full of families, or for me defending an employee of a company that pays me to write a column for them, watch the video. It doesn't seem to me, or the people CNN interviewed on camera, that she was dressed all that provocatively. It may be the "after" picture they are showing - once she adjusted herself and was let back on-board after listening to a lecture on how to dress - but I have seen much, much worse in my travels.

And most importantly, look at the archival footage of Southwest flight attendants. Nice uniforms.

Did Southwest go too far? Let me hear what you think.

You would think they would spend more time on trying to find bombs in shoes. At least they could tell she wasn't hiding anything! I hope she DOES sue them!

I say sue their asses for al their worth its ridiculous that they make her cover up and dont shut up the crying babys and give the guy next to you with major B. O. some deodorant.

Curt, you have a good point about the body odor. It would seem everytime I get on a plane, somebody smells. I hate that. It's disgusting and actually makes me mad. I don't so much care about crying babies�it's not their fault and their parents are probably mortified and trying their best to calm them, I know, I have children (been there done that), but the B.O. part really gets to me and I wonder why those people aren't asked to deplane? So what if some girl with a cute shape gets on a plane in her little white mini�and her boobs are on the larger side of the scale? I really don't get it, I saw no cleavage, she was wearing panties (unlike so many girls these days), she looked like a normal girl dressed normally to me, and if anything, I'll bet she even made sure to put on deoderant. Yeah, I can see this being a serious problem. Not. I recently flew to Vegas on Southwest, and let me tell you, the scantily clad women I saw on that plane wore much less clothing than this girl had on, showed way more cleavage, and were loud and rowdy the whole flight (to the point of pissing off a few older passengers aboard). They did not get booted off the plane or even asked to quiet down for that matter. I really think this is silly.

it's only because some other passenger bitched that particular day about that particular girl. the airline tried to make that family happy. the more important question to ask is "does this belong on the nightly news?"

Considering that I've taken several flights to Vegas on Southwest with many women dressed in the same clothing, I think they overreacted in a huge way! Why do you think I take the flight?

I see that Angie has had the same experiences.

This girl needs no apology from Southwest Airlines. She is old enough to know how to dress accordingly. You dont go dressed like that to a Doctor's Appointment. SURE!!!! Southwest has all the right to get her off the plane for such thing. Kyla grow up!!! All you want is attention.

Another fine example of individual freedoms being laid to rest due to OPINIONS of the ultra conservative. Why could not the person or persons whom complained be asked to take a later flight. The next time I am on a flight with a person who is wearing attire I am uncomfortable with, perhaps I too can be accommodated by having insidious request fulfilled, Just hope there are no nuns, I find the habits intimidating.
