Did Austin Powers design Air New Zealand’s new uniform???

I feel for my fellow sisters over at Air NZ. I guess you could look at it this way – they would feel comfy to wear, around the…. house!

I sure as fuck would not like to wear this to work and by the sounds coming from across the Tasman sea nor do they!

In case you were wondering the designer responsible is New Zealand’s Trelise Cooper.

According to airline spokesman Ed Simms “We have also been working closely with Trelise to ensure the uniform colour palette works in harmony with our soon to be unveiled new aircraft interior.”

Holy shite.. Pass me a sick bag. At lease the vomit will hopefully blend in with the pattern on the uniform and by the sounds of it the interior as well!

Being Taurean I love my food!  When I saw this on Mystic Medusa‘s website I thought this would make a fantastic dessert for all you pax out there!  Who or rather, what airline would serve these? As it costs a cool $106,794 ,who would serve them? Maybe it will space food for Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic? Maybe one day Saggo Pilot may give me one … HA!

 Just back from an overnight….

Depending on the port the crew generally meet for dinner, so as always I have something packed just in case, cos sometimes you never know what city/town you will end up in!

So I get to my room, unpack and get dollied (as trolly dollies do)  up, ready to meet crew for dinner. BUT what do you know?

I packed odd shoes!

Need I say anymore….

 All of your pens have different hotel names on them

You NEVER unpack

 You can recognize pilots by the back of their heads-but not their faces

 You can tell from 20 meters away if a piece of luggage will fit in the overhead bin

 You care about the local news in a city three states away

You know at least 25 uses for air sickness bags-none of which pertain to vomit

You understand and actually use the 24-hour clock

You always point with two fingers

You know what’s on the cover of the current issues of Madison, OK! and Cosmo magazines

You stop and inspect every fire extinguisher you pass, just to make sure the “gauge is in the green”

Your thighs are covered in bruises from armrests and elbows

You refer to cities by their airport codes

Ok, so this topic was going to have to come up sooner or later…..

SINGAPORE AIRLINES A380

A lot of pax do try to gain membership into ye olde club. However the powers that be have made it a lot harder for us mere mortals, as it’s an arrest able offence under federal law. As for cabin & tech crew, pft! ~ forget it! One only has to remember the Ralph Fiennes incident with that Qantas ‘hostie’.

Is a hankering for hanky panky in a stinky loo at 40,000 feet to gain a world exclusive membership worth the bother?

Before you ask ~ no I’m not in the mile high club, lol. Maybe MPL and I should consider it after seeing what Singapore Airlines has to offer?? Oh wonder if they would let us book it through staff travel…

Would this make you watch and listen??

Air New Zealand has produced a new safety demonstration for their domestic 737 services which features the flight attendants naked!

Wouldn’t catch me doing that.

Thoughts??

 UNITED BREAKS GUITARS

According to the Chigaco Tribune Canadian musician Dave Carroll was travelling with United Airlines when they smashed his guitar and the airline refused to pay for repairs.

His video, above, was posted on Utube this Monday and has now made the airline now take notice and they are now considering compensating him…

Better late than never I guess. Pity I’m a crap singer so I guess I will continue to whinge on here instead!

His next song will be an ode to United’s customer service…. cant wait for that one!

Mmm… Interesting non?? Well indeed I think so and that’s why when I am on my next SIN (Singapore) overnight I am definitely going to try it! I believe that I am in the group that LOVES LOVES LOVES pedicures but I do find it hard to find a good pedicurist – anyone else have that problem?

So any peeps out there that are into the fish eating feet skin Pedi let me know! Where did you go? What is the best place ~ where ever that may be in the world! Also remember, we are all only a plane flight away AND good things are hard to find.

Please post your best/worst Pedi place in the comments section for all to see
