Firm plans resort staffed by blonde women only, pilots & flight attendants to be blond also
Firm plans resort staffed by blondes only

CNN) -- Exotic locales usually tout aquamarine waters and white sandy beaches to lure tourists, but one company is hoping the staff's hair color will be among the draws to its planned vacation paradise.

A Lithuanian firm called Olialia -- pronounced "ooh-la-la" -- has announced that it intends to build a resort in the Maldives that will employ blond women only.

"There are plans to build a high-class blondes resort with hotels, entertainment and spa centers on the island. Other important things -- like an education
called 'Pretty Women' -- will teach female guests to always be perfect and look great," said the company's Giedre Pukiene, according to the Maldives Traveller.

"A specially established airline will be taking the blondes to the island. ... The pilots and stewardesses on the planes will also be blonde only."

Olialia reportedly plans to open the resort in 2015, but the unusual business plan has already received world attention and is prompting lots of questions, outrage and doubts over whether it would ever be built.

2. Hair color is certainly easy to change.
I wonder if that excludes non whites? Heck even Beyonce can go blonde.

4. That is silly comment.
I would not want to fly on a plane with such a limitation.

10. All blondes? Could be trouble...
An airline captain was breaking in a new blonde stewardess. The route they were flying had a layover in another city. Upon their arrival, the captain showed the stewardess the best place for airline personnel to eat, shop and stay overnight.

The next morning, as the pilot was preparing the crew for the day's route, he noticed the new stewardess was missing. He knew which room she was in at the hotel and called her up wondering what happened. She answered the phone, crying, and said she couldn't get out of her room. "You can't get out of your room?" the captain asked, "Why not?"

The stewardess replied: "There are only three doors in here," she sobbed, "one is the bathroom, one is the closet, and one has a sign on it that says 'Do Not Disturb'!"

13. Reminds me of the good old sexist days back in
1966 when I worked at Continental Airlines. Back then the Continental hostesses couldn't be just cute in their mini-skirts and go-go boots like the other airlines, they had to be stunningly beautiful. Since I worked in the same building where the girls were trained, they really managed to find the best looking young women in the country. Fortunately they didn't just limit themselves to blonds. Personally, I can't imagine spending money to go to such a place so I can feel bad about my brunette looks.
