Flying High

On my way home from Auckland New Zealand, I was absolutely mesmerized by the Singapore Flight Crew that was passing through the airport. The Singapore Girls, as the flight attendants are called, were every bit as enchanting as they are in the Singapore Airlines advertising campaigns, if not more. I couldn't get enough of the beautiful Batik motif, which has tiny paisley-esque shapes incorporated into the design.

The flight crew wears uniforms designed by French couturier Pierre Balmain, and with just a minor collar change in 1974, the uniforms have been the same since 1968. Singapore Airlines was a part of Malaysian Singapore Airlines until 1972, and the newly formed Singapore Airlines kept the Balmain design.

The pictures of the Singapore Girls are from Wallpaper* and really don't do the pattern any justice, and definitely don't show the amazing fit of these uniforms. Seriously, I found the Singapore Girls to be so well fitted into their sarongs (which makes sense since they have a minimum of two fittings with the airline's in-house tailor) that I couldn't look away from the tiny waists, shapely hips and exposed collar bones.

You should see the uniform I have to wear when I am working for Princess, I always have a hard time finding a size 3 blazer to match my size 5 hips. In fact, now that I've thought about it, here is an actual picture of me and Kristin in the white uniform, as compared with the lovely ladies above.

I know, No contest.

Singapore Airlines has freaky hot stewardesses. I get the sense that's what they are best known for.

Flight attendants Ramanan, not stewardesses... ;) And yes, they are freakishley hot. The 10 flight attendants that I saw were so hot, that it has me thinking that Singapore has the curviest asian women I've ever seen!
