You are Now Free to Pose for Playboy
[Guest post by DRJ]
Here’s another “Do you remember?” story. Do you remember Kyla Ebbert, the cute passenger who had a run-in with a Southwest Airlines’ employee concerning proper airline attire?
Southwest Airlines subsequently issued a tongue-in-cheek apology to Kyla: “We searched for the naked truth, gotten down to the bare facts and she kind of caught us with our pants down …” Well, maybe Southwest Airlines was onto something because Kyla has gone on to greater fame and fortune by posing nude for Playboy:
“The 23-year-old college student who was forced to alter her skimpy outfit before flying on Southwest Airlines is wearing even less on Playboy’s Web site. Kyla Ebbert appears in a series of pictures — some in lingerie, some nude — under the heading, “Legs in the Air.”
“They’re very tastefully done,” Ebbert said Thursday in an interview with The Associated Press. “I don’t see anything wrong with the female body.”
Ebbert said she was paid “less than six figures,” but wouldn’t give the specific amount.
***
Ebbert worked at a Hooters in San Diego but said she is now looking for a more respectable waitressing job. She wants to become an attorney, and she doesn’t think posing nude should get in the way of her professional aspirations.”

Why is it that I never get stuck to people that look like her when I travel? I am always stuck between people that would make Rosie and Michel Moore look skinny, or the kinds that make the hippies with braided armpit hair smell good.
JD (33beff) — 11/16/2007 @ 8:59 amThat does it! I’m going retro seventies next time I fly. Wide collar unbuttoned to the navel and a gold chain. If she can get in playboy, there is no reason a 48 year old can’t get in playgirl!!
Voice of Reason (10af7e) — 11/16/2007 @ 9:58 amNext comes her career in porn, and in three years when she’s used up, hooking on street corners.
Scott Jacobs (425810) — 11/16/2007 @ 10:21 amI have to admit to enjoying pictorials in Playboy. Tasteful isn’t an adjective that I remember using. She poses nude and NOW wants a more respectable waitressing job? Somebody turn on her irony meter
Bill M (ee2ae1) — 11/16/2007 @ 10:27 amOK, is there any way to blame Bush for this?
Old Coot (06fab9) — 11/16/2007 @ 10:46 amI have a spanking new scanner/printer/copier. I’m tempted to buy the magazine, scan the photos and post them. I’m resisting the temptation.
(But I do have a 19th century photo of a group of Texas Rangers including a very young Frank Hamer which I could scan and email to you DRJ if I knew your email.)
nk (09a321) — 11/16/2007 @ 11:08 amI have so mixed feelings on this.
One, I don’t see anything wrong with the female body. Two, I was having a conversation with a female friend of mine yesterday who told me her and her husband watch porn. I said I certainly have too, but feel pornography is wrong and don’t wish to see any more because I’m contributing to some horrible lives on behalf of the performers plus degrading myself and altering my own perceptions in unhealthy or at least unhelpful ways.
I think posing nude and pornography are different even though some men — and women — will fantasize at her pictures, as some did with her clothed I’m sure. If it stops here and she makes some much-needed money and it raises her sexual self-esteem to be desired enough to receive the offer, I say good for her. Scott Jacobs points out, however, that it’s unlikely to stop here. And he could easily be right.
Hence my mixed feelings. What do you think?

Someone beat you to it. No pun intended. http://www.nudebabes.ws/galleries/kyla_ebbert/playboy.php
Yeah, she’s cute. But not exceptional. Just as I thought when I saw her with her clothes on.
Christoph (92b8f7) — 11/16/2007 @ 11:46 amShe makes bank for being asked to cover up and still fly.
Me, my wife & son were kicked off a flight over a car seat, because the stewardess was rude and didn’t want a child in her section on a overnight flight to Disneyworld. And my wife has breast cancer.
I don’t want bank, I just want the stewardess fired, or at the very least an apology.
Tom K (d3e3bf) — 11/16/2007 @ 11:47 amWhat proof do you have that it happened the way you said, Tom K?
Christoph (92b8f7) — 11/16/2007 @ 12:18 pmTom, why would they let you put a carseat on an airplane seat? That sounds dangerous.
Next time you fly and have some idiosynchratic need like that, call in advance. Wanting someone fired means you are extremely angry. You’re asking to ruin someone’s life in the short-term. Why didn’t you check-in the seat? Sounds like you are a bit loony. And I’m sorry your wife has cancer, but should people be able to break rules because their loved ones have cancer? Wouldn’t that be a huge mess?
As far as this playmate goes: only in America. She got hers, and everyone is richer. Even southwest is richer for this. So much publicity, and not really that bad.
Dustin (9e390b) — 11/16/2007 @ 12:20 pmTom, the appropriate compromise is that you get nude pics of the
Dana (3e4784) — 11/16/2007 @ 12:24 pmstewardessflight attendant.Hear, hear, to what Dustin said, minus the bit about being loony. But certainly vindictive and not adequately explaining why an airline stewardess should be fired for enforcing her company’s rule about no car seats.
And Dana, har har, but to say the least, he doesn’t deserve them.
Christoph (92b8f7) — 11/16/2007 @ 12:36 pm…yet another blonde living up to expectations. Sheesh.
Dana (3cd2e0) — 11/16/2007 @ 8:03 pmThreesheets #8,
I’m crushed. The breasts are fake and the rest might as well belong to a boy. Oh well, it’s better to have admired silicone than to never have admired at all.
nk (09a321) — 11/16/2007 @ 8:18 pmCute?
Fake. She has fake blonde hair, fake…chest, and faked being respectable…and did it all poorly. (Yes, flashing the nation when you go on TV to say there’s nothing wrong with how you dress is both fake and bad.)
*shrug*
Folks like that are why I dress like a guy unless there’s a really good reason to girl it up. The extra trouble is just not worth it.
Don’t even start me on her mother. No wonder the gal can’t dress properly.
Foxfier (97deae) — 11/16/2007 @ 8:45 pmThe girl couldn’t even appear on morning shows and sit down without having networks have to blur her crotch area in the process. Imagine what it must have been in a sloped back seating on a plane instead of a level chair on a tv set.
Also there is no information as to if she was or was not wearing undergarments on the flight. If this were the issue, the airline may have withheld that tidbit to not appear to be doing a personal attack.
I have flown more than once with observing situations where gals were not shy in letting you know they were going commando.
daytrader (ea6549) — 11/16/2007 @ 11:10 pmIt’s beautiful, isn’t it?
Christoph (92b8f7) — 11/16/2007 @ 11:56 pmHUGH HEFNER is a scoundrel a smut peddler and a seller of the flesh he should be sent to the spice mines of kessel
krazy kagu (3e8790) — 11/17/2007 @ 8:09 amDid you get my email, DRJ?
nk (09a321) — 11/17/2007 @ 12:43 pmNot sure you guys will read this as I am just coming back now.
1. Christop – “What proof do you have that it happened the way you said, Tom K?” What proof do you want I can give the full details of what happend, but it is long and these are only coments. You can ask any passengers, the other 2 nice flight attendants, or Mauricio would had to escort me and then my wife and child off the plane. who said to me “Sometimes its just a power trip with these guys, I’m sorry” I would be willing to go under oath to tell my story and I wish there was a video of any detail.
2. Dustin “Tom, why would they let you put a carseat on an airplane seat? That sounds dangerous.
Next time you fly and have some idiosynchratic need like that, call in advance. Wanting someone fired means you are extremely angry. You’re asking to ruin someone’s life in the short-term. Why didn’t you check-in the seat? Sounds like you are a bit loony. And I’m sorry your wife has cancer, but should people be able to break rules because their loved ones have cancer? Wouldn’t that be a huge mess?”
You obviously don’t have children, go to any website they RECOMMEND you bring a car seat. You have been on a plane correct you know how effective thsoe belts are right? When we flew on another plane after being taken off, we had him just in the seat he’s 3, the belt barely held him and as we came in for a landing he would have been tossed about if we werent holding him. A car Seat is recommended by the airlines and the FAA, just like in a car its for the child saftey. So no I’m not looney and it isnt an idosynchratic thing. Hmm why would I want her fired lets see, we followed their recommendation, they gave us a rule of 6 in clearence needed which doesnt exist and when you ask their CS they dont say. Even if this was a rule no one measured and in the end we learned later my sons shoes are 9 in so there was more the 6 inch clearance. So we broke no rules, she was extremely rude, yeah i want her fired and i want her to suffer. My wife was heartbroken and in hysterics being taken off the plane and my son was askign whats going on, yeah I suffered already now it should be her turn. We weren’t breaking rules and i wouldnt expect to and we didnt say anything about the cancer for special treatment. Get why I’m angry now.
3. Dana if you saw this stewadess you would know that would have just added insult to injury
