*dimsumdolly* - the different morsels of the life of a foodie

Singapore Boy

As I read monomania's post on the inflight service on board an SAF aircraft (she was served food by men in uniform! Real combat army uniform!) which brought her to Banda Aceh for a story she had to do, an idea sprang into my mind.

Someone should start an airline which will only have cute hunky men for air stewards. Hell, Singapore Airlines should just start another subsidiary. I can't think of a good name for the airline at the moment, but the crew will be the male counterpart of the now world-renowned Singapore Girl. We'll have our Singapore Boy.

And if I were the Marketing Head of this new airline which I'm proposing, I would pitch this airline to the gay men (the pink dollar's a lucrative market), rich bored tai-tais with philandering husbands and the single women (a growing market).

Recruitment of Singapore Boys would be just as stringent as it is for the Singapore Girl. Potential candidates will be made to parade in skimpy trunks, made to jump out of a fake plane and swim a few laps across the pool, show their hands for inspection to make sure there are no ugly calluses, make a speech about themselves in front of a whole room of people (eloquence is always good, but without which a cute face would suffice too) etc. The panel of judges will of course be made up of me, a few girlfriends and some of our very good gay friends.

Oh, this idea is sounding fun already! The Singapore Airlines management might be too straight-laced to buy this idea. I could pitch it to Richard Branson the crazy Brit knight who loves bizarre ideas. But wait, Singapore Airlines owns 49% of Virgin Atlantic Airways. Darn. But I guess it's still ok, Branson's 51% stake still triumphs. I could still get my Singapore Boy.
