Flyer Told to Change Outfit Poses Nude

DALLAS (AP) - A 23-year-old college student who was told by a Southwest Airlines employee that her outfit was too revealing to fly 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 told The Associated Press on Thursday. "I don't see anything wrong with the female body."

Playboy contacted Ebbert's attorney to pitch the idea of posing. After "a little bit of talking" to convince her mother, Ebbert agreed. She said her boyfriend supported her decision, but "the most hesitant one was my dad."

On its Web site, Playboy says Ebbert "was too sexy for Southwest Airlines, but she's perfect for Playboy."

Ebbert said she was paid "less than six figures" to pose, but wouldn't give the specific amount.

A Southwest Airlines Co. employee pulled Ebbert off a flight this summer and forced her to adjust her outfit of a tank top, sweater and miniskirt before getting back on the plane.

Ebbert ripped the airline in appearances on NBC's "The Today Show" and "The Dr. Phil Show," during which she wore the outfit. Southwest officials said they don't have a dress code but don't want customers' attire to offend other passengers.

Ebbert said she was offended that Southwest tried to turn the dustup to its advantage by promoting a fare sale in honor of miniskirts. Southwest apologized to Ebbert, but she said she found the double-entendre-laced message unacceptable.

"They used my name in an ad campaign without asking permission," she said. "I thought I'd been slapped in the face."

Told of Ebbert's spread on the Playboy Web site, Southwest spokeswoman Beth Harbin said, "We wish her all the best."

Ebbert worked at a Hooters in San Diego but said wants to become an attorney, and doesn't think posing nude should get in the way of her professional aspirations.

"This was beautiful and classy. I don't see why it would affect a professional position," she said. "I'd do it again in a heartbeat."

I always thought it was pretty deluded for people to say how classy and tasteful nude photos are done.

They're nude photos man, they're not meant to be classy. I'd be willing to bet that her aspiring lawyer career doesn't go anywhere and she continues to do stuff like this until she's too old and ugly to do it anymore.

Where she says she felt like she was slapped in the face for them using her name..did they actually use her name in the ad or did it just have something to do with miniskirts? Worlds of difference there.

I don't know about these pictures, but i've definitely seen nude pictures that fall under the "classy and tasteful" arch. Not all naked pictures are porn :p

[Ouchyfish]

The sad thing is, while SW Airlines was being prudish, the reason people throw such an outrage out there anymore is that they know a lawyer will make them a fortune and in this case, they know playboy is watching....

You know she was saying "cha-ching" and imagining this as she was being escorted off the fuckin plane.

well clearly i mean nude pictures in literature like playboy =b

or like those posted on the CT site >.<

[Gaazy]

I disagree, there are 'classy' nude pictures and there are 'trashy' ones (the better ones =p).

Playboy = more 'classy' and artsy almost

Hustler and the like = 'trashy'


But anyway, Hustler > Playboy any day. The best porn is dirty, disgusting smut that makes women look like whores. Thats how pr0n was meant to be!

[Zanchief]

I'm not sure classy is the right word, but I think there is some porn that really isn't that bad.

It's just nudity.

[kinghooter00]

nothing wrong with naked....

[Gypsiyee]

the best you're going to get in playboy and the like is 'moderately tasteful.'

I don't know how anyone considers it artsy - it's meant for fapping material, and last I checked that wasn't art.

It's "artsy" because the female body can be beautiful and appreciated for that quality.

[Gypsiyee]

of course, I agree with you on that.. but that's not what it's going for in those magazines, and those magazines aren't artsy ><

[Narrock]

Naked chick pics with nice bodies are tasty, I mean tasteful. The naked female body is beautiful, and pics portraying that are considered art.

Thread over... unless you agree with me.

she doesnt do anything for me.

[Gaazy]

okok, I guess artsy wasnt the right word, but you catch my drift yes? Besides art suck (paintings, drawings, other gay shit like that) and porn doesnt

[Martrae]

I still say anything nude entitled "Legs in the Air" cannot be called classy or tasteful.

[Gaazy]

But having "Legs in the air" is what women were put here for! Not much other point for them

[KaiineTN]

Does anyone else find knees to be rather ugly? Hers stuck out for me.

[10sun]

Her face is fugly & she has cankles.

[Tossica]

She doesn't do much for me.

[Haylo]

I don't understand why they told her to get off the plane with that outfit on. I see worse than that at the school I work at every single day.

[Martrae]

She had the undershirt pushed up under her boobs and the skirt pulled down to her pubes.

[Gaazy]

yeah she's not very pretty at all

[Jennay]

Her boobs look wierd and 10sun beat me to it about the cankles.

[Ouchyfish]

Her boobs look wierd and 10sun beat me to it about the cankles.

I think the high-heels distort the ankles in the pic..
