In drag on Air Asia flight

0 Comments

Branson shaves his legs and wears red lipstick, eyeliner, false eyelashes and a pigtail along with his high heels, stockings, and red Air Asia stewardess uniform after losing a bet with Tony Fernandes. He performs a safety demonstration on an Air Asia flight from Perth to Kuala Lumpur, pours drinks, serves meals, and makes inflight announcements. Tickets for the flight are $400 with $100 going to the Starlight Children’s Foundation in Australia. Charity bidders raise another $200,000 for the foundation in return for the chance to shave Branson’s legs before the flight.

This has been a real first for me but I have enjoyed the experience and I have nothing but respect for what our fabulous flight attendants do every day to keep us safe.
