Insert The Metal Fitting Is Not Just A Suggestion

As everyone knows, dahrlings, I’m not big on authority (unless the authority figure is big on me). But when flying through the air in a pressurized metal tube, I tend to pay attention. And not just because pilots are terminally…

Bah Humbug!

There’s a brilliant trend out and about on the interweb this Christmas, Pumpkins. I’m receiving darling little holiday emails that go something like this: “A Warm Christmas Greeting To You & Yours. But, seriously, our product is fabulous, book something.”…

IATA Says Women Should Be On Top

That silver fox, IATA’s Director General, Tony Tyler, is a hip cat, Pumpkins. Most men his age aren’t big on women riding the cockpit but he has made a public call for more airline women to be on top. Hear!…

A Whale Willy?

“WHALE PENIS!” squealed the 2 Open Jaw ninnies during a celebratory Christmas pictionary game. (Yes. This is what we do as an extra special treat here at the Jaw, dahrlings. The imagination boggles at what festive diversions they engage in…

Do I Hear A WooHoo For Air Rovinescu?

With the direction my chin has chosen, Pumpkins, I’m thinking of adding a niqab to my wardrobe. A hint of the mysterious is an asset – dance of the 7 veils and all that – especially when one’s assets are…

Keep Your Fingers Where I Can See Them

The business world has gone to hell in a cell phone, dahrlings. People are so distracted, dates, times, places have no meaning. I followed up with IATA yesterday on a deadline they’d given me for October 1st… and they said,…

I Do Love A Good Do

So I put on my best rubber reinforced thong and make the rounds:  a cocktailly product launch, a training academy, a few mix & mingles — and lo and behold, dahrlings, they are chock-a-block with travel agents. Like little Pumpkin…
