Excuse me, dahrlings, but...

Is There A Face On Board?
Ivanna Gabbalot

Jennifer Aniston

Emirates just
announced that Jennifer Aniston is to be their ‘face’.
I would have picked a better body part, Pumpkins.
Airlines have had many mascots over the years, but never a chin. (Apparently Reese Witherspoon’s was unavailable for a mere $5
million deal.)

Mind you, the jaws on the Open Jaw
dinkettes here are big enough to park a cargo container on. Those really are big old girls.

Point is, the Friends’
facial endorsement is on
the heels of Nicole Kidman signing on to shill for Etihad. It’s like an Abu
Dhabi vs Dubai aging super chick fight. Hollywood's own selling for the Arabs must really be pissing off U.S. carriers who want nothing more than to take a
bite out of the UAE's oil fed airline subsidies. 

But never mind all that,
Pumpkins, Super Carrier Air Canada – ‘more
profitable
than a speeding Dreamliner’ – will show’em how it’s done when
they launch into DBX. I’m seriously considering the offer of being their body
parts, dahrlings. Do with my face what you will, Calin! As long as it’s on the lie
flat extendo seat.

Columnist

Part legend, part myth, all woman: Ivanna Gabbalot is OJ’s gossip columnist and considers herself the industry’s conscience. Equally annoying to Open Jaw management and inflated egos in C-suites everywhere, Ivanna works infrequently, preferring to snipe from the sidelines.
