This is not a post about the poor manners of a passenger, but a tribute to her clever and effective marketing.

Shrewd: Model “Spontaneously” Dries Lingerie With Air Vent On Southwest Airlines Flight (Yeah Right…)

I won't name her, but I will show the video below. It is quite clever. The model claimed that she had too much to drink the night before and continued drinking at the airport. She spilled her drink. She used the air vent to dry off her underwear.

“I was wearing the panties under a skirt, and I spilled liquor on my skirt and it soaked down to my underwear. So, I took them off and I held them up to the fan to dry. I just figured, ‘Why not?”

Why not ask your friends seated a few rows back to film it? You should post it on TikTok where you know it will go viral and be picked up by travel writers?

Well done. Well done.

She put her underwear back on after holding them up for three minutes.

Mission accomplished? There are over two million views on TikTok.

Why do I cover this? Sometimes bad behavior on airplanes is staged to profit from the expected reaction to it.

Politicians who carefully craft poll-tests words into speeches, caring little for the substance of what they are saying only about the reaction from the public.

This is more clever than disgusting. She did a publicity stunt that worked out according to plan.
