Cover up, please!

I don't care what people wear. Old guys in speedos? Good for them. But I saw something last week that I wish I hadn't.

When you fly (and sit on the aisle) , there is one person on the plane you can see better than anyone else--the person across the aisle, one row ahead of you. On a flight home last week, that seat was taken by a young blond wearing flip flops, black tights (but without feet--leggings?), and a completely see-thru white t-shirt. Again, I don't usually notice what people wear, but the girl startled me, twice. First by nearly falling into my lap when she was stowing her bag in the overhead compartment. I caught her, sort of. Through her almost-invisible shirt, I couldn't help but see the tag on her tights ("S") and that her beige panties were sticking out more than a little. I wouldn't fly dressed that way (even if I was a girl), but like the guys in speedos, good for her (I guess?). Whatever, don't care!

But, I wish she had covered up her feet. She startled me a 2nd time when she sat down and crossed her ankle over her knee so she could rub her foot. The poor girl had Zombie Feet! I swear they were gray. I almost couldn't look away from them. Throughout the flight I kept looking back because I couldn't believe my eyes. Gray feet? Circulation problem? Some kind of unfortunate fungus? Maybe she has to wear flip-flops. I'd never seen anything like that before. I felt a little guilty because I kept thinking about the "zombie" exchanges Stiletto Girl, Toothfairy and Manju used to have. That made me smile...and I shouldn't have been smiling while looking at a sick girl's gray feet. I feel bad for her, but I wish I didn't know it was possible to have gray feet attached to tan ankles.

How is that possible???


PS - I only drank water that day, so I was seeing clearly! =)

  2. Lol. I wish you could have snapped a quick picture without flash of course that way she would never have noticed. I've never seen something like that, a picture would have been great. hehehehe

  3. I always thought it's better to be covered up in flights, both the attire and footwear.

    Darn, I'm still waiting for a chance for some yummy yum yum chick to lose her balance and fall on me on the plane.
    *blush*

    And Ric, you better go see a dermatologist or something. She might have infected ya, either through the moment she lands on you, or the common air that both of you breathe on the plane. Haha. =p

  4. How weird, never heard or seen something like that! Actually, I also don't care what people wear, but hey, I'm a girl and even though I say I don't care, I always look, hahahaha!

    I'm always fully covered up during flights cause I easily get cold of the airconditioner.

    Thanks for your kind comment too, I really keep contact with them through the Net. Would be a waste to leave such lovely contacts!

  5. LOL! That's just unfortunate. Anyway, unless they're flying to Hawaii or something, I wish people would put on decent shoes when flying. It's just not classy to wear flip-flops, I think.

  6. wierd.. lol! but that made me chuckle

    the grey feet may be just dirt. :P i don't know, i've never heard of such a thing before.

  7. Zombie transformation..........lollllllllllllll
    sounds kind of weird, but i feel bad for her though, must suck :(

  8. Haha her feet were either probably very dirty or dry and very dirty.

    Yes they are called leggings and they need to be worn with tact lol. I'm very sorry that you had to witness that mishap I would've probably had the same reaction haha.

    At least her luggage didn't fall on your head, that happened to me when I was coming back from Vegas. Some woman was using one hand to put her heavy bag in the overhead compartment and of course it fell and hit my head and she sarcastically said "sorry" like it was my fault that it fell and that she was a freakin idiot...people!

  9. Hahahahaha! I seriously LOLed here! This was awesome!!
    Yes, those are called leggings, and need to be used very carefully, since the 80's are history. But... flying like that? I might use those clothes (might!) to go to the bakery across the street to buy bread. But even so, no see-through anything - and grandma panties shouldn't ever be seen!
    During my trips I've seen people way overdressed - like, uncomfortably overdressed, that made me wanna say "hey lady, are you going to a nightclub as soon as we land?". But this girl... you should be comfortable alright, but not like that!
    As for her feet: eeeeeeeewwwww!!! Gross!

  10. Whoa.. Gray feet?? That's really gross... Maybe she does have circulation problems? My husband's feet are always cold. He's also 6' so we think his body has a hard time circulating blood through his whole body and it always misses his feet :D

  11. I would love to wear see-through if what lay underneath was something I can be proud of. I always wanted to show off a little more chest. Haha. But no. Of course God knew which assets not to give me because I would be wearing see-through any chance I get.

    Wait.(silence) Yeah, I have only had coffee so I know exactly what I am talking about, too.

  12. I can't imagine having tan ankles and gray feet. This is also the first time I've heard of it x_x

    On another topic, where is your song number? :D

    ReplyDelete
  13. LOL! That would really startle me too. I tend to wear jeans and sneaker when I fly, never think of to wear something like that :D.
    Btw, thanks for visiting my blog :)

    ReplyDelete
  14. LOL, hey when people flash of course you're going to look! I do it all the time, anyways if they don't want the attention they would cover up. And haha zombie feet, thats so gross!

    ReplyDelete

  17. gray feet? maybe they are just dirty?

  18. ewwww! gray feet!? i've never heard of that before! ... i was so curious that i googled it. I couldn't find too much info but i did see this one site that said if you have ashen gray feet, one of the causes could be shock. Maybe she was shocked and embarrassed that she almost fell on you?!?! haha!

  19. She's probably having some skin problem on her feet and have been advised to wear slippers.

    However, I would think she should have made herself less conspicuous. It's only plain civic-mindedness to allow other co-travellers to feel comfortable throughout the trip.

  20. Oh no! i dont know how to react, should i laugh or pity the girl with ZOMBIE FEET? oh life. HAHAHA ok seriously, i wish she had real friends or family who can tell her about the condition of her feet. a girl should have nice feet people! its the body part which will take you to beautiful places, girl take care of it! hehe :)

    funny post ric! :)

    ps. hows the weather there? its typhoon season here *scared* :(

  21. hahaha! you're hilarious! thanks for making my day with that composition of yours! :D

  22. That's certainly strange, about the feet. Personally, when I fly, I like to wear something comfortable rather than overdressed...or transparent as in this lady's case.

    P.S. You should definitely go for the fresh blueberries. You can pick lots and freeze a bunch. YOu'll thank yourself in the winter!

  23. Yaiks! Grey feet... could it be that they were just plain dirty? And a beige panty under the black leggings... she is just too careless.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Weird! Were her feet just really dirty? LOL. Hmm I can imagine someone wearing a see-through shirt like that - they've been reading too much Fashion Toast and thinking anyone can pull that off :p

    ReplyDelete
  25. HAHAAA i just read this, too funny...maybe the color(on the inside) of the shoes/sneakers she wore previously came off and dyed her feet?!! lol sorry this just sounds funny to me, but if she really had sick feet... but i really doubt it, she wouldn't have wore flip flops to show them off!

  26. wow you have a lot of stories I need to catch up to!

  27. ewwwwwwwww, the zombie feet just made me forget her unabashed sheerness. clearly she's into transparency and not much more. :/

    i guess she's just asking for it. is it cold in the plane btw?
