It doesn’t take much to get thrown off an airplane these days, as Kyla Ebbert found out when a Southwest Airlines employee told her she was too bare for the air. Two months later, she’s still trying to figure out what was wrong with her outfit.
In an exclusive appearance Friday on TODAY, Ebbert modeled the outfit she says she wore on the flight in question. It consisted of a snug-fitting white top with a scoop neck that stopped just short of showing cleavage.
Over the shirt was a green sweater that buttoned underneath her bosom. It was finished with high-heeled sandals and a white denim mini-skirt with a fashionably frayed hem.
It was a lot more clothing than the 23-year-old college student wears on her job as a Hooters waitress. Her mother, Michele Ebbert, said she would have told her daughter if the outfit was inappropriate.
“But her outfit is fine, Michele Ebbert told TODAY co-host Matt Lauer. “She looks like every other college girl in San Diego.”
Not according to a Southwest employee identified only as “Keith,” who approached Ebbert after she had taken her seat on the plane and was listening to the flight attendants go through their pre-departure routine.
“He told me, ‘I’m sorry, but you’re going to have to take a later flight. You’re dressed inappropriately. This is a family airline. You’re dressed too provocative to fly on this flight,’ ” she told Lauer.
“I said, ‘What part of it, the shirt, the skirt? Which part?’ “ Ebbert continued, recounting her conversation with Keith about her outfit. “And he said, ‘The whole thing.’“ I said, ‘I didn’t bring any luggage with me. I don’t have anything to change into. What can I do to make sure I can get onto that flight?’ ...”

She does look like a tranny. The Today show video shows her looking very masculine as well. Oddly enough, she looks very good in her MySpace photos. Perhaps they’re dated.
Cue Johnny: "I...did...not.... know.... that."
And will be forever grateful for that fact.
Thanks; I retract fuzz, but forever I will not get it out of my head...
Good Lord all mighty, the house is clean while it is burning down so don't worry about cleaning up before the fire fighters arrive.
LOL!! Great post.
no underwear
I think you have gotten to the crux of the whole incident. Wearing white after Labor Day was the issue all the time!
Although I can agree with your tastes I cannot agree that your tastes should prevail as you would have them enforced.
Again, sometimes freedom isn't pretty.
I do, too, but being an older fellow, I’ve seen better.
We should check whether “fuzzed” or “pixelate” are official verbs - if not we can lobby the OED on behalf of this prim and proper Hooters waitress.
Back in the day, I really wanted to get on “Win Ben Stein’s Money.”
I sent Ben an e-mail telling him I had a really sexy brain, and would send him naked pictures of it if he’d invite me on.
(Never heard back.)
Y’all should have babies.
I'd sit next to her on a plane if for no other reason than that.
That is one of my favorite pictures EVER.
Damn! It's so good to see a man who understands the importance of wearing white after Labor Day!!!
Seriously. Cover up the blonde with your fingers and take a good long gander at that mug.
At least from that picture.
She’s five-five, which we in Texas frankly don’t consider tall.
Children’s Place sells skirts that have worked well for my daughter. Limited Too is a bit short.
