Hot Slut Of The Day!
Oscar, Virgin Atlantic’s new big gay mascot!
The first time I stepped onto a Virgin America (RIP!) plane, an ethereal glow of soothing purple rays hit my face as some “after-party in Ibiza circa 2002″ acid-jazz hit my ears. It was 9:30 in the damn morning, and Virgin America had taken me to a gay lounge, and it was then that I knew Virgin was a gay paradise in the sky (or as much of a gay paradise as a disgusting plane can be), and they’ve continued to bring the gayness with one of their new mascots: Oscar the Gay Plane Nymph!
Virgin Atlantic is retiring their pin-up Flying Lady mascot and replacing her with a more diverse lineup. Travel + Leisure says that the new flying icons will decorate Virgin Atlantic’s new A350 planes (*checks to see if those are the planes that crash*). Four will debut this summer and another eight will start flying for Virgin Atlantic by 2021. The new lineup of icons includes today’s HSOTD as well as Zadie, Daley, Meera, and Rey (the ginger Michelle Visage one):
Nikki Humphrey, the senior vice president of people (that is my nightmare title since I hate most people) at Virgin Atlantic, said this about their new flying icons:
“The saying goes ‘you can’t be what you can’t see’ and that has never been truer than the aviation industry’s glamourous image in the past. By introducing our new Flying Icons I hope it encourages people from all backgrounds to feel at home flying with us, but also working with us.”
Besides that painted-on power bottom at Pride onesie, Oscar (who is probably named after the Wilde one) looks like any straight meterosexual from London. And yes, straight meterosexuals from London throw “yes, that’s my ass and isn’t it fantastic?” looks. And because the VP of People said that she hopes everyone feels at home flying with them, I’m taking that to mean that Oscar’s plane will only show The Golden Girls reruns, will have flattering LED lighting, will serve at least 10 flavors of vodka, and will have pomade and tinted moisturizer available in every lavatory. You were probably expecting me to say that Grindr better work on that Oscar’s plane too. No, that would be a stereotype, and besides, I already get rejected enough on Grindr from land. Why would I want to be rejected in the air too?
