Too Skimpy for Plane, Just Right for Playboy

Posted Nov 17, 07 2:40 PM CST in Arts & Living,  US 

(Newser) – Kyla Ebbert's outfits just keeping getting skimpier. The 23-year-old California woman who nearly got booted from a Southwest Airlines flight because she wore clothes deemed too revealing has now posed for Playboy in the nude. "They're very tastefully done," she said of the photos. Southwest holds no grudges. "We wish her all the best," said a spokesman.

Ebbert gained more than 15 minutes of fame after the summer incident, in which she had to cover up her tank top and miniskirt, by making the rounds of the morning news shows. Southwest tried to turn the bad publicity around by offering a sale on "skimpy" fares, a move that didn't sit well with Ebbert. "I thought I'd been slapped in the face," she said.
