Unemployed Flight attendants turn to SEX SELLS Cliche

Call it- Too Sexy or Too risky! The black hole of "unemployment" has given many a reason to think of ways to make your own income. Even if it means showing some skin.

These creative jobless Mexican flight attendants have found a niche in modeling for their own swimsuit calendar. Now every male in Mexico City is running to get their calendars, find out more bout them and get pictured with them. I wonder of they would of received the same publicity for just making a calendar with their regular uniforms.

Ten stewardesses with troubled Mexicana airlines, which filed for bankruptcy in August and suspended operations, launched a sultry aviation-themed calendar Thursday in a bid to call attention to their own plight and that of their airline — one of the world's oldest.

The 2011 calendar features glossy shots of the flight attendants, clad only in bikinis and aviation shades or abbreviated uniforms, draped over propellers and striking racy poses in the cockpit.

One of the flight attendants response to this last lifesaver to their unemployment status comments, "It occurred to me because we all needed money, and I thought that with so many pretty girls (among Mexicana's staff) there were bound to be some who'd be interested," she said.

Each of the 10 "aeromozas" — or flight attendants in Spanish — who ended up posing forked out money from her own pockets to help cover the production costs of 100,000 pesos (about $8,000).

"The goal was to try to help ourselves because we lost everything overnight," said one of the women, 26-year-old Maribel Zavala

The calendar has sparked a media frenzy in Mexico, and the first run of 1,000 was sold out even before Thursday's launch. A second edition of 3,000 calendars — which retail for 149 pesos, or about $12, apiece — is in the works.

The calendar's release came on the heels of Mexicana's announcement that a restructuring proposal might allow it to resume some flights by mid-December. Under the plan, just 30 percent of the company's personnel would be rehired.

Creativity is becoming a thing of survival of the fitest. The ones who will take it in their own hands to earn money it will come at whatever price.
