Get up close and personal with the calendar girls of VivaAerobus!
UPDATE: Gadling managed to score exclusive access to the actual calendar, check out the photos here!
VivaAerobus, the upstart Mexican low cost carrier has taken a page out of the Ryanair guide to getting people to pay attention to you.
Each year, Ryanair publishes a calendar with their sexiest flight attendants, so VivaAerobus decided to bring that concept to their own airline. Of course, since VivaAerobus is partially owned by the Ryan family, I'm sure they did not have to look too far for inspiration.
To give passengers an idea what they can expect in the calendar, they posted a short video clip of the "making of" on Youtube. The video clip may not be entirely "safe for work", so save it till you can close your office door, or better yet, watch it on your mobile phone.
The calendar will be available at VivaAerobus ticket desks and on board the airline for $10, but the best part is that all proceeds benefit a Mexican children's cancer institute, so don't feel too guilty for buying one.
Can't watch the video at work? Check out some of the images from the "making of"!

I would have thought that this type of behavior is exactly what flight attendants would be trying to avoid..if you want to be considered a "professional", act like one. This is trash, pure and simple. No wonder men fantasize about flight attendants. This type of behavior only enforces the rumors that are out there. I'd be extremely insulted if I were one of those F/A's who had some self respect and didn't have to resort to garbage to promote myself.

I agree with you 100%. This is just inappropirate trash.

Get a grip! You can see more skin at the mall or swimming pool.
It sure beats seeing old hags at the beach.
There is absoolutely nothing trashy about showing a little bit of skin for a charitable causeI'm a female and would do it (show some skin)

you sound like you wouldn't qualify to be
on the calendar anyway ... jealousy is such
a mean spirited thing ..

I have always fantasized about lot of things, for example I always wanted to be a firefighter. In my adolescence I fantasized about Madonna, and then about Carmen Electra, and now about a Harley Davidson.
What I have now? Lots of Madonna´s CD´s. Some pictures of Carmen Electra, and lots and lots of parafernalia from HD.
Great looking girls, great video, great cause.

This is a breath of fresh air. Every where in the "Civilized" world but America, this is considered just fine. Even more than Aqueda, we need to crush the radical "Evangelicals" who would force us to follow thier ridiculous beliefs.
Juan Two Three Jan 26th 2009 10:32PM
"Civilized" world.......so, Mexico is "civilized"? When was the last time YOU went to Mexico? A country with a completely corrupt police force, narcotics as the top national export, and headless people showing up all over Tijuana? Funny how so many people want to leave that "civilized" paradise for the smothering confines of "Evangelical America".
"Crush the radical Evangelicals who would force us to follow their ridiculous beliefs". Nice bit of hypocrisy there....so anyone who doesn't think like you and stroke themselves over a video should be crushed?
Please tell me you don't vote.....because you're too stupid to make a decision that may affect someone else's life.

i rather watch this then listen to those preachers that seem to keep their hands off little kids or preachers that say their not gay thay get caught twice. asking for forgivness thats crap.. why people still get fooled and money taken every week is beyond me..
i think everyone that invested 10% of their money to the church should ask for some return on that money to help bail out the flock, or better yet have all the churches help bail out the economy, sounds fair. give 10% real money get back blind fatih.. lets see if they believe in you has much as you all think they do.

Shameful.
Mystic Jan 26th 2009 8:40PM
I think this is fine. If you don't like it don't fly it. If you do have fun!
jude Jan 26th 2009 8:59PM

Deb Jan 26th 2009 10:58PM
If they want to do this it's their business, but I'm personally very choosy about the men I want leering at me. The hot men usually don't drool and leer..only the pot-bellied oogly ones do! ha
Bubba Jan 27th 2009 12:46AM
Deb, you cannot choose who will be leering at you if you choose to expose yourself like that. You have to take the good with with bad, and the ugly! ...lol

I hope to God these photos were taken by somebody running around with a 2 megapixel point and shoot or even a cell phone. The quality is awful. Not a bad concept, but maybe wouldnt of used my own employees.. or for that sake my company name.. kind of trashy for a company. If it was a high fashion shoot, wouldve been a great concept.
Mark Jan 27th 2009 4:49AM
Fantastic- This is what the air-liner wants and with day and age if it helps out with the company and makes people smile that's free enterprise. Let's move on and build up that company :)

>>> Bring back the good looking, well dressed stewardesses of the 70's. Well, I mean healthy young women who are under 25 years old, under strict weight limits, and a good sight for sore eyes. Get rid of the feminist hags some of whom have been flying since the 70's.
