Vacation with Blondes



"Come, vacation with us."
A holiday resort in the Maldives Islands is operated by a Lithuanian company employing blonde women exclusively. Even the airplane pilots on direct flights to the island are blondes.

The company is named Olialia, pronounced "ooh-la-la," which obviously specializes in old-fashioned hubba-hubba.

[Update] According to Olialia managing director Giedre Pukiene,

"When women with dark hair work here, they are surrounded by all these beautiful blondes, so eventually they end up going blonde too," Olialia managing director Giedre Pukiene (a blonde) told the BBC, citing her company's desire to break the airhead stereotype.

"Our girls are very smart and they have degrees.

"All of them want to do something with their lives. They have lots of business ideas."

In opposition, critics contend that the blondes-only policy is racist, it violates local hiring laws and it is contrary to European Union discrimination laws.

I disagree with the critics. Arguably, smart, degreed blondes are endangered and deserving of their own protected habitat at a resort in the Maldives. (more….)
