Woman in skank costume considers airline suit

Hooters waitress and San Diego college student Kyla Ebbert, 23, who dressed as a skank for a one-day trip to a doctor's appointment in Arizona, was cautioned by a Southwest Airlines steward onboard her flight that her outfit was too revealing. She requested a blanket to cover the skank costume and disembarked in Tucson without further incident.

She is now thinking of suing the airline.

Upon seeing the skank outfit, Ebbert's mother maintained that all San Diego college students looked like skanks.

NEWS ANALYSIS: People have questioned what kind of medical help might one obtain in Tucson that one couldn't get in San Diego, but that's not the point. Ebbert's Constitutional right to receive medical attention dressed as a skank (I believe that is the Hillary Scott costume Ebbert is wearing) is irrefutable. Myself, I often go to my podiatrist dressed as Chewbacca (and, thanks for asking, my Midi-chlorian count is even higher than Master Yoda's).

Note: Other news reports say Ebbert actually attends college in Mesa, AZ, which requires residents to dress like skanks and douse themselves with melon body spray. Some day I will move to Mesa.
