Airport Fashion

You know the articles on websites and in magazines...what the celebs are dressed like when they are flying...it just cracks me up. I saw this pictures Beyonce today, just taking a leisurely stroll through the airport before a flight. Seriously? Can you even imagine wearing these shoes on a flight or to even walk through an airport and through security? I mean they are gorgeous, they are Gucci "Lucy" that run about 1700.00...but I can't imagine wearing them at the airport. Let me tell you about my flight outfits. Umm..no makeup because I am going to be on a plane for 10 hours! That and it would feel gross after such a long day. My hair is pulled back, I am in comfortable clothes and flip flops. I was once on a flight from Seattle to Pasco and there was this girl who was decked out in heels, a dress a trench coat, she had a silk covered pillow, red lipstick and her sunglasses on. Even while waiting for her luggage. I was like Seriously? This is PASCO not LA and if you are collecting your own baggage, well then you aren't exactly an A-list celebrity! It was too funny. I guess if I had someone to carry my baby, my bags, push my buggie, and then take my baby during the flight so that I could rest, and then have the time to touch up my hair and makeup and slip on a pair of fabulous shoes I'd do it too. No. I wouldn't!

A brief example of mine and Aidan's last solo flight from the States to Scotland we had a bit of an incident. I always pack a couple of changes of clothes for Aidan and usually one for me. During our flight from Seattle to London Aidan started to have umm..intestinal issues (he was about 13 months old) so several diapers and all of our clothes changes later we are landing. I am thinking, wow we did pretty good. It had been a long 9.5 hours but we survived. I am feeling pretty good, though we still have about another 10 hours to go. As we start our descent into London my baby begins to projectile vomit EVERYWHERE. THREE TIMES! We are covered, it is in a pool under my butt and there is nothing we can do. We are landing so no flight attendants, no help. We have to wait for the entire plane to deplane (Do you know how many people were on the flight? A LOT) and everyone walk by us giving me the pity look. We have no clothes. None. One of the mail flight attendants GIVES me his pants. I strip down to a tank top (I had a sweater on over it) Aidan is in a diaper wrapped in British Air blanket. I have pants on that are way too big and falling down. A white tank top, no bra and we stink to high heaven. They had given me a big trash bag (see through) that held all of our clothes and blankets so everyone could see) It was hell. We had to bus from Terminal 5 at Heathrow to Terminal 4, go through passport control again, go through security again, people were looking at me like I was Britney Spears on crack. We had a tight connection and had no time to stop to buy anything. After about an hour of transfers, ques and the like we finally make it to our gate. We sit down and smell so bad that people actually get up and leave. We fly to Edinburgh, where we were able to buy a couple of T-shirts and then fly to Inverness. I had called JR and he met us in Inverness with new clothes and we were able to wash in the sink before our 3 hour drive home! He took a couple of pictures of us getting off of that flight. I'll see if I can find the pictures and send them! How is that for Airport Style?
