Southwest: Cover up! Playboy: Take it off!

Kyla Ebbert, the 23-year-old famously hassled by a Southwest Airlines employee for wearing a miniskirt, has found a venue more accepting of her bare skin: Playboy. That's right, friends -- the Hooters waitress once asked to cover up with a blanket was asked to take it all off for Playboy. After consulting with Mom and Dad, Ebbert agreed. She's currently featured on the magazine's Web site in a spread titled, wait for it, "Legs in the Air" (it goes without saying, NSFW). If Playboy's overloaded server is any indication, plenty of people would have been more than happy to be her seatmate.

Southwest capitalized on this media circus by recently offering "miniskirt" fares -- now Ebbert's getting her piece of this prurient pie. When asked to comment on the photos, Ebbert simply said: "I don't see anything wrong with the female body."
