KEEPING TO HIS PROMISE

Wow!  Imagine being on board a plane and the air stewardess is Virgin Airlines Boss, Sir Richard Branson in drag.  That would be a real treat, wouldn't it?  Actually some lucky passengers of Air Asia happened to have such an amazing experience.  All this came about because of a bet between him and Air Asia Boss, Tony Fernandez.  As the Malaysian airline magnate came up trumps, Sir Richard had to make good his promise.

Richard Branson In A Skirt: Ugliest Stewardess Ever?

British billionaire Richard Branson strutted his stuff as an AirAsia flight attendant Sunday—complete with fishnet stockings and figure-hugging red pencil skirt. His star turn on the flight from Perth to Kuala Lumpur came after he lost a Grand Prix bet with the budget carrier's founder Tony Fernandes.

The Virgin boss agreed with the AirAsia chief executive in 2010 that whoever's Formula One team—then Virgin and Lotus—finished their debut season lower would serve as a stewardess on the other's airline. In an ironic twist of timekeeping, Branson came off worse after Virgin ended 12th in the World Constructors' Championship, two spots behind Lotus. 

His stint as a stewardess was postponed in early 2011 after he injured himself while skiing. There was no escape on Sunday however, when he was recruited to serve coffee, tea and meals on the five-and-a-half-hour flight.

Though he kept his trademark beard, he shaved his legs to show them off in black fishnets beneath his AirAsia uniform. He topped off the outfit with bright red lipstick, heavy eye make-up and his blonde hair pulled back in a quiff. Photos from the flight showed him chatting with passengers and serving food to Fernandes, who used to work for Branson in the music industry.

"This has been a real first for me but I have enjoyed the experience," Branson said. "I've always said I'm a man of my word and I'm happy to have finally honoured the bet."

He disembarked in red flat ballet pumps and posed with a handbag for the media. Fernandes said Branson graduated as an AirAsia cabin crew member "with flying colours". AirAsia donated part of the money from ticket sales to a children's charity in Australia. It wasn't reported if the flight departed or arrived on time.

Since the original bet was made between Branson and Fernandes, Virgin's team has been bought by Marussia Motors, while Fernandes' team has been renamed Caterham. Both of those teams finished 2012 with no points.
