A Resort With Blonde Ambition
No matter how good your resume looks it may not be enough to land you a job at a new resort set to open in the exotic Maldives. A Lithuanian firm called Olialia (pronounced ooh-la-la) plans to open a resort on the island and employ exclusively blonde women to run it.
A recent report from CNN discusses Olialia’s plans for the resort set to open in 2015 and the public’s reaction. The firm has also stated that there will be an airline established to take tourists to the resort that will also be employed exclusively by blonde flight attendants and pilots.
One spokeswoman for the company, Giedre Pukiene, discusses some of the controversial plans for the luxury resort. Pukiene says, “There are plans to build a high-class blondes resort with hotels, entertainment, and spa centers on the island. Other important things - like and education (center) called ?Pretty Women’ - will teach female guests to always be perfect and look great.”
It has not yet been made clear whether women will have to be naturally blonde or dye their hair in order to work there. Pukiene has spoken to the BBC about her company which is run and staffed by blondes saying, “But we find that when women with dark hair work here, they are surrounded by all these beautiful blondes, so eventually they end up going blonde too.”
So far, response to the plans for the resort have been mixed with some people arguing that having employees dye their hair blonde is not much different than asking them to be clean shaven while others find it both sexist and racist to staff an entire resort with one “type” of person.
What do you think of the plans to open a resort staffed with all blonde women?

Littlegalbiggrin | Athens, TNMarketing gimick I think. They get free publicity because people are now discussing the controversy.

Lusadi | Wasilla, AKIt's idiotic, if amusing. Why would anyone want to go to such a place?
by
justmauid | Dexter, MESilly. Do you suppose the owner is a blonde woman or maybe a perverted man that has it going on for blondes?

bionicwoman | LITTLE ROCK, ARI don't think this whole idea is about discrimination! I mean they have resorts for men only or women only or couples only, so what is the big deal with this type of resort!!

by
jenndta69 | SHERMAN OAKS, CAThis is one of the dumbest things that I have ever heard of. Needless to say, because it's in their country, I don't care. It's stupid, but it does not affect me. However, if they ever try that here in the US, I will take my reddish brown self over there and give them a piece of my mind!!!
by
MadHatter | Whitestone , NYisn't this a new form of discriminating? does that mean that now business can hire only skinny people and deny fat people? white people instead of black? hey, if they can do it, then why can't others right?

jan866 | GLENDALE, WIdumb blondes. lol
by
girl17 | EAGAN, MNI'm not sure I get the point of only blondes. I think the resort might unintentionally limit its guests too if they aren't interested in only blondes. This just seems a little odd to me, not really offensive, just weird.
