I applaud her confidence to be whoever she wants to be. That to me is better than someone who would pay for plastic surgery to be someone who they are not. Conforming to the social "norm" is just plain boring.

Out of cognitive curiocity
And with the hope to hear the following explanation:
FA: Excuzes-moi. No duck. It's beacause of our Sunday Rule.
SFO777: Sunday rule?
FA: Yes, on Sundays we load 2 ducks but are permitted to serve one only.

Just because you dress less than discreet doesn't mean that you want to or should be publicly ridiculed. Reading some comments on this thread reminds me of watching a US High School teen movie and those nasty cheerleaders.

I would have investigated this mistery deeper.

The Best in the World La Première arrival and transfer experience at CDG
Two La Première reps met us on the jet bridge as the door opened. One rep took Mr. 2A to customs and baggage claim, while the 2nd rep took us and Ms. 2L to a separate van for the ride to the La Première lounge
Down the jet bridge elevator.
To our van.
A few minutes later, we arrived and the La Première Lounge.
Upstairs in the gorgeous First Class Lounge.
A nice selection of serve yourself options.
But the best part was the Alain Ducasse menu.
Mrs. SFO decided to rest up in the sleep area while I had some lunch.
The coquillettes avec jambon/truffe noir was to die for, especially paired with a 1er Cru Pulingny. OMG... heaven.
After lunch, back to join Mrs. SFO for a short nap before our connecting flight to Dublin.
Complimentary treatments are available should one desire.

Paris-Dublin
Air France CityJet 1116
AvroJet 85
3:25p-4:30p
August 22, 2016
Seats 2DF
At around T-25, our La Première rep came over and escorted us downstairs to our car for the ride to our CityJet flight.
And the short walk to our plane.
And extra leg room bulkhead seats 2DF.
I wasn't hungry at all but too one for the photo op.
OK, the desserts were really good, and the rest of the meal looked pretty tasty.
Our descent to Dublin.
No meet and greet here, most likely because we were on a separate ticket for this leg.
Strange trek to customs and baggage claims as we had to wait for trucks to pass before crossing an active roadway.
Customs was a breeze and we were outside in a few minutes where our driver Dave was waiting for the 90 minute drive to Ballyfin.

Will post to FT as soon as possible.
