'Singapore Girl' Photos
My apologies if this has already been posted, but I came across a WebShots album this afternoon with some great photos of the 'Singapore Girl' training process. Serves as a nice departure from the 'robotic' mentality that people sometimes complain about.

I guess I'm not really understanding your implication. These are just a couple of interesting links about the SQ F/A training process.
Incidentally, someone at Airliners.net said that USAToday(?) had done an indepth story about SQ cabin crew. And then a bunch of people posted historical photos of SQ uniforms.

And perhaps you'dd like to know that each and every Sarong Kebaya is tailor made to fit each and every girl specific to her very exact measurements! ie one girl's uniform can't fit another!
And these are the real uniforms.. .not like the tourist knock-off's you find along Orchard Road!
