rogue question: since you're a flight attendant, do you have a list of uniforms you like from different airlines?? whenever i fly i always admire some of the uniforms--like traditional dresses with singapore airlines, or those with berets/hats like emirates and avianca!!

I love this question! I was based in JFK for six years, so I was able to see some of the uniforms up close. I love seeing uniforms that reflect the culture and traditions of their home countries. On the flip side, I gravitate towards more modern/sleek uniforms because a lot of airlines still have uniforms that are stuck in the '90s.

My favorite by far is the 'Rosy Clouds' uniform for Hainan Airlines. I think it's the mix of tradition and high fashion that makes me love it so much.

Emirates is on the list because it's so iconic. Whenever they'd walk through the terminal, everyone would stop and stare.

Singapore Airlines and their 'Singapore Girl' marketing is also one of my favorites.

Same with Malaysia Airlines. I love the colors of their kebaya.

Qatar Airways is another airline that people stop and stare at when they walk through the terminal. And I love the burgundy...I think it's a color that looks good on everyone.

China Eastern was designed by Christian Lacroix and looks kind of similar to the Air France uniforms he designed, but I like these better.

Quantas recently refreshed their uniforms and they became one of my favorites. I'm not really sure why I love them, but I think it has to do with the fact that it's just one more airline that's giving flight attendants a more updated/stylish look.

Virgin Atlantic. Vivienne Westwood. I have coveted this coat since it first came out. A little known fact, when you're hired your airline will give you a uniform package and it always comes with a coat...typically a basic black trench coat. So whenever a new uniform comes out, we also get excited if there's a unique coat.

And in loving memory of Virgin America...I loved their uniforms and miss seeing them. I think they were the first airline (at least in the US) to give flight attendants a modern uniform.

Thank you for asking this! I've always had my favorites but it's been fun to do a little research and see uniforms from around the world.

this is so cute. I love the butcher chatting away and the cat responding, him pulling out a package of meat and showing it, just like he’s dealing with any customer.

The Chauvet cave, France, the art of prehistory.

In 1994, three friends discovered in the south of France a cave with magnificent cave paintings, more than 30,000 years old.

Under the ground of the Ardèche region, an invaluable treasure is hidden for its antiquity, its conservation and the pictorial quality of the representations; one of the oldest and most splendid examples of Arieñaciense parietal art, dating approx. between 40,000 and 30,000 B.C.

Antarctica was likely discovered 1,100 years before Westerners 'found' it

The first humans to discover Antarctica weren’t seafaring Westerners but rather Polynesians, who found the coldest continent 1,300 years ago, a new study suggests.

Researchers in New Zealand assessed oral histories about a Polynesian explorer spying an icy, mountainous continent untouched by the sun. To find the evidence, they sifted through “gray literature,” or historical reports that weren’t published in peer-reviewed journals, and integrated them with Indigenous oral histories and artwork. This deep dive into Indigenous history revealed that Polynesians likely discovered the southernmost continent more than a millennium before Westerners first spotted it in 1820, according to most historic reports.

“Māori (and Polynesian) connection to Antarctica and its waters have been part of the Antarctic story since circa [the] seventh century,” the researchers wrote in the study. Read more.

The book is 1984, which is neither. It's anti-authoritarian, which tells you a lot.
