A crash course

Perhaps the biggest joke in recent Swedish history is Linda Rosing. For those who don't know (of) her, here's a quick recap.

1. Became famous (and I use the term famous very loosely) through Big Brother where she repeatedly had intercourse on live TV.
2. Went on to pose nude in various magazines.
3. Started a pop career, calling herself "Bionda", making a complete ass of herself yet again.
4. Married professional doorman "Fabbe".
5. Became politician, speaking out in various tv-shows and newspapers about how stupid it is to pose nude, how wrong it is to do porn, how women should try education instead of instant gratification. Didn't see the joke in it. Go figure.
6. Having failed at yet another profession, she turned to porn, saying "well, I won't do boy/girl stuff".
7. When the husband was thrown in prison and became unable to support her, she quickly divorced and stated that, come to think of it, she would do boy/girl stuff after all.
8. Broke contract with porn giant "Private", perhaps because it was too hard for her.
9. Became air hostess.

Apparently, this was her "dream profession" all along and her kids are ever so proud of her now that "she's gotten an education". Be that as it may, personally I'm far from confident she'll be able to handle walking up and down the isle asking "coffee or tea?".

She also made a point of saying that she doesn't want to be "headline Linda", she wants to be able to do something well. On one hand, at least she's honest about her previous professional career. On the other, it doesn't seem like a good start saying that she doesn't want to appear in newspapers IN A NEWSPAPER.
