An island in the Maldives will be staffed exclusively by blondes if a scheme by Lithuanian firm Olialia gets the green light.
An island in the Maldives will be staffed exclusively by blondes if a scheme by Lithuanian firm Olialia gets the green light.
Olialia (pronounced Ooh La La) is hoping that by opening a resort in the Indian Ocean destination staffed entirely by fair-haired women, they can dispel the stereotype that blondes are “less intelligent”.
To this end, their plans include an education centre, where the secrets of “how to always be perfect and look great” will be passed on to female workers, an airline and yacht service staffed only by blondes, including the pilots – and other holiday services.
The company already operates dozens of blonde-themed businesses in Europe, and plans to open the blonde-staffed resort in the Maldives by 2015.
Olialia’s (blonde) managing director, Giedre Pukiene, says her plans for the blonde-staffed paradise getaway are part of her long-term goal to prove that blonde women are a bunch of clever-clogs.
She said: “Our girls are very smart and they have degrees. All of them want to do something with their lives. They have lots of business ideas.”
Maldives officials are backing the plan, though it risks angering conservative sections of the Muslim country. Sill, if Olialia really does contain so many smart people, it’s bound to find a way to make it work. At least, that’s what thousands of single men will no doubt be hoping.
