Handsome Stewardess

Three Singaporean contestants went to a bar their last night in Taiwan. Holly, the tomboy bartender, gifted Meng Lian with a mixed drink called ‘Love in the Clouds.’ Suddenly a fight ensued in the bar, but Meng Lian, a national karate champion, successfully stopped the dispute. For Holly, it was love at first sight. Eventually Meng Lian also fell in love despite the distance between their homes. To save flights costs and meet more frequently, Holly applied to become a stewardess. Her height, high IQ and language skills made her an ideal flight attendant. However, she resisted wearing make-up, high heels or a pencil skirt for her interview. Fortunately, their friend, Jerry, was willing to help her transform.

Just right after Holly became a trainee, she couldn’t help but felt annoyed when stereotypes among gender happened so frequently in her daily life. Before the lecture ended, the designer added: “If I failed to trigger sex fantasies with my stewardess uniform, that’ll be my failure.” That’s also one of the reasons that Holly and the trainees’ uniform is 15cm above their knee, as the result of a new airline opponent who promoted bikini stewardess in order to stimulate tickets sales. Throughout their training, all trainees had accepted the fact that stewardess is equalized to sexiness. But Holly refused to—she doubt herself for making a huge mistake. She wanted to give up. Meanwhile, Meng Lian got injured during a karate trial and was forced to retire from the national team. She was introduced to work in a community health center, taking care of sports equipment. She felt depressed knowing that she couldn’t be a karate player anymore.

Meng Lian spent her spare time in the gym, tried to persuade herself that she had chosen a life-assured path, meantime kept her job related to sports somehow. A tomboy baker, Chuan, came in, and she was amazed to Meng Lian’s explosive boxing movement. It’s finally Holly’s first flight experience being officially a stewardess. “I thought you were the well-known tomboy bartender in our bar!” The ex-colleagues from the bar took the same flight, started to make fun of the old time tomboy bartender. Holly felt overwhelmed. Meng Lian invited her to join MMA sometimes, in order to release stresses. Even Holly’s parents joined her colleagues, teasing her around: “Our famous tomboy bartender has become someone trying to cover her butt with a stewardess uniform.” Listening to the jokes, Holly is praying hard that one day she could replace entire stewardess outfit with a handsome steward uniform.

As time goes by, Holly had got her publicity as a “handsome stewardess” in a lesbian community online group. Harriet wouldn’t mind if Holly was a steward or a stewardess, as long as the customers are satisfied and safe. This day, Jerry was, unprecedentedly, harassed by two aunties in business class. Jerry couldn’t stand with it and reported it to the deputy purser. But the deputy purser put his blame on Jerry instead, because the customers were diamond cards holder. Holly appeared as a handsome stewardess, it turned out the aunties are very satisfied with her service. Witty Holly survived throughout these days, using her identity as handsome stewardess, to resolve the crisis. Harriet’s acquiescence made her path even smooth. Holly was growing her passion onto the job.

Meng Lian was invited by the gym manager to take part in a contest called “Energy Fight.” To go for the training, Meng Lian might have to sacrifice her job in the community health center. She couldn’t make up her mind, so she tried to call Holly, but Holly was busy having lunch with Pan. Meng Lian expressed her annoyance to Chuan. Chuan confessed to her, and asked her to keep the job. Meng Lian was very appreciated for Chuan’s accompaniment. When Holly reached home later that night, Meng Lian found out that she smelt like a branded perfume. To avoid misunderstanding, Holly lied to her that she was having lunch with a guy, who was also a gay. Meng Lian believed it.

Meng Lian finally found out that the chairman was not a gay, but a rich, talented and gorgeous woman. Meng Lian asked jealously: is Holly fighting for human right, or is she actually having an affair with Pan? She decided to move out from the house. Chuan came to help. When the court was adjourned, Holly called Jerry, knowing that Meng Lian had just left the house. At the end, Holly won the case, but she quitted the job at the same time. Pan showed up again, offering chances for her to work in the company. Holly insisted that she doesn’t want to live in a world without Meng Lian. She planned to move back to Taiwan, to build a martial hall using one of the room in the Ilan House, waiting for Meng Lian to come back and live the future together with her.
