Looking for a holiday job in Australia? A car wash in Queensland capital Brisbane is advertising some vacant positions at the moment. They're looking for backpackers and travelers who want to earn some quick big bucks at this "small and exclusive car wash".
So what's the catch? Well, this is the Bubbles'n'Babes car wash and you've gotta be topless or nude to work there. It's a response to a drought-induced water shortage that's made it illegal for Brisbanites to wash their cars at home. Topless car washes start at $50, and full nudity (and a clean car) are $100.
A few locals have been complaining about the new business, but police and the local council say nothing illegal is going on: even the job ads makes it clear there's "no hustling and no touching".
The cops did ask for a screen on the street side of the car wash though:
We don't want any traffic accidents caused by people looking at the girls instead of looking at the road.
Safe driving then, and check it out if you want to make Aussie dollars fast.
Here's a factoid for you: while the number of air travelers around the world has spent the last 15 years rising, in Russia it's dropped from 130 million passengers per year during the times of the Soviet Union to just 20 million now. Why? It got expensive, true, when the USSR collapsed, but a key reason is people thought it was just too plain dangerous. The safety record of Russian domestic flights was simply way too unfriendly.
So why, we ask, would anyone want to fly a Russian budget airline? Although there's no evidence to support this, we all secretly assume that budget airlines cut corners and that if you pay about $20 for a flight you can't always expect to get to your destination without a hiccup. Despite this, newcomer SkyExpress has proudly launched flights from Vnukovo airport in Moscow to three destinations around Russia, with an opening special of 500 rubles a flight ($19).
A quick note: if you'd rather work for SkyExpress than just fly with them, there's an opening:
We are looking for: Girls and young men from 18 years with a pleasant appearance, growth 165 - 175 cm.
If you think your appearance is pleasant enough, get in contact with SkyExpress.
SFO*MEDIA, the mysterious and geographically confused outfit that publishes HotelChatter and Jaunted, is looking for some help. Pay is minimal for all of these "openings." Budget-wise, you should be thinking Motel 6 with a Triple AAA discount.
However, your name will be in ASCII lights, you will be a blogging star, and someday you might have your profile in a magazine featuring overexposed bloggers. It is the new new Olympic dream.
If the above does not make you physically ill, see what we are lookin' for, after the jump...
