An AirAsia official said Branson would be required to wear makeup and high-heels, along with the regulation red stewardess outfit, and would have to perform regular duties -- including cleaning the toilets -- during the flight.

The people who are hating on him for this are going to be hating it even more when it turns out that he's fantastic - pretty much like he is in just about everything else.

It's the best free PR deal I've seen in a long time.  And sure he'll do it up right, he's all about PR.  Standing between him and a camera has always been very dangerous.
