Like a bad case of indigestion, hopefully this fad has passed, but in March Gadling’s Heather Poole uncovered what she called the “hottest trend on the airplane since the mile high club“: airplane passengers taking self-portraits in the lavatories.
On a subsequent post Heather Poole referred to these photographers as members of the “laviators club” and posted a second slideshow of this emerging sub-genre of the self-portrait.
But is it a trend? Or is it just bored airplane passengers looking for entertainment having already finished reading the in-flight catalog and the duty free magazine?
For those of you who have absolutely no idea what this is LAVIATORS all about, read Heather's Galley Gossip post, the hottest trend on the airplane since the mile high club, as well as what MSNBC recently wrote, The New Mile High Club is "G" Rated . And then, next time you fly, don't forget to pack a camera in a carry-on bag and whatever you do, don't be afraid to get creative! Need a few photography tips before you slide the camera into the pocket and make a move to the lav?
