ONE YEAR SIX MONTHS OLD BABY KICKED OFF A PLANE BACAUSE HER NAME APPEARS ON THE TERRORIST "NO FLY" LIST


These are the times we live in believe it or not.
Parents of 18 month old Riyanna were left incredulous and humiliated when they were kicked off a Jet Blue flight at Fort Lauderdale airport in Florida on their way home to New Jersey; because their daughter's name had popped up on a 'no fly' list.

They had just boarded the aircraft when an airline employee asked them to disembark saying a representative of the Transportation Security Agency wanted to speak with them. When the toddler's mother asked why they wanted to speak with her, the employee responded "Well, it's not you or your husband. Your daughter was flagged as no fly"

After being detained for over half an hour they were cleared to go back on board without any apologies but the parents were too upset to get back on the plane.

The parents who do not wish to be identified believe they were racially profiled because they are of middle eastern descent and Riyanna's mother wears a hijab.

Jet Blue has released a statement regarding the incident which reads in part:

"We are investigating this particular incident.
We believe this was a computer glitch. Our crew members followed the appropriate protocols, and we apologize to the family involved in this unfortunate circumstance".
The parents however are not buying the story of a 'computer glitch' and are currently speaking with their lawyers.

Rimmel London Hard Rock

Bu ojeyi Chanel Graphite'in benzeri olabilir diye sürdüm ilk başta ama alakaları yok. Bir kere Hard Rock ondan daha koyu. Aslında benzeyip benzememesi çok önemli değil çünkü en favori ojelerimden biri ve size gösterebilmem için fırsat doğdu. Bilmem söylemiş miydim ama Rimmel'ın Sky High'ına bayıldığım için yedeklemiştim, bu ojeyi aldıktan sonra tekrar görebilseydim mutlaka aynı muameleyi yapardım! I picked up this nail polish yesterday while thinking this could be Chanel Graphite's dupe but Hard Rock is too dark to be a dupe. Actually that isn't important for me, Hard Rock is one of my favourite polishes and now I can show it to you. I wish I would buy one more of this but I have never seen it after I bought this one :( Harika bir sonbahar ve kış ojesi, bu renk bende tırnaklarıma gerçekten metal sürmüşüm hissi uyandırıyor, çok seviyoruum :) This is a great fall&winter colour, I feel like I applied liquid metal on my nails and love that feeling :)

H&M Winter Lookbook

Sonbahar ve kış artık yavaş yavaş geliyor, yarın da İstanbul'da yağmur yağacakmış hatta. Bu sene bir ilke imza attım, ne yazdan ne önümüzdeki sonbahardan şikayet ettim, hatta daha önceden ilkbahar gelsin diye can attım. Bilmeyenler için ara mevsimleri hiç sevmem, özellikle de sonbahar ve yağmurdan nefret ederim. Her neyse yeni koleksiyonlar beni neşelendirmeye yetti :) Bu yazı tüm sonbahar sevmeyenler için gelsiiin :D Fall and winter are coming slowly, I heard that it will be rainy tomorrow in İstanbul. This year I made a difference and didn't complain about fall - for the ones who don't know I hate rain and fall from seasons. Maybe because of the new collections :) And I send this post to people who don't like fall all around the world :D       Neyse ki karaları bağlamıyoruz, yine rengarenk giyinmeye devam edebiliriz. Kıyafetlerin kesimleri hatları ortaya çıkarmayacak şekilde. Thank God, we can still wear our colourful clothes. But they are going to hide our lines/curv...
