I'm so hot I fork out $13k for first class flights because creeps in coach won't stop gawking at me
They need to coach cash-strapped flyers to stop staring.
A Brazilian model and influencer claims she shells out over $13,000 for first flights because she's ogled by alleged creeps in coach.
'In economy, harassment comes as a bonus,' Ju Isen told Jam Press while explaining the rationale behind her expensive decision. 'I'd rather pay more and protect myself.'
The bombshell makes a living from her gorgeous appearance, regularly sharing scintillating body shots for her 2.5 million followers on Instagram.
Unfortunately, Isen's so-called sweltering countenance has earned her unwanted attention offline, such as when she's traveling.
In fact, Isen feels her attractiveness has reached a point where she can no longer afford to slum it in steerage due to the hordes of leerers.
In accordance, the content creator said she'd 'rather pay a lot and travel in peace [in first class],' where she can avoid 'being hit on by strangers during flights.'
This sky segregation might seem discriminatory, but the influencer insists she's speaking from prior experiences in cattle class.
'I've had men try to chat me up while I was half-asleep, ask if I was single or offer to buy me a drink mid-air,' lamented Insen. 'And after repeated experiences like these, I have now opted for private cabins where I can travel without interruptions.'
She added: 'First class is the only space where no one tries to invade my personal bubble with small talk or creepy stares.'
The Instagrammer said the exorbitant price tag is worth not getting peeped on by the mile-high hoi polloi.
'People love to criticize the price I pay but never question why I feel the need to pay it,' declared Isen. 'That kind of freedom is worth every penny.'
Flying up front isn't the only way that the Brazilian keeps potential cat callers at bay. Isen has also copped to sporting a fake engagement ring at events and airports to ward off unwanted advances from male suitors.
'I was tired of the constant approaches – it was nonstop, even when I clearly wasn't interested,' said Isen. 'So I put on a simple ring on my left hand, and it was like hitting a mute button.'
She added: 'It has worked for years. It is just visible enough to keep people from coming up to me.'

Tears As Shelter's Longest Resident Dog Watches the Puppies Being Adopted
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. An Instagram reel from the Humane Society of Broward County has left viewers heartbroken as a dog sadly looked on to other puppies getting adopted. In the video, the adult shelter dog named Pretzel watches another dog get adopted while she remains overlooked. Since the video was posted, it has received 16,000 likes and dozens of pleas from Floridians to adopt the dog. "It's just not fair," the Humane Society captioned the reel. "Beautiful girl Pretzel has been waiting for a forever home for almost three months and is officially our shelter's longest resident. Sadly, this is the reality for many adult dogs. While the puppies get adopted quickly, our wonderful adult dogs can wait months to find a family." Stock photo: A dog in a kennel looks outside. Stock photo: A dog in a kennel looks a 3-year-old mother dog, carries a particularly sad past. She was "given up" after raising her puppies for her owner, the caption stated. Described as "gentle [and] a little shy at first," Pretzel is "still trying to understand that people can be kind." Once she feels safe, though, they added that her "true personality shines," and she is playful and affectionate. Her favorite things? Belly rubs, treats, water and taking long sprints outside. "[She] just wants to be part of a family again," the Humane Society concluded. "Pretzel is ready to start over. She's ready for a home where she can feel safe, loved and never left behind again." How Did Viewers React? The sight of Pretzel watching younger, more easily adopted dogs struck a chord with Instagram users. Many expressed overwhelming sadness for overlooked adult dogs compared to puppies in shelters. "I'm so insanely thankful for the workers and volunteers at shelters, because it must wreck their hearts to see these angels everyday getting passed over," one person wrote. Another, dreaming of a grand rescue, shared, "My goal is to buy a house in the ranches so I can adopt them all." One comment highlighted Pretzel's past as a mother. "This broke my heart cause you see she's had litters of puppies, and she must feel so used," the commenter wrote. "Being somewhere where it's a constant reminder of your mistreatment is so heart breaking. Probably has trauma seeing puppies carried away from her as well." The plight of adult dogs like Pretzel is a common challenge in shelters. While puppies often find homes quickly, adult dogs, despite often being house-trained and having established personalities, tend to wait longer. As one commenter pointed out, Pretzel is the "perfect age." "Puppies are a lot of work," they wrote. "Don't get me are worth it, but not everyone has the time or patience to train a puppy. We adopted an adult dog years ago, and she was the most amazing dog. Please someone give this beautiful dog a chance!" Despite the widespread emotional outpouring and expressions of interest on the initial post, there has been no update on Pretzel's adoption status.

From Braids to Bows, These Dads Love Doing Their Daughters' Hair
Strider Patton says there's one moment that makes all the hours of perfecting braids and bows and high ponies worth it. "Someone leans down to my daughter and says, 'Wow, your hair looks great today! Did your mommy do it?'" Patton, who teaches fathers how to style kids' hair on his popular @ Instagram account, tells His daughter Imogen was 2 years old at the time. "She turns around and points at me. She says, 'Dad braids.' And I was like, 'Yes! That's it!'" In the three years since that moment, Patton's hair styling skills have improved dramatically. Now he can do lace braids, bubble braids and even a double French high pony. And he has brought almost 250,000 followers on Instagram along for the ride. Patton is one of the many fathers who are taking on hairstyling duties and loving every brushstroke. The growing number of dads who do their daughters' hair with pride speaks to a change in the way fathers view their roles in the family, he says. He doesn't aim for perfection. He aims for presence. "It doesn't matter how bad your hair (styling) is," Patton says. "Your daughter's just going to love that you're there with her." When he was first struggling with his Imogen's hair, Patton searched for hair tutorials online but most featured moms doing their daughters' hair. They sailed too quickly through the basic steps that Patton still needed to learn. So Patton started an Instagram account for dads who didn't know where to begin. He set up a camera and shared videos of him doing Imogen's hair every morning. As a professional artist, he had a more flexible schedule than his wife, who owns a children's theater. "It's just so fun to not be an expert and just be like, 'Hey, I'm just a dad trying to learn how to do this, just like you guys.'" Patton certainly isn't alone on his journey. chatted with several dads who have surpassed their wives' hairstyling skills. And they're not just tooting their own horn — their wives volunteered them for interviews. Shounak Shah, who says his daughter Arya is "6 going on 15," shares that if he lets Arya choose a parent to style her hair, "she would pick me, 100 percent." He jokes, "Mommy is not the styling type." Shah, a physical therapist, will call out to Arya, "It's salon time!" and she sits at a little desk and watches a show while Shah adds product and styles her hair. Dad Jon Studham plays 'Baby Alive' for his 5-year-old while he styles her hair every morning. "I was terrible at first, but she didn't care," he says. "It isn't about getting every strand in place. It's about showing up, being part of her rhythm, building the moments in life that matter and showing she can count on me." He continues, 'One day, she won't need or want me to do her hair. But until then, I'll be there — with a brush, a bow, and all the time she needs.' "I love finding ways to bond with my kids in so many different ways, and doing hair was just one of those creative outlets," says Scott Wormser, who heads up the marketing department at a print shop. He is so adept at doing his 10-year-old daughter Marni's hair that he's even in charge of her styles for dance competitions, which are often difficult and specific ... and must stay intact throughout an energetic routine. "My wife would always try to do a braid on my daughter's hair, and she just wouldn't get it as tight as I could." Wormser laughs, "And I definitely have much more patience than my wife." Patton points out that the sheer number of dads who have taken on hair duty suggests a change in our outlook on modern fatherhood. "For quarter of a million dads out there, it's saying that I care enough to try something new," he says. "It's hard, but it's fun, and it means something. And it gives me a moment, every day, with my girl." Patton sums it up by adding, "At the heart of this, it's really simple: dads want to connect with their daughters, but a lot of us don't always know how. We're better with tools than tea parties, better with our hands than with our feelings. Learning to braid brings those two worlds together." This article was originally published on
