Social media influencer and CEO of the clothing brand Sparkl Fairy Couture, Gabi “G Sparkl Iwalani Hall, choose the slopes of Big Bear Mountain in Southern California where she caught the attention of a mountain opperations worker passing by on snowmobile before catching a heelside edge and ended up on her bare backside.
Gabi’s on hill photoshoot caught the attention of the Jerry of Bear Mountain Instagram account where she responded with “fairys just wanna have fun to you guys” and the response was mixed with reactions ranging from respect for her hustle promoting her brand to online vitriol labeling her a poser. One person who came out in support of the cheeky stunt is Olympic snowboarder Jenise Spiteri who commented “low key if I was in good enough shape I’d do it.”
Whatever you make of a self identified “Iridescent Fairy Queen” taking bikini laps down the mountain on her snowboard to promote frilly, skiing in minimal clothing is a time honored tradition and is will actually earn you points in Gaffney’s Numerical Assessment of Radness (GNAR). Jerry Seinfeld had this insight on the subject:
“I heard a weatherman say that 75% of your body heat is actually lost through the top of the top of the head. Which sounds like you could go skiing naked if you got a good hat.”
