The only thing that sucks about the impending departure of Mary Fallin as Governor is that Christina Fallin – a.k.a Hipster Boo Boo – will no longer be "the Governor's daughter."
From the day Mary took office, Christina's attention craving antics, hilarious gaffes and general hipster pretension have provided joy, entertainment and outrage to people from Oklahoma and all across the world. Whether she was wearing a headdress, playing games with her love life, or violating Capitol Medical Center zoning codes, she's always been fun to watch and write about. She's the classic train wreck, but only if that train was carrying pink balloons, CHANEL scarves and Grimes.
It doesn't look like Christina is going to let up before the finish line either. Earlier this year, we reported that she is pregnant, and naturally, the baby's daddy's family is being linked to wacko (and probably racist) OKC bombing conspiracy theories. Also, KOKH reported last night that Christina and other members of the Fallin family occasionally enjoyed the perks of flying in the state plane.
Via KOKH:
The state of Oklahoma has a special aircraft that is reserved for use by the governor and records obtained by FOX 25 show that the governor’s family sometimes travels on the plane even if she is not on board.
FOX 25 requested records from the governor’s office in the summer of 2015 about her staff’s interaction with some of the Fallin family members in response to a tip we received. It took two-and-a-half years for the office to respond. When it did the governor’s office provided more than 8,000 pages, many of them duplicates, about the interactions between the governor’s staff and the first family.
After reviewing the emails, FOX 25 found references to use of the state’s aircraft to take family members to Grand Lake where Fallin has another home. In one email from 2013 a state trooper asks if “the "lake" is confirmed for Friday” when talking about the upcoming flight.
Another staff member confirms that the state's King Air 350 airplane will be dropping the governor off at her lake house in Northeastern Oklahoma on her way back from an out-of-state trip. The emails indicate the governor’s daughter, accompanied by one staff member, would be ferried back to the city on the private plane.
