WHO IS ROBERTA AITCHISON?

EX Meter Maid who strutted around Surfers Paradise feeding parking meters to save visitors from fines. Later trademarked the brand and continues to operate the service today, more than 50 years after it started. Expanded into merchandise sales of calendars, keyrings and beer stubby holders. Not known for taking a backward step when under pressure from officialdom about the role of Meter Maids in the city nowadays. Infamously posed for Penthouse in 1990 and was the covergirl in a golden swimsuit. Threatened Commonwealth Games bosses with a lawsuit if they infringed her trademark in the opening ceremony.
