Booth Babes Stand Up for Their Constitutional Right to Be Exploited
From ZDNet:
LOS ANGELES–If you came to E3 this year worried that the so-called “booth babes” wouldn’t be here strutting their stuff, you already know you had nothing to fear. That’s because, while the scantily clad women may be a tad less scantily clad at E3 2006 than in years past, they’re still very much in evidence, and they’re still showing a lot of skin.
In January, the Entertainment Software Association, which runs E3, caused a stir in the video game world by announcing that it would no longer tolerate the barely covered women–hired by game publishers to attract men to their E3 booths–unless they put on more clothes…
To some of the women at the center of the controversy, the ESA’s policy may well be much ado about nothing.
“I just think it’s silly,” said Lana Kinnear, a fourth-year E3 model working this time around for Sapphire Technology. “All the body parts were covered. People wear less at the beach.”
You tell ‘em, Lana. Prudes.

I’m just amazed show organizers were able to find five models that all had matching red hair and white strapless dresses.
You generally don’t see that every day.
