A Day In the Life of a "Booth Babe"
jfruh writes "Booth babes," promotional models paid to showcase products, are ubiquitous figures at tech trade shows. Ever wonder what they think of their jobs? Well, it may not surprise you to learn that standing up for eight hours in heels isn't much fun. Some enjoy the work, while others don't enjoy being the subject of stares. And one model adds that 'The industry is now moving towards making models show more skin.'"
It is about how companies view women
I think it's time you quit blaming game
It's not the society that's at fault
It's not the companies
It's not the men either
Ipso Facto, women want to be beautiful, to be sexy, to be attractive, to attract the opposite sex
The cosmetic industry and the fashion industry are making BILLIONS because of this
Would you take your 15 year old daughter who happens to be interested in computers and science to one of these conventions
Why the hell not??
I mean, why should I hide the real world from my 15 year old daughter?
is it because she would be exposed to an industry that shamelessly objectifies women
I, as a man, was exposed to pornographic movies that shamelessly objectified both women and men
Did that exposure somehow ruined my outlook on life?
If my daughter is so fragile that the minute she saw scantily clothed booth babes she fainted, then I, her father, must have failed her
