Are Booth Babes Going Away? (Video)

Posted by Roblimo on from the it's-a-man's-man's-man's-man's-world dept.

Michael Steinhart, Editor in Chief of The Enterprise Cloud Site, went to this year's New York Cloud Expo, and saw only one booth with beguiling, scantily-dressed females trying to attract people to their employers' display. But Michael says one booth with babes was one more than last year, when the same show had no booth babes at all. So we wondered: Are booth babes going away? And if they are, is it because of political consciousness or tight budgets? Since Michael has put more time than we have into thinking about these questions, we fired up our webcam and had a little conversation with him about the future of booth babes at IT conferences and trade shows.

    The marketing droids never know any more then the hotties. I fact, because the marketing droids lie and the booth babes just smile, the booth babes are better sources for true information.

    As a geek, I've always associated properly placed priorities with hotness. Beauty pagent contestants? Not hot at all. Jeri Ellsworth, Amy Mainzer, or Bettany Hughes, now that's hot.
