Trade Show Hotties...

Only things I like about trade shows are the hot models some companies hire and the free cheap toys they give away. I rarely if ever get anything worthwhile out of a trade show.

Here are a few examples of some hotties. Anyone got more?

Aww, they're just giving you extra attention because they know you're a "lubrication specialist".

I believe the term is "booth babes." NAMM has some interesting ones every year. Many of them scare me though...not my cup of tea.

I'm an old guy and an engineer by profession. I can't tell you how many boring trade shows I have been at. They have gotten worse over the years as political correctness and sexual equality reduced displays and models to white bread.

The rules don't apply to the DUB shows. I went to the 06 show and I have never seen so many big busted, high heeled, short outfits on so many models and women visitors in my life. I was walking down an aisle when I saw a young man taking a picture of his girl friend sprawled on the hood on a 59 Impala. I couldn't believe what I was seeing and tried to take a picture of her but my hands were shaking and I didn't want the crowd to think I was some dirty old man. The pic can out fuzzy.

These models will pose with you any way you want. You want them sitting on your lap - no problem. Want a pic with 2 girls sandwiched between you, how many pics do you want. It was unbelievable. Could not wait to go in 07 and I'll go again in 08. There were some nice looking cars there too.

At Assembytech, some of the babes are for hire after the show as well. Sometimes you would see them at hospitality suites. Basically call girls is all.

When I was at GE we were just ending our involvement with having Playmates in our booth. Thats called poor timing.

I worked for a big Software company and everytime we went to the COMDEX the girls would hang out with us after.. It was awesome cause they would invite her friends from the other booths...
They all know each other and if you make a bad move on one of them they'll pass the word, but if you treat them right they're awesome!
I felt bad those girls in high heals had to be on their feet all day but as they said that's their job...

Whatever floats your boat, but personally I'd be worried about permanently losing about 40 IQ points just from being within 20 feet of anything with "DUB" on it. It seems to have that effect on people.
