Booth babes at gaming conventions/expo's was always a bad idea IMO. I mean there are many gamers that have never had any serious contact with a female and will feel very shy/awkward/uncomfortable standing next to one. For me they spoil the whole experience of standing in a game booth. When I'm standing in the Gears of War booth I want to look at the demos and posters etc, not some half naked woman that I have no interest in. I mean I don't mind a half naked chick with a nice ass and a pair of D's (no disrespect meant) at a party ( or even at my house for that matter haha) but at gaming conventions...no thanks, no thanks. Just my (maybe stupid) opinion.
What is the difference then if a vendor employs a cosplayer at their stand?
For example I'm with Terminal Reality / Majesco and instead of just using a 'mercenary' I get someone that's into cosplay to pose as Rayne. The separation is then someone just dressed sexy VS someone in a sexy costume ? I would think it's part of the fun to have characters in your game at your stand, would you not ?
I'm trying to understand the line that's been drawn here which seems a bit confusing (random 4):
1) Magazine cover model
2) Someone on the beach
3) Booth babe
4) Cosplay person
Now if all four are cladly dressed, isn't it the same thing even though 1,2 and 4 are doing it because they love/want to? There's quite a few cosplays that would make me want to sleep with them the same way that just booth babes would, same with mag covers or people at the beach.
Just curious![]()

Is it really sexist if the girls wanna do that stuff and get paid for it?? Especially since they're taking part in our gaming event and can probably enjoy themselves if any of them do have the gamer in them.![]()

Lets get one thing straight...

The problem comes in when they are there simply as a cheap marketing gimmick, which boothbabes are. They're employed simply because their employers think having half-naked girls standing around helps them promote their product.
When employing boothbabes, the key lies in the presentation. Are they scantily clad to fit the theme of the booth, or are they scantily clad because 'sex sells?'
