But if you're smart, you know that it PROBABLY won't happen. Especially if you're in a comic-con. Most of the cute girls there usually already have boyfriends (I heard enough stories from friends to confirm that -_-")
Yeah, I get the concept of booth babes. I just wondered if she was advertising something specific, like a particular game. It just looks like she's dressed in some kind of costume, rather than generic slut-gear.
Doesn't this only apply to America? I've yet to go to a gaming/comic/nerd convention where we've ever had booth babes...
Granted booth babes are pointless but it doesn't stop heads turning.
I've been to some small town anime conventions and one big gaming convention here. None of the anime conventions had booth babes (a few slutty-dressed girls filled the place, though) and the gaming convention had a few booth babes. But most booths had serious personal (you know, like, dressed in a normal uniform and ready to answer your questions) to show you their games and products. And people were more interested in knowing about the games themselves. And getting Yoshinori Ono's autograph.
Those events are cool, with or without booth babes. My only complaint is that they're always too overcrowded. In this gaming convention I've been, I got lost from my friends quite a couple times, and it always took me quite a while to find any of them.
