It seems like sexy is selling very well in the gaming world, but that the "PC Police" running E3 are terrified of the opinions of the few over what most people think. E3 2015 was really really dull compared to previous years and the energy level on Day 1 was about 25% as high as it was in previous years. There was far less action from booth to booth and not having 'Booth Babes' was to blame for this. That was what the models I know were saying and that was what the gamers were saying.
So if it's great for the 100-200 models and presenters that did not get jobs this year, and it's way more fun for E3 event goers, why are we ladies who want to be there being intentionally kept out?
It's truly sad all the way around. Not to mention the fact that many girls I worked with in previous years got follow up jobs from people they met at E3. Now those connections can't be made. That's how I got into segment producing for a network. Now all those opportunities have been taken away by people pretending they are helping us.
I hope E3 goes back to being fun in 2016, but I don't expect it to since so many companies lack the guts to hire us models anymore.
@GalvatronType_R - those are the facts from a once fully employed 'Booth Babe'. We made good money, made great contacts, had loads of fun, and many of us actually are gamers who really want to be there helping to promote the gaming industry.
