TGS 08: Booth babes galore

TGS 08: Booth babes galore photo
     Tokyo Game Show

The booth babes here this year at TGS 2008 are decidedly less fun and frisky then they were last year. For the first day, they were quite lively and fun, as they're hired to be. I've noticed that a couple of days later you begin to see this underlying aggravation and sadness in their faces, probably from the crowds and pictures and foreign guys asking for phone numbers. Of course, when it's photo time, they always snap back to their act, slapping on a smile and sticking out their hip. Or playing Twister with random press members.

One fun thing to do is look over the shoulders of the guys with the big cameras and see what their viewfinder is showing. Let's just say I saw plenty of faceless pictures, and probably too many close up shots.

Nice pics!

We need to get booth babes back here. I really wish that the idiotic Puritans here in the States would just STFU about booth babes. They're no more exploited than women who work at Hooters or the hot cheerleaders that we see at any football game. Oh, and booth babes happen to do what they do voluntarily.

Sex sells. Let it!!

I like some good old fashioned booth babe action just as much as the next guy, but it is kind of sad to see some of them prostituting themselves and looking so, understandably, miserable. The women seem considerably less "okay with it" in Japan, than they do in the States.

See, this could work as a "Stay in School" ad for those girls who think they're hot and can make it as models.

poor girls... come to think of it, anyone who is in need for work would do it without second thought. They are used indeed.
Anyway, at least they are not victims of Trafficing and they actually get payed. Hope the best for them and yes we loooooove booth babes!

DTOID needs a better image viewer. I desperately want to view all those images but it takes too long and I am lazy.
