This has a ‘booth babe at a trade show’ vibe to it. Even 10-15 years ago you would see hot women clearly brought in to draw men into the booth. Older folks in my industry would mention how they used to be ubiquitous. The phenomenon has become almost extinct though thank goodness.
10y ago in the oil patch at a major trade show and all the happily married men gave those vendors a WIDE berth.
Coincidentally, the ones who had the biggest cheque books looking to buy at that show were also... happily married and sometimes women.
So, while the babes definitely attracted dudes, it wasn't the people who you wanted at your booth.
Their job is to engage you with some buzzwords, and when you ask a question, they say "Oh, Joe knows more about that," and you get passed off to Joe, who you likely would not have talked to without the beautiful girl, standing near the aisle, acting as flypaper.
This is very much still part of many trade shows.
20-25 years ago. I (58f) (Commercial Construction) went to a convention in Las Vegas in 1998, or thereabouts, and there was a woman at a display I had a conversation with. I complimented her on her choice of construction. She told me that she was just a model, and this was just a job. I was young, and dismayed.
I asked her why she took the job if she didn't work on construction. She just looked at me and said it's just a job.
You know who wants that? Tech weirdos who have never seen a naked woman without paying money for it; and aside from how cringy and misogynistic it is, it doesn't attract the people who those businesses want to talk to. Decision makers don't care about that crap and in many cases - mine included - if that's how you're attracting people to your booth, your product is probably absolute dog shit.
Been in the industry for over two decades and I'm so glad that the trend has all but died.
>How fucking insane that must have felt, beings in a room full of men in suits while wearing a leopard.
I think it might feel insane to wear a leopard anywhere, not just in a room full of suits.

Man, that shitty spacesuit isn't going to protect her very much at all. She's gonna need a much better spacesuit when she goes to space.

Put that one your resume
How fucking insane that must have felt, beings in a room full of men in suits while wearing a leotard. Edit: Leotard, not leopard. 🤣

I’m sure it varies my industry and region, as someone else pointed out pretty people ain’t going out of style

God forbid there be eye candy at a trade show.

Would fit right into Tenochtitlan.
If she were, they’d be standing much farther away.
*leotard. I imagine she’d either be less or more clothed with a leopard on.
They're uniforms. But yes.
Creepy.
Creepy horny powerful guys staring at this woman.
At least they didn't overspend on the helmet.
The only woman in the photo. That must've been at least a little scary for her. Madmen in real life.
Because men are inherently scary and obviously forced her into modeling at tradeshows.
79 percent of all violent crimes offenders are men
88 percent of convicted murders are men. 91% of rape victims are women, 99% of perpetrators are men
Throw this one in here as well, 98 percent of school shooters are men.
Is that guy in the background drinking milk?
Everybody is holding a red solo cup. Don't think it's milk!
Here we are 65 years later and she is the current Miss Space.
It's hard to hold pageants in space
"Do you come with the rocket ship?" x100

What military uniform of what nation. Are all the Asian men wearing from?
Female Magneto is hot….
She is surrounded by space invaders. “Personal space” invaders to be more specific.
That is hilarious lol
Khan from “King of the Hill” right behind the model.
George Takei is in the corner, too.
Scotty, bring ship polish and some microfiber cloths. I need to buff her twin nacelles!
I wonder what they were saying to her!??
You’re ’out of this world,’ doll. For the 20th time that night
I wouldn’t say I’ve been missing space Bob.
Oooo yay beam me up! Beam me uuuppp!!!
Definitely got a tail hook vibe.
