A comment on CES will allow sex tech on a one-year trial basis, and finally bans booth babes.

"Banning booth babes" is 100% inaccurate -- they banned body-hugging or suggestive clothing.

Besides, it's not possible to ban "booth babes" -- how can you tell if it's a paid model or just an attractive company employee? And if they banned paid models the companies would just hire them.

Banning suggestive clothing? I mean, OK, congrats, I guess. Not sure how much of a difference that will make. A model is still a model, even in a pantsuit.

> they banned body-hugging or suggestive clothing.

Suggestive by whose standards? I wonder if the CES dress code will end up being more conservative than that of a university campus or even your average tech company.

EDIT: the TechCrunch article quotes CES policy:

> Booth personnel may not wear clothing that is sexually revealing or that could be interpreted as undergarments. Clothing that reveals an excess of bare skin, or body-conforming clothing that hugs genitalia must not be worn.

This is less draconian than "body-hugging or suggestive clothing" led me to believe.
