The 'booth babes' of CES

I don't get it. Are we dating?

No, the author is just suggesting that to most effectively pitch the person/product they represent, reps need to be approachable. After all, isn't "build rapport" step one of sales? Now, whether the models are there to pitch anything in the first place is a different question.

And yet, the woman doing this complains how she is being victimized by the evil men who objectify her during their 120 seconds with her.

Doesn't read like that to me. The only one pushing any kind of agenda in the article is the author, who is not a booth babe.

The author is not embarrassed about pushing an agenda, either:

'Would she classify them as desperate nerds? She laughs a bit nervously. "I guess so."'

So we're getting the author's words coming back out of the models' mouths. This is of limited interest.

You're right and I wish I had written it to represent that more accurately.
