I don't see a problem with booth babes myself, though I've never been to a show (I did do a Comdex a long time ago). Years ago I would go to all the Detroit Auto Shows at Cobo Hall to take pics of all the booth babes the cars. I was able to get a bunch of models for nada that way. Most of them sure took to the camera when I explained that I was an aspiring photographer trying to put a portfolio together many of them would model for me on the side free of charge since many of them were aspiring models so I'd give them my shots as a gratuity or was that something else that was a gratuity? ;-) --+-- Wayne D.

Materials, including live models, conduct that is sexually explicit or sexually provocative, including, but not limited to, nudity, partial-nudity and bathing suit bottoms, are prohibited on the Show floor, all common areas and at any access points to the Show. ESA, in its sole discretion, will determine whether material is acceptable. Since when are bathing suit bottoms sexually explicit or provocative? What constitutes partial nudity? Where does a bare midriff fall? This sounds kinda like obscenity is whatever gives a judge an erection. Julian At 01:58 AM 1/25/2006, Al wrote: http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=29238 BO HISSS Al
