    At Ninendo Revolution, you can find an article by Yvonna Lynn, which is claimed to be the truth about booth babes from an inside perspective. That's quite exaggerated because it still leaves some questions unanswered but it does give a lot of insight. Here's a snip:

    What I find funny about booth babes and “boob-age” is that frequently the girls with ample and bodacious assets are often not as high on themselves and offended as the girls wearing similar outfits, but who don't have great bodies. Whenever I heard the girls in the dressing rooms behind the sets talking about something other than their disdain for prevalent, rampant BO, I would hear all kinds of juicy gabbing. There were some girls who you would not look at twice if you saw them in the grocery store, but they were the ones on the E3 floor saying things like, "I just hate it when these guys think they can grab my ass."

    Overhearing a comment like that, even as a girl, I had to see what all the hub-bub was about. So with the proper dressing room etiquette of a nonchalant glance to her posterior, what did I see? Nothing special, that’s what! It was not round, not big, not shapely or appealing in anyway. Unless you go for the flabby, non-existent, drop straight to floor from the waist type butts. Obviously this was just another girl wishing she looked a fraction as hot as the amazingly perfect-bodied girls in the next booth.


    Erm, my comment would be that from the above it only follows that perhaps the prettier ones are more used to it and take it like something normal, whereas it's the uglier ones who make a big deal of it to feel better about themselves. That may be true, but I'm not sure I like the general vibe of it. There is a paragraph about groping later on and how it's neither welcome by the girls nor reasonable to do for guys, but I've seen some of the poses and I wouldn't like to think that girls with more attractive looks end up getting used to objectifying treatment through sheer frequency of occurence. What's your opinion?

    Read the rest at Nintendo Revolution.

    I'd say it's an attitude I see all the time at school.

    One girl was complaining about guys looking down her top all the time.

    Her: I don't understand what the fascination with my breasts is!
    Daie: Me neither.

    Needless to say, she gave me one of those 'was that an insult, or a compliment' looks, and I just kept quiet from then on.

    Anyway, it seems that the really good-looking girls around here (don't exist, but then again this is Norfolk, land of inbreeding) no, seriously, the good-looking girls are really good natured about everything, whereas the average to ugly ones are the bitchy ones with a chip on their shoulders.

    Perhaps pretty ones are quicker to believe you're being genuine. Note that prettier girls who don't realise they are pretty react the same way as uglier ones.

    Personally, if a girl doesn't allow guys to stare at just one place or take closer dives, but doesn't freak out when someone simply looks, I don't have a problem with it. I have a huge problem with hypocrites who show a lot but call you a perv for looking. :rolleyes: Doesn't happen to me even if I actually look, though. :p It's possible to look without insulting, you know, guys. :p

    Of course, I do have a problem if it goes overboard, so don't think clothes don't matter but only attitude. However, the really "sexy" stuff is not so much about what it shows but how. It's not just the amount of skin that makes clothes slutty. Whorish clothes are always bad and booth babes excell in those.
