The Five Types of Computex Booth Babes
Nothing Says Hot Like Babes Wearing Shiny Plastic
The use of booth babes (or show girls as they’re call in Asia) in a trade show is nothing new. After all, one of the best way to dress up a booth is by having it manned by a bunch of hot women. However, Computex uses booth babes for more than just decoration. Unlike other trade shows, where the girls just stand around and look good, the babes are Computex can be divided into five unique working groups.
The Eye Candies
The eye candy group is the booth babe group that we are all use to. They stand around their booths in shiny plastic clothing, next to the products the company wants to promote. Most of the time, these girls are passing out product spec sheets or bags. Sometime they’ll be asked to pose for pics while holding over sized markups of company products.
The Product Demo Babes
The demo group are generally the highest paid babes because they have to be more than just eye candy. They have to go on stage and do product demonstrations and presentations. I believe Jane May would qualify for this group. The demo babes are normally accompanied on stage by the normal booth babes, whose job would be to hand out prizes that they always give away at these events.
The Roaming Floor Babes
The third group of Computex show girls are the roaming floor babes. Unlike North American trade shows, where booth babes must stay at their booth, Computex allows the girls to roam around the convention center to get people to come to their booth. They walk the floor in groups carrying signs that reads “Welcome to visit us at booth XXX”. Often, these roaming girls are used to upstage a competing company’s product demo.
Roaming Demo Babes
These girls travel to different booths to do product demos for partnered companies. For example, the VIA girls above visit all the booths of the motherboard makers that use the VIA chipset to do their presentation and hand out prizes. Because companies like VIA, Intel, NVIDIA and AMD offers roaming booth babe services, some partnered companies won’t hire girls for their own booths.
The Dancing Booth Babe
The last group of booth babes are the dancing booth babes. These girls bust a move in order to stop show goers in their tracks. After they complete their dance, the demo babe takes over.

Reply to this commentHmmm…what if a woman wins and she doesn’t happen to swing that way?
Reply to this commentI don’t see that happening till about the time you get him to test that iBod thing.
Reply to this commentI would save that. The plastic might stick too much. I hate that squeaking sound. . . .

Reply to this commentNow that would get some traffic. Toss that on here and it would go viral in minutes!
Reply to this commentNothing says it more like booth babes dancing to Britney Spears.
Reply to this commentClearly, the woman with shorter hair dances better than the other one. The former does know how to shake what her momma gave her!

Reply to this commentlooks similar, but i don’t think they afford to pay her to be just a booth babe. but it’d be so nice if it was really her
Reply to this commentNo it’s not her but she was a very good demo babe.
Reply to this commentshe looks like my microbiology teacher…
Reply to this commentI bet she inspired you to study really hard, didn’t she.

Reply to this commentThat wasn’t cool?
Reply to this commentDoes your wife care if you look at them?
Reply to this commentI guess “look but don’t touch” works for them, Alex.
Reply to this commentWow,pretty girls,my choice is the Roaming Demo Babes!
Reply to this commentWhat is the ROI on a “Booth Babe”?
Michael
Reply to this commentNow that’s a really good question. It’s all fun and games, but at the end of the day, the “babes” go home and all you’re left with is the leads/sales
Reply to this commentBang on. You might get more eyes to your area but there has to be a strategy in place once their looking.
Reply to this commentRoaming Demo Babes are the best!
roaming floor is not that bad either! good marketing lol
Reply to this commentWish the AMD processors move as fast as the babes did
Reply to this commentpretty girls mm mm mmm
Reply to this commentwow! sexy girls on the road
john, you can choose which one of them.
Reply to this commentFor next time, I suggest investing in a wide-angle lens.
Reply to this commentAnd zoom!
Reply to this commentI think John uses it for special occasions — like spying on that girl (was that in Montreal?) with a tattoo on her lower back. That camera had a lot of zooming power alright.
Reply to this commentThey seem less intimidating then North American booth girls.
Reply to this commentI was just at EMC World conference and there was one company that had a knockout booth babe and you can guess which booth had the largest crowd each and every day.
It was pretty funny to see the crowd of geeky guys hanging around this booth just watching as she moved through the crowd scanning badges.
Reply to this commentMr. Chow, I come back from a two month absence and what do I find? You reveling with booth babes.
Indeed, some things never change.
=^..^=
Reply to this commentDoes your wife like it that you take pics of them???
Reply to this commentHe said earlier in the post that the wife actually took the pictures :b
Reply to this commentDancing booth babes… just goes to show that in asia… no one can dance hip hop
Reply to this commentNo offense but you have no idea what you are talking about.
Reply to this commentMight be because they were sponsored by/running on AMD. Intel Inside, Idiot Outside.
Reply to this commentThat Nicole lady from the Pussycat Dolls is part Asian…so was the girl who won the Next Pussycat Doll contest. The dancing girls at the show could’ve used a little bit more practice though, sure.
Reply to this commenthuh?? they’re BOOTH babes. true hip hop dancers don’t really attend such events. why do you think they will work at one lol.
Reply to this commentThey should teach these girls to dance better.
Reply to this commentWasn’t there any hot girls who didnt actually work? Who just attended like a regular..
That’s the fifth kind.
Reply to this commentI was waiting for the babes since Day One
Reply to this commentOut of curiousity…
Booth babes aside, was your time at Computex productive?
Reply to this commentYep! I met all the people I wanted to meet.
Reply to this commentThat music was awful… I guess it had something to do with the recording!
Yuck.
Reply to this commentKenneth
BTW, I can’t believe how some people manage to get 67 or 85 comments! I struggle to find enough to …
Reply to this commentNow I know why AMD is cool!
Reply to this commentThey need to add a 6th class of stripping booth babes. That would make people excited to go to one of these shows.
Reply to this commentYou’re trying to make me buy you more beer aren’t you?
Reply to this commentwow, these girls are all around, i bet John is having a great time checking them out
Reply to this commentwho wouldn’t?
Reply to this commentJane May for demo babes

Reply to this commentThe dancing babes actually scare me a little, so I’ll take the eye candies.
I’ve never been to a trade show, but I’m getting tickets right now. They do mud wrestle, right?
Reply to this commenthaha reminds me of e3.. too bad they’re banned there.
Reply to this commentThis is yet another example of the selling power of sex.
