Booth-babe Bashers Beware!

Firstly I would like to say alliteration is like the fine art of puns: highly unappreciated and unduly mocked.

Secondly, read the stage 2 blog. As blasphemous as this might sound to we Stage 3's, they'll probably come up with some ideas we have no idea about.

Thirdly, don't bash the booth-babes. Its honest work and according to this artickle here (amusing typo), they actually like the work! Though perhaps they're not as immersed in the actual cultural context surrounding it as the hot geek girl in the Angewoman costume. Dare to dream.

There are always two sides to any argument, despite how we write our essays. Yes, they might be seen as objectifying women and raising the future expectations of many an acne-d nerd, but before you jump on the feminist bandwagon, ask yourself: Are they objectified by the work they do? Or are we the ones that objectify them? Booth-babes are people too.

Dare to ask them what they think. Read the article.
