BOOM!

Did you get to the Jan 2012 show?

Me Too....I took pic..... chap is driver of the racing 993

Indeed - Thursday again for this year. I'll post some over the weekend, but here is a sample:

They weren't models, they were his bodyguards.

Girls of the show for me!! They stayed at the same hotel as us Friday and were really nice girls!! Hope the brunettes car is still fixed!!

And some from me

Jebus, some of those girls are seriously rough. Do guys actually go for that? Never mind the dodgy boobs, smiles, hair, eyelashes or the clothing. I just don't get it. Is it the illusion of availability?

NO....The Models are there to promote the products on the stands, so in general they are very friendly and most of the time always smiling, its a feel good thing, what's wrong with having a friendly chat and a photo taken, I enjoyed the day, and I'm sure the girls enjoy all the photos As for some of the make up the girls wear, yes it is sometimes spread on a bit thick but due to lighting at the show it helps with more distance photos.

<sigh> and so it begins - please start your own thread for this sort of thing, this one is ideally for pictures and not for slagging people off in their absence. Though we all obviously look forward to a picture of yourself for critique [the traditional Pistonheads tin of custard included, naturally].

To answer your question - purely on the grounds of aesthetics I personally am not a particular fan of synthetic breasts, excessive makeup, jailbait or 'attitude', but plenty out there would disagree with me and I am happy to shoot anyone who agrees to pose (not all wish to, which is fine and obviously not an issue that I get with the cars and engineering exhibits). I have no issue with the shrink wrap attire on anybody who has the figure for it (which most, but not all of the promotions girls in catsuits do). Though my note for exhibitors is that the mainstream motor shows often opt to put their models in something more like a cocktail dress and for me that works better than lycra (always some, but rarely more than a handful at the Autosport. GM and Alfa Romeo at the last London Motor Show which IIRC was back in 2008... very nice). In general terms though, my opinion is always inclined towards the ones who are the nicest to chat to, and they are often not the ones who come out best in the pictures. Though equally, sometimes they certainly are and other women probably hate them for it.

Illusion of availability? Erm - no. Practically none of them tend to be single and it is not an environment where any rational person is going to fancy their chances on the pull, even those who aren't as middle aged as most photographers. I guess that there are going to be irrational people at the show though, so their are probably cases compatible with your theory...

Hope this clears things up - can we get back to pictures now?

HOT!
