My wife wants to come with me to NAB to hang out in the evenings and is interested in being a booth model (NOT the girls who try to give you crap as you walk by but the girls who sit in the camera pits) during the day to both have something better to do and to help pay for the trip, but isn't sure how to go about getting that. Has anyone's wife/girlfriend ever done that and could tell me what the process is like?

She's petite (5'2" 95lbs)

Convention and trade shows get their models from their available employees or
use of local modeling agencies.

Must be one of the few niches available in the world of local modeling agencies.
Not very glamorous but then what work is ?

Except I talked to a fellow reduser two NAB's ago who's wife was working in one of the booths, and she was not from Las Vegas, hence why i asked

It would be very interesting story for a feature and I would like to make a film about it.

But something more serious in a way of a screenplay feeling from Charlie Kaufman,

Robert Altman or even better from my European tradition like a Federico Fellini, Lina Wertmüller, etc, ...

Shawn, I gotta say that while your intentions are pure, others' may not be. Posting a photo of your wife with her name and description on a public forum could lead to issues down the road. No knowing who may be reading.

BTW, before you ask, Abel isn't using any booth models this year.

Hey Mitch,
Thanks for the advice, though honestly I'm naive about what you're saying. She's a model and actress locally so her name and photograph are already easily accessed online, though I'm not sure what nefarious things visitors of Reduser could do.

I guess I pay for her to sit by the pool again this year, lol

I was under the impression anyone in the RED Booth was a RED employee- and are they even doing a booth at NAB this year? Last year it was a whole sideshow at another location, no booth. I'm guessing it will be the same this year. If your wife wants to come along- don't make her work. It's Vegas- there's fun stuff to do and it's a business trip so you can make it all a tax write-off- no?

Noah... Yes, it will be at the Tropicana on the 14th this year. And, no. RED will not have a booth at NAB this year.
