So how does one go about "hiring" a "booth babe"
Or at least what is the proper term? Idle model?

>> No.6619707

Find a hooker, offer her money to put on a silly costume and stand at your booth.

>> No.6619708

The same way you hire models, through agencies or their agent if you're looking for a specific model.

>> No.6619711

Anywhere, honestly. Craigslist would be the easiest, but basically you go where the models are. You'll find pros and you'll find newbies who are only to happy to have their first shot at professional modeling. Also check Model Mayhem.

>> No.6619729

make sure you get someone that's great at cosplaying. and lovely.

>> No.6619732

If you need a booth babe to sell you're shit, then you're selling shit.

I personally ignore the booth babes.

Having a half naked skank isn't going to make your product worth buying.

>> No.6619756

>>6619732
this thread isn't about you. you may ignore them but they definitely draw attention and possible sales to booths.

>> No.6619807

>>6619756
I'm agreeing with anon. I don't much check out what booth babes are pushing. Something about it is off putting. Why would this beautiful woman be needed? Is this supposed to make me want your items? No. No it doesn't. I'm not sure about other people.

OP, id ask how effective booth babes are to selling merch if there's anyone else that's done so. but back to your topic, through agencies.

>> No.6619840

How do I hire Jessica Nigri to represent /cgl/ at a con?

>> No.6620367

About booth babes, now obviously if you've got someone wearing coconut oil and very little else, that would be something to avoid, but what about booths with cosplayers who... I dunno what the correct term is, but interact with people? Like acting or improv? I don't know, I'm tired and sick.

>> No.6620384

Oh look it's another "cleverly" disguised JNig selfpost thread

JNig pls go
take your butterface and fake tits with you

>> No.6620405

I'd look for a girl in my local com first than go through an agency.

I don't think booth babes are worth it. I avoid stands with booth babes because immediately think "wow their crap must be expensive if they need a model to sell product"

>> No.6620424

>>6620384
Why do you get so offended when you see Jessica? She's a sweet person and a cute cosplayer whose never been anything but kind to everyone. Stop being so butthurt.

>> No.6620425

>>6619840

Why would you need to hire her? She already represents /cgl/. Whenever anyone thinks /cgl/ they think JNig.

>> No.6620428

Usually from the agency or you could ask your friends if they know some who freelance (a bit of a lower rate).

Get booth babes who -
- are willing to learn info of your product.
- will push (suggets,demo,) your product
- will actually sell your product
- who smells the uniform given before wearing (a not so secret, to tell if she is a professional)
- will actually be presentable to be a Booth Babe (i.e. willing or knows about cosplay, but since most Booth Babes are "models" this should be no problem).

Don't get or fire if you hired stupidly
- the ones who only stand around looking pretty.
- the one with the lazy eye.
- the ones continously holding her cellphone.
- disappears to have her picture taken.
- the ones who are unable to banter for sales (this should not be a prob but sometimes...)

I used to hire Booth Babes (or Brand Ambassadress if you prefer) to push gadget phones and they add around 40% to sales. Worth it when you get good ones.

No, when people think of /cgl/ they think Pixyteri.

PT was years ago. The board has been over her for a long time. At this time last year it was all about Dakota with a side order of JNig. Now thanks to JNig's immense success and recognition she basically IS cosplay. When people think of cosplay they think of JNig as Juliet or Pikachu. It's just how it is. She too will eventually pass.

Nobody remembers Masa, or Lofi and his shitty tattoos, or UsagiKou.

Can someone post a picture of him? I keep seeing his name, but I have no idea who he is.

PT hade multiple threads all day every day until janitors and mods started banning for posting about her. She is by far /cgl/s most talked about female hands down. Not even Miyu got as much attention in her hay day

>>6620445
I remember all of them...

>> No.6620451

>>6620450

I recall PT dramatically tailing off heading into last year and by the summer it was all about Dakota, JNig, and flan. (lol)

and i remember masa d luffy but to act like he was anything significant is dumb. He's never been on the PT/Dakooter/JNig level.

>> No.6620452

>>6620450
True but things were different back then. Facebook didn't exist and social media was in it's infancy. I like Jnig because she seems like a nice person but Miyu was hotter and had a better body imo.
>>6620430
To be fair he kinda did it to himself. I do miss Masa and the other oldschool tripfags though. They made this board more entertaining.

What do you mean by they?

>> No.6620456

>>6620453
Looks pretty clear to me that "they" in this case is referring to "people".

Are you perhaps not a native English speaker?

Here again.
>>6620450
I'm sorry I read your post wrong the first time. Yes, I agree that PT was by far more talked about than Jnig. The only thing that stopped us from constantly making threads about her was the new rules. I think most of the Jnig posts are her selfposts because she's constantly having to promote herself to stay popular. In PT's case we all actually wanted to talk about her as much as possible because she was so interesting and her shennanigans were so entertaining.

Can we get this thread back on topic? JNig is beloved, regardless of how much the jellyfat might hate her.

OP: just call up a modeling agency and see if you can do a bit of interviewing to find someone engaging.
