Convention centers are typically floored with bare concrete, and even if you get to sit every once in a while, after 8 hours your feet are swollen and feel as if someone's been pounding on your soles with a sledgehammer. That was in running shoes.<br /><br />Imagine doing it in high heels. It sounds lame, but you *are* lame after three days of it...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16821859.post-82748085721435297842012-06-08T19:36:04.250-06:002012-06-08T19:36:04.250-06:00Well, I definitely wasn't a booth babe and I r...Well, I definitely wasn't a booth babe and I really didn't qualify as a booth stud, but I agree by the third day of the convention, just standing in the booth and being pleasant got old.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16821859.post-82197871425107171112012-06-08T17:27:54.261-06:002012-06-08T17:27:54.261-06:00"I know what you're thinking, that this i..."I know what you're thinking, that this is just another one of my faintly tacky attempts to lure traffic to Flares via titillating subject matter."<br /><br />Well, I for one am glad you did not dissapoint me.

She had some older Russian Babuska as an assistant. A friend walked up and after squinting for a few minutes and within 10 feet of them said in a very loud voice: "Okay, Which one is Yasmine!" <br /><br />Priceless.Evi L.

The job she hated the most was being a human mannequin.<br /><br />She had to freeze in place, which was bad enough, but people were also poking her all day long to see if she was real.ambisinistralhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03836786826294202405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16821859.post-73136441138825079872012-06-08T16:08:11.181-06:002012-06-08T16:08:11.181-06:00In my day, son, we called 'em Vannas.In my day, son, we called 'em Vannas.Simon Kentonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03569879198630338210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16821859.post-48589139976957531892012-06-08T15:52:06.582-06:002012-06-08T15:52:06.582-06:00Breaking gun safety rule #1 in picture five.

It is hard work standing all day and being cheerful. Especially when a GOMB(get out of my booth)drops by. Of course I had to set the booth up before the show and tear it down after the show as well. I kinda doubt these ladies have to do the heavy lifting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16821859.post-35386588307246327642012-06-07T18:24:10.500-06:002012-06-07T18:24:10.500-06:00So that's what "blowin the lid off" ...So that's what "blowin the lid off" something is all about!OMMAGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05475151103850378778noreply@blogger.com
