Booth Babes 101

In days gone by, booth babes used to be an Electronic Entertainment Expo staple — like free swag and "Duke Nukem Forever" screenshots — but when E3 went invite-only in 2007, the babes bounced. This year has heralded many new video game innovations, but it's also marked the return of a bigger E3 and, with it, the return of booth babes. This gallery salutes all the girls over the years who were forced to dress skimpily and take a picture with an overweight fan male fan dressed exactly like them.
