MISSING: scantily-clad females hawking the latest in electronic toys for the boys.The video game industry's annual trade show in Los Angeles opened its doors to its exhibitors yesterday with organizers ordering women staffing the booths to cover up or face a $5000 fine.
Banned are nudity, partial nudity, bikini bottoms or any sexually explicit or provocative conduct, according to the handbook from The Entertainment Software Association, or ESA, which owns and operates the E3 Expo.
Pauline K, who declined to give her last name, wore a white shredded tank top with an exposed midriff, short mini skirt and knee-high leggings as she handed out fliers for a company that makes custom face plates for Microsoft's Xbox 360 game machine.
She said another of the models received a warning from show organizers for showing too much skin.
"Apparently her cleavage was a little too distracting," she said.
