Life of a CES Booth Babe - Part II

January 8th, 2008 by Joanna Stern

In the second installment of A Day in the Life of a Booth Babe, I really found out what it’s like to have all the male geek eyes on you. I took a seat next to Norcent’s babe in her beach booth (putting my feet in the sand felt amazing) and what was yelled at me, “Where is your bathing suit?!” Oh, I left it at home with my umbrella and leisure reading, jackass.

Read on to find out more on our second profiled booth babe.

Name: Marie Claire Lemoine aka “MC”

Age: 27

How did you decide to become a booth babe? Is it something you always dreamed of?

Well kind of. I drove out to Vegas to find my claim to fame in 2003. I am usually on stage at these types of events. I am an “MC.” But today a client backed out so I was selected from my modeling agency to come here and pose in a bikini for digital camera shots.

What do you do while you aren’t sitting at booths?mc

I am a full time independent contractor. I sing and dance at night and take on gigs during the days. But this job is pretty nice. I get to sit down all day and many times I get paid to party. I love what I do.

What is the weirdest comment you got today?

It has actually been pretty low key today. One guy said he was zooming in on my zit. So many of the tech guys try to be cool and funny. They try so hard and they look at me like I am a doll. A few weeks ago, I was working at a show and a guy came up to me and stuck a camera up my skirt. International consumers can also be very touchy feely. Like guys, I don’t want you to hug me.

What does Norcent make?

They manufacturer camera and digital picture frames and a range of other things. I am one of the girls that likes to know what my company does. A lot of guys will try to test me and say “lets see what she knows.” I am like, put that in your pipe and smoke it boys!

What is a megapixel?

That is a good question. I know that its more than one pixel.
