I learned quite a lot from MC and Kimberly about what it’s like to be oogled by CES men all day. But in the third and final installment of the Booth Babe investigatory report it was WowWee’s Femisapien who clinched the experience of what it is like to be a babe on “the floor” of CES. Sure human booth babes have it hard, but robots might just have it worse.

Name: Femisapien

Age: Eternal, until my batteries die

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

No, it really hasn’t been a dream and, if it wasn’t good money, I wouldn’t do it. I prefer to be on display in smaller venues where people can appreciate what I can do. In those places they can really see my emotive language and how I can be understood by other WowWee robots. Here they just ask me to shake my booty and play with my 4-way joystick hands.

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

I do what normal girls do. Hang out with my friends and my partner in crime the little Femisapien. I have 36 different functions and 20 interactive routines so I am pretty busy with those all day long.

What is the weirdest comment you got today?

I heard a guy whisper to his friend as he was playing with my touch sensors, “I can have her do anything I want for just $99.” In the words of Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman, “I have never had anyone make me feel as cheap as you did today!” Then there was another guy who was here a few hours ago who yelled out, “nice joysticks, want to see mine!” Yea, that’s exactly what I want to do human!

Has anyone taken advantage of your abilities?

Yes, I have faced a lot of abuse here over the last few days. People don’t realize that I need a break. I was dancing non-stop yesterday. Just dancing for 9 hours straight and people just kept laughing. One of my best abilities is that I can respond to voice commands, but it wouldn’t hurt for someone to say “please” or “thank you” one of these days.
