As I’m sure you’ve heard by now, this year E3 plans to more stringently apply the dress code. No nudity, semi-nudity or bikini bottoms, on pain of a verbal warning, then $5000 fine and ejection from the show.<\/p>\n

Booo! Does this mean I’m going to have to take photos of screens this year? That never works out well. Actually, I don’t think there were many transgressions last year<\/a>. There is also the point that E3 and the tech tradeshow scene in general is a good financial boost to many aspiring actresses, models, and local students, so I hope this puritanism doesn’t impinge on that.<\/p>\n

These girls work hard and they aren’t just eye candy: in the better booths (e.g. Nintendo) they explain how the games work and demo the games during slow periods. I don’t know how strictly these rules will be applied, exactly, but I’m hoping crop-tops and miniskirts (ideal gaming wear for a day of DDR in a hot tradeshow?) are still OK.
