E3 2009 was not only a return to the big trade show event version of our favorite week of the year in games (we are still trying to forget those two horrible years of just media folks going to meeting rooms). It was also a return for the booth babes. Some people love to see them and other want this trade show tradition thrown out with the baby water. But they are definitely coming back for E3 2010.

G4TV had several booth babes at their E3 2009 exhibit hall space and this year they are asking potential female models and spokespeople to submit a video of themselves saying why they should be the official G4 booth babe. Submissions must be made by May 19. A group of judges will then pick a number of video submissions and post them on the G4 web site where readers can vote for their favorite booth babe from May 24-June 4. The top three vote getters then go through another G4 judging panel and they will pick the final winner. That woman will be flown to Los Angeles to be G4's booth babe at E3 2010. And it's likely we will take a picture of the winner. And it's likely you will look at it. Don't pretend you won't.

E3 2009 is officially under way and we decided not to waste any time. We roamed the show exhibit halls and took pictures of the various booth models. Even though the show was open for just one hour we found quite a few models (both women and men) already dressed up. We suspect that even more will be in place later today.

One bit of very disappointing news on the E3 booth babe front, however. Remember when IGN reported that Activision was going to have some Wolfenstein Elite Guard models at their booth? Well today we were told that for some unknown reason those models won't be showing up at the show after all. Epic fail, Activision.
