It's like visiting the dentist and realising, as you lie back in the chair, that he's not holding a metal tooth probe in his hand -- but is in fact preparing to ram a red rose down your throat. 'Do not want' does not even begin to describe. But of course it's not just unwanted, it's downright sexist. It's also inherently stupid. You might as well stick up a huge sign yelling, "CHECK IT OUT! WE'RE NOT BIG! WE'RE NOT CLEVER! SEE! BOOBS!". In recent years, Mobile World Congress has not been the worst offender in the booth babes stakes. It's no CES, whose CEO memorably defended booth babes: "It does work. People naturally want to go towards what they consider pretty." Sure, there's that Russian company that turns up every year with an excruciating display of flesh-baring dancing ladies, who perform on the hour -- and stand around scantily for the other 59 minutes. But this is the exception. Most flesh remains safely suited and booted.
Until now, Step forward Microsoft -- which has sent out this burlesque-themed teaser to a Windows Phone 'after party' to be held at Barcelona's El Molino club., Whatever you think of burlesque (Mark Kermode calls it "stripping with A-levels"), putting it on at a trade show party sends out the same message as racking your stand with booth babes, Context is always king, If someone chooses to go and watch a spot of artfully executed brassiere removal in their waiting magritte iphone case own leisure time, fair enough, But putting on strippers at your trade show party? Really Microsoft? What were you thinking?..
If Ballmer & Co are trying to tell us that Windows Phone is just for men, they couldn't have found a less subtle way to get the message across. Titillating industry execs and jaded hacks with booth babes and burlesque is tech's tiresome little secret. The only burlesque dancing I want to see from Microsoft this year is Steve Ballmer can-canning on to the stage for his keynote. Feather boas, beaded necklaces of sweat and artfully positioned Windows Phones are all optional. With Mobile World Congress around the corner, Natasha takes exception to Microsoft's burlesque-themed MWC party.
