Motorshow vs Airshow
Which one was better??....
I was given free tickets to attend these shows. I appreciate my work more during days like these. Imagine, Im paid to wander around and compete with colleagues on who can get the best giveaways!!
Serious aside, purely base observation....
The motorshow was more flash and into keeping "the image". Booth/showcase staff were a combination of the following: impeccably dressed, short skirts/tight pants, flashing cleavages/ripping muscles, a lot of blonds, tons of makeup/hair products, fake tans, young-hot-looks, old-with-power-looks. Very few people were "average". Cars were all flash, some out of reach. Lights all bright, pizazz!!! Conversations were disappointing, most had no clue what they were selling, just happily giving out giveaways like pretty robots. Some tried to sound interesting, bless them, but obviously they were hired to complete the package of the car "looking pretty", intelligence and personality were irrelevant. No fancy shows, although I gawked as usual on the Aston Martins. Without the 'best showbag' game I played with a colleague, I would have been quite bored.
The airshow was into projecting a 'get down to business' image. Suits around, trying to impress, undestandable considering one contract could equal millions. Lots of recruitment booths and technology showcases. Men in uniform everywhere but mostly old, very young, or flabby - not at all hot and fit with muscles ripping his uniform, like in the movies!!! I was very disappointed!! Initially I thought, "finally, the place will have a higher ratio of good looking men than women". I saw a gorgeous guy (in casual gear) in the first 5 minutes. I said, "ok, not in uniform, but good start". He was the first and last. In hindsight, I realised they werent trying to project the same image of "sex and money", instead it was all about being "serious power and business". The show was very nice, but I just got jealous. I didnt want to watch from below, I wanted to be on the plane while it did its tricks!! My colleague felt the same.
Which one was better??? The car show, for the eye-candies, heheheh. It was fun to be surrounded by all the fakism and bright lights, just as long as one doesnt buy into all the bull too much. The airshow had great giveaways, but too serious for me. Plus sorry, but the military and suits' looks were nothing to rave about.
