Real Life WTF Clothing

This story of tech firm Palo Alto using women literally dressed as sexy lamps for their event at a cybersecurity conference (and getting massive blowback from women in tech) has been going around, and it feels like some weird combination of the 00s era of video game "booth babes" (when I saw the story I was like "what year is it?") combined with somebody thinking Kelly Sue DeConnick's "sexy lamp test" was an instruction manual. >_>

Tangentially, I feel like if there was a comic book supervillain whose gimmick was lamps, they'd probably have minions dressed like this.
