There are plenty of situations where a girl was hired as "booth talent" / "eye candy" ... maybe she is / maybe she isn't in the industry but depending on the work ... might be interested. It's a win - win. the company that hired her will look even better in her eyes by getting her some additional work after the show and you've found a model that after having hung out together you know you can work with easily.
