The 70s and 80s were a different time.. before business casual was a
thing...
Certainly tattoos on white collar workers were unheard of when I started at DEC, but
"business casual" was very definitely the norm there. Especially among
engineers, who were as likely as not to show up in t-shirts and jeans. For that matter,
that was my usual attire even the first 2 years when I did traveling software support, and
for that matter when I attended DECUS.
I distinctly remember a comment from a DEC customer at DECUS: "When I'm at DECUS,
I always seek out the people wearing t-shirts, because I know they are the ones who know
what they are talking about."

That matches what a DEC FE told me, at least about the
VAX version: the
people were just DEC employees that caught somebody's eye when they were
planning the shots. Don't think they got extra modeling fees..
I wouldn't
expect modeling fees, given the wording of the standard

I can't imagine a company using staff for photo ops. Young people now a
days have tattoos, piercings and wear tee-shirts and flip-flops to work.
