It's true that Sun Woman doesn't manage to overshadow her counterpart like the other two. I'm still voting against Bel; looking sporty simply isn't high on my personal list of things which give off a 'bad girl' vibe.

Obviously you've never had your ass kicked by a girl in sports!

Should something like that ever occur I shall revise my opinion accordingly. Would you in such a case advise to extract revenge, and if yes, with which sporting equipment of space ought I fight back to ensure maximum success?

There's not a word yet, for old friends who've just met.

Nah, skip revenge, and play the 'wounded pride' card (or possibly the 'actually hurt' card, if the situation warrants) to get free guilt coupons, which can often be redeemed for exciting prizes like sympathy backrubs.

Aside from the fact that I like the holo, of course, I give points to Sun Woman for having a worthy opponent. The others don't. (In Bel's case it's not a matter of worth, really, it's appropriateness.)

The "spotlight" challenge had a bit of an evolution.
One of my ideas for this competition was "Bad Baby Doll" or "Bad Prom Queen." Kind of a Courtney Love take on the concept. The thing is, when we got to the top three, I totally forgot. I lost my notes! So, I tried to think of a new idea. I thought of the Naughty School Girl, which made me think of Mean Girls (I've never seen that movie, btw). Mean Girls made me think about how Bad Girls hate Good Girls. So, I wanted a Bad Girls versus Good Girls challenge. Then, I thought about how in Legion comics, "scheming" seems to happen (or used to) a lot. Honestly, depicting three different schemes in single holos became too much of a challenge for me alone. So, I decided to keep it simple, and make it a fashion show walk off!
So... who to pit against the top three...
First of all, I happily broke the top 4 tie by rejecting Thora. The other three had more obvious rivals.
1. There was no doubt in my mind that Sun Woman would go up against Night Girl. To me, they were equal. Very pleased with that holo. (Even in all it's sketchiness, quick colors, etc. You all know that I dream that the *perfect* inker was out there, just waiting for some prolific penciller to come along and provide some sketches for him or her to finish... right?) I was really looking forward to any comments you all would have about that. Thank you!
2. I love that we got to explore the plain-girl-with-the-hot-mom concept. What kind of mama would go up against her own daughter in a holo competition? In the books, Bel clearly loved her daughter, and would probably only do this for fun. Kono looks grumpy in the holo, but I bet she's actually proud of mama.
3. We don't know much about Es Roh, but I'm going with the idea that she' a Rimborian, legally or not. He has the Jo Nah, An Ryd, etc, naming convention. Anyway, she's a Rimborian bad girl, who'd be a good counterpart? A nice Rimborian lass.... oh yeah, I was just talking about using messed up An in the first challenge was fun and that I'd like to use the sweet, innocent An some other time... bingo! IMO, An won the walk-off between her and Es. She was prettier and sweeter. However, Es looks the part of the bad girl.

Es Roh looks like she's been spending a bit too much time on the 31st century equivalent of the Stairmaster. But she has that charming human dragonfly thing going on.
I like Sun Woman quite a bit, but Bel-in-Sun-Boy's shirt from the last round pulls her ahead.
So, I vote out Sun Woman (though I'd like to see her as a judge-- has she been in any of the competitions?)
