The FEMS Edition is almost complete and the Auburns are getting there, but I want to get the competition for those with black hair organized. As always, there's a form to fill out. Things are just a TAD different this time...
There will be 5 male contestants and 5 female contestants competing. Normally, all characters from Legion comics are invited to join, whether they are villains, actual Legionnaires, supporting characters, etc. This time, though, I really want to limit the number of actual Legionnaires included, so...
1. Which 2 male Legionnaires would you like to see in this competition? Why?
2. Which 2 female Legionnaires would you like to see in this competition? Why?
3. Which 3 male non-Legionnaires would you like to see in this competition? Why?
4. Which 3 female non-Legionnaires would you like to see in this competition? Why?
Answering "why" will be very important. Please include that part in your response! YOur reason may be more compelling than the popular vote.
Note- if less than two Legionnaires are voted in, that request will stand. So, if NO Legionnaires are nominated and voted in, that is acceptable. (I think that'll be unlikely, but we'll see.)
5. I would like to have the first judges come back for this competition; Saturn Girl, Emerald Empress and Marte Allon. However, Ms. Allon is often busy. Is there another person who might make a good fill-in?
6. Dream Girl is the obvious choice for host, but popular opinion can definitely change that. Is there someone else that you'd like to see host?
7. We at Pinup Models, Inc. already have some interesting ideas for challenges, but is there an idea, location, prop, etc. that you'd like to see used in this competition?

Male Legionnaires: -Rokk. To me he's the quintessential black-haired Legionnaire. Even if he dyed his hair in the threeboot. -And I support your nomination for Superboy
Female Legionnaires: -Violet. I especially like the short-haired, scarred version of her from the 5YL period. Tough and beautiful. -Danielle Foccard, alias Computo
Male non-Legionnaires -Dragonmage. A bit of East Asian exotism... -How about Color Kid? I'm sure you could do good things with him. -Here's a ball from left field: the Prophet (from the Omen storyline)
Female non-Legionnaires -Winema Wazzo: I want her as a contestant, not as a judge! -Captain Frake would be great. -Ivy, from 5YL. I suppose she was a Legionnaire for a short while, but I think she fits better in this category. And she'd be different allright.
As for judges, how about Tellus? Or Blok?
Personally, I'd like to have another hostess. In my opinion Dawnstar would be much better as a hostess than as a contestant.

So I made a list, for ease of reference, 'cause I hate reading through other people's reccomendations after posting my own and thinking, 'Oh! I forget them! Can I change my vote?'
Legion Male – Cosmic Boy, Tyroc, Superman, Invisible Kid II, Star Boy (threeboot), Mon-El, Bouncing Boy, Chemical King, Matter-Eater Lad,
Other Male – Rond Vidar, Blockade Boy, Color Kid, Dragonmage, Kent Shakespeare, Karate Kid II (Myg), Kid Quantum I, Magnetic Kid, Cosmic King, Visi-Lad, Ron-Karr, Phantom Lad, Ol-Vir, Tyr, Aviax, Re-Animage,
Female – Night Girl, Life Lass, Laurel Kent
quote: 1. Which 2 male Legionnaires would you like to see in this competition? Why?
Cosmic Boy and Mon-El.
Cos, because not since the day's of Grell and the nip-exposing-man-kini have we seen Cos letting it all hang out. There was a time when he *wasn't* known for talking too much, and actually was the quietest of the founders!
Mon, because we've *never* seen him doing anything frivolous and it would be interesting, and perhaps scary, to see him doing something like this. (Perhaps with Shady pushing him out on to the stage?)
quote: 2. Which 2 female Legionnaires would you like to see in this competition? Why?
Phantom Girl just seems like a natural showperson for this sort of thing, with the 'hip' clothes and the great hair. Plus, if Winema is a judge, there can be conflict-of-interest drama in the judge-box.
I'd love Shady, but I think I'd like to see more of Kid Quantum II instead. Jaz was hot with her short hair, legs-accentuating costume and purple lips. If Tinya becomes the host, I'd go with Kid Quantum and Shady.
Gosh, and I just noticed that I nominated a bunch of couples (Mon and Shady, and, even better, Cos and both KQII *and* Night Girl! Fight!! Get the whipped cream!).
quote: 3. Which 3 male non-Legionnaires would you like to see in this competition? Why?
Rond Vidar. Even before the little green accessory of space, he was an interesting character.
Ron-Karr. 'Cause he's gonna be flattened by the competition, and that's his specialty! Mr. 'I can cut you in half with my pinkie!' gets no love.
Myg (Karate Kid II). I loved the Timber Wolf & Sensei on Lythl issue. Legion storytelling at it's best, and Myg has a strong look, and, ever more fun, a great overconfident / arrogant attitude.
quote: 4. Which 3 female non-Legionnaires would you like to see in this competition? Why?
Night Girl. One word. Beehive!
Laurel Kent! I love Laurel, I really, really do. Space-poncho!
And, uh, there weren't a lot of choices I could find, so I'm gonna leave it at Night Girl and Laurel Kent for now, until other people propose some raven-haired 'others' for me to say, 'Oh yeah!' about...
quote: 5. I would like to have the first judges come back for this competition; Saturn Girl, Emerald Empress and Marte Allon. However, Ms. Allon is often busy. Is there another person who might make a good fill-in?
President Phantom Mom, definitely, with at least one appearance of the severe eye-goggle things that make her look like a hit-woman.
quote: 6. Dream Girl is the obvious choice for host, but popular opinion can definitely change that. Is there someone else that you'd like to see host?
If she doesn't make it as a model, I think Phantom Girl would make a terrific host. She's never lacked personality, even if not being portrayed as 'glam' as Dreamy.
It's fun to imagine Tinya done up in the sorts of outfits that Cher uses to shock and awe her fans.
Don't get me wrong, I like Dreamy, but Ayla was a breathe of fresh air (and my, how perky and globular one looks under anti-gravity!), and I think it would be fun to continue that trend.
quote: 7. We at Pinup Models, Inc. already have some interesting ideas for challenges, but is there an idea, location, prop, etc. that you'd like to see used in this competition?
Uniforms? Not the same uniform, 'cause that would be boring, different types of Uniform of Space!
Less action shots, more 'posing.' I'm a huge fan of action shots and fight scenes, but they don't always show the model in the most flattering light (or pose, or whatever). I think the posed photo-shoot shots end up being the best ones, while the 'fight shots' tend to not end up as flattering for anyone involved.
quote: 8. Anything else?
Have fun! I know I will, with my arduous task of clicking the thread multiple times a day to see if it's been updated!

1. Which 2 male Legionnaires would you like to see in this competition? Why?
Mon-el - for the muscles,man, for the muscles. And we really need a Mon-el fix. I'd prefer him to Superbo--er man (we don't want to start a lawsuit )
Cosmic Boy - Rokk can really work the mojo. And despite rumors/evidence of B-slapping, I think Rokk also has a sensative side that doesn't often get shown.
2. Which 2 female Legionnaires would you like to see in this competition? Why?
Shrinking Violet - Under-appreciated, this could be her chance to shine like the star she is.
Phantom Girl - Well, it was either her or Shadow Lass and having had Lady Memory in the Fems competition, I would prefer Tinya to Tasmia.
3. Which 3 male non-Legionnaires would you like to see in this competition? Why?
Color Kid - no particular reason Rond Vidar - ditto Jungle King - (I looked at the other nominations and said "Oh yeah")
4. Which 3 female non-Legionnaires would you like to see in this competition? Why?
Night Girl - Because of the Beehive baby Life Lass - Just because Laurel Kent - (I looked at the other nominees and went "oh yeah")
5. I would like to have the first judges come back for this competition; Saturn Girl, Emerald Empress and Marte Allon. However, Ms. Allon is often busy. Is there another person who might make a good fill-in?
Winema Wazzo
6. Dream Girl is the obvious choice for host, but popular opinion can definitely change that. Is there someone else that you'd like to see host? Will we see Nura with raven locks? Would she look good with black hair?
The only other potential host, I would have Triplicate Girl. 3 hosts in one.
7. We at Pinup Models, Inc. already have some interesting ideas for challenges, but is there an idea, location, prop, etc. that you'd like to see used in this competition?
They all should go Goth (I'd leave this for one of the middle competitions and not the first one - if used at all)
8. Anything else?
Nope, that is all

Invisible Kid II (Jacques). Zut! I like that stripe. And if Drura digs him, he's got to be mighty fine. If endearingly uptight at times.
Star Boy (current version). Well, all the chicks seem to dig him. Don't argue with all the chicks. (And don't have sugar or bombs as props/on the space-craft services table.)
2. Female Legionnaires.
None! See #4.
3. male non-Legionnaires
Color Kid. He's got a strange/cool visual going there. Not to mention his powers. Go, Ulu, go!
Rond Vidar. Smart! Brave! Cute! Humble! He'd never enter of his own accord, so we need to deploy some of his female friends to drag him out of his lab and into this contest!
I ditto Dean on Dynamo Dude. Uh, Boy.
4. female non-Legionnaires
NIGHT GIRL. Because she is Night Girl. That hair! Those heels! The skintight black outfit! Because any Girl who was "the muscle" during the Silver Age is fabulous! Lovely sans beehive as well... see LSH 297 for a primo example. Okay, maybe questionable taste in sentients (please, Lydda, let me introduce you to Rond!) but you have to respect a girl who goes after and gets what she wants. And because there's sure to be trouble if she's not in this.
Life Lass. Such nice kids, those Lallorians. She may be a bit shy, but I think Somi has great potential.
Leung. The young presidential candidate from Baxter 10. Although she did not win the election, she seemed to be headed into a life of government service. Let her have a little fun! Also, I think it's good to have some of the less prominent characters in the mix
Mystelor. Stunning. Excellent costume. Gave villainy a try, didn't care for it. Interesting.
Stiletta. Evillo's short-haired daughter. Feisty & kinda naughty, but a good girl!
5. Judges. I would like the original judges back too! Have Marte make time, dang it! Oh, and I want more Hate Face.
6. Hosts. Why isn't Tenz in my model noms? Because I think he'd be an even better host. He has the gift of gab...really, check those Sourcebooks. MEL either by himself or with Dreamy. They'd have a good time!
7. I resubmit Inshar (world of giant flowers) as a location.
posted
Er, can I second Leung's nomination? Even if I probably have used up all 'my' nominating spots? (that's the trouble of going first...) And a combo of MEL and Dawnstar would rock as hosts, Tenz making fun of everybody and Dawny trying to keep things serious. As a matter of fact, in an ideal universe Tenz would wear a ridiculous version of whatever the challenge is about. Dawny would also do the challenge, but 'seriously', sort of out of competition.

1. Which 2 male Legionnaires would you like to see in this competition? Why?
Bouncing Boy -- His ex-girlfriend won, why not give him a chance?
Cosmic Boy -- He's proven he's not afraid to show some skin, though he should stop the body waxing.
2. Which 2 female Legionnaires would you like to see in this competition? Why?
Phantom Girl -- Anyone who can make bellbottoms work deserves a shot.
Kid Quantum II -- She should be given the chance to look sexy without resorting to butt floss.
3. Which 3 male non-Legionnaires would you like to see in this competition? Why?
Color Kid -- His powers could be visually dynamic, plus he was left out of Chlor's swimsuit/supertot picture, and this is your chance to make up for it.
Jungle King -- Hello, leopard-print bikini!
Rond Vidar -- Nerds can be hot, too (see Michael Shanks in "Stargate SG-1," though, again, leave the trimmer at home).
4. Which 3 female non-Legionnaires would you like to see in this competition? Why?
Night Girl -- TD got it.
Other two -- no real preference, I'll leave it up to fate.
5. Is there another person who might make a good fill-in?
Keep the drum beating for Winema.
6. Dream Girl is the obvious choice for host, but popular opinion can definitely change that. Is there someone else that you'd like to see host?
I second (or third) the Tenz idea!
7. We at Pinup Models, Inc. already have some interesting ideas for challenges, but is there an idea, location, prop, etc. that you'd like to see used in this competition?
Models get sent to the anime-verse and all have really big eyes.

Ah ha! I left myself an open slot because I couldn't think of a third nominee for non-Legion femme, and Thriftshop Debutante comes through with Presidential nominee, Leung!
Leung was gorgeous, and so modest, she *so* deserved to be President.
So instead, let's make her a star!

I'm very concerned about how similar Lydda, Laurel, Tinya, Life Lass and Mystelor look. Lydda has the most votes, so I'm tempted to keep her and cut the rest.
She represents the "pretty" dark haired girls. Leung and Jazmin are the exotics. Vi is the "hard" dark beauty with a scar, and Frake is the older, tougher woman.
What does the group think? I'm not saying this is the cast, but it's what I like...
As for the men, I like the top four...Rond as a geeky, caterpillar type. Color Kid as the unusual looking one. Jungle King as the B-movie star, hunky type. Cos, Supes and Mon could each do the job as rep of the establishment, but Cos has the most votes, so he gets it. I would like to add current Star Boy, too.
Summary... Women: Lydda Leung Jazmin Vi Frake
Men: Cos Star Boy Jungle King Color Kid Rond Vidar
The polls are still open, but I do wanna get started...
