When selecting the cast for the Bad Girls' Club, I realized that three of the five contestants were from Titan! Therefore, I took that as a sign that we needed a "Women of Titan" challenge.
So, this is the lineup:
Host: Mystelor Judges: Saturn Girl, Marli Zhorg and Dr. Aven (there *will* be guest judges along the way....) Contestants: Eve Aries, Jeyra Entinn, Esper Lass, Mentalla and Nara Minsork.
I had considered calling this contest "Mind Freak" but I didn't think Imra or Aven would go along with that.
Stay tuned.... the whole competition is mapped out!

The intros and first challenge are pencilled. Just need to scan, color and letter...

Those intros are posted now.
"Sirens of Saturn"
I like it!
The first challenge will be posted soon.
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
Jeepers!
I always knew that Titan produced the hottest women in the galaxy, but... Jeepers!
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
All we need now is a Mandalla appearance, and that could be the hottest Dean Lee thread ever!
Posted by MLLASH on :
Jeepers, indeed!
That collection of women is so magnificently beautiful, it's scary! Well, super-imposing anyway.
I've always been a big Mystelor fan... that TAURUS GANG issue is my favorite of the latter ADV era...
Posted by Invisible Brainiac on :
Well done!
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
Thank you!
Is Mandalla from Titan? I need to re-read the story she was in. I can only recall her from Who's Who.
I have a decent handful of people from Titan I want to give bit parts in this, but does anyone have any stand out suggestions?
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
Mandalla was half-Titanian, according to Who's Who.
Posted by Thriftshop Debutante on :
WWLSH sez: Tari's mother never revealed her father's identity, but from the powers that Tari exhibits, he is runored to be a Titanian.
Lash has put forth the idea that Policy Pam has a smidge of psi powers (which expresses itself in her super-salessentientship) from a Titanese many-times-great-grandparent.
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
And Pam is super-hot, which could be evidence of Titan genes as well!
Posted by Tamper Lad on :
Bah everyone knows that Titan women are all very plain looking (to be polite). They've just been altering our perception of them for 50 years.
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
I appreciate all the comments given so far!
I want to complete the BALD is BEAUTIFUL challenge before this one really gets going, so please stay tuned.
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
I've colored 2 of the holos for the first round. May I just say that I LOVE this set?!
Posted by Mystery Lad on :
Remember the Dev-em origin that had cast him as a Titanian who used his mental abilites to turn himself into a pseudo-Kryptonian? (Leading to him destroying the moon, I think). He had wacky facial hair and a badly shaved head.
He might make for a fun cameo. You've already used my other suggestion-- Titanor.
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
Wacky facial hair Dev-Em was a Daxamite.
The Titanian origin was WWitLSH only. But it would still be fun to see him.
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
Hmm... I never knew that about Dev-Em. I'll consider it.
Meanwhile, it does seem I'm progressing the the Bad Girls competition now and I'll get this one going after that (or maybe nearer the end of that one... we'll see).
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
I've completed colors for the first challenge! Now I just need to finish the judges' commentary. It'll be tomorrow or later, though.
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
Change o' plans!
I was able to stay home and finish off the details for this round.
So, what's on your mind? Who's got to go?
Posted by MLLASH on :
Wow, this will be a real toughie, as all were very good, with Jeyra being particularly outstanding for me. She's WAY safe.
Under EXTREME duress, my vote will go to Eve Aries... maybe it was the colors not standing out enough (because SHE certainly does), I dunno. It helps that I know I'll get to continue to see her hostess the BAD GIRLS competition.
And speaking of hostesses, Mystie is just lovely. I wanna see her compete!!
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
Oh dear! I completely forgot we'd have to vote people off! I just want to see pages upon pages of beautiful pics of these beauties!
Crap, I'll have to think about this.
Posted by Insomniac Girl on :
This is once again just so unbelievably cool. Everybody looks so fantastic that it's almost criminal to vote out anybody at all.
My absolute favorite is Nara Minsork. Love the pose, the wild, wild hair with its slightly speed-blurred tips, the tattoo and the strong contours. Best Saturn backdrop, as well.
Eve Aries is fantastically haughty in that fantastic dress. With Jeyra Entinn it doesn't even matter that you can't see all of her (very pretty) dress; once you look at those voluptious curls you forget that anything else even exists.
Meta Ulnoor and Deyla Castil are great as well. Cool hairstyles! Since somebody has to go I pick Meta on account of liking her cold colour scheme less than Deyla's pastel spring freshness.
Posted by Set on :
Choosing one to boot is like pulling teeth! They're all so good!
Eve has, at first glance, a great shot, with one of the best pictures of the planet. On the other hand, she, like Jeyra, didn't work *with* her guest-planet.
Nara Minsork really worked the colors behind her. She worked well with the planet shot, and the blur of hair was inspired!
Meta looks very poised and yet relaxed at the same time, I like the sweep of hair particularly.
Jeyra was a bit brash, all up in my face like that. I know you are sharing space with a planet, but try not to compete. It's a *planet,* dear, you're gonna lose...
Deyla didn't quite sell her pose. The dress seemed to cramp her style a bit, but considering her fate, I'm gonna give her a pass.
It's gonna have to be Eve or Jeyra. Both of them managed to come off as a bit cheap, with their red dresses and their sparklies and their inability to play well with Saturn.
Okay, I've decided. Jeyra for the shiny boot of space. She's too bold, and reeks of overconfidence. Goeth before a fall, chica...

RINGS AROUND
These Titanese femmes don't fool around. Extrapolating from this first set of holos, I don't know if there's another group of Supermodel contestants that could take down this Ferocious 5.
Really, there's not a bad one in the bunch. I think my favorite is Meta in the icy blue stretch satin. Thumbs up for Delya's lemon-lime vibe.
I respond least to: NARA
Important note: Mentalla's name is DELYA.

I gotta say, I'm really not feelin' Jeyra. Pseudo-evil or not, she still should've used the atmosphere and outfit more to her advantage. Shame.
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
DELYA DELYA DELYA DELYA DELYA DELYA DELYA DELYA DELYA DELYA
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
That was 10 DELYA's to make up for the unfortunate typo in the challenge. (It's been fixed.)
What a wonderful response to the Sirens! Thank you all.

The results so far...
Jeyra 2 votes Eve, Meta and Nara 1 vote each Delya 0 votes
Posted by Doctor One on :
Lovely pictures, it's very difficult to choose. Who is Meta Ulnoor again?
I'm going to vote against her...
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
Meta Ulnoor is better known at Esper Lass from the Legion of Super Rejects and later, the Legion of Super Villains.
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
The results so far...
Jeyra and Meta 2 votes each Eve and Nara 1 vote each Delya 0 votes
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
Okay, if I absolutely *must* vote...
Nara seems to work with the background the least, so I'll vote her off on those grounds.
Posted by Mystery Lad on :
I love the colors for Eve and 'her' Saturn! Like her expression, too. I think she's my favorite of this round.
I like Meta's color choice, too. Something about those shoes and the white surface she's on make me think she's about to 'go into her dance'. A slinky Broadway star.
Delya-- is it yellow or chartreuse? Her hair's like a windswept 1940's movie star-- Betty Grable in space.
Jeyra-- though there are problems (her dress clashes with the planet, to me... what is her right hand *doing* down there?), that *face* against the purple Saturn... *beautiful* hair! No way I could vote her out.
Nara-- I admire that she went for a completely different 'backdrop' and chose the orbital path of Saturn's rings on acid. She furthered the image with a dance-step pose, wild hair and the tattoo. (Did Nara wear that in her 'real' story?) Here, it's indistinct. I can sort of tell it's Saturn, but not fully. I at first glance thought it was a microphone-thingie, to go with the girl-singer look.
With five great pics, it's the little things that count against the contestants. So, it's that little Saturn tattoo thing that makes me vote Nara out.
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
Nara's tatoo of Saturn is supposed to be kind of indistinct. She was forcibly tatooed (part of the whole "Titanians being forced to wear Saturn symbols" of the post-ZH), and presumably had partially removed it.
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
Nara 3 Meta and Jeyra 2 each Eve 1 Delya 0
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Eve is stunning. If this was to pick the winnner, I'd say Eve.
Jeyra also looks stunning, but seems too much of a camera hog, blocking out the picture of Saturn.
Nara Minsork looks great in the Spider-girl inspired outfit.
I didn't like Meta's outfit, but she looked great.
So my pick for losing contestant is Delya. She just seems so plain. She neither compliments Saturn nor does Saturn help her. In fact she looks a little anorexic.
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
Nara 3 Meta 2 Jeyra 2 Eve 1 Delya 1
POLLS CLOSED!
Cya Nara!
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
The top four hypnotists are posted! Who has compelled you to reject them?
Posted by Thriftshop Debutante on :
EVE. That hair. Those "shoulder pads". It's Joan Crawford...of Space!
DELYA. Takes the space-cake.
JEYRA. A fine pic, but not ultra like the above two.
OUT: META Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
I'm voting Meta, but I think it's because I found her background the least hypnotizing.
Poor Nara!
Posted by Caliente on :
I gotta vote out Jeyra again. She's just not doin' it for me!
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
Vote out Eve. I think she's using her cleavage as a supplemental control.
Sorry I missed the first round. I always liked Nara. At least you got a good joke out of her farewell!
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Eve looks regally beautiful. I can see why she is Saturn QUEEN.
Jeyra looked haughty.
Delya looked pretty and came closest to the challenge criteria.
Meta looks like she just stepped out of the shower after killing somebody.
Reject Meta (who should be used to rejection. What kind of name is "Legion of Super-Rejects"? The L in their costumes didn't stand for Legion.)
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
Who should go? So far: Meta 3 votes Jeyra and Eve 1 each Delya 0
Posted by Doctor One on :
Yeah, I also think that Meta should go next...
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
Meta 4 Jeyra 1 Eve 1 Delya 0
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
Poor Meta!
Posted by Insomniac Girl on :
I think Meta looks great. There's something really alien about her. It's as if she's only wearing a human facade under which there's lurking something cold, strange and cruelly indifferent. I think she rocks the challenge most of them all.
I vote out Eve. Her outstretched arms in that outfit make me think of wings and make her look to me as if she's gonna flap out of the picture any minute to smother us with her cleavage.
Posted by Set on :
Meta is the best looking one, IMO!
I don't like Eve or Jeyra's looks in this one.
I'm gonna vote out Eve, after flipping a coin. She's supposed to look creepy, and displaying cleavage may indeed mesmerize a male, but it doesn't actually 'haunt' them.
Posted by MLLASH on :
Obviously, you've never had the "smothered to death by giant breasts" dream!
Nara's elimination was a travesty wrapped in an abomination, drizzled with "are you CRAZY?!?!!" sauce. I'm outraged. (just for play play)
As for this round, my least favorites were Jeyra and Meta. Jeyra gets a pass for being my favorite last round.
Eve was my favorite here, with Delya being a surprising contender as well.
OUT: Meta.
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
Meta 5 Eve 3 Jeyra 1 Delya 0

Polls closed!
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
The top three have been cast in bronze! Which one should stay that way for the rest of the challenge?
Name your reject...
Posted by Mystery Lad on :
This one is very challenging. There's really not much to distinguish between the three in these pics, for me. So, should I vote by previous rounds? Affection for the characters from their comic stories?
I'm going to vote out Jeyra only because I thought it was XS when I first saw her 'dipped-in-bronze' image.
Imra may be protesting on the panel, but I think she mentally overshadowed all three contestants during the taking of their pics.
Posted by Thriftshop Debutante on :
Eve: Best.
Jeyra: Okay.
Delya: OUT. Posted by Sketch Lad on :
Who should go? Jeyra 1 Delya 1
Posted by Caliente on :
Voting out Delya. Not a fan. She's so... vacant looking.
Jeyra was definitely my fave this time around. She had the most conveyed.
Eve was... eh. But I have faith in her.
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
I'm voting out Delya as well.
Posted by Doctor One on :
I seem to be going against the flow here, but I like Eve the least this time around.
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
Delya 3 Jeyra 1 Eve 1

quote:Originally posted by MLLASH: Obviously, you've never had the "smothered to death by giant breasts" dream!
I'm starting to feel somewhat unsettled by the incidents you're cooking up for me, even if they haven't happened to me as of now.
I also wanna state that I sure as hell wouldn't have complimented Nara on her tattoo if I had known that she didn't get it voluntarily.
-------
Bronze Medal for Delya, please. She looks too deer-in-headlights for my tastes.
Eve is super-fierce!
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
Insom, Don't feel unsettled! XS is there, giving you the wink, so it's all for fun.
Delya's in trouble...
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
Delya 4 Jeyra 1 Eve 1
Posted by Set on :
Sorry Delya, you look like a deer in headlights!
Better luck next time.
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
*Gasp*! Poor Delya!
Posted by Insomniac Girl on :
quote:Originally posted by Sketch Lad: Insom, Don't feel unsettled! XS is there, giving you the wink, so it's all for fun.
Sure, you keep saying that now, but next Lash’s probably going to suggest that I’ve obviously never been trampled by an aggravated deer trying to escape from headlights, and pray tell, what is that horrible notion then going to do to my delicate psyche? Never knew that judging contests could be so risky.
Posted by Invisible Brainiac on :
I agree, poor Delya I'd love to see more of that innocent quality.
Posted by MLLASH on :
Hmmm. Delya was my favorite here, she's most recognizable.
Eve and Jeyra don't really look like themselves.
Eve was my favorite last round, so she gets a pass.
OUT: Jeyra

POLLS CLOSED!
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
Nearly ready to post the finale! Hang in there...
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
It's time to name your Siren of Saturn! Who do you choose for winner? Jeyra or Eve?
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
Jeepers! How do you choose between two perfect pictures?
Oh well, it's got to be Eve for the win, so we get a matching set of her and the Handsome Lad winner!
Posted by MLLASH on :
Awww, geez... they're both amazing. LUH-HU-HUUUVE the retro 'do's.
But do I daresay Jeyra looks just a smidgen (0000000000000.00000000000001%) more femme-fatale-ey?
JEYRA for the win....
Posted by Caliente on :
I'm with Lash-- Jeyra for the win! She impressed me coming from my least fave to the one I want getting the title.
Fabulous job, Dean.
Posted by Thriftshop Debutante on :
Well.
Jeyra clearly has it over Eve in this round...the expression, the hair, the outfit. (The Queen wins for shoes, though.)
I think Eve has had a stronger showing overall, but I usually cast my final ballot on the immediate matchup, not the cumulative portfolio. What to do?
Well, think about it for awhile, obviously!
PS: Orla cracked me the hell up.
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
Jeyra for #1 Siren.
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
Winner? Jeyra 3 Eve 1
Polls remain open...
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
Jeepers, folks! Stop thinking about this in terms of quality of pics, and think about how cool it will be to have Eve and Tenzil win their simultaneous competitions!
Posted by Set on :
Eve has a mischeivous sort of innocence going on, despite her outfit, and, oh my, what sort of naughtiness could she be up to with that particular bit of hardware?
Jeyra just looks too haughty. Plus she's got some pretty monster thigh going on.
My vote's for Eve.
Or did she make me vote for her? Arg! My brain!
Posted by Thriftshop Debutante on :
Mekt sure hangs around with some dangerously amazing femmes, doesn't he? I'm sure it's no accident that he's not voting.
EVE for the win.
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
3 to 3 so far...
Posted by Mystery Lad on :
*Very* hard to choose-- I adore those '40's 'dos and fashions.
Femme fatale Jeyra with her smoky looking-down-her-nose come hither stare or mischievous, playful Eve?
Theda Bara by way of Joan Crawford or June Allyson mixed with Rita Hayworth?
I'm tempted to give it to Jeyra just for the bows on her shoes.
Both have memorable expressions... both utilize eye-catching poses.
So, once again, it's the little things that determine who I'll pick.
This challenge's 'little thing'? The Titan Hub freaks me out a bit.
So, Eve for the win.
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
I vote to reject Eve. She seems too nice in this picture. Her great beauty has always been her regal aloofness. Jerya captures that here.
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
4 to 4
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
Yay!
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
Yes, I was the tie-breaker. It was a difficult decision, though.
