        <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Not Bad. I almost voted for 
          her since she was from the id Boys’ home state. Her hips need work, 
          but she is a good model. ‘Two-finger gap’ will help if you get my drift.</font></p>

        <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Nice, but you need to get

        <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Not bad from the waist down…bad

        <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">She’d have been great for 
          that Super Hero Love Doll Challenge Contest. The thought of animating 
          her scares me.</font></p>

        <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">She’s hot, there is no doubt…but 
          why the hell didn’t you turn that edge in her arm where the delt and 
          biceps meet? Doesn’t that catch your eye? Her hair looks kinda nappy, 
          too. It is a good model, overall though and was a pubic hair away from 
          making the A list.</font></p>

        <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Points for creativity, but 
          I’d probably have to pass on that action if I saw it on the corner.</font></p>
        <p align="center"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><a href="aphrodite39.php"><img src="images/thumbs/aphrodite39.jpg" width="125" height="100" border="1"></a></font></p>

        <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">She’s really quite good and 
          I just was too lazy to include her in the A list. I’d love to see what 
          you have planned for the animation. Give her a toy for her other hand. 
          For me?</font></p>

        <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><b>49. Miss West Virginia</b></font></p>
        <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Nice rack, but the boring 
          pose, hips and butt ruin it for me. Give her a woman’s hips, round the 
          bottom out some more, don’t make her chin so pointy and she makes the 
          cut.</font></p>
        <p align="center"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><a href="aphrodite49.php"><img src="images/thumbs/aphrodite49.jpg" width="125" height="84" border="1"></a></font></p>

        <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">I’ve heard of ‘legs up to 
          HERE’ but that’s a <i>stretch</i> in this case. Why didn’t you turn 
          the edges at her waist? It really looks rushed, but I understand, Dude.</font></p>
