        <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><u>Comments</u>: Miss Kansas 
          has a very nice body with a very good distribution of triangles. My 
          only problem with her is her mid-stride pose and face. Her pose should 
          have been more creative and sexy with the spirit of the competition 
          in mind. Her face seems dour to me and even with a texture I think that 
          dourness would come through. Still a nice job.</font></p>

        <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><u>Comments</u>: Her upper 
          torso and pose really sells me on this model. Nice large, proportionate 
          breasts and great hair and face. But, WHAT in vertex’s name is going 
          on with those legs? I’m clueless!</font></p>

        <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><u>Comments</u>: A better 
          pose would have put this model closer to the top of my list. Overall 
          she has the best distribution of faces and the hair is artfully done. 
          I’d be willing to bet that whoever did her is a pro or paid amateur. 
          The consideration for a texture and easy conversion to an animatible 
          model is exemplary. She should have had a better pose, though. Looks 
          like she isn’t completely balanced.</font></p>

        <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><u>Comments</u>: I love Anime 
          and fighting games. This chick could show up in either respect. Her 
          breasts seem like they have about 18 faces that belong in the legs, 
          though. I also dig this model because it’s one of the few with modeled 
          cloth. A high degree of difficulty was accepted when the modeler made 
          this one. I bet he works for someplace like Square or something. ‘Zat 
          you Tommy?</font></p>

        <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><u>Comments</u>: This Canuck 
          goddess really is an Aphrodite. Her pose is well done with an art class 
          sense of weight. Her hair may be a little too polygonal but otherwise 
          a lot of attention was paid to her texture compatibility. Her legs are 
          her only weak-point. The calves are too thick, the knee a little too 
          high (thigh is longer than shin) and her ankles protrude too much. The 
          neck has an extra segment in it too, but overall I thought this model 
          easily stood out from the rest.</font></p>
