This "who's ugly" thing always seems to draw the ugly side out of perfectly nice people. I suppose it's because we can sneer and jeer at the looks of a mesh without hurting the meshes feelings, and sneering and jeering reminds us of the fun days in primary when we could make fun of Matilda Cleland's butt till she cried.

No model is perfect, and none of the three squabbled over here is an exception. What bothers me about Judy and Jessi is that eF/CL didn't take the time to improve the mesh when real errors surfaced, like the bump on Judy's nose, etc. "Big hands" and "short arms" are not, as RatC has pointed out, an "error" any more than Ellen Barkin's nose is a "mistake." I wrestled with the Cosmo Aesthetes sneering at Judy's disgusting normalness till I got tired of it. I think Jessi is flat-out gorgeous and Vickie has the vacuous, bovine look of a Baywatch pneumatic. All, of course, "out of the box." Vickie III is the best mesh -- which is an entirely different question, and comparing Gen I Judy/Jessi with Gen III of the most popular mesh around. In other words, what's the surprise.

Personally, I prefer Steph I to the whole bunch, and SP3 [sic], who takes most of V3's morphs, for versatility. And I say prefer because it's a matter of preference, not some sort of categorical imperative. Personally, I've always hoped Matilda grew up to be a dish, and I wish she could send a picture to each of the slack-bellied, bulb-nosed twerps who teased her back then.
