My comment about the bland sameness of beauty apparently needed quotes around "beauty." I was thinking of the silliness over at Marquandt Beauty Analysis, with their "universal beauty mask" (which demonstrates definitively that anyone who looks like Carmen Electra is beautiful, regardless of race, color, or creed). Love the Judys, and everything I see in here says to me, "It's not the mesh." Two of the first add-ons for V1/V2 at DAZ, Sara (Catherina Harders) and Deirdre (Mary Dell), were very distinctive, both in the face and body. Deirdre is a permanent favorite with her "too big" pelvis and "too small" breasts, and a great sculpted "too big" mouth. Sara is "ugly" like Tina Turner and Buffy Ste.-Marie (two of the most beautiful women I can think of, and no bloody "universal beauty proportion mask" will fit those glorious faces), and her face is just as racially ambiguous as Turner's rich stew of Black, Creek, and who knows what else. They look like real women, not Vickie with a bit more eyeshadow. What this suggests to me is that people have grown used to taking the level road: twist a few dials, declare a "Character." As a result, 95% of what we see is "Vickie as ..." and "Mike as...", with the occasional "Stephie as...." Everybody ends up looking like Tab Hunter and Madonna asleep. Love those Judys. M
