You know, I remember back in the days when I joined TFS and the Sasha thread only had 30 or so replies. (How it has grown over the past 2 years.

) The Gemma comparisons seemed to start when her first Prada campaign came out. It's weird, because I thought she looked like Gemma in the beginning also, but as time has gone by, you can see they're nothing alike.
Gemma, Sasha, Heather, Vlada and Stam are all models thaty I like and each for their own reason. Yes, Sasha has a look that you have to get used to, but once you do, well, you never go back. Her editorial work is flawless and you can almost see the emotions jumping off each page. Yes, she can look a tad ackward on the runway, but frankly, she's improved a great deal since her first season, and I've kind of grown to like the way she works the catwalk. It may look a bit.....unique, for lack of a better word, but it's very much her own and she makes no apologies for that, which I think is very cool.
Gemma is a great model, there is no doubt about that, but the way I see it, comparing her to Sasha is like comparing Prada to Versace. Both are great in their own rights, they may not appeal to the same people, but that doesn't make one better than the other. This whole Gemma VS Sasha thing is becoming redundant.
I don't think that any model set the standard for the other. Each one has their own look, even if they fall into category doll/bombshell/quirky/etc. Beaty is in the eye of the beholder. Let's just root for all our faves!
