I've been embroiled in a debate for the past couple of weeks over who is the greater supermodel, Christy Turlington or Nadja Auermann. And I'm curious to find out what the rest of you think.

With Christy, you have the perfect face and body but perhaps too perfect and one-dimensional. Every shot looks the same but wow! Every shot is to die for.

With Nadja, you have character and creativity, along with the longest legs in the business. Her face wouldn't neccesarily launch a thousand ships but every image you took would be dramatic.

My votes for Christy but what do you all think? And is there another that you think I've overlooked?

Christy was definitely bigger, definitely left a bigger footprint. But Nadja was hypnotic. In real life, too.

Another you've overlooked. Several. But let's just briefly say that there's never been a better model than Kate. A few from previous eras were as amazing, made as big an impact (ie Verushka) but none better.

Nadja is nothing but a walking PERFECTION.
Perfect face, perfect body, and she also has this something extra that no other model has!!!

I always hated Christy Turlington's nose. Therefore, I vote Nadja without knowing anything about her.

Why does this strike me as an odd thing to cause embroilment?

I always loved both of those gals.  But Nadja I definitely loved more.  Christy was the beautiful girl next door but Nadya was stunning!
