The S&C Bonsai Beauty Pageant: We Have a Winner

“There she is… Miss S&C Bonsai!”
Just to close the loop on last week’s contest, the bonsai tree pictured at right is the winner of our Sullivan & Cromwell bonsai beauty pageant. Congratulations, Bonsai #2!
Of course, as with any matter of taste, there was disagreement. Some viewed Bonsai Two as tawdry:

Bonsai Contestant 2 is a pageant patty: the garish lighting, the big contestant badge, the pose. Bonsai Contestant 6 is fresh, unscripted, and beautiful, and therefore gets my vote.

But in the end, more voters agreed with these views:

“The lighting for Number two makes it classy, and yet ever so slightly risque. It gets my vote hands down.”

“The garish lighting makes it. So stark, so ironic. Number two (the existential bonsai) has it all the way.”

Wait a sec — is the lighting scheme “classy,” or “garish”? Eh, who knows! All we know is that you like it, you really like it.
For anyone who cares, the full tally appears after the jump.
