Subject: Miss Egypt Tourism World 2007! Author: fan-man [Edit] Date Posted: 15:56:56 06/06/07 Wed (NoHost/217.53.204.168) Miss Tourism World is to take place next november in Taiwan. SHOCKING, Egypt will participate!!! and she never competed in Miss Egypt before, who is she?!!! WHO IS SHE?!! but she is still pretty! [ Post a Reply to This Message ] Replies: what??????how did she talk the title?? that is illegal..i think it is madonna who deserves it..beside madonna is prettier and deserves to represent us...she worked hard to be on top 5..how come a girl didn't compete in any thing go there?! (NT) -- just a girl, 16:58:58 06/06/07 Wed lol, calm down, she is going to a different pageant! She is going to Miss Tourism World in Taiwan while Madonna is going to Miss Tourism Queen International in China! (NT) -- fan-man, 19:49:22 06/06/07 Wed She reminds me of a cross bewteen Nour (2003) and Fawzeya (2006). This is a very nice photo of her. Looks like there is another pageant organization in Egypt! (NT) -- Aiden, 17:57:35 06/06/07 Wed well I like her alot too, she looks familiar actually reminded me abit with Horeyya Farghaly. There is one organizer of beauty pageants in Egypt though, Face To Face. Other event is Best Model of Egypt, Im not sure if she was one of the contestants there! (NT) -- fan-man, 19:50:51 06/06/07 Wed I just remembered, this is the same competition in which Dalia Abou Oma represented Egypt in 2002! (NT) -- fan-man, 08:19:24 06/14/07 Thu Also it is litied that Egypt will be competing in Miss Tourism Africa 2007, Model of the World 2007 and Model of the Universe 2007, the pics and names of our representatives are not up yet!

Subject: MISS UNIVERSE & THE MIDDLE EAST Author: Aiden [Edit] Date Posted: 03:00:02 06/09/07 Sat (CPE0060673d3213-CM014090001039.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com/72.141.2.252) I was thinking about how Riyo Mori won Miss Universe (she was not the strongest or the fittest lady that night) and aside from Ines Legron's (Miss Japan National Director) connections with Paula Shugart some people think Riyo's swimsuit walk set her apart from the other delegates because it showed spark and personality. Many fans believe this is what won Riyo the crown because the final question round was the weakest point of the competition. (Riyo Mori) This got me thinking. In 2004, Jennifer Hawkins had a very exaggerated walk in the swimsuit round and she won the competition! Although her presentation in this round got mixed reactions from fans, most people agreed that her distinctive walk helped her edge out the other ladies that night because the Top 5 questions/answers were all pretty weak. (Jennifer Hawkins) However, I then remembered Miss Universe 2005 when Elena Ralph (Miss Israel) was last to present in her swimsuit in the Top 10. Of all the ladies (aside from Puerto Rico who had a very edgy and diva-like presentation) Elena showed the most personality, charm, charisma and spunk. However, she placed 6th out of the Top 10 and just missed the Top 5 by one spot. (Elena Ralph) So why did the walks equate to victory for Jennifer (Australia) and Riyo (Japan) but not Elena (Israel)? Perhaps Australia and Japan as nations are seen as "safe" investments to MUO. Who knows? But all I can say is that there was some bias there. How does this tie in with Miss Egypt? Well, I've read posts talking about how Ehsan's presentations were on the demure side but I truly feel that even if she had come out with an exaggerated walk and a few hair tosses she would not have gotten any further in the competition because Miss Egypt will only place in the semi-finals IF and only IF MUO WANTS HER THERE. Face2Face has sent a variety of Miss Egypts to Miss Universe. All were gorgeous in their own way and had different personalities. Some were able to get more international exposure than others through the web (like Ehsan with her photogenic qualities and her first evening gown and Heba El-Sisy who is the only Miss Egypt to be in Global Beauties' Top 15). But when it was all said and done, not a single semi-finalist. Some may say that Miss Egypts are left out due to politics. Others can argue that Miss Egypts don't have the proper styling when they are at the event. But anyone can come up with any reason. Facts are facts and Miss Egypt has been completely shut out for 19 years and is one of only a handful of countries who have never cracked the semis at Miss Universe. I think the Middle East is no longer regonized as a region in "Miss Universe". The last Middle Eastern beauty (who was not a Miss Israel) was the exotic Julide Ates, Miss Turkey who placed 9th. Since then (17 years ago) no Miss Egypts or Lebanons have placed in the semi-finals. The last Miss Lebanon to place in the semis at Miss Universe was 34 years ago in 1973! (Miss Tukey 1990 is second from the right) This also comes down to another topic. Is the point of sending Miss Egypt to Miss Universe to place in the semis or TO WIN? I think back in the 70s, 80s and 90s being a semi-finalist had huge prestige because you got a lot of airtime and got a chance to compete in all three competitions (swimsuit, interview and evening gown). Now being a semi-finalist doesn't even have that much prestige attached to it. Someone who placed 13th at Miss Universe out of the Top 15 can only say, "Well, I got to walk in my swimsuit for 20 seconds and that's it." I think if spending tons of money on the Miss Universe franchise fee is being done then WINNING should be the ultimate goal. However, sadly to say, gone are the days when Georgina Risk won wearing sexy harem pants or even when a Miss Israel could take the crown. (Georgina Rizk) I am not trying to dismay Face2Face from sending Miss Egypts to Miss Universe or any other pageant. Face2Face is doing a great job with their ladies and they have been putting so much work and effort into their company, which shows. This is merely a topic of discussion and it would be interesting to see people's opinions. So, my final questions are: 1. Is being a semi-finalist enough? 2. Do you think a Middle Eastern beauty will ever win Miss Universe? 3. Is there a return on the investment of spending thousands of dollars to send a Middle Eastern beauty to Miss Universe? [ Post a Reply to This Message ] Replies: well a very interesting post, there are so many issues I would like to comment about, but lets just answer your questions. I think MUO has gotten us to the point that if we just placed we will be extremely happy! I mean comeon! we sure did great with some of the ladies and still they did not place. I agree that Miss Egypt preparation is not ebough at all! but still we deserved the spot once or twice. I remember when we really worked on two of our representatives, Arwa Gouda and Meriam George to ME, I remember Yousif Sepahi telling me that he is preparing them to be winners not to be semi-finalists! I do not think MUO is ready for a Middle Eastern Miss Universe! This shows how afraid they are, lol, well MW did it 5 years ago when Miss Yurkey won the Miss World crown! I d not know if there is any return on the investment, I only know that the national pageant is the event that generates the cash and thats it! (NT) -- fan-man, 07:10:24 06/09/07 Sat Although I think that placing in the semis is fun and would bring some pride to a national director I wouldn't call it an achievement, especially with how MUO is run now a days. Back in the day it was a great reward but now it's blah. MUO will lie and say by having a delegate parade in her swimsuit for 20 seconds in the semis, she will promote her country to the world.?????? I never understood that because it's a lie. There are always stunning ladies who don't end up in the semis so it can't be a real beauty competition if beauty is being substituted for money. (NT) -- Aiden, 22:48:49 06/09/07 Sat elena ralph placed 9th not 6th. (NT) -- ahmad, 17:43:42 06/09/07 Sat Apologies for the error but the fact is Elena was still very personable and was shafted. Heba El-Sisy was also full of personality and she didn't get into the Top 15 in 2004 either. I just wonder how many times this is has happened to Middle Eastern beauties for no justified reason. (NT) -- Aiden, 22:50:33 06/09/07 Sat 1) semi-finalist is enough if she isn't more beautiful than the winner 2)a middle eastern beauty will win someday, when the donald want's to make a political statement or the winning country has been in a favorable light with western powers 3) there is a return if the girl becomes a favorite (like miss greece this year) or a semi-finalist. other than that there is really no return but think of it as a paid vacation for the girl sent there as a prize for winning, or think of it as if you sent 5 girls and only 1 makes it its still good. (hope this makes sense) (NT) -- -halah-, 01:45:21 06/11/07 Mon I dont really know about politics, Egypt and the USA have great relations still we never placed! I think it has more to do with commercials and rates and stuff. (NT) -- fan-man, 10:50:08 06/11/07 Mon I think the fear is more about the "global reaction". I know that when Miss Israel won Miss Universe in 1976 the Miss Universe organizers were worried about her safety as they had to increase her security due to possible threats and attacks. I think a Middle Eastern beauty will never win the crown now because it is a logistical nightmare not just in terms of security but also in terms of marketability. If you look at the North American view of the Middle East you can't expect a Middle Eastern winner to sell products. Unfortunately, I don't think a semi-finalist placement is good enough now that the ladies get so little air-time and the prestige is gone. The investment is national pride but only if the nation is pageant crazy. (NT) -- Aiden, 13:20:37 06/11/07 Mon it's not about the relations between egypt and usa, it's about that donald trump hates the middle east like many americans, even if there is a good relation between us and usa, u didn't ask urself that israel had many semis, but why they didn't have a winner or a top five finalists uptil now since the 1970s, also lebanon didnt place since the 70s, egypt never placed at all, turkey since the 80s, cyprus never placed , and the bad relations with france made her never place for long, also the bad relations with venezuela made her never win since 1996, and i think mexico would be the last time to place, think about all of that (NT) -- Elmimo, 12:39:03 06/11/07 Mon That's right. Venezuela is in a similar boat because although they send prepared ladies and many place in the semi-finals and finals, a Miss Venezuela will never win because of the political agenda Hugo Chavez has in that country. But they are a pageant crazy country so they are content with placing because they have a long standing tradition. But I just feel that if anyone has an unfair disadvantage to WIN the title, they should save their money. After all, Miss Universe is not the best pageant there is anymore.

Subject: Snob Magazine Interview with Ehsan Hatem! Author: fan-man [Edit] Date Posted: 10:30:27 06/09/07 Sat (host-196.219.67.244.tedata.net/196.219.244.67) القاهرة ـ خاص "سنوب" ـ حاتم سعيد فتاة مصرية، والدتها أميركية، ساعدها الحظ في أن تكسب لقب ملكة جمال مصر لمدة عام. درست في القاهرة، في المدرسة الفرنسية لتنتقل بعدها إلى مدرسة سان جوزيف، من ثم دخلت مودرن سكول في سرايا القبة. بعد وفاة والدتها انتقلت إلى مدرسة الألسن، وبعد انتهائها من الثانوية العامة البريطانية، حاولت دخول الجامعة لكن لم يوفقها الحظ لظروف خاصة، فحصلت على دبلوم تدريس للأطفال وهي حالياً مدرسة لغة إنجليزية في معهد لغات بمدينة نصر. انتزعت إحسان حاتم لقب الملكة وجلست على عرش الجمال في مصر، ومع هذا تؤكد أن الأمر لا يهمها كثيراً، كما أن الصدفة لعبت الدور الأكبر في فوزها بالجائزة التي تحلم بها كل فتاة. إحسان ترى أن الجمال داخلي: "ثمة من يقولون إنني جميلة جداً وهذا الأمر لا يعنيني كثيراً، لأن أصحاب هذا الرأي لا ينظرون إلى ما هو أبعد. بالنسبة إليّ الجمال هو جمال الروح والجوهر". "سنوب" التقت الملكة الجديدة وسألتها عن سرّ فوزها باللقب والتاج. كيف تقدمت لمسابقة ملكة الجمال وهل كنت تخططين لها منذ فترة؟ ـ الموضوع جاء بالصدفة، ففي الوقت الذي كنت أعمل فيه بالتدريس حصلت على أربعة شهور راحة وعملت في أحد المحال، وهناك قابلت شخصاً يدعى عبد الرحمن قال لي: شكلك جميل في الصور وتصلحين للعمل كموديل. ذهبت بحسب نصيحته إلى مكتب Face-to-face، وهناك عرض عليّ مدير المكتب يوسف إسماعيل أن أشارك في مسابقة ملكة جمال مصر. في البداية اعتبرت كلامه نوعاً من المزاح، لأفاجأ بأنه يتحدث بجدّية، مع أنني اعتبرت أن الموضوع مستحيل لأسباب عدة أولها أن ملامحي غربية وأنطق اللغة العربية بطريقة غير متميزة. لكن عندما جاء وقت التقديم في شهر كانون الأول/ديسمبر تقدّمت على سبيل التجربة وعندما قبلوني ووجدت نفسي في قلب المسابقة فرحت كثيراً. وما هي الأشياء التي حرصت على فعلها منذ دخولك المسابقة كي تضمني الاستمرار فيها إلى آخر مرحلة من التصفيات؟ ـ عندما وجدت نفسي وسط المتسابقات، دار في ذهني مجرّد مشاركة و"خلاص" للحصول على خبرة فقط. وأول شيء فعلته هو أنني تعرفت إلى كل المتسابقات ثم تدرّبت على الرقص والمشي. لم أشعر أن الموضوع صعب لذلك تعاملت معه ببساطة وشعرت أنني أعيش لحظات لذيذة. ثمة انتقادات كثيرة تمّ توجيهها إليك عقب إعلان النتيجة من قبل عدد من المتسابقات، فالبعض قال إن في النتيجة تلاعباً لمصلحتك وإنك لست الأحقّ باللقب، فما ردّك؟ ـ كل سنة بعد إعلان النتيجة، يحدث الأمر نفسه ويقولون إن ثمة وساطة في الموضوع، وهذا غير صحيح تماماً وكل هذه الاتهامات باطلة لأنني أنا آخر واحدة كانت تتخيل أنها ستفوز باللقب. كيف تخططين للمرحلة المقبلة من حياتك؟ ـ أسعى الى الاشتراك في الأعمال الخيرية وقد اتفقت مع محمد العقدة للعمل معه في جمعية أولاد مصر، التي سأحاول من خلالها التنبيه إلى خطورة ظاهرة أولاد الشوارع. كما سأشارك في تطوير التعليم في بلدي ومحو أميّة السيدات. أعتقد أن عملي كمدرّسة سيسهم في أدائي للرسالة بشكل جيد! بعدما أصبحت الملكة، هل تفكرين في خوض تجربة التمثيل أو دخول عالم الفن؟ ـ الموضوع بعيد عن تفكيري تماماً في الفترة الحالية، لكن لو جاءني عرض جيد فسأقبله. لو أتيحت لك فرصة اختيار الممثل الذي سيقف أمامك فمن تختارين؟ ـ أختار اسماعيل ياسين لأنني أستمتع بحركاته، وطريقة تمثيله تعجبني كثيراً، فهو الشخص الذي كنت أتمنى أن أقف أمامه. وما هي هواياتك؟ ـ أحب الرياضة والرقص والغناء.

Other Arab countries expected to compete are Egypt, Lebanon and Sudan. Miss Earth is expected to accomodate the largest number of contestants this year with 132 countries taking place! Lets hope that the Egyptian representative, whoever she is, will repreat the 2006 victory! Good luck! [ Post a Reply to This Message ] Replies: Edgy fashion photos! Hope she does well! I notice a lot of Middle Eastern designers like to use that skin tone nylon fabric to create the illusion of floating beading and lacework on a the body. Here you can see the nude fabric wrinkling.

Subject: An Excited Miss Egypt! Author: Aiden [Edit] Date Posted: 00:54:02 06/10/07 Sun (CPE0060673d3213-CM014090001039.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com/72.141.2.252) I found this on a pageant site. It's so funny! 1953 - Miss Egypt, Marina Papaelia, was a sultry Greek-Egyptian brunette able to speak insults in 5 languages. After one night in the same hotel room with her, Miss Denmark, Ingrid Anderson, ran screaming into the hall and demanded a new room-mate. Miss Egypt then had the room all to herself, because no-one else would move in with her. Miss France, Denise Perrier was also harassed by Marina Papaelia. At the announcement of Miss Perrier as Miss World, Marina shrieked, "I think she stink!" 1953 - At a big luncheon with the press and photographers, 14 of the 15 contestants showed up conservatively dressed in simple dresses or suits. Miss Egypt, Marina Papaelia, appeared in a low-cut gown which fell off her shoulders as she rose to leave after the meal! Marina was a sexy knock-out but she was a bit too excited! LOL! Any idea if she is still living and what she is up to? If Marina is still alive, get her to be a judge at next year's Miss Egypt Pageant! [ Post a Reply to This Message ] Replies: i think she ended as a 2nd runner up and she screamed and fainted when they announced that, and eric placed antigone a winner in the following year for a reason about marina (NT) -- Elmimo, 02:31:45 06/10/07 Sun Actually the site twisted the story abit, Marina was heavy favorite for the crown before the final night, she seemed to have gained attitude during preparations and her roommate left the room because of that. Marina's beauty was so striking that Mr Eric Morely mentioned her in his book "The Story of Miss World" and described her as one of the most beautiful women ever competed for the Miss World crown! Marina was shocked when she was announced 2nd Runner-Up and she fainted, after the pageant she said the "I think she stink" statement about the winner. Im not sure what is she up to, but I agree I would love to see her now! (NT) -- fan-man, 02:32:36 06/10/07 Sun

Meet Miss World 1954, Antigone Constanda of Egypt. At left is her first runner-up, Karin Hultman of the USA, and at right is her second runner-up is Efi Mela of Greece. Antigone avenged the second runner-up status of 1953's Miss Egypt, the very vocal Marina Papaelia. According to Eric Morely's 1967 book, "The Miss World Story", Antigone was positively beaming when she won...and one of the first things she did was claim the victory not just for her country, but for Marina as well!

(NT) -- fan-man, 15:40:59 06/06/07 Wed i agree with you...i really hope that next time (judges are all EGYPTIANS)...i mean ..european , asians ..etc have different view of beauty than us...i hope that we egyptians choose our queen for once that we think should represent us just like lebanese judges ...miss lebanon doesn't allow to a non lebanese to judge in finals...why can't we do the same ??!!! we understand our culture and what egyptians think is beautiful (NT) -- just a girl, 17:02:51 06/06/07 Wed Actually I think Miss Egypt should be chosen by an International panel of judges with an Egyptian majority, it is the way done all over the world, Lebanon is weak in this point! I don't know why they never invite International judges, I think the last time was in 1997 when the Miss World organizer was a guest of honor. If we had an all-Egyptian panel Ehsan would have never won for example, not because she is undeserving, but just because she deosn't look Egyptian which is unfair! We are looking for an International beauty not only a domestic girl, I think we have chosen some very good winners! (NT) -- fan-man, 19:45:55 06/06/07 Wed well...she will be miss egypt!!! i mean it is us egyptians who should decide who to represent us!!! beside yeah ehsan , sarah shaheeh . meriam strong ones....but we would have more beautiful queens if we had egyptian pool...they choose beauty in their view....and in many cases it doesn't make us SATISFIED!!.. beside they won't care about egypt's look more than us...sure egyptians will put in their head that this girl represents their country but foreigners (ok she isn't representing us) and we ended with very weak queens sometimes!! let's make it EGYPTIAN next time and see what is our view of beauty not other's view (NT) -- just a girl, 20:07:08 06/06/07 Wed

Subject: Miss Egypt Tourism 2007! Author: fan-man [Edit] Date Posted: 17:02:14 05/30/07 Wed (NoHost/217.52.12.106) Now that Miss Universe is over, lets move to another issue. Face To Face decided that all the runner-ups will get a chance in International competitions. The beginning with...4th Runner-Up, Madonna Khaled. Madonna will be Egypt's first representative ever in Miss Tourism Queen International, the world's 2nd largest competition in terms of participating nations after Miss World. We will be covering Miss Tourism Queen International which will be held in China and the final will be on July 23rd. Good Luck Madonna! visit Madonna's contestnat page on Global Beauties: http://www.globalbeauties.com/tourismqueenintl/TQI07/tqi07_egy.htm Congratulations Madonna, this is probably the most important competition for Egypt because it is concerned with tourism. I hope you can represent us with honor. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] Replies: I like her.

(NT) -- Aiden, 22:29:31 05/30/07 Wed My god Aiden! we totally have the same way of thinking, lol! I totally agree, Madonna is a diamond in thr rough! and she looks alot like Meriam George when she was competing in Miss Egypt 2005! I even told her that and took a couple of pictures of her with Meriam! both are very beautiful ladies, but I hope Madonna could gain Meriam's experience in one month! Miss TQI is very hard this year, whoever makes it must be very deserving!

(NT) -- ME FAN, 23:08:18 05/30/07 Wed I REALLY wanna see Hoda representing Egypt too! I think Miss Intercontinental would be the best pageant for her, because the owner of the competition really liked her while judging in Miss Egypt, plus he is German! (NT) -- fan-man, 04:09:51 05/31/07 Thu Thanks for the photos fan-man! Madonna and Meriam could be sisters! They have such beautiful faces! It is true that MTQI will be a difficult pageant to place in but I think that Face2Face can do a lot in one month with Madonna. Her styling for Miss Egypt was already classy and beautiful. (NT) -- Aiden, 05:55:55 05/31/07 Thu two Arab nations participating in Miss TQI are Lebanon and Sudan! check them on GlobalBeauties.com (NT) -- fan-man, 16:58:44 05/31/07 Thu i have seen her on tv..she looks hundred times better than those pics...:))) but i hope she makes teeth work!

(NT) -- CreeKs (The Alexandrian), 06:49:15 06/01/07 Fri Face To Face decided that all the runner-ups will get a chance in International competitions.- Comment: This is a very intelligent move of the organization fan-man, not only are the girls utilize, you will also get to see how they fair in international competition and may eventually also be trained for Miss Universe. Alot of people will be happier and will encourage alot of girls (more gorgeous girls) to join next year since they can represent Egypt even if they did not win... just a thought (NT) -- Filipino fan, 05:06:18 06/02/07 Sat well Im not just saying that cause I am a friend of the organization, but I agree, I think the largest number of girls should represent Egypt, especially if they are beautiful. Imagine if we did like Lebanon where only the winner gets to go to Miss World and Miss Universe! We wouldn't have a chance to see such a beautiful girl like Yara, Sherihan, Radwa, and Madonna representing us! (NT) -- fan-man, 10:13:58 06/02/07 Sat why globel beauties removed Madonna from the list????? she's not going or what??? also they removed lebanon thanx god she looked ugly .. I think Face to Face has to work with the contestents more in (gym, catwalk, presentation ..etc) (NT) -- N-N, 17:01:06 06/02/07 Sat Madonna is STILL on the list. So is Lebanon. (NT) -- fan-man, 19:14:30 06/02/07 Sat well good luck madonna :) i hope u do well. just work on ur posture n ur strut and u will do great isa (NT) -- laila, 15:15:17 06/04/07 Mon

Pic 1: Ehsan fixing her "Egypt" sash backstage. Pic 2: "Ehsan Hatem. 21. EGYPT!" Ehsan looked really good and showed tons of confidence here! [ Post a Reply to This Message ] Replies: she sounded so confident! I liked it. (NT) -- fan-man, 00:33:34 06/02/07 Sat Did Ehsan come back from Mexico or not yet ? and what is she going to do after this competition? (NT) -- N....., 12:05:23 06/02/07 Sat Yes, Ehsan got back from Mexico yesterday. She will now continue her region as Miss Egypt and will probably represent Egypt in another International Beauty Pageant. She will also be involved into charity, modeling and many other activities.

Subject: MISS EGYPT 13 Years Ago in Manila - GHADA EL-SALEM Author: Aiden [Edit] Date Posted: 23:49:54 05/31/07 Thu (CPE0060673d3213-CM014090001039.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com/72.141.2.252) I took these images from the Miss Universe 1994 video, so excuse the blurriness. To me Ghada El-Salem is one of the strongest Miss Egypts ever and one of the best styled during the final night! Pic 1: Ghada standing before the microphone ready to announce "I'm Ghada El-Salem from the land of Pharaoh's Cairo, Egypt!" Pic 2: Ghada's preliminary scores in Swimsuit, Interview and Evening Gown. Pic 3: Ghada's reaction to Miss Colombia being the last semi-finalist to be called in the Top 10. Ghada looks stunning here! Very well styled! Pic 4: Miss Egypt and Miss Guam singing to the musical number "A Whole New World" from Disney's Aladdin. Enjoy!
