I don't think that's a fair picture of Glebova. There are plenty of non-airbrushed pics of her online better than this. Most of the MU coverage was full of candid photos of her! Everyone takes a weird picture sometimes... even Meriam. I'm not 100% satisfied that she won, but there's no denying that she's a deserving girl. Congrats, Canada! -- Pantene Miss Egypt 2005

[> [> Subject: Hi I am the original poster and the idea of the post was not to take away from Natalie's victory. She is indeed gorgeous, as is Meraim and the other 79 delegates! But as I am from Canada I know that Ed Domingez (The Global Beauties WebMaster) did help train Natalie Glebova and that he told a few ppl that he wanted her to win the prize of Miss GB Photogenic so they swayed the judges to choose her. This is not about Natalie's beauty (she looks great). Rather it's about professional honesty and morality.
