>Let me first start by saying that Meriam George has
>stolen my heart! Her photos in the final night speak
>for themselves. She is a goddess. My only wish was
>that she looked like this during the Miss Universe
>competition. Don't get me wrong, she was gorgeous in
>Thailand but her styling now looks so refined and
>royal. Best of luck to her! She will do great things.
>
>A big congratulations should go out to Fawzeya and her
>court of Runner-Ups. She will have a great year as
>the new Queen of the Nile and she should be very
>proud! Good luck to her in L.A.
>
>My advice to Face2Face, Mr. Yousef Spahi and any of
>the other stylists who will be helping Fawzeya prepare
>for Miss Universe.
>
>1) Create a very rigorous work-out program. Miss
>Universe is no longer about brains first and body
>second. It's 99% looks. Many of the other delegates
>have already been crowned so they have had more time
>to work out and prepare their bodies.
>
>2) Pick a "supermodel" evening gown and by this I mean
>something that elongates the body and something
>Fawzeya can walk in very fast as if she is on a
>fashion runway. In the last few years Miss Universe
>has used quick music for the Evening Gown competition
>and many of the ladies with flowing skirts who are
>able to walk faster to the music get higher scores,
>while the ladies who walk very slow because they have
>tight skirts look awkward. Also, don't go too
>cultural on the evening gown...Meriam's gown last year
>was a work of art but it was not a runway gown. Also
>bring 2 gowns to L.A. so that if Fawzeya makes the
>semi-finals then she can wow and shock everyone with a
>new gown that nobody has seen before!
>
>3) Give Fawzeya a make-over (hair and make-up) so that
>when she lands in Los Angeles she can shock and
>surprise everyone! So far people have seen the
>pictures of most of the delegates so they know what to
>expect. Make their mouths drop when they see Fawzeya.
>
>4) Tell Fawzeya to be very extroverted and outspoken
>like Heba El-Sissy in MU 2004. Miss Egypt has to get
>noticed by speaking up and calling attention to
>herself.
>
>5) In terms of runway walk, Miss Egypt should have a
>signature walk, that is a walk that no other lady will
>have. Miss Puerto Rico (the diva) and Miss Israel
>(very sassy) had this during the final swimsuit round
>in Thailand last year. The signature walk will make
>Miss Egypt get noticed on stage and will separate her
>from the others who all walk the same.
>
>6) Fawzeya should try to make people laugh when she
>is in L.A. Making the interview judges and the
>audience laugh during the final night (if she makes
>Top 5) will get her the support she needs. If the
>crowd supports her then there is no way they can't
>give her the crown. Look at last year. Miss Canada
>was facially the least attractive looking in the Top 5
>but she won the crowd over in the interview and she
>took the crown. The Miss Universe Organization always
>makes the crowd happy...the crowd is the real judge
>and they heavily influence the decisions made by the
>hired judges for the event.
>Please know that getting into the Top 15 is very hard.
> Why?
>
>Paula Shugart is friends with some of the other
>pageant organizers/directors who send delegates,
>namely: Magali Febles (Puerto Rico and Dominican
>Republic), Osmel Souza (Venezuela), Denis Davila
>(Canada) and the director of Miss Trinidad and Tobago.
> Miss USA is also run by Paula Shugart so that
>explains how Chelsea Cooley made the Top 10 last year.
> The reason why you see these countries make it almost
>every year is because the above mentioned pageant
>directors PAY A MUCH HIGHER FRANCHISE FEE to Paula
>Shugart than other countries do. It has been made
>public that Venezuela's franchise fee to the Miss
>Universe Organization is about US$70,000 per year and
>in turn they tend to make it every year (2004 was the
>exception). So even when their ladies aren't that
>attractive a spot in the semi-finals/finals is paid
>for.
>
>So if you look at the Top 15, some spots (even as I
>type this message) will be already taken due to
>pageant politics and friendships behind closed doors.
>Miss Egypt's goal is to get one of the spots that is
>given to the surprise/dark-horse girls. Last year
>these spots went to: Israel and Switzerland.
>Indonesia doesn't count because she had too many
>politics surrounding her and they wanted her to
>liberate herself on stage.
>
>I have confidence that Fawzeya can do it but I think
>this year the delegates overall are superior than last
>year's so the competition will be stiff. But just make
>sure Fawzeya has fun, she enjoys herself and that she
>works hard and stays positive. If she can create a
>buzz like Heba did in 2004 I think she will have a
>huge shot at landing in the Top 15 and maybe even
>higher!
>
>Good luck and Congratulations!
