Beauty....

The Miss Arab World 2007 had a Libyan contestant. Was there a pageant here in Libya to choose her? I wonder what Miss Tripoli looks like? or Miss Benghazi, or Miss Sebha.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder... Beauty is only skin deep - my father always replied with 'But ugly is straight to the bone!' LOL

    Do u know that miss beaty is originally libyan competition?? that was long back in history, before islam,where they had a day for celebration each year and they choose the lovelest in the crowd, and hand her the crown. This was recorded by Herodots " the historian". and then europe embaraced that.

    Interesting outfits they wore for that competition! Look at this one:

    Miss Arab World 2007 Show (Lebanon)

    She looks just like a Byzantine princess from about 1000 years ago.

    Most of those women are really beautiful. A couple, not so much but I won't say who (*cough* Egypt, Saudi Arabia *cough*)

    I knew it Craig, you would be one of the first few to leave a comment when there are beauties around! I was about to say that you would be smiling from ear to ear after looking at the pics and you beat me to it!

    She is not bad at all. Then again, I like Arab women anyways, assuming she is an Arab and not Berber.
