Mmmm not bad at all.
Well of course not a stunner, but she has a class of her own.
Real Egyptian attractiveness. I like her hair and dress style.
Mabrouk

she isnt cuteeeee at all,.and she has nothing to do with the REAL EGYPTIAN ATTRACTIVINESS lebchris . Egyptians are 100 times better than her.

2a3ozoo billah...Someone ought to permanently glue an oxygen mask on the trout's face.

waleg,
why did you delete my comment??

Well I keep hearing Egyptian women are much better than this or that.
I heard it when Ehsan Hatem was elected, and now at Khadiga. How come we don't see those 100-time-better Egyptians?
Of course you would know better, and since I have never been to Egypt, and since the few Egyptian women I encountered are not better than these two, then you should know better.
However I will stick to my opinion pending seeing an Egyptian woman 100 times better than Ehsan or Khadiga.

U have seen many in the movies...be a bit more objective & logical.

Besides that it's not important, Mariam Fakhr il Deen was stunning but damaha kan beyoltosh God bless her heart. Lots of Egy's r funny as hell with the whitest of hearts & that's all that matters (even if they r a bit too hot tempered at times). I don't know why u people compete on looks it's pathetic.

If u r top in terms of looks then it means u r deficient in personality because God makes us all equal in one way or the other. Well, I say God & made but this is in question nowadays. Same goes for power, if u have that then u will be lacking in respect. If you’re beautiful then u r either boring or lacking in sense of humour. And so on…

It’s rare rare rare 2 find people who can combine looks& personality. And even so looks will eventually fade, u might get ill, u might be in an accident & all you’ll be left with is whatever it is u have grown inside yourself. So stop sh*t stirring.

I have seen many in the movies 40 to 20 years ago.
Come one be real man, you are still using Mariam Fakhreddine as an argument who looks more Hungarian than Egyptian (Her mother was Hungarian) you know and now is nothing more than a senile old bag.
And no one asked you for your complicated essay on looks and hmour. I was precise in specifying the 100 times better looking Egyptian women whom, you have to admit, are quite lacking in your movies and TV programs.
The best according to me are Mona Zaki and Yasmine Abdel Aziz whom on the "stunner scale" rank as cuties at best.
Beauties abounded in Egyptian cinemas decades ago though European-blooded ladies (Such as Nadia Lotfi, Mervat Amine, Layla Elwi) are not, at least for me, a real indicator of native Egyptian beauty.

miriam ... because it was offensive!

Yes she is very good looking and looks quite regal. However her lips need to be glued together. When will ladies learn that inflated collagen lips are not attractive??
Yasmine Abde Alaziz is Adorable.

Yes and Haifa's mother is Egyptian. So stop changing the rules for Egyptians. If a leb is half and half as in Salma, Shakira...then u parade & cry about the fact that they r lebs. Mervets dad is Egyptian, Youssra's dad is Egyptian, Hend's dad is Egyptian, Laila's dad is Egyptian, Shadia's dad is Egyptian…Looking native is irrelevant. You do not even know what Nefertiti looks like to say who and who doesn't look native. Did she creep up into your dreams and give u an explanation of how Egy's r meant 2 look? Do Americans look native? No they don't but we still classify them as Americans and they r not an old civilization. The fact is they have Egyptian blood...Get over it. Arab men like to marry Non-Arabs or from different Arabic countries, get over it. How silly of u to debate in such a one-sided way. 7elw leekom and we7ish le gherkom. Nadia Lotfi without hair dye looks like any Egyptian. How superficial 2 assert that coz of her fake hair colour she does not look native enough.

I don't even like movies, but u r bringing it down to that & miss world... As far as I am concerned I am happy for beautiful women to wear higab & have a life beyond looks.

And this is a forum...do not tell me what to say and what not 2 say. I'll say what I wish as long as it's with respect & reason. No one asked your opinion either. What an attitude!

She's not an old bag...do not discriminate u ageist. One day u will be old too.

as far as im concerned this topic is about khadiga NOT to steroeotype what Egyptian women look like. A human is a human!! ANd as already established, its really the inside that u'll be left with over time.
Once som1 says Egyptian women and bla bla, there comes all these patriotics trying to establish how their women look better....WOW 3al mokh

Thanx masreya. It's refreshing to know that some people here have functioning brain cells.

LOL

Ihsan Hatem was not on the top 15 in miss universe. Khadiga is not pretty at all, but of course money make the miracles, since she's rich and wealthy she has to look good no matter what, but still she need alot of work, but we have to remember hat she is 24 and her husband 42, almost 20 years younger than him. wow

See, YOU are implying that our women look better not us.
So it is YOU guys who have issues and complexes.
What brings Haifa into this? Haifa is pretty, especially after plastic surgery and lenses but in NO WAY looks Lebanese, she looks Arab Egyptian though her father is Lebanese. She happens to be an attractive and sexy woman with a Lebanese passport and probably some Lebanese genes but by no means looks Lebanese.
Shakira looks to me rather Colombian and NOT beautiful mind you. Salma Hayek looks more Lebanese than Haifa.
Believe me I know what I am talking about since I am Lebanese and live in Lebanon and know what we really look like.
So looking native is irrelevant you say?
So why are we having this discussion in first place.
I just wanted to know why don't we see Egyptian stunners anymore and you embarked on another of your pointless, aimless and contrived essays.
Of course you cannot compare the Americans a recent population made up of 80% of white Europeans who came from just about everywhere mixed with native indians, black, asians, latins etc, with a rooted country like Egypts with millenia of history and human presence.
I thought the drawings found in the Pyramids and archeological excavation are supposed to provide an insight about what native Egyptians looked like. An d believe me in none of the depictions I saw I have seen a Maryam Fakhreddine lookalike!
So my dear you are the one who are taking up the one-sided approach in the debate.
Oh and about Nadia Lotfi (Real name Paula of a Polish mother) in her oldest movie she always had blond hair. Even dying it pitch black the woman does not even look Mediterranean! But I guess your vision is warped like your mind.
As for Miss World, the only one you have, is of course Greek. Antigone Costanda does not really sounds Egyptian to me.
You like your women to wear veils? Well that is your opinion and culture that I cannot fully understand since I don't have it where I live, but from what I saw in Egypt, you beautiful women shoot to stardom, shoot quite indecent film scenes, then at a certain point in time they get illuminated and wear the Hijab.
Very honest.
Oh now I am ageist too???
Heheheh I mean each time you write you prove one more what a complexed person you are. Pitiful.

So back to my question, how come we do not see anymore Egyptian stunners?

hmm very unattractive..
how the hell did he choose her..I guess he chose brains, personality, and charm over looks..

a lot of egyptian girls in my school look like her..

A very beautiful woman is political analyst Maria Maalouf..now this is a beautiful women...she is dead sexy...and intelligent....to have both is rare in the middle east....

I mean in the blad al sham they are a lot of beautiful women....but only a handful are as articulate and astute as Maria...

Actually no one was comparing looks or countries until you brought it up Masreya, however you are totally right, this is about Khadiga and nothing else.
However I have to respond to George's comment.
George, Maria maalouf is pretty although sometimes looks bloated. Articulate and astute? No sorry.
Watching the woman pose her questions in proper Arabic(fous7a) is cringe worthy, she makes so many mistakes, you feel embarassed on her behalf and you wonder how she became a presenter of a political program. Also her nasal and whiny voice detracts from her beauty.
Bilad ElSham and the Middle East have much more intelligent women ya George. Is she a real political analyst? Hmmmmm
Cheers anyway.
I didn't know that Shadia's mother wasn't Egyptian. What was she? Not that it really matters.
Ehsan was really beautiful, but her body was not toned, too pale and she looked quite shy, still better looking than some of the top 15 in MU.
It is so true that beauty is in the eye of the beholder! Cleopatra is said to be less of a conventional beauty as they picture her in recent movies. God knows what beauty standards they held back then, but today she would not be described as beautiful.

S.M.S Speaking of Cleopatra, even she was not a native Egyptian. Obviously she has a Greek name, and second she was the descendant of the Greek Ptolemaic dynasty who ruled Egypt for centuries.
Research proved that this dynasty, although taking up the Pharaohs apparels, looks and facade, they did not genetically mix with the native population.
She even had Roman lovers but Egyptians are not mentioned at least in historical record.

So since native beauty does not exist, and since Mediterranean countries are known to be mixed genetically by virtue of mutual conquests between north and south, east and west, this has become a competition of whose genetic mixture is better than the other right? ;)

Hello,
Please tell me what is the nationality of the mothers of Yousra, chadia and mirvat amine.
Thanks

Ehhh :D. I wonder what are your thoughts on Maria Maalouf lebchris???

Mmmm Maria Maalouf. I have mixed feelings about this one, but definitely to the unfavourable side.

She is pretty no doubt. First time I saw her, she seemed to me an unrefined copy of Monica Bellucci. I mean the features, the fair skin, the dark hair the Mediterranean appeal. Her chubbiness and her not-so-stylish sense of dressing were going against here.
However, even when they revamped her look the substance remained the same.
She lacks femininity when she interviews her guests. She is always on the offensive and not pleasing to watch.
When she speaks Arabic she is artificial and lacks grace.
Since NTV is not among my favorite stations, especially these days, I tend to forget who Maria Maalouf is and she obviously does not figure in my list of the Lebanese queens of political talk shows or debate moderators namely Gisele Khoury and Maguy Farah.
Maria has the looks and the ambition, but I think she must undergo some training to improve and maybe talk more Lebanese to add some naturalness to her robotic performance.
To sum it up, I share the same opinion as yours ;)

And for you George
I have not visited any Middle Eastern country so I cannot confirm or counter your opinion but I can definitely speak of the Lebanese women.
Though the current image of the Lebanese woman is that of a plastic doll only interested in trivial matters, the truth is the universities of Beirut abound with gorgeous women with high intelligence and successful careers.
I went to the Jesuit university of Beirut and met there countless extremely beautiful young ladies who graduated and earned more money than their own husbands.
I went to the same campus the same year as Nadine Labaki and Carole Samaha for instance.
The former is not only one of the most successful directors in Lebanon but a real and natural beauty as well. As for Carole, in addition to her good looks, nice body and her high intelligence, she knew well how to manage her vocal and acting talent and present a good example of a pop Lebanese artists without being cheap.

Wow judging what a whole society looked like from 2-dimensional images. Now that's intelligence 4 u when we can't even decide what existing people look like.

I am not implying anything! I'm open to debate but not to bitter behaviour. I will never agree with u on plastic surgery & u can continue to claim that people use the ‘u have plastic surgery line’ as an excuse but yes your society takes advantage of it more than any other Middle-Eastern/ East European/ Asian country. I'm very anti-plastic surgery regardless of who it is for & I have many reasons 2 be against it; one being the lack of doctors there are for serious cases such as heart, brain...surgery, and the incredible lengths of waiting lists for people who have problems with organs etc. The take-away nature of plastic surgery with the huge amount of docs in this field also means that the charge for plastic is nothing in comparison to cases where lives are at risk. If u want your nose done then u r in and out and finito. It's an issue riddled with human values but u don't seem to care about that. Perhaps u've had something done who knows. Your entire thought process seems to be 'so long as it improves them' rather than let them go and deal with their inner demons before considering changing Gods given creation. I thought u were a Christian!

U need to venture out of Lebanon. You seem to be stuck in a shell 2 be honest. Mind u, u r desperate 2 get out so here’s to waiting 4 the opportunity.

I always classified myself as a citizen of the world, a temporary one. But you're way of thinking would make anyone justified in becoming against you and your belief system. Rabinah Yeshfy. You are lacking in tolerance greatly my dear and very motakaberra (nose in the air). I think this is the view of most people here...you're snotty, sort it out rather than ignore it.

If u have no idea about higab then don't venture in2 talking about it. Only God knows what lies in each person’s heart so do not even attempt to belittle those who choose it as a lifestyle.

You are ageist ya gahla. Calling anyone an 'old' bag is a statement against their elderly age, u don't have to be a genius to figure it out either. I can't believe how shallow u r. I used to do voluntary work for the elderly, many of whom were difficult but with issues, so u have no right at all to call anyone an old bag. Google the phrase instead of spending time researching every woman’s roots and background.

Here’s 1 instance 4 u:

To someone nice- Yes s.m.s. Shadia's mum is/ was Turkish so far as what I heard Allah yer7amha. Shadia khalas she is not seen, not heard, nothing. She tried to buy all her old movies many years ago but failed.

Typooo
*your

AHAAHAH SAAAAM
Another contrived, aimless pointless essay.
I think you have verbal diarrhoea, just writing for the sake of writing and talking nonesense in the end.
You did not answer my very simple question and you launched a preaching tirade about tolerance, venturing out of the country (AAHAHAH That is a good one, considering I am married to an Italian and travelling each two months to somewhere new and having worked for the UN) and god knows what.
I said I cannot understand the Hijab as it is not part of my native culture but I do not fight against it.
Anyway it is a fact that most of your actresses wear the Hijab after becoming old bags or after leading a quite indecent life. I say MOST. Now don't preach about the few exception.
Anyway it is useless to debate with you.
I rest my case.
Next time do me a favor and ignore my post, or give a three line RELEVANT answer. I wish they sell pills for verbal diarrhoea eheheh, in the mean time try to re-read your post and check them for relevancy before making a fool of yourself.
Yalla sallimly 3al batengan ya wala

Didn't answer coz I am skim reading whatever u say so don't know the question. Doing about 10 assignments at once so I'm in a writing mood. You're being hypocritical considering u like to write a lot too, nothing new though.

Nah I have heard u talk about Higab before in other topics, don't act innocent suddenly. You lack a lot of respect. No point in re-reading your posts or reading it aslan...fuelled by hatred & female venom.

So now we know that there r many sides to your discrimination. Looking forward really to seeing the next attack.

Why r u typing out laughter? Sado. I like bitingan...what's that got 2 do with anything? Anyhow like I said Rabinah yeshfy. God have mercy on your kids.

Higab has nothing to do with being native, stop banging on about native this and native that. Christianity has always depicted Mary with full higab and nuns wear their own style of Higab. Many Jews cover their hair with wigs or scarves when they worship in temples. Likewise for Hindus and Sikhs...2al native 2al. Seriously u remind me of a vampiress, fitting image. Lebchris the Vampiress...rhymes too; happy days.

Pathetic again. A bit of improvement however in the word/second count.
Yalla Sam go to sleep and give us a brak.
I rest my case!

Typo 4 u...break.
U r not us...u r u, single.

Thought u were gonna ignore me? Can't resist can u, u cheeky beggar u.

Tell u something though, u r revealing a bit too much about your life, too much 2 go on now. I thought the Stalin's family comment was a bit misplaced after I wrote it but yep...making sense suddenly.

Surprise, surprise! Your word-count has improved too, immediately after mine. U know what they say…Great Minds think Alike.

OMG will it always end with Egyptians VS Lebanese!!!!!!

It started out about khadija!!!!! and i don think she is stunning but not horrible looking either! mabrook leehom!

but

did it ever ocur to u that it could be Egyptians and Lebanese!!!!

wake up people!!! there will always be the good and the bad in each country!! no one is superior!! stop making fools out of urselves trying to look all better! gosh!!

instead of writing ur posts lebchris u can do something more useful things to ur country that u love so much!!! and the same to SAM!!! aw balash do something usefeul to urselves!!

stop putting EGYPT and LEBANON in a debate and waste ur time researching irrelevant matters to prove ur points.

GOD BLESS EGYPT
GO BLESS LEBANON
GOD BLESS YOU ALL PEOPLE!

PEACE

oh my GOD!!!
You both are pathetic ..wait i have to write this:one egyptian guy and another lebanese guy like you both are making a chat:
*Lebanese:Have you seen Miss Universe?
*Egyptian: Yeah....She is not so pretty..Egyptian Girls are hundred times BEAUTIFUL
*Lebanese:Yeah So are Lebanese girls..no way to compare to that MISS ..Egyptians ..mmm..may be...!
*Egyptian:MAY BE..you must be kidding..You watched our beautiful girls since past since pharaohs even
*Lebanese:Yeah but many of them are mixed ..No offence
*Egyptian:Oh please..!!!mixed or not they are NATURALLY STUNNING..sorry pal no offence to you..but almost ur lebanese so called stunning are PLASTIC .i have some lebanese celebrities pics before surgery...they weren't cute at all!! no much natural stunning girls
*Lebanese: Oh REALLY...I have met extremely beautiful women in a party
*Egyptian:SO!!...I have seen VERY very stunning women in the a special beach
*Lebanese:Oh LOOK TO THOSE 2 GORGEOUS GIRLS OUT THERE !!I bet you with 50 dollars they r LEBANESE
*Egyptian:Make them 100 BCOS I AM SURE THEY R EGYPTIANS
(both go to the 2 girls and then asked for their nationality)
*2 GIRLS:..oh sorry ..i am from el maghreb el arabi and my friend is from khaleej!!!

..oh my god...aren't YOU ASHAMED??You both walk in street looking to girls
..HEY WE ARE MORE THAN A BEAUTIFUL FACE ..WE ARE HUMANS!!!!!why girls don't fight about whose guys are prettier!!!

You know I met ur kind...believe me....i advice u to change ur way...bcos we notice and u don't wanna know what we girls say about your kind!!

Sorry before talking about girls..look to urselves and ask urself what would make a stunning girl thinks about you??????and by the way I am PRETTY GIRL...and I feel I wanna vomit when i see some guys look at me in street or college or during talking....HOW PATHETIC U R...People go and try to make something good for ur countries not to be proud of ur women's beauty

I never said anything against a nation or its peoples; actually I would prefer that we recognize equality. But it's difficulty when some people constantly provoke with 3end. But on the whole I agree with u Egygirl86.

Anyways I'm off to buy double-sided sticky tape now-wohoo!

Before I go:

SomeGirl

We r both female. But fair enough.

ok..this is an example of cosmetic surgery gone wrong!!
she looks terrible...
and arab men love arab women, and only marry non-arab women to go to europe and west.
i mean gosh, im arab and living in europe and i still get stared at, ppl tell me there im attrative cause im paler..and cause im mixed.
arab women are beautiful and i know loads of beautiful arab girls and women, european and western women are the ugly ones wallah!!

I wasn't meaning u SAM..in the first time...I am just seeing comments of lebchris against every thing and any thing ?? this guy is totally airheaded doesn't care except for Beautiful women and his personal history!!!!
I am egyptian just like you...and sam..we don't need to prove we are beautiful bcos they know we are!!!!i am beautiful he likes it or not..and i know stunning girls ..and the most beautiful girls i have seen are in egypt....so i don't need to reply some one like him..cheer up

You would do me a great favour if you don't reply.
You just made my day!
Khayy shou helo, zahto 3al mawjeh

lebchris- why do you have to give us your whole life story??? who cares if you're married to an Italian!!!

LOL!

Sam has some very intelligent things to say- very democratic and rational, and you should take heed of what she says, essays or no essays, it looks like she's trying to get some sense into that brain of yours!

Sometimes the truth hurts, doesn't it???!!???
But what makes us the better person is taking the advice one's given and use it!

:D

LEBCHRIS IS MARRIED!!!
no wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy...oh my god...i am so shocked on u..are u cheating on her? looking to other women is just like cheating? pal u can't look to any woman except ur wife ...shame on you!!another ques? u seem so fanatic on any topic for lebanese girls ? why did u marry an italian?!

thanks Me...I know arab men find european women are (BEAUTY QUEENS) while they can look average..u can see almost arab female celebrities put lenses and change their hair colour to look european!!! for example for centuries egyptian cinema was for (european looking egyptian actresses mainly) even miss egypt this year (yeah she is beautiful) but she doesn't arab at all

Stupid Somegirl
I am a female.
Thank you for bringing up more of your personal complexes each time you write.
You discredit yourself by yourself.
I just sit, watch and laugh my heads out.
Plus Taz. So what if I said I am married.
Are you a spinster?
SAM the wiseass was asking me to venture out of my Lebanese bubble, an I just broke the sad news that I am married to a non-Lebanese and spend my life travelling.
Is it too hot for you to handle?
I mean how pathetic can one get.
Go get a life dudes and dudesses

SAM - Im glad we r on the same page =) egyptians click i guess lol..

someGIRL - I totally agree girl.. with a great defense of lebanese girls.. he married an italian.

WOW!

WOW ur a girl.. to be honest with u i wudnt have ever thought u r!!

Aahaah
People are still assuming I am a male.
Ubelievable.
Enough for today.
Here in Italy sun sets late, I am going to put on my bikini, take a couple of chilly Lebanese beer bottles and go with my hubby and friends to the nearby beach to relax.
Yalla bye, see you tomorrow with more of your stupidities.

well..how the hell i know u r a female...??
i thought sam a guy too and u i thought ur name is Chris!!!!any way i am sorry ...girl ...beside....one sec..are u beautiful ur self? i don;t care if others are stunning...i care about MYSELF...u can't say my friend is beautiful , smart ..etc...u have be proud of urself..i mean what u made in ur life? where is ur own success ??.i like to look beautiful no others look beautiful..beside u seem nice sometimes...why u get angry easily?

another thing...my ex boyfriend is lebanese...so i have nothing against lebanon at all...ok

(No prob... Gender confusion can occur on this blog.
I am deemed pretty, but then again beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. Who cares. Contrary to what you all think I am very funny and nice person, and I think my inner fun reflects more to the outside.
I have achieved a few things in my life I can be prou d of especially career wise. I hope that satisfies your questions. As for having an ex Leb boyfriend, I pity you LOL. They are complexed. Don't like much Lebanese guys. Identity problem. Behave modern then they want a virgin to marry.
Europeans are much better). Gotta go Ciaooo

Spinster???

Nope. Undoubtedly i'm younger than you, and with more brain cells- Alhumdulillah.

Why do people think you are a man???- it's because you keep rating women and people don't find your comments to be interesting enough to take note that you are a female- (you are female aren't you??!!) ;)

And another thing- why do you keep bullying people, "stupid...spinster...wiseass" (you can't even spell!)??? You're the one who needs to get a life...start by trying to have decent conversations with others.

:D

bye bye lebchris...nice to talk to you...now u seem what i think a nice girl but gets angry easily (me too)..beside i agree alittle about my lebanese guy (i wished ur warning was before loving him) .he got angry if i said just hi to a guy..that didn't make us get on...by in any other way HE WAS GREAT...

EgyGirl86 nice to meet a wise nice girl in my age,,i was borin 1989

sorry i mean in 1986

Lebchris and Sam are women???? :SS
Wallah I thaught they were men! LOL
Anyway, I want to congratulate Sam for his humanity and sense of thinking. Always good comments, somtimes too long :p.

Faysal.

ugh!!. This site is becoming boring everyday ...
Waleg,
Do u really care about EACH PRESIDENT SON'S WIFE or it is just Egypt ?!!! I dun get it ?!!
Why do u alwayz argue about it ..?
I am not gonna waste my time reading those priceless comments.. I have maaaaaaaaaaaaaany labanese friends and we love eachother till death i dun want to hate them because of the way some Annoying visitors here write..
Waleg show other pictures of Syria , lebanon q8 and many others president son's and lets argue about it ... Why on earth should u publish this ?!!.. This is khadija so wt ?!! .. Beautiful or not so WT?!! WHO CARES?!.. Mabrouk to them w 5alasss.

WOOOW lebchris

you shocked the living SH&^T out of me...you continue to shock and surpisre me...but the fact that you were a girl ... whoaaaaaaaa

I didn't think that for a single mili-second that you were a girl .. I thought I was conversing with a die-hard nationalist lebanese guy

sh^T ...SAM is also a girl :) :) :) ...whoa you guys !!!!!! ......I'm in my university library right now...and you've really surprised me..!!!!
because all the strong leb/syrian/palestinian nationalists are all guys!!!!
sorry...but...... the way you were typing your words and defending your country and religion

you really sounded like a guy...

but then ...an italian guy...what a huge shocker...
seriously...the way you talk about women you really sounded like a guy...

anyways it doesn't matter if you're a girl.........or if you married an italian guy......italians , greeks and levantines...are from the same mediterreanean family tree..seriously.......

and egygirl...even if lebchris is married (SHE!!!!!!!) can still rate other girls or guys....to rate someone doesn't mean you have to love or have an emotional commitment to them..

anyways ...lebchris since you are such a huge contributor to WALEG and a loyal "waleger" ...and all the info you have provided to us about yourself..YOU HAVE TO PROVIDE US (now) WITH A PHOTO OF YOURSELF ........and write an article alongside with the photo

I don't think WALEG authorities are going to mind
ciao

George.
