Miss Lebanon 2013: Where Politicians Become Beauty Experts

When extended mandated MPs Alain Aound and Nayla Tueini , political talk show host Marcel Ghanem showed up on the judges’ panel among nine judges of which the Minister of Tourism’s representative Michel Habees was present as well; we all knew things were going to be weird.

To sum it up, LBCI’s news anchor Dima Sadek presented the show-undeniably professional and certainly a good change from the usual bimbos who host such events with continuous Arabic misspelling and catastrophic sense of humor- yet that was another sign to how political and far from beauty would this night be.

People got hooked on twitter yesterday night arguing if the new Miss Lebanon 2013 Karen Ghrawi was better looking than the previous Miss Rina Chibany or not, what they might have missed is that when politicians get to be named beauty pageant’s judges; no reliable results can be taken from such event.

Deciding on whether a good looking lady has what it takes to be Miss Lebanon has its specialists and known well oriented figures: call them up and get them to do what they’re best at.

Lebanese old sayings never go wrong : “ give your bread to the baker even if he’ll eat half of it.”
