Big Thumbs Up For Middle Eastern Women!

                                            

To this, I say, it’s about time. A 24-year-old Arab American from Michigan took the 2010 Miss USA title Sunday night, despite stumbling in her evening gown. Rima Fakih of Dearborn, Michigan, won the pageant at the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino in Las Vegas after strutting confidently in an orange and gold bikini, wearing a strapless white gown that resembled a wedding dress and saying health insurance should cover birth control pills (I thought it did already, but hey, what do I know). When asked how she felt about winning the crown, she said, “Ask me after I’ve had a pizza.” (Maybe had she eaten that pizza before the pageant, she would have had enough energy to prevent the stumble. Regardless, congratulations Rima, you make me want to sport my dark hair color again.)
