Miss Michigan Rima Fakih, First Arab American to Win Miss USA!

http://arabdetroit.com/news.php?id=1651

Arab American, Rima Fakih has won the Miss USA pageant. This is historical as she is the first Arab American to win the Miss USA title.

Miss USA 2009, Kristen Dalton, crowned her successor at the conclusion of the live broadcast.

The two-hour television event was comprised of 51 contestants (representing each state and the District of Columbia) who competed in three categories: swimsuit, evening gown and interview.

The award is given to the contestant who best exemplifies beauty through the lens of a camera. The winner of the online vote will be revealed during the live telecast.

Rima Fakih was born in New York to Lebanese American parents, and raised in Dearborn with her parents and her younger brother, Rami.

A graduate of St. John's Preparatory Catholic High School, she attended the University of Michigan-Dearborn where she earned her Bachelor of Arts degree in Economics with a minor in Business Administration.

Active in the campus community, she served her fellow students as class senator, in addition to acting as the president of the students in the school’s Free Enterprise Group.

Always reserving time for community service, Fakih spent much of her college years volunteering as a social worker through various community organizations.

Arab Detroit congratulates Rima and the Arab American community in Michigan and throughout the U.S.

Mabrouk!

Miss USA trying to gain publicity by going the Politically Correct route with this choice....get more media run due to her heritage. But, her answer to question was convoluted and even in her crowning comments she sounded doltish.

Wrong choice imo, Maine, Virg, Colo all hotter, seemed smarter too. But I'm a blonde's guy. so biased.

Hmmm, had Mich, Okl, Oreg, Cal, & Az as my Top 5 (no particular order...hell, almost impossible to rank as is) when just checking out the pics before the contest aired. Overall, one of the sexiest groups in awhile I think.
