Alisar Ailabouni, a 20-year-old Syrian girl who lives in Austria, has been elected German Top Model 2010, at a mega-event hosted by German supermodel Heidi Klum at the Cologne Lanxess Arena and attended by 15,000 spectators.

Alisar was born in Damascus before moving with her family to Europe, where she was raised in Mattighofen in upper Austria. She is a tall, slender, and dazzling chestnut haired beauty whose hobbies include horseback riding,

basketball, and skating. She now plans on making it big in the modeling business, having been crowned Top Model from among 23,000 contesters. Ailabouni has already signed up to appear on the cover of the German edition of Cosmopolitan Magazine after yanking the Top Model title from her predecessor, German-Ethiopian model, Sara Nunu.

Her win comes only a month after Beirut-born Rima al-Faqih became Miss USA 2010. It shows that Arab beauty rules the world over!
