NAZARETH, Israel — As make-up artists and hairdressers circle her, Huda Naccache calmly discusses the media frenzy sparked by her appearance, clad in a skimpy bikini, on the cover of an Arab-Israeli magazine.

The long-limbed 22-year-old, who comes from the mixed Israeli and Arab port city of Haifa, doesn't see the cover shoot for Lilac magazine as anything out of the ordinary.

For her, it was simply another part of a campaign in the run-up to the Miss Earth competition in Thailand this December, where she will represent Israel.

But the cover shoot was the first time an Arabic magazine here has put a model in a bikini on its cover, and the first time an Arab-Israeli model has been featured on a front page in so little clothing.

The image in question featured a defiant-looking Naccache in a black-sequined bikini, an open white shirt draped over her shoulders and her thumbs hooked in the sides of her bikini bottom.

"Miss Huda Rocks This Earth!" blared the caption in English.

Not the best photograph of her face...

[Bratch]

Agreed.

But you did mention her abdomen. ;)

[fieldmarshaldj]

Yes, I would love to zerbert her abdomen.

[GOPsterinMA]

I’d do Mitt before Rosie. At least he’s clean.

[JRandomFreeper]

I take back the TTIUWOP thing.

Someone give her a sammich. Give her some food.

Ewwwwdoggiez...if I woke up next to that face, I'd chew my arm off to escape.

[Rummyfan]

Nice bod, but the unibrow and the lips need some work!

[Moonman62]

It took me awhile to get there, but don’t look at her hands either.

[fieldmarshaldj]

You’d want to wreck her best part by fattening up her gut ? Eww.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Hard to tell, perhaps an awkward angle ?

[Bobalu]

That girl is NOT sexy.

At least not in that photo...

Is it Me!? Her face is uggy and she’s all blotchy.

[kelly4c]

At least she’s “real” and not all airbrushed and siliconed. Blotchy skin? Veiny legs yeah, but the rest of her skin looks fine to me, I’d rather have her so called blotchy skin than my own pale that shows all the red.
