...soirée for Cairo's well-heeled set, yet tonight there's more than the usual Middle East-meets-West twist. The revelers are here to toast an unlikely creative marriage, between Egyptian artist Azza Fahmy, who has spent decades reviving Arab jewelry traditions, and British designer Julien Macdonald, whose dresses are worn by London's party crowd...
...white jacket, satin shirt and suede shoes, Macdonald looks ready for a night of clubbing. Eager to push herself as an artist, Fahmy approached Macdonald with the idea of working together in 2006. Macdonald jumped at the chance. Since then, Fahmy has released two Azza Fahmy for Julien Macdonald collections in London and the pair are discussing further collaborations.

Toward the end of the movie he's convinced the villagers of the need...
...Here's what you have to ask about scene stealers: Are they funnier than the star characters because they're not on screen as long? Alex, Marty, Gloria and Melman all have the heavy lifting of story lines; Julien and the penguins (and a couple of cranky monkeys who serve as the movie's Statler and Waldorf) have only to shake their shtick, deliver their bright lines and get off.
