Feeling Beautiful in -AZUL- Electra

-AZUL- Electra



A dazzling creation from Mami Jewell of -AZUL-. The Electra gown, designed for ChloeElectra Resident, the short front and extended train is fun flirty and sexy. this gown is all mesh! I mixed in the sleeves from -AZUL-SHINO in Ruby. to add that whimsical flair. The shoes are nude which I love, and gives that long legged look. I'm in love with this gown! It's just as beautiful as it's creator and it's name sake.

Water Fantasy in -AZUL- Anais

My creativity is flowing today, after trying on the gorgeous -AZUL-Anais in Aqua. Inspired by the color blue, I think... hmmm water? I contemplate this carefully as water raises the level of difficulty in an on location photo shoot. Then I think.. why not?! Let's go for it!

Carefully I dress. This stunning outfit has 3 parts, a mesh suit that can be worn alone, flower attachments at the skit, a pretty option, and a drape option at the neck. I put all of the options on, loving it all and set out to find the perfect water location. My first stop, I find it! Enchanted by Nico Bascom has the perfect waterfall!
Photo of & by Shannon Bramlington


In the water, loving the feel of wearing -AZUL-Anais, I smooth satin around me flows as the water rushes.


Dramatic! A water fantasy land of rippling waves. The delicate flowers are just the right touch. I hope I don't get the bottom of my outfit wet!


Artistic! The photo comes out near perfect in the Anais. Wow!


Sometimes there are outfits you put on that just make you feel stunning, this has to be one of them!

Excitedly I move around Enchanted for more waterfalls. There's no shortage here. I find the next, a tropical area, and begin modeling the Anais in a different pose.



Photo of & by Shannon Bramlington


 "Flip that hair". I love it! The feel of the gown around me, the water glossing near. A Summer Stunner is how I'd have to describe the -AZUL-Anais!


Just one more shot, I smirk and remember my husband's love of water. hmm, can I capture "the wet look"? A hard task but I'm up for the challenge. Adjusting the drape of Anasis, I've never done a photo THIS sexy, I sigh, then...I go for it.

Miss Azul Press Conference Runway

On Saturday, the fifteen elegant finalists of the Miss Azul Contest walked the runway and were asked one question while on stage. 


The hot lights beating down on us, nerves about an unknown question kept us quiet backstage as we patiently awaited our turn. In SL I'm posed and ready, in RL I'm pumped, my hands are shaking! I took a deep breath as I heard Falbala, the modeling director for the press conference count me down.
"Shannon Ready?" she asks.
"Ready", I respond. Let's do this. I can see down the long white runway. Don't look at the crowd Shannon, just concentrate on your mark. I tell myself.
"3......2.....1....."
"You got this baby," Blake whispers. I hold in my breath.
"GO".
Click ..Click.. boom and I move on to the stage. I hear the applause as I concentrate on my steps, almost there. Cotton Candy introduces me, like the ladies before me, she rattles off the description of my outfit. " Today Shannon is headed to the office in a color mixed version of -AZUL- Evelyn. She's chosen the top in Morganite color and the skirt in Onyx.. Shannon has combine both skirt ruffles to add a touch of color to the skirt. The back of the top is Shannon's favorite part with it's delicately made drapes, accented with a gold ribbon. The belt is a touch of style she's added, made by Zuri, finishing off with Shoes by Belleza. With Pencils in her hair and her briefcase at the ready, Shannon is ready to take care of business. "


I strike a pose....

I can hear, them speeding us up, I have to hurry. I hit another pose, then another. My question from the press is coming, Thinking fast on my feet I am asked a question from Diamondgem Destiny, the Miss Virtual World Organization COO. Diamondgem asked "In your opinion, Is it better to have loyalty or be well known." My eyes light up! That's a great question! I instantly know my answer. Cotton Candy goes on talking about me, reading my biography, I can't listen I have to concentrate, I'm tired of hearing about myself anyway and this question is a wonderful one! I fumble through my typng, get the okay and blurt out my answer "Hi Dimondgem, thank you for your question, I'm excited to be here with you today. Loyalty is my answer." I go on to tell her why, that anyone can be known for anything now days, but loyalty is built on trust, and should be treasured. Striking a few more poses, quickly, I hear.
"Shannon EXIT in 3...2...1" And boom! I'm turned and walking back. Walk a straight line Shannon, it's not your first day! I'm thinking as I make my exit. Standing back with the ladies again awaiting the final group entrance I look over my outfit. a good strong but feminine choice. I think I'll save this one and wear it again! Mami Jewell knows quality! I check my hair and it's almost time to go on stage again. Hmm.. why didn't I tie my answer into the Brand? My business mind kicks in, as a brand it's important to be BOTH well known and have customer loyalty. I make a face and think, well... my answer was from my personal side, and from the heart, no changing it now.

"Shannon, Taylor, Yeri, Ready?" It's Falbala,
"Ready", we all respond. And back out to the runway we go...!

A special thank you to my fellow contestants, they push the envelope on styling and challenge me at each turn. Thank you to the team of -AZUL- to Chloe and Falbala for directing us, and to Mami Jewell again for her fantasic creations, to the press that came to ask their questions, their intelligent questions were right on! Thank you to Illargi Dover for the runway picture, and the allowed use of it, you "captured my fierce", muah! I'd like to thank my modeling mentor Eibhlíne, the owner of Regal Academy, who's contstant counsel I sincerely admire. Also thank you to the Sweethearts for all their support and encouraging words. Last but not least, my husband Blake, you never let me fall. xoxo.

"In real life, when I was in the 7th grade, we had to make a costume and live in it and be it for just one day. My costume was a Geisha. My mother and I worked on the costume for a month, we did research, which back then research was only in books at the library. We sewed my costume and painted my face, sprayed my hair with black paint and off to school I went. All day long I wore my costume, walked slowly as I had read that Geisha's do. I was so proud of my costume, that when I went home I still refused to take it off and I ended up sleeping in it all night. My mother was mad at me the next morning for getting make up and black hair paint on my pillow case. LOL. But I adored that costume. Here in Second Life, we can be who we like, wear what we like and tomorrow we can be something else. " - Shannon Bramlington
