Miss AZUL 2011 & AZUL Princess 2011

Miss AZUL is a title given to the lady who has impeccable style, inner and outer beauty and a sense of fashion that can represent the AZUL brand. Do you think you have what it takes to represent AZUL?

Mami Jewell, owner and designer of AZUL will be looking for the next beautiful lady to take the crown for a one year tenure, taking it over from Tania Tebaldi who had been reigning as Miss AZUL 2010.

The Finals will be streamed live by Second Life TV to the Japanese SL residents who have become more active in the SL fashion scene.
