MISS AMERICAN BEAUTY 2014-2015

Beauty is a subject area that can be viewed in many different ways. We first get stuck at the initial question " WHAT IS BEAUTY" Is it lighter skin, longer hair and light eyes? Or is it full lips, curly hair and dark eyes. Whatever it may be beauty comes in many colors, shapes and sizes. Beauty is a combination of looks, poise and confidence. Beauty can sometimes be overwhelming but if it is captured in the right light and in the right atmosphere it is the essence of its name and that is  BEAUTIFUL.

I have the pleasure of knowing someone who is both BEAUTIFUL inside and out. She is hardworking, caring and has such a free spirit. She has an aurora about her that's pleasant to be around and sees things in a different light.

I would like to introduce to you, your MISS AMERICAN BEAUTY 2014-2015, Miss Scottesha Miller. She goes by Skyy and hails from Daytona, Florida. Skyy is a graduate of The University of Oklahoma "class of 2011" where she was an All American Track and Field athlete.

On November 29, 2014 in San Antonio, Texas she was awarded the title of Miss American Beauty 2014-2015 after a rigorous day of events that included having to complete an interview, being judge in swimwear or fitness attire, and rocking an awesome evening gown in front of the judges. She was also judged on her stage presence throughout the entire pageant.

I wanted to capture Skky's pageant experience and asked her a few questions below 

Skyy did you do anything extra to prepare for the pageant?

I decided to focus on fitness and my body. Not only did I want to look my best for the pageant but I also want to maintain a healthy lifestyle. I also took the time to do some research on pageants and looked at what type of gowns were being worn in the pageant circuit along with what would be an acceptable head shot. From there I use what I learned from my research and implemented it within the pageant I participated in. 

Did you have any issues/obstacles that happened during the pageant that you had to overcome?

Yes I unfortunately lost my shoes. While at the pageant I look in my box and my shoes were gone. I think I ended up leaving them in my hotel room or on the bus. My shoe size happens to be a size 8 but I ended up having to wear a size 6. Thanks to Miss Fit American Beauty for lending a helping hand. 

When you realized you won the titled what was the first thing that you thought and how did you feel? 

I was talking not expecting to win, I don't know I  just didn't feel my best BUT I did win, I felt elated & surprised but I was alone so the win wasn't as special 

Now that you have the title what are you looking forward to the most as Miss American Beauty 2014-2015?

I'm looking forward to becoming a household name and bringing awareness and exposure to my businesses, I will use this will as a platform. 

Congratulations Skyy on your phenomenal win you hard work and dedication definitely paid off. Enjoy your reign and keeping doing amazing things.

If you would like to keep up with her reign and follow her journey

Happy 2014

HAPPY 2014!!!!! LETS DO GREAT THINGS

I'm excited to be writing my first blog post of the new year. With every new years comes a fresh start for me, one reason is because my birthday is Dec 30 and my age changes with every new year. I turned 24 this year and I find it so hard to believe that I'm almost a quarter of a century old. Time really does fly. 2013 was an interesting and fun year for me. I traveled to Cali, Vegas, Atlanta, Houston, New Orleans, Oklahoma City, Phoenix, and up the east coast to Virginia. I definitely was on the move and hope to do the same in 2014. I really can't sit still.  I have determined that whatever job I have after I get out of the Army better entails me to do a lot of traveling. In 2013 I did my first boudoir photoshoot and got to practice being sexy. Let me tell you, it is not as easy as you would think it would be. Naturally being sexy does not come easy for me and I struggle with looking fierce all the time when i need to soften up and bring out the sex appeal.  I got to experience what Black Hollywood is like and meet new people. I attended my first concert and saw my favorite singer "BEYONCE" twice. She was so amazing I had to go back for a second dose of Queen Bey. If you haven't seen her in concert you are definitely missing out.

Let me stop dwelling on the past and focus on the future. 2014 is here and I really feel as if it came too fast. I'm still reminiscing off my awesome 2013. One of the things I hope to accomplish in this new year is the completion of my personal website. www.lelavictoria.com
If you go to that site you will see a blank page. I already completed the first step and purchased the domain name from GO DADDY, now i need to find a site to host it and put in the work and start creating my website. I really was being lazy with this. I bought the domain name in October of 2013, so yeah I have been slacking. One of the reason for wanting to start my own personal site is because of my blog. I want to move my blog to my personal site. I'm grateful for blogger let me host my blog on their site but I want to make my blog more personal and I think that can be done by having it on my own personal owned website.  I'm still working on how that will exactly work out so if anyone know of anyone who is computer savvy send me their name and help a sister out. I need a little help. I can't wait to finally complete it and share it with everyone.

Also in 2014 I plan to take the LSAT (Law School Admissions Test). In undergradI majored in American Legal Studies (pre law) and I enjoyed the courses I took while at West Point, so it's only right that I pursue law. Our legal system is seriously flawed and I would like to contribute to possibly fixing a broken system. Also the law world is something that God wants me to do. He's given me many signs therefore whether I want to or not, law and Lela has been placed in the stars. Im hoping to do more with modeling in the year of 2014 and at least walk in a show or do a photoshoot every month, I really can't waste time I am not getting any younger.

I would like to say THANK YOU to everyone who takes the time to read my blog. Thank you to those of you who support what I do. I really appreciate it more than you will ever know. Leave a comment on a blog every now and then I'll comment back.
