An autograph session at the local mall

One of Bria's first official events as Miss Teen Minnesota was a homecoming autograph session at the mall in downtown Norville. Bria was pleased to see that the organizers had set up her table (and a life-sized cardboard cutout of the blonde champion) in the center of the mall, a place of honor bathed in natural light from skylights and usually reserved for Santa Claus, army recruitment or other seasonal or special events. This moment also had a special significance for the beauty queen personally, as it was at a similar function that she had met the previous winner and had decided to compete for her crown.

Bria had opted to wear a brightly-colored delicate silk sleeveless slip dress with a low scoop neck and thin shoulder straps (with which a bra simply wouldn't be practical), accented with a cross hanging around her neck on a gold chain, red stilettos, and of course her tiara and sash proclaiming her status as "Miss Teen Minnesota". Arranged on the table for Bria's signature and distribution were a selection of glossy photos from the pageant; mostly they portrayed her in a formal gown waving and holding a bouquet moments after her victory, but there were others from earlier in the gala, including Bria wearing a bikini and high heels during the swimsuit competition, and a cleavage-bearing traditional dress called a dirndl she wore while performing a Bavarian folk dance for the talent competition.

At first the plan was for Bria to sit behind the table and simply greet people and sign autographs, but nearly everyone who wanted to see her also wanted to take a picture with her, so the beauty queen was constantly moving back and forth around the obstacle. Soon the pictures were relocated to a corner of the table, and Bria was positioned in front of the table, where she could be embraced by her adoring public.

The mall was quiet in the morning, and Bria was able to spend a few minutes with each of the young girls and teenagers who came to see their role model. As the sun rose in the sky and the blonde beauty was bathed in its light, the crowd became increasingly masculine, but she was pleased to attract such an unexpectedly diverse demographic. Bria lost count of how many men old enough to be her father patiently waited in the long line simply to have a signed autograph and a photo taken of her or with her. So many of them insisted on Bria facing into the sunshine that the teen simply started orienting herself that direction to save time. They would usually snap a few more pictures of her while she bent over to sign their glossy souvenir. The bikini shot was of course in high demand, but any photo that she took the time to sign seemed good enough for them. Overall the teen beauty thought the event went well, although more than a few of the men held her tightly during the photo session, including a couple who took the opportunity to run a hand along her buttock. By the end of the day she had received a number of unexpected offers and propositions, some tempting, most not. For a young lady unaccustomed to such attention, it was an education.

What Bria didn't realize was that in direct sunlight her sheer silk dress appeared translucent, at least in photographs, so that the details of her shapely form was discernable down to the size and location of her nipples. Some surreptitiously shot her from behind to catch a glimpse of her tight, toned buttocks clad in thong panties. Likewise, as she bent over to sign autographs, the lucky recipient would often be treated to a glimpse down her top at her exquisite breasts hanging beneath her, and could even catch a snapshot of much of their glory if he were good enough with his camera. One intrepid voyeur had the teen princess include an encouraging note to his "daughter" about the power of prayer (specifically on how humbly getting on her knees got her where she was) while he carefully filmed a video of the down-shirt view of her full breasts and occasional glimpse of nipple behind her dangling chain. The teen signed her name with her trademark heart, glanced up and offered him a radiant smile and wink, oblivious of just how much was of her was on display.
