Rene Russo's Purr-fect Photoshoot (season 2, episode 8) - Photoshoot on Brazil (part 1)

Master muses Lucia Verissimo and Rene Russo: the stars of the photoshoot. 

Rene and her crew arrived in Rio De Janeiro that evening. Rene was excited to be in Brazil because she was going to work with the lovely Lucia Veríssimo. Maria worked months to get the two together for the January/February edition of Vogue Brasil. She persuaded Tony and the magazine’s editors that the chemistry between the two of them would work. “The two of them are perfect,” Maria said to Tony. “Lucia’s smile and heart-shaped eyes are sensual and elegant; Lucia is a master” After getting their luggage, they hailed a couple of taxis to the Hilton Rio De Janeiro Copacabana. As they drove to the hotel, Maria got out her folder and explained to Rene that she and Lucia would be posing in swimwear, evening dresses, and lingerie from Andres Sarda, Lulus and Venus.

After going over the itinerary, Rene looked out the window and took a sip of her strawberry smoothie. She thought about her latest “Rene the Sleuth’’ dream.  This time our heroine is looking for stolen vintage New Yorker drawings. She must deal with a semi-reluctant archivist named Victoria, who knows all about Olga’s nefarious sister, Helga. Our beautiful model found herself annoyed by a charming Pierce flirting with our enchanting archivist who loves good wine, romantic poetry, and the whims of the American humorist James Thurber. “The things we dream about,” Rene mused.

They arrived at the Hilton located on Avenida Atlântica. Rene and her team were taken in by the exquisite bar and dining area. On the flight, Rene read the following blurb on her smartphone: “Our hotel is on Copacabana Beach and is less than 10 minutes from Rio Sul Mall and showings at Kinoplex Roxy. Sugarloaf Mountain, Maracanã Stadium, and Escadaria Selarón can be reached in 15 minutes. Christ the Redeemer is 20 minutes away. We have rooms with sea views, a spa, and a rooftop pool with space to relax” (https://hilton.com/en/hotels/riocchh-hilton-rio-de-janeiro-copacabana/…)

At 7:30 a.m., Maria went down to the lobby and greeted Lucia with a friendly “bom dia” and a gentle hug. They went up to Rene’s room, where she was under the care of Shane. Rene got up and gave Lucia a warm embrace. As Kela worked on Lucia, Rene and her fashion shoot partner talked about how much they look forward to today’s photoshoot. Lucia was enthusiastic about the attire’s beautiful assortment of colors and fabric. “Lunch is on me,” said our Brazilian beauty. “I made a reservation at the Restaurante Marius Degustare. They have the most exquisite seafood around.” Tony and came in and welcomed her to the set. Tony explained that the morning shoot would be swimwear at the hotel pool and the beach across from the hotel. The evening wear would take place at the bar, and the lingerie would take place in one of the hotel’s exquisite suites.

An hour later, Lucia, Rene, and the crew were on the beach. The weather was perfect – the breeze provided our two enchanting models a feeling of comfort and contentment. The color of the sky was a fantastic blue with splashes of innocuous clouds on the horizon. As Tony got his camera ready, Kela and Shane did some last-minute hair and make-up work on Lucia and Rene. Maria turns on the music, and they set out work. The photoshoot is like a concerto – this time, Shane is conductor, and Lucia and Rene are the star soloists. Shane made them smile by telling jokes and humorous stories. Maria arranged for Lucia and Rene to pose with Brazil’s National Men Volleyball Team. 

Tony snapped away as they knocked the volleyball on the beach. After a brief break of energy bars and cold water, Tony moved the photoshoot to the hotel’s pool. After changing into new swimwear, Lucia and Rene got into the water. As the two gave each other a warm embrace, Tony took some magnificent photos. For lunch, they went to the Restaurante Marius Degustare for a beautiful lunch of codfish cakes other seafood delicacies.
