From National American Miss to Jovani model...hitting New York in a BIG way

You all have seen her face as she graces the podium at NAM shows where she takes place often as MC. Or you remember when she crowned National American Miss Wisconsin Teen years ago (ok-im making it sound like shes ancient and shes not!). And if you still dont know who Im talking about then you have met her at a NAM open call...one way or another, you know she is. 

Figured it out yet? 

Im talking about Ashley Spingola(if you are still completely lost - read a few blogs down where I feature her under: MEET YOUR STAFF)

Well, where you have SEEN her face may not be as exciting as where you MAY be SEEING her face in the future.

Yesterday, I traveled with Ashley(and her mom, Cheryl - who works our Open Calls and you can always see her at the pageant boutique) to NYC where I acted as Ashley's stylist on a Fadil Berisha photoshoot. 

OK - first, if you haven't heard of Fadil - WAKE UP... because he's one of the most well known photographers in the world. He has photographed just about every pageant queen in the world...not to mention shooting for some of the worlds biggest fashion icons, models, and major AD campaigns, such as Rolex.

CHECK HIM OUT AT: FADIL BERISHA

BUT, for the shoot - Ashley acted as a model for JOVANI's newest line. So, keep your eyes open and watch for Ashley as one of Jovani's new faces!!!

Not only was it exciting to get a sneak peak of JOVANI's new gowns, but it was a great treat to see how far being a part of National American Miss truly pays off!!!

To top of the day...we were personally invited to hit the exclusive Jovani and Stephen Yearick showroom where we spent the day trying on dresses( and purchasing some, of course), and hanging out with world-renowned designer Stephen Yearick, himself...and his son, Sean!

You can check Stephen's couture line out at

I thought I would share some pics with you all of our exciting day. Goes to show, when you are a part of something great, like NAM....even greater things will happen for you! Ashley is a great role model for all of you girls who dream of modeling....it CAN happen and NATIONAL AMERICAN MISS is the place to start....just ask ASHLEY!!!!!
