The following year, another retailer took on a few high school girls including Crawford and her sister, to do be their models (including a fashion shoot). In her senior year, local photographer Roger Legel, whose duties included photographing a different college student to be the week's coed in the DeKalb Nite Weekly, asked to photograph Crawford for the publication; the result was her first cover.
