American Girl Fashion Show

I recently had the pleasure of attending a fashion show for a great cause. The Junior League of Minneapolis put on an American Girl fashion show to raise money to feed children that do not get food at home.  All of the models got to walk down the runway carrying their favorite American Girl doll wearing matching outfits! All of the staff volunteered their time for this cause, have you volunteered lately?! It is a great way to dedicate your time to helping others :)

Stay Perfect, Ava

SU's Most Beautiful Gala- Miami

Bessie of Bessie's Boutique, Angel Cecere, and myself at the Gala 

I recently had the pleasure of attending the SuperModels Unlimited Magazine's Most Beautiful Gala in Miami Florida. First I have to say Miami was a wonderful change from Minneapolis. It gets pretty cold and gloomy in Minneapolis around this time of year. Second of all, the gala was so much fun. It took place at Mansion, one of Miami's hottest clubs and the runway show was a blast.
I hope everyone is having a great new year thus far.

Stay perfect, Ava

Wishing you all the Perfect Holiday

I cannot believe the year is almost over. As we look forward to all of the wonders we have yet to discover in 2011, this is the perfect time to reflect on 2010. I have had a very lucky and unexpected year, and feel so honored to represent America as America's Perfect Miss.
Christmas is my favorite time of year and I hope that everyone gets to spend it with their loved ones.

Minnesota has gotten over 25 inches of snow in December alone, and it will definitely be a white Christmas!!!

Happy Holidays and stay perfect.
Love, Ava

Crowns for Kids bowling was a success!

Bowling queens with friends from the event

Wow, I had such a great experience last weekend as a member of the Crowns for Kids bowling team. I was joined by four lovely ladies who are local titleholders in the state of Minnesota to help raise money for the Big Brothers Big Sisters mentorship program. Our team came in second place in fundraising with $2,000 dollars raised to help mentor children. The entire event raised over $30,000, how amazing!!!! I want to thank everyone who helped us raise money for this great cause, it really means a lot.

I had so much fun bowling in cocktail dresses, crown, sash and BOWLING SHOES!!! such a great look ;)

Stay Perfect, Ava <3
