Crawford was one of the high school girls recruited by another store, who also did a fashion shoot. In her senior year local photographer Roger Legel, whose duties included capturing a different college girl to be that week's coed on the DeKalb Nite Weekly, asked to photograph Crawford for the publication; the result was her first cover.
