“I wouldn’t say I have passion for limelight, I have passion to be successful in everything I embark on & achieve. In my field of work being in the limelight may be necessary at times but, it is not something that I strive to be in, just being successful is a personal goal of mines. 5 years from now I would love to have had a full experience in my dance career and transitioned seamlessly into acting. I would love to be on broadway and SNL. I do believe I have the mental strength to carry-on because it is the only mentality I know how to live with.” -Aja DePaolo LOS ANGELES FIRM INC MAGAZINE MODEL SPOTLIGHT JANUARY / FEBRUARY 2016 Photographer Rikki Mendias | Makeup Artist Rosa Rodriguez |  Model Aja DePaolo First impressions are everything, and Aja Depaolo has the look. She is a bit exotic, yet tasteful in fashion editorial. In a day and age where things have not come as easy to a pretty face as they once did, this model is the epitome of what is missing from fashion and as fans we’d like to see more young ladies with simplified looks. Sometimes, less really is more! Seemingly the girl next door with her natural beauty, Aja stands out in a world that has unnatural models on the rise. Aja leaves an indelible mark without surgery, tattoos and/or piercings which seem to be the trend amongst the working model more now than ever. Aja deserves these honors for all the obvious reasons. She’s naturally exquisite and meets our standards as to what a model should be. We can only hope to see more models showcase their natural beauty without enhancing their faces or bodies.
