Tuner Galleria Model Spotlight: Michelle Tomniczak

This exotic beauty has barely scratched the surface with her modeling career. Even though she doesn't know much about cars yet, Michelle is more than willing to learn (any volunteers to teach her?) and is currently just enjoying what life brings. So what got her career rolling and what can we look forward to? We sat down with Michelle to get the 4-1-1 on her happenings.

"My grandpa told me ever since I was 12 that I should model, so he was a big reason [for me to get into modeling]," Michelle shared with us. So how did she get her big break? Well as chance would happen, her parents did printing for a jeans company and they saw her picture at their office. Just like that, Pavi Jeans wanted to meet with Michelle the very next day. Not long after she was whisked away to Las Vegas for her first event, The Magic Show.

Since then it's been a whirlwind of events as Michelle has teamed up with Prestigious Models and Hankook, traveling the globe and looking beautiful. "I do different things every weekend, I'm either out of state with Hankook or PM, which is always a blast," Michelle told us. "But if not, I'm dancing with my girlfriends, at home relaxing or at the Drum Circle in Venice. Life is good." Well, our lives aren't as fun-filled as Michelle, but at least we get to live through her experiences and check her out on the weekends!

And with having attended so many events already, we had to ask Michelle which was her most memorable. "The TUNER GALLERIA / World of Wheels in Chicago with PM Girls! That was such a blast. Sarah, Aiko and I stayed at a house for five days waiting for the next event, we had so much fun. We shared the funniest stories, I hadn't laughed that hard in a long time." Sounds like our dream house - we'd probably just ask for five hours trapped in there, never mind five days. Michelle shared more details with us, but they just might be too juicy to post here. But in summary there was some wine, foot massages and a nail salon called Tity Nails.

So what are her goals and who does she look up to? Right now Michelle's just enjoying everything that modeling has brought to her life - the fans, the traveling and all the amazing friends she's made along the way. And as of right now she looks up to Adriana Lima as a model, and we don't think she has to look too high up to aspire to be like her. She credits her family for influencing a lot of her choices, but is mostly an independent girl, doing what she feels is best.

And while Michelle doesn't know a ton about cars, she has her eyes set on a "little white convertible BMW that was calling my name." We're going to guess it was a 1-Series or a 3-Series, so guys if you want her attention, better get behind the wheel of one of those. And speaking of her attention, Michelle is looking for a guy to keep her on her toes and doesn't bore her. "They need to hold a conversation and make me laugh. I would say a nice dinner with a glass of wine would be the perfect setting." So line on up guys, and make sure to check her out at upcoming Tuner Galleria events.
