The Ashvegas blog isn’t the only place Jamie Simpson has been seen lately. There’s a story from today’s Spartanburg Herald-Journal. Here’s a tidbit:

After attending Clemson University, then beauty school, Simpson moved to Atlanta to take acting classes. Then she moved to Los Angeles for a time she describes as “a very, very big learning experience that didn’t turn out too positive” before moving back to Atlanta.

Simpson works with Elite Model Management in Atlanta, and in addition to her television work she also does parts modeling (modeling her hands and feet) and “petites” modeling.

She also has her own company, Jamie Simpson Marketing, which provides marketing consulting, television production and media buying for automotive dealers.

When Simpson comes home to visit the Upstate, she said people often recognize her face, though she says her local fame is really a mystery to her.

“I’m dying to see why in the world people are so interested,” she said.

Here’s the story.
