2NR: Do you really?
AP: Everyone always says that!
2NR: What do you expect them to say? It's not like you said I breathe air. Opera, not that high on the "top 10 things you expect Ashley to do" list.
AP: I started playing piano when I was 5 or 6, all classical.
2NR: What do you listen to when you're in the car?
AP: Eminem. Tupac. Yes, I love 'em. I love gangsta rap.
2NR: Do you really? Damn, after I change up my expectations you throw this at me.
AP: Diversity! I like them because they rap about things that hit you. I like the lyrics, and the "smackin your hoe" stuff doesn't bother me. I don't get tired of them. I like country music, too. Not this whole contemporary stuff. I like the '80s stuff, Reba McIntire, Garth Brooks. I have tinted windows and I sit in traffic singing at the top of my lungs.
2NR: So the next time I'm on the 405 freeway I'll wave to the girl in the Celica singing Mariah Carey's "Hero," right?
AP: Exactly! I sing very loudly when I'm on the freeway.
2NR: What have you been doing since you've been out West?
AP: I model and take part-time waitress jobs. I also did the full body paint thing for the movie "Daredevil." I went in and I was painted to look like the Daredevil, head to toe.
2NR: Were you totally naked?
AP: I had a thong on. I was all red; I had the mask, the double "D" on my chest. After the gig, on the way home, I had to stop at a gas station to fill up and go pee. I had to call my friend to help me out because I was wearing this latex get-up that won't come off.
2NR: Do you know how much fun you could of had! Running around like a superhero and no one would have known who it was! You could of messed with a lot of drunks that night.
AP: I know. I have a list of things to do the next time I'm fixed up like that. I'm going to Blockbuster on a Friday night at about 8 p.m. It'll be great.
2NR: Yeah, what a cool gig; a pretty face can get you damn near any job. Hint. Hint. Anything else?
AP: Ok. I did a spread for Playboy.
2NR: Geeeyeea! That's what I was getting at.
AP: Well, a month after I moved out here I ended up at an open shoot out in L.A.. The senior photo editor saw the Polaroids and asked me to come back to shoot a layout. We shot for about 10 hours. I went back home and they never called-I was kind of bummed. Then 8 months later-a couple weeks ago-they asked if they could use me for "cyber girl of the week," and in a few months use the pictures for the centerfold. Hopefully they use me. I don't know if it's really gonna happen.
2NR: So tell me, how did the photographer get your clothes off? Maybe there's a technique in there that men can adopt.
AP: He told me to go to wardrobe to put on something he picked out.
2NR: That's it? There's got to be more.
AP: And the fact he's only got maybe five people in the studio when they shoot. They've got music on. They talk to you, make you feel comfortable. They don't have random people standing all around looking at your cookie.
2NR: Cookie? You mean nipples?
AP: No. Your peach, your cookie.
2NR: Ahhh, t'ain't nothing like fresh fruit.
AP: The hardest part was when I had my bottoms off.
2NR: That would have been the hard part...er...for me, too. Do you get to go to the Playboy parties?
AP: I went to a couple. The one for "Daredevil," Ben Affleck did a no show.
2NR: Anyone cool?
AP: Um, there was a porn star there.
2NR: That's cool?
AP: I did meet the people from Marvel.
2NR: Wow, maybe an acting career in the future? What do you want to do when you grow up?
AP: I'm going to school right now. I'm majoring in computer science. I love computers.
