Ashley Sarto proves that when you drive fast, the trip is shorter. This Italian mami hails from a cornfield suburb of Chicago and started modeling at 13 years old. She found a love of fast cars at 15 and a passion for the car scene a year later. With two years of local car show experience, she's found her way to the cover of Import Tuner. She's a simple girl that likes simple things--sushi, cars and a nice pair of jeans. Some might say that's it's her personality and her badunk-ka-dunk, but its really her inviting smile, teasing eyes and her down-home beauty that will lead this Chitown-secret into becoming one of the industry's hottest models.
2NR: You look great. You're so thin!
AS: Yeah. But then again, it's hard for me to gain weight. I have a high metabolism. I eat like a horse.
2NR: What's your favorite meal? The last time we talked, you were at a sushi place.
AS: Either Italian or sushi. I love asian!
2NR: In about an hour you'll love Pacific Islanders. What's your favorite roll?
AS: California roll, but the weirdest thing I've tried is Unagi. I actually liked it. It was good.
2NR: You know what an eel looks like right? Long, thin... slithery.
AS: Oh my goodness, yeah!
2NR: You had one in your mouth.
AS: It was just a piece of it. I didn't eat the entire eel.
2NR: What's the Italian favorite?
AS: I like Gnocchi.
2NR: What?
AS: GNOCCHI.
2NR: Bless you!
AS: It's like pasta, but they look like a dumpling the size of your thumb and are made out of potatos.
2NR: I'd be thin too if all I ate was eel and thumb-dumplings.
2NR: You are a tall girl. A pair of 4-inch heels puts you at 6-foot even.
AS: I wish I were taller, [5-foot-10-inches] would be sweet!
