Hahahaha nice work.

I hope her music career takes off. It will keep the fall of Client 9 relevant, and it couldn't happen to a more "deserving" politico.

As of Thursday evening, the songs had been listened to by some 200,000. Downloads were selling for 98 cents each, though "What We Want" had previously been selling for 13 cents. Prices on the site are based on demand.

I wonder how long it will take for the IRS to get its hooks into her.

If she's smart, she collected the money up front before discussing any activities.

I don't think any money went directly to her. From what I read the money was payed to the company providing her services. At her $5000/hr rate, I'd be surprised if she saw 25% of it. Of course, $1250/hr cash plus nice restaurants, hotels and gifts is still pretty good --even if she only worked a few hours each week.

Yeah? So do you foresee a day when you don't think you'll find young shapely women in their 20s physically unattractive? I can't see that happening and I'm in my 40s. Granted, I really can't stand talking to them, most are dumb as a stump and like, worried about like the latest like thing to wear.

This is especially true of runaways and those that didn't go to college, like this broad.

I agree. I wish her well. Heard a story from some of her friends that after dinner out, she made sure to take the food to give to the homeless. Sounds like she does have a very good heart, contrary to what many of the people here will say. Listening to the many people here, one would think they never committed any sins!

Ashley claims she came from a broken home, was poor, was abused etc.

They showed her parents home in NJ last night- probabaly $4-5 million.

She surely was not abused financially growing up.

There are many forms of abuse, and they take place in the nicest looking of homes. Don’t fool yourself.

I wonder if she was runaway in the classic sense or did her parents spoil her and let her do what she wanted. See my post 49. She was not wanton for money growing up that is for sure.

I agree 100%. However, When all is said and done this girl's background and life will be entirely different than what she claims on her my space page. I think she is claiming runaway status/ abuse etc to develop a persona for her singing career.

That is pure conjecture.

The fact is that she DID runaway to her father’s home in SC.

After listening to her “Music”, she should run, run away from the thought of a career in music.
She has an established career, Ho, 15 minutes of fame and the inevitable drug overdose!

Actually, I think it is just as good as, if not better, than all of the other cr** on the radio today.

I wish her well.

I'm thinking it's about time for my "tell all" about my fling with Governor Blanco.

Most people thought she was merely incompetent. I know she was just distracted. I really couldn't help myself...she was such a babe...

Well, when you think about it:

Individual A: Sleeps with the boss, gets paid 32K for getting bossed around for 2,100 hours year by a self-centered jerk.

Individual B: Sleeps with the bosses, gets paid 32K for getting bossed around for 32 hours a year by self-centered jerks.

Given that they are both tramps, who is getting “exploited” the worst...
