Laddddiiieeee - Dahhh

I'm sitting here with a bag of M&M's saying to myself.. "after you're done with this bag of chocolate you're gonna regret it.." But with Monster's INC. on I could careless. FYI: Favorite movie in the world!!

*

So real life is in effect and I'm stressing as normal. Money needs to learn to grow on trees lol I'm trying to book shoots but it seems no photographers are looking to shoot? haha Odd? Yeah that's what I'm saying! I'm thinking ahead of everything I'm going to need for my Playmate test shoot and it's already freaking me out. From hair, to nails, to toes, tanning, gym, makeup, shoes*, clothes... Goshh. I just know it's a once and a lifetime experience and I want to be absolutely perfect. I'm sure I'll figure something out.. well that's just wishful thinking.

*

I got to see Nana today & cut her hair for her.. She's so excited for me and couldn't express how proud she was of me. I'm telling you it's the first time I really saw her smile, smile since my Papa passed away. To see her light up and to know that she can actually see all this happen is rewarding all in itself. I wish my Papa was still here to see it... But I know he can watch it all happen where he is...

*

Tomorrow I'm getting back to what I adore doing.. shooting <3 I'm doing something I've never done before.. Edgy.. Trying to show everyone it's not all about being pretty.. I'm a model. It's what I do. It's not my hobby, it's my job! I'm also gonna try to get the hair did for my interview at Kiss 108 on Friday. Can't be going in with 5 inches of roots haha <- That's my OCD talking hahaha

*

Well I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend as you all deserve. I'm excited to start making video blogs as well starting tomorrow most likely. You'll all be able to experience this amazing title and what comes with it that you've given Team a*A <3 Enjoy your Monday tomorrow! -xoxo

Bunny love,

Your Playboy Miss Social

Finally calming down

Before I start blogging I need you all who are reading this to please copy & paste this link into your address bar and vote for Gabby. She has been such a supportive friend and I truly want you all to support her like you have me : www.foreverlilly.com/GabbyNires.php thanks  :)

So today has been interesting to say the least. Becoming Miss Social has yet to hit me but seems like it has hit a few other people, but not in a positive light. I truly find it sad that people who voted for my competitors have the most negative things to say about me. I've been accused of begging for money, telling team a*A <3 that if they didn't spend money on votes they'd be letting me down, hiring a professional promoter and talking bad about contestants.

*

Let me take a second to address each of these issues even though I already know you all know how false those accusations are. I would never ever ever beg for money. I said over & over again how I know you have priorities and I should not be one but if you could help it'd be amazing because it had come down to money and girls were clearly buying all their votes. I'm very proud to say I know that 85% of my votes came from you all using the app and getting FREE votes. I made it clear time & time again that I hated asking for money, it made me feel horrible. Also a professional promoter? Really? I promoted 24/7 all by myself. I'm broke to say the least and couldn't afford that anyway haha I also would never ever put you all down if you couldn't sponsor votes. My gosh I cried at how you all were just telling your friends to vote for me and couldn't be more thankful. I also never had a bad thing to say about the other contestants. I never put them down as people and especially didn't put them down in the contest. If anything, I told all you guys to vote for many of them on specific days.

*

Now that's out of the way... I had a great time last night at Friday's to have a little celebration with those who mean most to me. Wish you all could've been there. I barely ever drink, so one birthday cake shot and one margarita and I was in happy land hahah But it was fun to just be able to relax and breathe. It was funny, I sat down and had my Miss Social shirt on and girls at the table behind us were whispering "That's Miss Social!" It feels weird because I'm just a human being like everyone else. I'm no better than anyone else haha But it's a great feeling to know people are happy for me. I'm so happy for all of you to get to share this one of a kind experience with me!

*

Mom is still on Cloud 9 and I can't thank you enough for allowing her to feel this way. She has busted her bumm off giving me everything she can and as a single mom I know it's not easy. I hope with winning this contest I can show her how much I appreciate her. 1.4.3(7)

*

As of today I'm just being lazy. Catching up on somethings I put aside for the contest and just truly appreciating every day. It's amazing how all OUR hard work has paid off. I never thought I could say it but dreams do come true and I honestly again can't thank you enough. Sorry I say it so much I just don't feel I could ever express my gratitude for all your help.

*

Well I'm gonna cheat on my "bunny diet" and indulge in some pizza and enjoy the nice 35 degree weather in Boston (Considering what it's been, that's like a heat wave!) I hope you're all having an amazing weekend as you all deserve.

Much love,

Your Playboy Miss Social :)

My first day as Playboy's Miss Social February

So today is my first OFFICIAL day as Playboy's Miss Social February and it still doesn't feel real. I find myself constantly having to go back to the app to make sure my picture is there with the word "WINNER" above it haha I've been dreaming of a day like this for so long and it's so incredible and so humbling to know I don't have to wait anymore. To know everyone voted for me and had my back makes the experience overwhelming because I feel so loved and supported. I can't explain what it's like to know so many people believe in me. People who didn't know me were telling their friends I deserved it and right then is when I knew I have taken the first step to accomplishing a dream.
 *

I have been trying to prove myself for many years and now people are finally believing I can do it and they can do it with me. To know I got 2.2 MILLION votes is insane to me. Everyone keeps saying "don't let it go to your head" but believe it or not, it humbles me more. I know I couldn't have done it without everyone's support and for that, my head stays leveled.
 *

Today it still has not hit me but I'm proud to say I'll be doing appearances and interviews ASAP along with shoots and website features. My foot and the rest of team a*A's is finally in the door! I'll be doing an 2 event appearances at 2 clubs in Boston in the next few weeks (don't worry I'll keep you informed) and next Friday 3/11 I'll be on air at the Matty in the Morning show on Kiss 108FM to talk about becoming Playboy's Miss Social. I also have some shoots lined up and exciting website features.. As always, you'll be the first to see and know when they happen.
 *

My goal is to let you all share this experience with me because it should be your experience too since your votes made this possible! I will be posting updates on my Facebook fanpage everyday [www.facebook.com/ashleyalexiss] and also am thinking of having a one hour chat a week on USTREAM with everyone. I will also be trying to keep this blog daily along with doing a video blog 5x a week leading up to my Playboy shoot.
 *

So the ride has started & I hope you'll all be with me as these days get brighter and brighter. I cannot thank you enough for giving me the chance to change my life and my families life. I have worked so hard to become something that has the power to give back to my family and friends and now it's possible thanks to your hard-work. Always remember, I don't do it for me. I do it for US!
