Ashley

Have I ever mentioned that I know someone who made the cover of Cosmopolitan — twice? She's the daughter of my mother's best friend from college. I haven't seen her in almost thirty years.

A Google search turned up the usual assortment of photos and videos from her modelling career, along with something curious: she had run for political office in Second Life. Or rather, a fourteen-year-old girl using Ashley's name for her avatar had run for political office. (She lost, amidst claims of electoral fraud.) From what I gather, the real Ashley teaches ballet in Boston, among other creative endeavors.
