Guess what is here?!?!? Finally, after much hard work and years spent developing this idea, one of my closest friends T.J. Jefferson has finally gotten his book published!!!! So excited for him!!!  

Ashton Kutcher wrote the forward and the book is a collection of relationship tips, written by Women for the benefit of Men. Basically guys, Us ladies are telling you everything you need to know to try to help figure “us” out. I contributed a few thoughts on the things that men need to know about women. Also you will find that Madonna, Shakira, Cameron Diaz, Demi Moore and many other women from all walks of life also weighed in on the subject. 

So, whether you are a Man, wanting to understand us women a little better…or a Woman who is intrigued by what your sister’s have to say…this is a book for everyone. So go order your copy on Amazon.com, the link is below or you can find the book at Barnes & Noble, Border’s or your local bookstore. :o)

I read the front page of the NY Post this week and was happy to see that Mr. Spitzer is moving on with his life and considering getting back into politics.  Everyone makes mistakes.  Everyone deserves a second chance.  Me too, right?  Well, apparently not.  Why?  Because many people are liars and hypocrites.  Let me give you just a few examples of what I keep encountering, despite my best efforts to move on.

First, I’m often referred to as the “woman who brought down the Governor” – excuse me people, I didn’t call the tabloids, I didn’t blow the whistle and I didn’t save “the dress.”  I did nothing to shine a light on my indiscretions or to “out” anyone else. 

Second, I keep being accused of “cashing in” on the scandal – wrong again. People think I made money off music that was exploited when the scandal first broke, that I am doing reality television, and that I made millions posing nude for magazines.  The truth is none of those things happened.  This situation closed far more doors than it ever opened.  I didn’t see a dime for my songs, but other people certainly did.  I didn’t pose nude for a magazine, but other people made money off of photos of me that they sold to tabloids.  Even photos I posed for ages ago were sold to the highest bidder.  I never sold any photos of myself - but people who I trusted did.  And the “millions” for the nude pics?  I was offered that, repeatedly – and turned them down because I didn’t want to perpetuate the problem or feed into the stereotype. 

Third, speaking of perpetuating the problem and feeding into the stereotype, let me tell you about most book publishers – they are worse than the tabloids.  I won’t give them the “tell all” they are demanding and won’t glorify and sensationalize “how exciting the life of a high-priced NYC escort must be,” as one major publisher put it.  Sorry folks, my life wasn’t like a “Sex And The City” episode.  I’m not sure that exists anywhere but on television.  Oh, and I also love how some publishers who were interested in my story and had offers on the table suddenly pulled them because executives in the company had “personal and political reasons” for not publishing the book.  What does that mean?  Did this hit too close to home for you because your husband cheated on you with an escort?  Or would your wife feel insecure if she heard you were working with me? I will write the book regardless and do it for the right reasons.  
   
Fourth - ladies, ladies, ladies - so many of you have been cool, supportive and loving.   But there are those of you out there who just love to judge.  Let me say this - most girls, to varying degrees of course, want to be pampered and have nice shoes, designer handbags and gorgeous clothes.  I know many women who target guys with money and use them to get these things.  They toy with them, flirt, go on dates, have sex and then drop hints about that new dress at the store down the street or being short on rent money – and the guys deliver it.  This is a dishonest relationship.  I see this all over New York City.  Some women aren’t as vindictive, but still dive into relationships with wealthy guys who they don’t love or even find attractive, but they stay in it because they have a nice home, a car and spending money – they would rather stay in an unfulfilling or loveless relationship than lose that security.  This, too, is a dishonest relationship. I see this type all over the suburbs of New Jersey with the housewives who are strung out on mood stabilizers or the couples who put all their attention on their children so they don’t have to deal with their own issues.  What about going to those sugar daddy websites?   Is that legal?  Should it be?  Is what I did any more dishonest?  Get real and get over yourself.

You’d be shocked at some of the messes I’ve gotten myself into....and, more importantly, how I got out of them.  I have so much more to say, and I will – but it’s time for Yoga class! Om Shanti!

And while all this is going on, this is what I am really passionate about.  My music.  Here is a rough mix of a song I am working on that tells a little bit of my story.  I hope you like it. :o)

Hey everyone - Okay, so as you all know I have taken some time for myself to re-group and have been focusing on building up my inner strength. So while on my quest...I was fortunate enough to meet Russell Simmons in one of my Yoga classes. He is someone who I admire for his dedication to "helping the kids" and his commitment and loyalty with many charities he is involved with. He is not only a wonderful person, but also a wonderful soul. I am so honored to have the privilege to call him a friend and I thank him for believing in me and for knowing that the story that I keep locked inside me could help someone. Thank you Russell for standing behind me.

Here is Russell's Blog - "Meeting Miss Ashley"

Hey you guys - thank you for all of your support. I love all of you so much, and I truly appreciate each and everyone of you being by me this whole time. Some of you guys have opened up to me emotionally about things that you are going through or have gone through- and I just want to say thank you for opening up to me and sharing your stories. You all inspire me so much. You inspire me because you are still fighting and you're not giving up. Don't ever give up. I am behind you and I believe in you. I wish I could read every email but I have a really hard time keeping up with it. I always stay on top of my comments - so keep posting. :o) I just set Twitter up - so hopefully we can all communicate on that a little better...I want to keep you all in the loop with what I am doing and I also want to be there for you guys as much as I can. Just keep moving, stay focused and stay positive. I love you!! xxA
