Ashley Dupre Already Planning Her Comeback!

Ashley Dupre, who recently called (some? most?) New York City women hypocrites for looking down on her prostituting past, has now been in the NY Post two days in a row. Yesterday, the Post looked at her road to realization—with a sexy fashion shoot, of course (photo slideshow below, which is set to her second single!)—with the former high-class escort offering this pitch line, "Everyone likes an underdog story, and everyone likes a comeback. I'm the poster child for redemption."

She says of any fame that's come her way, "I didn't ask for it, but now that I have it, it's up to me to take advantage of this platform and do something amazing. I have a voice now," and says would like to settle down ("I really like preppy boys. Tall, dark hair, handsome") but "Dating in New York is just so tough. A lot of guys want to be with me for the wrong reasons. They wonder, 'How is she going to be in bed?'" Well, yeah. And don't worry, Dupre knows her past will have to be discussed her with family, "When I do have children, I'll have to sit them down and explain myself. And when they have children, I'll have to tell them that 'Grandma did this to [herself],' and that's something I'll have to live with the rest of my life. It's part of my life now."

In today's Post, she says she's considering posing nude—"If it's good enough for Madonna, it's good enough for me"—and she's writing a "cautionary tale" for young girls who might fall into a similar trap she did, "I'm going to let them in, in a way where I'm really excited and really horrified. Once I get everything out, I'll feel like everything's been clarified and I can breathe."

Reflect

Another soundtrack fit for a background conversation episode of One Tree Hill,

or the entrance of some stupid plastic smelling store filled with hooch wear for

little girls.

hubcap

she's hot but there's plenty of hot non-whores out there. she's just cashing in on whoever will pay attention. it beats working retail and i cannot blame her for it

NannyState

Thanks to a lack of interdickion, her street value is plummeting.

-no, don't start throwing shit at me....

What I want to know is, who is she boinking at the NY Post to get all this publicity? Which journalist is lucky enough to taste the STD cocktail known as "Kristin"?

"I'm the poster child for redemption."

Sweetie, a whore who talks about who her johns are is only a poster child for not being able to keep her yap shut, and thus shows her incompetence. Can't just spread her legs and not talk about, and she thinks she's atually accomplished something. Pathetic.

Hard to believe I'm saying this, but even Madonna outclasses you, you ignorant bimbo.

Clarice City

"I really like preppy boys."

Translation: Harvard Law J.D.

"Tall, dark hair, handsome" : ...socks..and balding.

billybob

my god that music sucks. It'd be better for her to return to sucking other things for a living.

"Planning Her Comeback"?

(sigh)

Comeback to what?

marcasm

Her music is terrible. She should stick to what she knows best, being a whore.

Why would she need to explain herself to the grandkids? No one will remember any of this decades from now, and I have trouble believing that the youth of tomorrow will go around googling their grandmothers' maiden names.

matty

man she is so busted

Wouldn't a "comeback" for Dupre be a return to whoring?

Oh wait, that's exactly what this is.

flynn110

Just. Go. Away.

I really like preppy boys. Tall, dark hair, handsome But for 4K i will let a bald, disgusting, married man have his way with me... She wants to have a comeback? Try staying out of the NY Post. Get a job @ Trader Joes, remain anonymous. Gothamist must need to catch the droppings from the NY Post with stories like this.

bornbrednewyorker

I would take hand relief from her but would never insert.

hotstepper

so is the Post officially pimping her shitty song or what? the music industry doesn't need another talentless deadbeat in hotpants--however the porn industry is another story.

I saw Ashley Dupre on the Upper West Side last week and must say she looked much cuter in person in her gym clothes than she does in this Post photo shoot.
