Haha no, Ashlee isn’t my real name. I think because I moved on so much from it, many people forget that I started out as a stripper and all strippers use a fake name. Ashlee Adams was originally just a stripper dancing on stage at the Crazy Horse, long before any magazine appearances. Adelaide is a great city, but I’ve made too many mistakes here. The people I grew up with hold no relevance to my life whatsoever now, it’s got nothing to do with that. It’s just that too many people here know who I am, too many people know me as Ashlee that chick from Penthouse or ZOO or whatever. I’ll never just be able to be ME. The real me is quite shy and insecure, ‘Ashlee’ is just a front I put on for confidence I guess but underneath there’s a real person who isn’t what people think I am. I wanna be somewhere where I can just be me and meet people who don’t know anything about me and who don’t already have an idea of what I’m going to be like because they’ve heard a million different stories about me. Like I’m not saying I think EVERYONE in Adelaide knows who I am, but I can’t go out drinking in a bar without having at least a few people come up to me and ask for photos or whatever, so even if I did meet someone who didn’t know about my past they wouldn’t take too long to catch on. It’s been a fun ride, but I’m craving some kind of normality and anonymity in my life, and LA is gonna be the place to find it!
