TURN-ONS: Good looks are fine, but to really get me going I need a man who challenges me intellectually.

TURN-OFFS: Arrogent, cocky, disrespectful, rude and egotistical men.

THE MAN I LOOK UP TO: My father- it almost sounds like an Army commercial, but he’s taught me to be all that I can be.

MY DREAM FIRST DATE: Dinner for two then a walk on the beach.

Her parents moved their tight knit family from California to the island of Oahu when Ashley was just two years old. (Her mother is of Hawaiian descent.) "I was raised to keep my priorities straight and have a serious work ethic," she announces. True to her hardwiring, for the past couple of years she has worked part-time as a supervisor for a not-for-profit organization while pursuing an associate’s degree in liberal arts. Lucky for us, she also found time to become Miss December. "These pictures are totally me," Ashley says, "because I love Christmas, which for me is all about food, family and presents. And this year Hef has given me the best Christmas present ever!"
