What did you think when trying on the teenie bikinis? Did people give you a hard time about not wearing it when you guys went to Huntington Beach?
Ha! Well at first I was excited! I thought, "Oh yay! Me, Linds, and Christen get to go pick out new bikinis just in time for summer! Then to my surprise, we get there and our bosses are there! They are awesome and I love them, but I did not feel comfortable trying on bathing suits in front of them! I know how a bathing suit looks on me when I'm looking at myself in a mirror -- why do I need to come out and show it off?! Its one thing being at the beach or a pool, but well you know what I mean! I don't even go bathing suit shopping with my dad! So, I finally get into the dressing room and start trying some suits on ... and, well,l what do you know ... I need small bottoms and let's just say a larger top! None fit! So sorry, but there was no way in hell that i was coming out of the dressing room with an itty bitty top on! I was blessed with a chest, but I'm more conservative with what I wear and I'm not the type to show it off!
About working in Huntington .. .people can say whatever they want about me being "unprofessional" for not wearing a bathing suit while working. I feel like there are other ways for people to try our energy drink. If that's all we can do to bring people to liking OC Energy, well then we are not doing our jobs very well! I understand that sex sells, but I have a brain too, and I feel i can do so much more with that! So yeah, I got a hard time for it, but it doesn't bother me.
What was going through your mind when the cops kept showing up?
Ha -- are we getting punk'd? Seriously where is Ashton!? Just kidding. But I mean Geez Louise, cut some cute girls a break already! People were asking us if we were filming for Cops! I was also pretty frustrated because there were conflicts with not having a permit for passing out our drinks ... and all that stuff should have been handled prior to the event! Oh, and our bosses totally told us to make that U-turn! Poor Christen ... she just had traffic school!

I was flipping through the channels and and came across the episode with the teenie bikinis. I would imagine almost anyone would feel uncomfortable with all those old men around them while you're trying out something that's, well, so "revealing."
Not to mention I think Bravo failed to censor Lindsey's (I believe its Lindsey) image in the mirror when she's trying to put on her bikini. Those of us in the room cocked our heads slightly as though we didn't believe what we just saw.
Anyways, obviously Ashley is our favorite "real kid" because she's the funniest.

I did'nt blame Ashley at all for not coming out in a bikini 2 sizes too small for her. The O C Angels bosses was a little to anxious to see the girls. I know a certain look sells these days but if Ashley plans to work in real eastate she should be very careful in all the decisions she makes because you never know who a potental client will be in the future.

I am totally in agreement with you over the bikini situation and I'm glad you had the backbone to stick to your standards.

First let me just say how proud of Ashley I am for sticking to her morals and not putting on that teenie bikini. Honestly those men should have not been there and shouldn't have expected young women to put on such little bikinis and walk around in them selling a product. I totally stand behind Ashley and she should be proud of herself and know that other girls her age are proud of her too!

Ashley I am so proud of you. You have so much class for such a young girl. I am very sorry that your mother said that Sophie is the only child who hasn't dissappointed her yet. You shouldn't look at what she calls disappointments the same way as she does. It's called learning experiences and life is full of them for everyone one at any age. You keep up the good work and stay real. Your mother could learn some lessons from you. take care

Oh my goodness that bikini segment was to say the least creepy!! Those geezers really didn't need to even be there. I don't care if they are the owners. You girls could have easily selected your bikinis on your own......Yuck

Well i really think that it's not really professional on your bosses behalf because yall are young adults and i think that you girls are responsible enough to find some bikinis that were suitable enough for your work enviroment,they looked like they were more into looking at you girls in your bikinis you should have seen the looks on there faces and i just wanted to say i love the show and i watch it all the time even the reruns.

I think you are a very strong and determined woman. I love the fact that you live life to the fullest and you strive for the best, no one is perfect we all have our down falls, but you carry your head high and you work through it. I think it says a lot when you are as young as you are and such a beautiful person on the inside (and out).

Thank you, Ashley, for not wearing that bathing suit in front of those nasty old men. Finally someone who has it and can flaunt it chooses to be a true lady instead. All too often I watch TV and think to myself, "no wonder it's hard to find a man who doesn't think women were put here for their own personal pleasure." So many women think they're being "strong" because they allow men to gawk at them. I think as women we're even raised to believe that, but the truth is, no man cares what's in your head if the first thing they see is your T&A. If you caught heck for that, I would think they should be afraid of sexual harassment complaints after seeing themselves on the show. Nasty old perverts. Hopefully Kristen will follow your lead, she appears to be the type of girl that would give out sexual favors in order to keep that Hummer. I hope I am wrong about that and am ashamed that it sounds so harsh. But she needs to know what type of impression she's giving off. I'm sure she doesn't want people to see her that way.

I think Ashley is beautiful and that her beauty is hers to share. No one should be forced to model bikinis, especially for those old men who are abusing their positions as the bosses. Having those men in the bikini store was just wrong. I wonder if they were embarassed when they saw themselves on TV.

Dude Ashley, you guys are all a bunch of cuties. I would buy OC energy drinks from you regardless of what your wearing. (: But its totally understandable about modeling a bathing suit in front of your bosses, especially if it didnt fit right. I dont even know them, or you, but when I saw that part of the show, I felt a little creeped out/ embarressed myself. Well, the show rocks, you guys keep doin' your thing. -Austinposted on December 21, 2007 at 5:49 AM

Hey, Ashley. I was so proud of you for NOT wearing your bikini. I have the same problem that you do-small bottom and big top-and bathing suit shopping can be a nightmare! As for your two bosses-I get a sleazy vibe from them. They're like two dirty old men! I'd consider finding work elsewhere.

What made the OCAngels think that they could get out of a ticket from the Huntington Beach Cop. I mean they flipped a
u-turn on a hot summer afternoon on the busiest street in HB right near the pier backing up traffic.
AND I can't believe they actually said that they didn't have a license plate on their car because "it didn't match" the Hummer.
Question: Was the cop an A-hole or just doing his job!

The bikini scene was SO gross. Ashley should get out of OC Energy Drinks and direct all of her focus on real estate. Maybe get an internship at a brokerage?

The old leeches/perverts are only investing in that OC "drink" so they can ogle at all of their "angels". When they tire of having to pay in order to ogle, they'll stop investing in that OC "drink".

You go, Ashley! I loved your comment about wanting to be respected for being "ethical". That is something that is very important to me too. I think you are warm and kind and wise beyond your years. I love the show, and wish you all the best when you go for your real estate license in January.

I'm glad you didnt wear the bathing suit. They were way too skimpy. Because you have a Hummer and the license plate doesnt match, doent mean that you dont have to put it on. Also, shouldnt you bosses know about what you legally need to pass out drinks. Anything could be put in those drinks.

Ashley, you were so smart to realize what those guys were doing. Friends and partners of your dad or not, they are not
who you want to be working for. I admire you for sticking to your principals when in Huntington. O.C. does not need this kind of showing off. Find another job. Give you sister a hug, she needs you, she is in severe pain and denial and needs help.

Finally, someone stood up to creepy men trying to exploit the sexuality of young girls. Good on you Ashley.
However, I really think you need to grow up and be more responsible. Lauri makes too many excuses for you.

Just curious---why didn't you offer to help Lindsay and her sister pay for their meals inSouth Beach? Just last season, you and your mom were in the same position (not as much money as you would like, not able to do everything you would like) as those girls are now that Lou passed away. Maybe it was the editing, but it looked like you realized that money was tight for them, but you didn't offer to help. Why not? Thanks.

I also flinch when your mom makes comments about Sophie being the only child who has yet to disappoint her. I'm a mom, and can't imagine saying that about my kids. Over time, comments like that could cause harm to your relationship with Sophie. I agreee with you- Sophie is still young yet, and all children will disappoint their parents at some point.
I was also glad to see that you stood up for yourself and didn't come out and parade around in a too small bikini. In today's society, sex appeal is used to sell numerous products, but it shouldn't be that way. You made the right decision when you refused to wear the suit to the promotion on the beach.

Just want to say that I hope the mothers watch this episode and YANK their daughters IMMEDIATELY from the OC Energy Drink job. Those "Bosses" (if you could call them that) were DISGUSTING!!!!! The girls aren't much more than children, yet the men huddling around the dressing rooms, oogling eyes, practically drooling.....this sickened me. Grown, 'Professional" men would have sent a female chaperone in with the girls, and let them chose from the bikinis, and dare them tell MY child that it wasn't "skimpy enough". Tsk, Tsk, Tsk.
Just 3 words,
Get 'Em Moms!!!

I like your personality, you are such a good women! very humble especialy around George's and McKenzie, I love the ways you handled things.
I met the OC Angels Lindsey and Christen on New Year Eve in OC Fair, they are so nice and very sweet! They took pictures with us. We are so happy and send those pictures to my friends they will very jealous that I met them! Where was you? (Just kidding) You OC girls so beautiful! I think Christen doing her job as a Head of Angels is fine. Don't know why they change??
I am so happy for your Mom.
Have a great New Year!

Hi Ashley,
Just wanted to say I am 43 years old and I am impressed with you! I like how you said you want to wait to get married; what a smart young lady you are! From what I've seen with my friends, the ones that waited until close to 30 yrs old to get married are the ones still married and the ones that are happily married. I personally don't believe a girl in her early or even mid 20's really knows what she wants from life. I am speaking also from my own experience. You are smart to date around and learn what you want and need in someone. And I'm sure you won't and don't have any shortage of men interested in you because you are the most gorgeous out of all the women/girls on the show. I was also impressed when you wouldn't get in the teeny bikini in that one episode. I don't know if you agreed to wear it initially (it's been a while since that episode) but I think when you were in the situation you weren't comfortable flaunting your body. I just liked that about you. (and you have the best bod of them all). Good luck to you and keep enjoying your life, it seems like a great one!
-Sarah

I think its great ashley didnt wear the bikini. First of all I thought it was incredibly creepy of those old men to be there checking them out. Everyone one knows sex sells...even an idiot could have thought of wearing bikinis as a marketing tactic. these guys should try to think of an innovative way to sell their drink and maybe it would minimize their creepiness and then eveyrone would be comfortable!! i think ashley is gorgeous but also think that she needs to stop relying on her mom so much for financial support. i am the same age as her and get zip from my family and im surviving haha!
