Hi Ashley, What do you do aside from being an international model? Got any interesting side gigs or a day job? 

Aside from being an international model, I am also an entrepreneur in the beauty business. I’ve been working on creating my own lashes for awhile now and can not wait to show you guys what I have in store!  


You’ve got 1.2 million followers on IG, in this age of the influencer though is it still about big follower counts or something else?

To most people having a huge following can be a big deal but in reality it’s not all about how many followers you have or how many likes/views you get. What’s more important is to stay true to yourself and produce content that you love and enjoy–not just for the likes. 


Fans can buy an official Ashley Vee pillow. Was this your idea or did someone convince you to do it?

Funny you asked that question because someone actually convinced me to do it and it became a huge success!


Will using it give us some sweet dreams?

Cuddle with it and it will definitely give you some sweet dreams and more! *wink* 


What’s the weirdest Ashley Vee merch you would like to produce?

Let's just say I have received a lot of weird Ashley Vee merch requests, but nothing I am very interested in producing, ha ha! My next project next is to focus on my beauty line. 


Models selling their own stuff is only done by a few, does that mean you’ve got a business-minded persona?

Thinking back, the first calendar I released actually paid for my first car I ever bought myself! A model can take a pretty picture, but a businesswoman knows how to take that same pretty picture and get paid for it. It's a tough business for some and easy living for a few. So, yes I would say I have a pretty business-minded persona. 


When’s the last time you were in the Philippines? What did you do? Or any plans to come here again soon and catch up?

The Last time I was in the Philippines was last November. It was for my mom's birthday and I wanted to treat her to a nice relaxing vacation on the island of Palawan–she absolutely deserved it! I definitely would love to go back to the Philippines real soon and hopefully we can shoot again!
