Porn Valley Dispatch: Teach Ashley To Write A Business Letter

The archetype of the stripper working her (or his) way through college has become an uniquely American success story. And while we have no problem with naked pleas for money from those who are themselves naked, pornstress Ashley Steel's new perennial paysite, Send Ashley To College, makes us wonder how she is "pursuing a doctorate in psychology" when some junior college graduated her without first determining if she could write a cover letter.

First off, here is Steel (with Lacie Heart) from Ron Royster's "Atomic Vixens". So you know she's serious about getting what she needs (in this case, Lacie Heart on the floor).

We first covered Steel's college aspirations back in 2005, but handlers have mounted a new fund drive, ostensibly for the rigors of her doctoral studies (once she gets her B.A.).

Steel writes on her website that she moved to Los Angeles and loves it, but times are hard.

After getting my Associates Degree from a Jr. College in Orange County, I've just started my 3rd year at one of the top 5 public Universities here in the United States. That's right, beauty AND brains... it's a rare combination, I know!

Didn't someone tell her to spell out her numerals under ten? And that ellipses have three dots?

I heard girls could make money running their own websites online, so I figured I'd try it out.

Where else does one run a website?

College can get expensive and I am paying for it all on my own. Even with student loans, it hasn't been enough to cover my expenses.

What is it? Better: "My student loans and my own contributions are not enough to cover expenses."

My family is struggling themselves and cannot help me.

Subject/verb agreement. Family is singular.

In fact, I will be the first person in my family to receive a college degree! Coming from the place I've come from, this is quite an accomplishment.

Orange County?

We wish Steel great success in her academic career, and we hope the PhD. will be there for us when we have a psychotic break about the uselessness off our own liberal arts educations.
