As many people scurry to compile all the pieces of our 2026 AEE conversations, we can fill time wonderfully with one left over from 2025. Sometimes when you wait some time between recording and publication, unanticipated things can happen in one’s world. These things can make the conversation even more interesting.
An Ashleigh Skies Conversation
I’m sitting here with Ashleigh Skies, Penthouse Pet of the Month.
Ashleigh: Yay! [laughs]
How do you deal with creative blocks or moments of self-doubt?
Ashleigh: Hmm … That’s a good one. I feel like everyone gets those hate comments — or like push back on what they’re doing. … I even told my friend earlier who came here with me, I deal with them just by pushing past them. Tell yourself ten good things to the one bad thing that happened that day, or that you’re telling yourself. It can really change a lot about how you feel about yourself, or how you project yourself to other people … or even how they feel about themselves. Women sync up their periods. That means we can sync up emotions. I was thinking about that the other day. It’s like a tree. If you grow good roots yourself, you’ll plenish good fruits for other people.
I love that. As someone in the public eye, how do you manage the responsibility that comes with influence?
Ashleigh: I would say public influence is one of the most important things that you can do when you are viewed by so many people, and you just have to take rateability with what you really believe in and not try to skew it — not just in a way where people might understand you, but to where people might find you on a personal level … where you relate to them and how you are a real person, and how you deal with things because everybody deals with stuff differently.
100%. Great answer! What would you like your next big breakthrough to be?
Ashleigh: [laughs] I’ve been talking about this so much lately, actually. I’ve been swapping a lot more to more of a wholesome type content, right? Obviously, we all have to get our sexual energy out in the open where people can feel comfortable with it, but we also have to feel comfortable with ourselves and what we project ourselves to be. So, maybe we’re more modest about it, or maybe we’re more open about it, but me personally … Women are so different to where every year we change what we want and how we want to be loved — how we want to show our sexual animal. Every year I feel like I change. This year, I more so want to show my home ec, housewife type sexuality — not just pure I want to jump your bones, more let me cook for you and then let’s see where things go. So, I’m changing gears as to less people porn, more food porn. [laughs]
I love that. That’s a great one. Imagine if you could erase one memory from your past, would you? Or is there something you would want to relive?
Ashleigh: I would probably want to relive a moment. Every moment makes us who we are, so I wouldn’t take anything away necessarily, but I would definitely add more of a good moment and that moment would definitely be where I fell out of love with what I truly liked and loved and resonated with and could study and rabbit hole in which was my faith. Doing what I do now kind of took me away from that but realizing that I could also be who I am and believe in what I do really got me further into what I am doing next. So, leaning into my faith has been one of the things that has been really monumental. I’m living this way and, yes, I do porn, but at the same time, I want people to know that they can do this and also turn it into something that is beautiful and not just looked as at one type of way. As a society, we can accept each other for who we are and truly just love what we love — not judge each other, just help each other our journey. We’re all just Polly Pockets trying to get through life.
What would you do if you woke up one morning and no one knew or recognized your name?
Ashleigh: I would get a regular job, and I would probably be pretty happy about it. Yeah! Honestly, it’s a fresh start! It’s like a restart at life. I already consider myself to have lived like one life already. This is a second life. That would be a third life. So, it’s like restarting. It’s really nice. That’s a fresh start. I would embrace it.
I love that answer. If you could go back and give your younger self one piece of advice, what would it be?
Ashleigh: Read more books. Read more books and learn about other people’s experiences before you experience it yourself. Ask more questions. Seek out more answers from people who are older than you. Listen to your grandparents. Wow, can I keep going? [laughs]
Yeah! [laughs]
Ashleigh: I mean there’s so many things you want to ask when you’re growing up, and you don’t have answers to that you just … education. Educate yourself. Never stop learning. Never think you know everything, cause you don’t. Just learn everything about whatever you want to learn. Don’t be a … good at everything but a master of nothing. Learn and hone in on what you truly love and believe in and don’t lose your passion for it.
Can you recall a time that you had to make a difficult decision that went against the grain?
Ashleigh: Yes. Constantly in camming, you have a lot of decisions to make: who you’re going to work with and who you trust with your wallet. I would say that was one of the biggest things that affects you personally, so you have to look at finance — who you trust, and who you want to build the trust with.
So, with all that being said … all the women and the people in the industry here are choosing to go with certain media or influence. You have to pick what models you the best and how you feel about yourself, where you want your brand to go. The hardest part is picking people who align with that in this business. So, where you want to go with your life, and what you want to do with it right now.
Image is very important when it comes to the internet, because it’s forever. And … a lot of people like to joke and say “Oh, good thing the internet’s not forever!” But it is. So, you have to pick the people that you trust the most with that and, for me, the hardest decision that I’ve had to pick as far as to steer my life, and how I want my image pursued … or portrayed in the future, would be put in the hands of my future and image. Your likeness is the biggest thing that you have here and, unless you’re willing to give all of that up and become somebody else, you have to pick somebody who models that. For me, myself, it has just been me. I haven’t picked anybody, because nobody knows you how you know yourself.
So, my biggest decision has been to step back from the mainstream having somebody do your stuff for you and stepping up and doing myself, which is very hard. Maybe it loses a little bit of money, but at the same time, you … what do you gain? You gain yourself, your image, and you have your own likeness in your hands. That’s been a big thing for me for like five years now. This will be the 5th year.
Wow … Great answer!
Ashleigh: Thank you!
What’s a misconception about your life or career that you wish you could dispel?
Ashleigh: Who I really am. What I really do for fun and what I really am about … I feel like Hannah Montana. I’m living one life, but truly everything that makes me happy is the complete opposite, and you know it’s fun that people know one image of me, and then I get to go home and be myself. Um … There’s a lot of things, but that would be one of them. [laughs]
That’s amazing. How do you define happiness, and what does it mean to you personally?
Ashleigh: Happiness … Happiness isn’t just a feeling; it’s a verb. It’s what you do, because what you do can mentally change how you are and how you react to every situation, just like love. Both of them are verbs. It’s what you choose to do, and it can affect you in so many ways. It can affect your mentality. It can affect your friends around you, your group. You are the five people you hang around with most, so if those people have the best energy, you will be a ball of energy and be able to give that to the people around you.
That’s good. Ok. Social medias … What’s your socials?
Ashleigh: So, I changed my handles a little. I felt like it was time for a little upgrade on that, although my OnlyFans is still badbabysitter because I am for hire. [laughs]
As we understand recent events, and even as hinted to here, Ashleigh has changed her focus a bit over the past few months and — surprised though some may be — we wish her peace and happiness on her new journey. People change over time, and really only in retrospect might we determine whether they evolved or devolved, but either way, we each choose our own paths. If you have forgotten, feel free to compare and contrast. … We love doing that. For our part, at the very end we simply hope we can say, “what a long, strange trip it’s been.” … Also, we might need to reconsider the five people we hang around with most.
