Ashley Degenford (born
Peoria, Illinois, 1979) is an
American model who is probably best known for winning
Perfect 10 Magazine's first annual model search in 1998. She also appeared dressed in lingerie as a movie premiere correspondent who interviewed Hollywood stars on the red carpet and later as an adult video critic, alongside John Webber, on
The X Show on
FX. Ashley has continued her association with
Perfect 10, most recently singing the national anthem at one of

Elite modeling agency.
