Jessica Ashley makes you turn the page. Brown hair, brown eyes, full lips. Twentysomething. Reads Hesse and Miller, says Miller's books were once called dirty the way Playboy once was. That history excites her. She likes being Miss June for the same reason. We found her on Facebook, flew her out, put her in front of the camera. She wants the title. Says Playboy always tells a different story with each woman. She thinks an English major should know not to judge a book by its cover, yet here she is, asking you to judge the magazine by the woman at its center. She quotes Miller back at us: the work matters because of the vision, not the language. Her vision is naked on white sheets. Right now she wants the camera more than she wants grad school. She wants new cities, new bodies, new beds. She calls it a dream. The camera agrees.
