LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE via COLLEGIATE PRESSWIRE)--Oct 29, 2002--Over 4 million American women under the age of 25 would pose nude on the Internet if the price was right, according to the results of a survey announced today. The right price? A cool $20,000 -- precisely the sum being offered to potential Danni Girls by Danni Ashe, founder and CEO of Danni`s Hard Drive and the World`s Most Downloaded Woman, who commissioned the Roper survey.
''Although Attorney General John Ashcroft seems to think naked statues are a corrupting influence, this survey clearly highlights how American attitudes towards nudity are changing,'' Ashe said. ''In my experience brains and bust-lines mix perfectly with business, and I want to find the 1 in 12 women that agree with me.''
Ms. Ashe believes her Danni Girls will re-define what it means to be a pinup in the 21st century, and prove the pinnacle of a nude modeling career is not dating some old guy in his pj`s.
''I`m looking for women who can impress in the boardroom and the bedroom, women who know that posing nude doesn`t define them as a dumb bunny,'' said Ashe.
In addition to $20,000 in cash and a chance to win $100,000 as the Danni Girl of the year, each Danni Girl will be given a head start in the business world with her own subscription website, supported by Danni`s Hard Drive.
''Imagine every Playboy Playmate being given her own magazine with Hugh Hefner`s blessing,'' said Ashe. ''That`s equivalent to what I`m about to do. I want every Danni Girl to enjoy a sizable, reliable income in the years following her time with us.''
Ashe`s enthusiasm for helping young women follow in her footsteps, as a successful entrepreneur, is at the core of the Danni Girl idea. She wants to appeal to beautiful women who see a life beyond meeting a wealthy boyfriend or getting a bit-part on TV.
''Being a Danni Girl is more than a modeling job. It`s a chance for young women to pay for college, get practical business experience and build a future on their own terms. Cute co-eds should think of it as an `Endowment for the Well Endowed,` and the chance to add some really interesting extra-curricular activities to their resume.''
Ashe will reveal the first Danni Girl in February and is taking applications online at dannigirl.com.
