Ashley Blue’s White Trash/Barbie Birthday Bash at Barney’s Beanery

There's a table full of beer pitchers, shot glasses (mostly empty) and one or two wine glasses at Ashley Blue's "surprise party."

It turned out Mary Carey was wrong - Ashley Blue wasn't too busy to read the AVN.com story about the "surprise party" that was purportedly being arranged on her behalf by Mary Carey. She did read it, but she was still surprised; surprised that there was a Barbie theme.

Ashley Blue is not a Barbie girl.

Blue was surprised that Carey had opted for a Barbie theme since the AVN Female Performer of the Year had specifically requested a "White Trash" theme, thus the choice of Barney's Beanery as a location.

The Barbie theme never manifested anyway. Mary Carey loudly enters the room, with Ava Ramone, whom she absolutely adores, on her arm. Gal pal Hannah Harper is floating around the room somewhere with her family.

Carey explains she dropped the Barbie theme when she couldn't find any Barbie party items - instead she pulled together a mish-mash of party balloons - a Tweety Bird balloon, a Cinderalla Balloon, and some other not-Barbie balloon.

The important thing, Carey, notes, is that Blue seems to be having a good time on her birthday. Carey also notes that she's incredibly photogenic as she preens for a photo op.

Barney's is decidedly a non-Barbie venue. Barney's is a bastion of blue-collar beer drinkers who dine on the fat-heavy menu of just about everything you can imagine that tastes good with beer.

Blue is drinking the decidedly non-white trash Hefeweizen, a wheat beer that comes with lemon. Or rather, she was drinking Hefeweizen, a wheat beer that comes with lemon. Right now her pitcher is empty, so I offer to fill it for her.

She says Bud Light is fine, because she knows I'm not making that porn star money. I'm expensing it, so Hefeweizen it is.

Blue-collar bastions aren't known for having adequate parking, and Jeff and Sandy from JM Productions didn't want to risk getting their fancy-schmancy car towed away. So they left. But not before bringing Blue her gift.

Jeff and Sandy pulled the cluster-fucked party together thematically with their gift for their contract performer - a White Trash Barbie; Sprung Barbie, to be exact.

"I absolutely love it," Blue said of Sprung Barbie, with heartfelt emotion that she will probably deny. Her eyes look close to tearing up as her face pouts into an "I'm-so-happy-I-could-cry" expression that reveals a vulnerability one would not expect to find in Girlvert.

It's one of those moments that you very consciously capture, soaking in the moment that her shields have dropped and you're seeing the real woman whose become famous for pushing the limits of her sexuality as Ashley Blue. This is forever how I shall remember Ashley Blue, the slightly inebriated happy-sentimental Ashley Blue. Hardcore queen or not, she's really just a big ol' girl. I want to hug her.

Then I overhear her talking about wanting to beat the fuck out of some porn starlet. I decide not to ask for the hug. I might get hit. Big ol' girl or not, I bet she hits hard.
