Playboy cover girl Cindy Margolis told sexy SmackDown Diva Ashley she’d be a great model for the magazine. RAW Diva Candice Michelle was a Playboy cover model, too, and she offers WWE.com some insight on Ashley’s tough decision-making process.

WWE.com: What makes Ashley a good candidate for Playboy magazine?
Candice: Besides the obvious, she is a blonde bombshell. What I love are her tattoos and piercings – they make her so different from any other bombshell. She is truly unique. Ashley is perfect for Playboy! She is beautiful and has great character.

WWE.com: What’s the best part about posing for Playboy?
Candice: For me, the best part was fulfilling a dream. It’s such a huge accomplishment to be considered to be in Playboy, but gracing the cover as a celebrity is just freaking awesome!

WWE.com: What does it feel like posing nude in front of the photographers?
Candice: They are so professional and make you feel so comfortable, sometimes you forget you’re naked! They have seen so many beautiful, naked ladies, I think they view you as art and not a piece of meat.

WWE.com: How do you compare the experience of being nude in an intimate photo shoot setting with that of being partially nude in the ring in front of tens of thousands of people and a massive TV audience?
Candice: I never really think of it like that! I just always try to give 110 percent in my performance – that’s on a magazine cover or in the ring. However, there’s no better feeling than the excitement of the WWE fans live. It sends shivers down my spine just thinking about it.

WWE.com: What are some negatives of posing for Playboy that people might not realize?
Candice: I didn’t have any negatives with it. You have to realize what you’re doing and personally feel comfortable with whatever you do.

WWE.com: What advice do you have for Ashley during the decision-making process?
Candice: Do what is best for yourself and follow what your personal dreams are, then everything will fall into place!

WWE.com: As Ashley considers whether or not to do Playboy, what is she mulling over in her head right now?
Candice: Who knows?! It’s so personal, I’m sure she’s full of excitement!

WWE.com: If Ashley decides to do it and you were art-directing her shoot, what type of setting and clothes would you like to see Ashley in (and out of)?
Candice: I would like to see her in her rocker-style clothes. It’s her personality and I think she is very hot being a rocker chick blonde bombshell!

WWE.com: Ashley is a blonde, just like Hef likes. Any chance she gets added to the "rotation?"
Candice: That’s up to Ashley! I’m sure though the cards are in her hands, I think hands down, Hef would be interested, but I don’t think that’s Ashley’s style. But I’ll add her to my rotation any day! (Chuckle, chuckle!)
