People magazine has scored the first interview with ex hooker Ashley Dupre. She’s the chick who destroyed the career of New York Governor Elliot Spitzer. Looking super unsexy, in a frilly purple outfit that looks like was chosen by her Grandmother, says “I’m just a normal girl.” Yes, all us “normal girls” make $5k a night for sleeping with politicians.

People Mag Reports:

“Everyone knows me as ‘that girl,’ but I’m not just ‘that girl,’ ” the 23-year-old former escort says in the new issue of PEOPLE, on sale Friday. “I have a lot of depth, a lot of layers.”

Enduring a media spotlight that included seeing her MySpace photos splashed on front pages “has been really hard,” the New Jersey native explains. “But I’m a survivor.”

Her descent into tabloid mayhem began the night of Feb. 13, 2008, when Dupré — who had worked as a high-end escort to help pay the bills on and off since 2004 — met a client who turned out to be the Governor of New York.

Dupré claims she had no idea who the man was that night. What she does recall is that “Client 9,” as Spitzer was reportedly known at her escort service (which was shut down in March), “was polite.

“Some guys, they want to have conversations and really get to know each other. With him, it clearly was not like that. It was more of a transaction. Strictly business.”

Now living with her mother and stepfather in New Jersey, Dupré says she has learned her lesson, and then some.

“I’m 23 years old,” she says. “I want to do music, to do fashion, to write books — there’s so many things.” One thing she won’t be doing: selling her body to make ends meet. “No,” she says. “Never again.”

I can’t understand why Elliot Spitzer would throw away his career for a high class hooker? He should have found himself a married mistress. Oh well, now Ashley Dupre is going to launch her own “high class hooker” fashion line. I hope it’s not that purple frilly stuff. Maybe she should pair up with Sheree Whitfield from Real Housewives of Atlanta.
