Spencer Carlin lives with her family at the Wright-Patterson Air Force base in Fairborn, Ohio, where her father Captain Arthur David Carlin, a career officer, is stationed. He came home late for dinner one evening and handed the young teen a cd.

“I don’t know what this Ashley girl is all about,” he said, “but she must be something special. I stood in line with half the Air Force at Woodsy’s Music to get this for you; everybody wants it.”

Like almost every other kid in America, Spencer liked Ashley but not as fanatically as many of her friends at Baker Junior High school. They all had Ashley T-shirts and Ashley Hats and even lipsticks in colors with names like Dangerous Davies red. Ashley’s everywhere, on magazine covers and in newspaper articles, on the internet and posters.

The first time the young blonde had actually seen Ashley perform was on television. The young rocker was so sexy, with her deep chocolate brown eyes, kissable lips, and raspy voice. Spencer had gazed on amazed as Ashley strutted out to the microphone, smirked and strummed her guitar as she moved her body with unbridled sexuality. Despite herself Spencer was attracted to the young rocker.

One time, just out of curiosity, Spencer picked up a magazine with Ashley on the cover. When she opened it, she was shocked to see a picture of Ashley signing the bare chests of a couple of girls. Of course, Ashley had been very public with her homosexuality, but, actually seeing her in the act of her being openly flirtatious with women baffled little thirteen year old Spencer.

Some members of Ashley’s adult audience were less enthusiastic. They labeled her performances obscene. Paula, Spencer’s mom stated empathetically that Ashley was “a bad influence for teenagers. She arouses things in them that shouldn’t be aroused. If there’s ever a mother’s march against Ashley Davies, I’ll be the first in line.”

Small and petite, with long blonde hair, blue eyes, and an adorable smile, Spencer has always been stared at by the other students. At first girls saw her as a rival, afraid she’d take their boyfriends away. The young blonde always seemed to feel more comfortable with boys and they were usually friendlier.
