Doing Dallas with “A-List” Star Ashley!

Ain't she gorgeous y'all?

Meet A-List Dallas cast member Ashley! This peacemaker, Bible reader, and Dallas queen of the gays, has her fair share of A-List spots in Dallas to reveal in her tell-all interview. When Ashley isn’t on a boat or playing volleyball, this girl is getting her hair and make-up done for a Dallas-day of people, places, and if you’ve seen the show — margaritas!

This southern belle isn’t just a party hard city girl. Living two hours outside of Dallas has her slapping on her work boots and taking care of her home and husband. Talk about one “real” housewife! So if you want to learn more about Ashley’s favorite hot-spots in Dallas (trust me, you do) check out her interview below!

RESTAURANTS

Fuel City Tacos, Dallas

What’s your favorite bar/restaurant to sit outside?
Taco Diner right in the heart of “The West Village,” a small shopping center which provides an urban vibe, fantastic restaurants, modern decor, and tons of shopping. Go easy on the Mambo Taxis though! They sneak up on you!

Where would you go for your “last meal”? And what would ya order?
I would go to Paciugo! The real Italian ice cream just melts in your mouth and sometimes the shop has a live singer. It’s a great place to go on a first date!

What’s the best restaurant that’s your own secret, that nobody else knows about?
There’s a big secret in Dallas about Fuel City Tacos! It’s a gas station that has amazing tacos.

Paciugo, Dallas

What’s the most authentic Dallas dish and where do you get it?
The closer you get to the border or Mexico, the better the Mexican food. In Dallas, Taco Diner has it all!

Your favorite fast-food/drunk-food/late-night feed?
I really like the pink “SFuzzi” drink at SFuzzi.

And what’s the best fancy, fabulous, splurge-y “A-List” restaurant in Dallas?
The Reunion Tower in downtown has the most amazing view of Dallas. It’s a restaurant that spins while you eat so you can see a 360 view of the beautiful city and country.

Best place for a hangover brunch?
Ewwww.

Where should you eat to spot celebs?
There are a lot of Mavs Players and Dallas Cowboys that eat in the West Village.

BARS

Best place to dance in Dallas?
S4

Gilley's, Dallas

Most authentic cowboy joint/honky-tonk, gay or otherwise?
Gilley’s or the Stock Yards in Ft. Worth

SHOPPING

Hands down, which store do you love the most – and why?
Betsey Johnson = poofy, outrageous dresses!

What’s your favorite little secret store?
I can’t tell.

Best neighborhood for shopping?
The Galleria or Northpark Mall.

SIGHTS, etc.

Describe the best date/artsy night out? Opera? Museum? Music? Or what…?
Nasher Sculpture Center.

What’s your favorite quiet place in Dallas?
My “guncles” house!

Best place to show skin in Dallas?
At a rooftop pool like the Mosiac. They do fashion shows on those rooftops also.

Mosaic, Dallas

Who’s your favorite person in all of Dallas? (Who epitomizes Dallas to you?)
Kitty Carter. She’s my fierce dance teacher.

AND… Who’s your favorite person (or personality) in all of gay Dallas?
My two gay uncles!

FINALLY — What’s your favorite Dallas guilty pleasure? Where, when, how, what?
I LOVE to rhinestone my shoes! If you go to Harry Hines Blvd. you can find rhinestones at wholesale prices. It’s kind of like the “Chinatown.”
