TFK Q&A: Ashley Parker

WHO Ashley Parker - Angel, 19

CLAIM TO FAME Member of O-Town, a pop group formed on ABC-TV's reality show Making the Band.

Q How does it feel to be the youngest member of O-Town?

A It's strange. This happened right out of high school. I auditioned; then I moved from California [to Florida]. But I'm doing something I love.

Q There are so many reality shows. What's special about Making the Band?

A You're seeing what it takes for a group to succeed. If we fail, then you've watched that too.

Q How does it feel to always be on camera?

A Weird at first. It takes about two weeks, and then you're, like, yourself.

Q Is fame all you dreamed it would be?

A I think [having strangers] know who you are is weird. People know our innermost thoughts, feelings and desires.

Q What is it like to have screaming fans?

A Awesome! That's the best part.
