Multiple Magazine Covers, A-List Fan Base and … Broke! TLC Makes a Splash With ‘Ashley Paige: Bikini or Bust’

    LOS ANGELES, June 18 /PRNewswire/ — TLC announced today that it will premiere the new program, “Ashley Paige: Bikini or Bust” on July 11th at 10 PM & 10:30 PM ET/PT. The docu-series goes inside the life of Ashley Paige, a renowned bathing suit designer who had it all — magazine covers, A-list celebrities wearing her bikinis, a brand-new store in Los Angeles … in short, a promising career in the fashion world. But, just as quickly as she became an overnight sensation, she hit rock bottom. Currently, Ashley can barely make rent, let alone successfully run her business. But that’s all about to change as she embarks on a journey to take all of her potential and turn it into success.

    “I’m grateful the universe sent me on this journey; I have manifested my dreams through hard work and exhilarating moments. The path I took taught me that I am an artist, not a businessperson. I am excited for people to get a real look into what it takes to make it in the fashion world, from the bottom up — one string at a time,” explained Ashley. Read more
