The mythology of Ashley Green has her landing the role of Alice Cullen in Twilight almost as soon as she stepped onto the tarmac in Los Angeles.

But the 25-year-old Florida girl says there was a time when her career wasn’t looking so rosy.

‘In my second year in Los Angeles, when I was eighteen, I wasn’t getting any bookings,’ she says in an interview out today.

‘So I stopped going out, stopped partying. It was a matter of getting to the work. I had to focus.’

The LOL actress moved to Los Angeles from Tampa, Florida, as soon as she finished high school, to pursue an acting career.

In the interview, which appears in the current issue of Esquire magazine, Ashley vamps it up in a provocative collection of lingerie.

In one shot, she lounges on an antique chair in black lacy underwear and a black-and-pink bra.

A sheer pink shirt is slipped over her shoulders but left unbuttoned, leaving little to the imagination.

In another shot, Ashley stands half naked in loose denim jeans and only a white bra, holding a coffee cup and making sleepy eyes at the camera as if she’s just woken up.

In a third shot, the actress sits on a window sill in white underwear, her legs wide open and draped in another open shirt which covers her arms only.

Ashley has been busy of late, and not just with promotional responsibilities for the final installment of Twilight, which is set to come out in November.

The brunette beauty has several films slated for release later this year, including A Warrior’s Heart, in which she co-stars with fellow Twilight actor Kellan Lutz.

She will also be seen alongside Hugh Jackman and Olivia Wilde in Butter, a quirky indy film about a small-town Iowa girl who discovers her talent for butter carving and finds herself pitted against an ambitious local woman in their town’s annual contest.

And from quirky to scary, Ashley has just completed filming on horror flick The Apparition, in which a couple are haunted by a supernatural presence that is unleashed during a college experiment. 

Reflecting on her age in the Esquire interview, the in-demand actress she says she looks forward to being thirty. ‘It’s a good age,’ she says. ‘It’s an age of choices.’

‘What Twilight gave me was years to consider how I wanted to work otherwise.’

This Manga Inspired Lingerie Is Not Cheap

Japan’s Neon Opera Tokyo describes itself as connected to Tokyo via sci-fi, manga, anime, and romance novels. Oh, and underwear.

This batch of made-in-Japan skimpies is part of Neon Opera Tokyo’s “manga girls” line and features, well, manga girls.

Neon Opera Tokyo’s threads are not cheap: a manga girls kimono gown will run you over $600, while a bra costs close to $170.

Here’s how the underwear maker describes the line:

The manga apartment in a remote corner of Akihabara is a three storey building facing south with tiny rooms and shared bathroom and toilet.
The apartment is only for cute girls.
In room 201 there lives an underground idol Miharu, in 202 a part-time maid at a maid cafe named Arisa, in 303 an aspiring romance novel writer Noe, in 305 a singer in a girl band Kyoko, in 301 a secretary at a library Ruka, in 302 a voice actor Yumi, and in 203 and 205 respectively a hero couple Ruru and Chika, in 101 a widow manager Ayano.
One day Ayano says to me.
“Won’t live in 102 as a bodyguard in this restive time?”
The rent is dead cheap, and the tenants are all girls, what a wonderful Akiba life!
I became the only male tenant in Manga apartment.
Without knowing this was the starting point of being popular among girls which is the most annoying time of life.

And you just thought this was expensive underwear with manga images on it. Ha!
