Ashlee Simpson At Victoria’s Secret’s World’s Largest Pajama Party

Ashlee Simpson performed at Victoria’s Secret’s PINK Pajama Party at Hudson River Park on Wednesday (July 19) in New York City.

“I think that we live in a world where everybody is focused on looks and this life is to be lived for yourself and to enjoy it, so whatever makes you feel confident and sexy is what you should do,” Simpson said in the CBS News video viewable below the cut. “I’m feeling great about myself, completely confident and nothing in particular, just feeling good.”

Talking music, Ashlee said, “For me music is about having fun and for me personally, as a performer as an artist, all it’s about is going out there and having a good time, letting go and making sure everybody else is having a good time. As far as critics go, I’m not ever worried about that. I think I’ve taken that.”
