Interview with Model and FHM Girl Next Door Finalist Danielle Chong

Hi Danielle, it’s a great pleasure to feature you on SimplySxy. Please share with our readers a little about yourself and where you’re from?

Hi there! Thanks so much for wanting to feature me, I love the online magazine!! My name’s Danielle Chong Su – Lyn and I’m 22 years young 😉 I’m from Malaysia, loud and proud! I’m mixed Kadazan Chinese and I have a twin sister, Michelle. We’re both adopted, our parents adopted us when we were babies. FACT! When I was born, I was given the name Julia. I’m really glad my parents chose Danielle though haha I think it suits me more.

How did you get started into events and modeling?

I honestly never thought I would get into modeling. Growing up, I was a huge tomboy. (I still am) But it never occurred to me that I would ever stand in front of the camera, model and like it. It started with my love for implied nude and nude art. I’ve always admired it. So when I started going to the gym and gaining more and more confidence of my body, I decided to get in front of the camera and start doing my own “thang”. I posted my first (modeling) picture on Instagram and I got so much positive feedback that I decided to get into implied nude and nude photography as well. I used Instagram as a medium to display my work and I never expected to be recognized by my Instagram handle @damnyoudan a few months later. I think a lot of people recognize me by the work I do and that’s probably how I starting getting into events. Also, I’m a really sociable person so events would so be my thing haha.

What was the FHM Girl Next Door experience like for you?

It is definitely one of the highlights of my 2015. I entered FHM Girl Next Door for the experience and to challenge myself. I was so happy when I was told I was selected as a finalist.

On the day I had to shoot for the FHM Girl Next Door segment as well as meet the other girls, I was nervous as hell! I only knew 1 other finalist, Jazel and I was worried all the other girls would be unfriendly and snobbish but DAMN I was so glad I was wrong! All of us clicked instantly over pizza and while getting our make-up done. We had so much fun and laugh every time we had to meet up for an activity throughout the competition and I made so many new girl friends. Being in the competition also opened many doors for me. I got to do things I’ve always wanted to do like go on radio. I also got involved in a few other FHM projects which were really fun. One of the best parts was FHM’s 200th Issue Party at Hard Rock Hotel Penang. That was truly the most awesome weekend.

I also joined FHM Girl Next Door to win and get the title. Though I didn’t win, I learned so many new things and met so many amazing people through this epic journey. So, I wouldn’t say I lost either! 😉

Where can we catch you partying most of the time?

Haha anywhere’s a party for me, as long as there’s good company, music and maybe just a tad bit alcohol. But I’m most likely at Play Club @ the Roof, twentyone kitchen+bar at Changkat Bukit Bintang or La Bodega in Bangsar. I love ladies night!!

Which are your favorite quotes you live by?

1. People will always remember you by how you make them feel.
2. God is greater than your ups and downs (I have it tattooed on my left arm in cheeky symbols)
3. You can f*cking do it!

You have a really cool tattoo strategically drawn on your chest. What’s the story behind it?

Ahh thank you so much! I love my chest tattoo! The story is more about where I decided to get tattooed. You see, I wanted a new tattoo as a little 21st birthday present to myself. I wanted to get tattooed somewhere that wasn’t too common. Immediately I thought of getting it on my chest because I knew I would never be satisfied if I didn’t come through with it. I gave a sample chest tattoo to my artist, Russell and he came up with this design after I told him I wanted something badass.

What do you find attractive in a guy?

I find a guy who can understand my sense of humour ridiculously attractive. Also, a guy who is fit, can make me laugh and is considerate too!

Which is the weirdest attempt a guy has tried to hit on you?

Haha oh my goodness, I have so many weird attempt stories to share. But I think the weirdest to me was when this guy emailed me and asked me to do a shoot with him, sounded all professional and stuff so I replied with my shooting rates. He then told me “Oh I actually wanted to see if you would reply me. Hi beautiful, can I take you out to dinner?”

Uh no. Please don’t ever attempt to ask anyone out this way.

Thank you for taking your time to answer our questions on SimplySxy. One question before we end, how do you define “sexy”? 

Sexy is being confident in your own skin no matter what. And also, I find kindness to be very sexy. So be kind to others.
