Hi Ines, thank you for taking the time to answer our questions. Please share with our readers a little about yourself and where you’re from?
Bonjour, my name is Ines. I was born and raised in Los Angeles, however I am full Tunisian (that’s in Northern Africa). I speak fluent French because my family is also from France. Which is also home after LA. I grew up dancing as a kid and later studied photography. My mom is a huge part of why I love fashion, styling, and the finer things in life.
What is a typical day like for yourself?
Coffee. Emails. Coffee. Take photos. Coffee.
Which genre of modeling are you particularly drawn to?
I love high fashion photography and modeling, but lifestyle is also great. Especially the street style kind.
Do you have any hobbies?
I studied photography in High School and College so; I love to take photos even though I’m usually getting photos taken.
Is there a favorite quote or motto you live by?
This Too Shall Pass. Which was actually my first tattoo.
What is the funniest thing that has happened to you?
Once my friend was urgently texting me to come downstairs because we were late for a concert and I assumed the first car that I saw was her. Nope. I ended up sitting in the back of a stranger’s car.
How much do you love coffee?
Way too much. My first cup of coffee was when I was 10 and I absolutely loved it. It soon became a dream to open my own coffee shop. One day it’ll happen.
What can a guy do to turn you off on a date?
Talking about himself the whole time, not making eye contact, or being on his phone.
It is a pleasure to feature you, Ines. One question before we end, how do you define “sexy”?
Hi Kaitlin it is a pleasure to feature you on SimplySxy. Please share with our readers a little about yourself and where you’re from?
Hi everyone! I’m originally from Vancouver, BC and I moved out to Toronto, ON 4 years ago. I’m still based out east, but I am currently traveling full time and working as a model. Last year I did a tour across Canada, and then traveled through Europe, and this year I have many more exciting trips planned!

What is one thing someone should never say to a model?
Oh there are so many things… But probably “You just stand there and look pretty”. Many people don’t realize all of the additional skills required to be a successful model, especially if you are working freelance. You are your own agent, you manage yourself as a business, you promote your work and market yourself through social media, you are often a makeup artist, a hair stylist, and a wardrobe stylist in addition to being a model. There is a lot of work involved!

Which is your most memorable travel experience so far?
I really enjoyed my trip to Europe at the end of last year. I started in London, and then traveled to Amsterdam, Berlin, Madrid, Barcelona, and Paris over the course of 3 months. I can’t wait to go back and see more!

Do you talk to yourself often?
Sometimes I’ll give myself a little pep talk if I really need it.

If you could choose to be a fictional character, who will it be?
Hermione Granger! I am a complete Harry Potter nerd and I think her character is brilliant.

What do you consider the most important appliance in your home?
My kitchen appliances are very important to me! I love my Vitamix, food processor, and slow cooker.

Lamest or worst pickup line you have heard?
“I’m no photographer, but I can picture us together”.

Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions Kaitlin. One question before we end, how do you define “sexy”?
Thank you so much! I define sexy as feeling comfortable and confident in who you are.
Hi Anabelle, thank you for taking the time to answer our questions. Please share with our readers a little about yourself and where you’re from?
HELLOO SEXY PEOPLE! I’m so happy to be sharing with you guys! About myself, I was born and raised in the BAY AREA! Will always be a California girl!!! I’m a workaholic so I keep myself busy most of time. When I’m not working I’d go to the gym, working out is super addicting! I shop ALOT and eat BIG. I LOVE FOOD I mean who doesn’t? Haha.
What is your fashion style like?
If I had time to be a fashionista I would! Recently I been dressing more casual and sometimes I would add a bit of chíc into it. For example, big sweaters and thigh high boots or a crop top with leggings. Long jackets, blazer or an oversized outerwear just to finish off my look. The only time I would really dress up is when I’m on vacation.
What’s your favorite personality trait you like about yourself?
Being outgoing. I know that’s the major trait that expresses who I am, and making people laugh. I love seeing people happy and that makes me feel like I’m doing something right.
Where do you usually party?
When I’m back home with my friends we’d just go to bars or clubs and that usually is daily LOL. I’m currently living out of state so mostly I just work. No parties.
Which fictional character do you wish was real?
Peter from Family Guy. His weirdness is awesome! Relates to me. Lmao.
Do you sing in the shower?
Always. Love singing!
What item at home can you use as a weapon if there is a zombie apocalypse?
A hair straightener!!!
Worst date experience ever?
I mean, all of them are quite good and perfect. Don’t think I went through a bad one. Yet… lol.
It is a pleasure to feature you, Anabelle. One question before we end, how do you define “sexy”?
Sexy..nowadays if you don’t know them of course it would be based on looks which attracts people first but to know the real definition of sexy you have to experience it through a person. Personality wise or having confidence. Believing in yourself and being independent is what I see is sexy. Thank you so much! Hope all is best!
Hi Jessica it is a pleasure to feature you on SimplySxy. Please share with our readers a little about yourself and where you’re from?
Hello! My name is Jessica Lim. I was born and raised in KL. I’m the eldest among my 3 other siblings (I have two younger sisters and a younger brother). After I made Melbourne my home for the past 4 years (It is still home to me), I recently moved back to KL. Currently, I am running and working on a start up business with my family.
How will you describe your fashion style?
Practicality and simplicity at its best.
What was the experience like participating at the Miss Malaysia World 2016?
Where do I even start… Firstly, I would like to clarify that I was never a pageant girl. To be honest, I never thought that I would be in a pageant or even be a pageant girl myself. I used to see friends being on pageants but never thought I would be in one. How it all started was my family and friends’ idea (They were quite “persuasive”, I would say). Can’t thank them enough for everything they’ve done since day one. If it wasn’t for them, encouraging and supporting me in every way possible, I wouldn’t be where I am today. It was a huge step for me, to take the leap of faith and step out of my comfort zone . Not only I am more confident in my own skin now, I gained many valuable life experiences and lessons. Besides, I met a lot of new and cool people as well (Here’s to new friendships!).
Do you have any hobbies?
I have a lot of things I enjoy doing. I’ve always loved painting. I’ve been painting since I was 5 or 6 years old, growing up with having the love and interest in doing arts and craft because it comes naturally to me . Can’t really explain why and how, it just makes sense to me. I extended one more year in my Bachelor Degree in Communication Design when I was in Melbourne just so I could take up a couple of extra subjects in fine arts. I love yoga too! I used to love doing just weight training and cardio but later fell in love with yoga ever since about a year ago when I first joined a yoga class in Melbourne. Got so hooked with yoga I actually went for classes at least twice everyday for 3 months straight. I love doing photography as well but due to time constraints, my camera is hibernating at home at the moment.
Where do you love to shop from?
There’s no specific place, I tend to just buy if I see something I really like. I usually shop online (Asos / Boohoo).
If you could choose to learn anything in this world, what will it be?
I would love to learn how to be happy and content with myself and my life. Well, no one is always happy nor content with life. I know for one fact that most of us are greedy. We constantly strive to gain or earn, be it a reward or an experience. Sometimes we do so much to achieve our goals, we tend to lose ourselves. After these achievements, we think to ourselves, ” So, what’s next ?” We can never have enough and it’s not wrong to feel that way . It’s just that sometimes it gets too overwhelming, I forgot how to take a step back, take a good look at myself and be happy and content with myself. I’m still learning.
How much of a foodie are you?
Every part of me screams food! I would say I live to eat. Unfortunately just a year ago, I found out that I am sensitive to gluten. And since then, I have been living on a gluten free diet (So sucky I know).
Have you ever had a bad date experienced to share?
Fortunately, I have none. Let’s just hope that it stays this way, forever. Haha.
Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions Jessica. One question before we end, how do you define “sexy”?
I find sexy in a person’s confidence , it speaks for itself . It’s not defined by words ( It is not about how outspoken one is ) nor physique , but rather comfortable in your own skin and shine bright from being who you really are.

Hi Joanne it is a pleasure to feature you on SimplySxy. Please share with our readers a little about yourself and where you’re from?
Thank you SimpleSxy for the feature! My name is Joanne and I am from Singapore. I am turning 19 this year and doing my A levels. I have a strong passion for travel, animals and music. I’m currently doing my diploma in piano. In the future, I hope to venture into the technology or music industry. I am extremely against the abuse of animals which is the main reason why I have decided to adopt a vegetarian lifestyle.
How will you describe your fashion style?
Well, I guess my fashion style is usually something simple and comfortable. I think it’s extremely important to put in effort to dress well as it reflects on a person’s character. However, I don’t think you need to spend a lot on what you wear. I will never understand why some people are willing to spend $500 on an entire outfit. I think it’s also important to dress comfortably. Wear shoes that you feel comfortable with rather than a pair of platforms which you can barely walk in.
If you could shop for free from any shop, which one will you choose?
Sephora! There are so many different types and brands of makeup to choose from so I’ll be spoilt for choices.
Do you believe in any superstition?
Always knock 3 times before entering a hotel room HAHA am I the only one who does this?
What is the best compliment you have received?
When someone told me that I have a heart of gold HAHAHA.
If you could choose to learn anything in this world, what will it be?
I hope to learn how to make the world a better place for everyone. Many people believe that they don’t have what it takes to make a difference to the world. The truth is, we can contribute in our own way. It does not have to be anything drastic. It can be something you do with the intention of doing good.
Which are your favourite types of food?
Definitely cheese! I can eat all types of cheese. Whenever I eat pasta with my friends, they’re always amazed how half a bottle of parmesan cheese can magically disappear.
How will you describe an ideal date?
I think its absolute mandatory to keep it simple. I don’t need a bouquet of flowers (by the way, I really hate flowers) or dinner at an expensive restaurant. It is important to get to know each other as much as possible. I want someone with values like honesty and respect so if the person is willing to sit down and take things slow, I think that’s the ideal date for me.
Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions Joanne. One question before we end, how do you define “sexy”?
When they exude confidence.

Hi Lidia, thank you for taking the time to answer our questions. Please share with our readers a little about yourself and where you’re from?
Hello! My name is Lidia Win. I am half Vietnamese and half Chinese. I was born in Chinatown – Los Angeles – I know I’m super Asian lol. I graduated from ASU with a Bachelor’s in Biochemistry in 2014 and I own several businesses.
How will you describe your fashion style?
I would say my style is ‘Urban Glam’. During the days I like to dress very comfortably. My daily outfits usually involve a fresh pair of sneakers with some baggy joggers and a crop top. I absolutely love getting dolled up- my night life attire involves flashy dresses and some killer heels.
Where did your interest in makeup start?
It started in high school. I grew up pretty much a tomboy and one year I decided I needed to “learn how to be a girl” lol. I started watching YouTube tutorials and saw all the crazy face paint that the gurus would do. I was amazed and started practicing on myself.
What makeup products should every lady own?
I can’t leave the house with out my eyebrows so I would say the dip brow pomade from Anastasia Beverly Hills. Also a good mascara, I personally like Too Faced “better than Sex” mascara.
Do you have any other hobbies?
I have tons! I love working out – I have a trainer for strength training and I like doing pilates as well. I also like food blogging because food is life.
What is the funniest thing that has happened to you?
OMG lol. So I came home one night running to the bathroom due to food poisoning and when I finally felt better I passed out- forgetting to lock our apartment door. Mind you I am like hitler when it comes to locking our door- I’ve locked my roommate out a few times . Anyways around 5am, I hear things being knocked off of my tv stand. I wake up to a figure in front of my tv- spitting imaging of the ring! I flipped out and this figure starts walking towards me and plops onto my bed. I legit thought it was a demon. When I finally realized it was a girl my inital thought was like “Is this Linda Huynh? We didn’t arrange for a sleep over“, so I ask her “Hey who are you?”
She responds “Tori” at this point I assumed she was my roommates friend (my roommates name is Kim). I proceeded by telling her to sleep on the couch. She replies by telling me to sleep there if I wanted. I’m pretty mad at this point- my inner ratchet was coming out and was getting ready to choke her lol. So I call Kim to come get her friend. Come to find out that she didn’t know who this random drunk girl was either!!! ‘Tori’ than told us that she was our neighbors’ daughter and got locked out. So basically we kicked her out and her parents eventually let her in lol. Moral of the story is make sure you lock your doors and also don’t be so drunk that you are walking into someone else’s house !!! She was lucky that we weren’t bad people and we were lucky she wasn’t either!
If you could be a cartoon character, what will you be?
I would probably be Sailor Mars – she’s so feisty. Or Kagame from Inuyasha. I love anime and my goal is to look like an anime lol.
How will you describe an ideal date?
I’m not too particular. I care more about vibes than how much a guy is willing to spend on a date. I love it when someone is willing to take part in your interests and is willing to try new things.
It is a pleasure to feature you, Lidia. One question before we end, how do you define “sexy”?
Sexy to me is all about self embodying self confidence! Focus on being the best version of you 🙂
Hi Sophia it is a pleasure to feature you on SimplySxy. Please share with our readers a little about yourself and where you’re from?
Well I’m from Riverside (the 951! lol), pretty much raised out there and live in LA now. I’m a Cancer, I love to cook, I like hip hop, R&B and Justin Bieber, and I’m addicted to french fries. I’ve been a commercial print model for about 10 years and if you’re not familiar with that, that means I shoot mainly for lifestyle and fitness brands, so everyday brands like Target, Intel, AT&T, Pantene, Western Union, Capital One, pharmaceuticals, etc.

How did you get started into modeling and what do you love about it?
Refer to the “if you could choose to learn anything…” question 🙂
What is the most challenging assignment or event you have done so far?
I’ve done a lot of fitness campaigns, but I’d have to say the Reebok Crossfit campaign, for sure! It was a 3-day shoot and the first two days were four hours straight each day of just cross fit, cross fit, cross fit. And it wasn’t like do the move, make it look good, spray the fake sweat, do it again, pose. It was like minutes into each workout, we were dying, sweating, grunting. The creative director was like, “We wanna see the sweat! We need to capture the pain, push through! If you feel like you’re going to cry, it’s ok.”
I did have experience in cross fit, but I had never been pushed that hard before, it was ridiculously hard, so props to the die-hard cross fitters lol! On the morning of the third day, I physically couldn’t lift myself off the bed. It was my first and only time in 10 years having to call my agent and telling them I couldn’t make it to the last shoot day. I wonder if any of the other models called in also lol. Lesson learned now, always be prepared. I’m never going to die on a shoot again!

What is your favorite job you’ve ever done?
I have so many memorable ones…my favorite would have to be being the Grammy Trophy Model in 2012. LL Cool J was hosting that year, we were at rehearsals running through our presentations and there was this moment when I felt so cool lol. He came backstage, where all the stars were waiting, looks around, we made eye contact, and he goes, “SOPHIA!!!” and gave me a huge hug. It was amazing! We randomly saw each other 2 years later while shooting CSI: LA and the moment he saw me, he did the same thing, “SOPHIA!!!” haha.
If you could choose to learn anything in this world, what will it be?
Oh my God, I want to learn everything! Anything that piques my interest, I’ll do research on it and just immerse myself. It could be anything from disorders to nutrition to investing to even aliens haha! I’ll read books, attend seminars, listen to podcasts…I actually get semi-obsessed at times lol, that’s how I got into modeling, I was obsessed about learning everything I could about it. I wanted to understand the industry fully, learn about the segments, all the players in the game, where I fit in, where I shouldn’t bother. I mean, I took notes and had outlines and a game plan. I studied the models that were leading the industry and modeled my game plan after theirs, I was naive enough to think that there was no reason I couldn’t get signed by the top agencies in the industry.
So while everyone else is working their way from the bottom up, I shot for the top, and of course they rejected me, but I worked my way through the list from the top down and ended up with the amazing agencies I have now. There was even this one agency that I really wanted to sign with (I’m not with them anymore, but I won’t say who), they rejected me on paper, and I thought “Oh no you don’t you’re gonna sign me!” So I printed up some different photos, made an appointment, made no mention of my previous paper submission, won them over with my personality, and they ended up signing me on the spot lol! 🙂 So do your research, it pays off.

What is your workout regime like?
I focus on eating healthy to stay in shape. I totally believe the 80% rule: it’s 80% nutrition, 20% workout. So I cook most of my meals and eat pretty clean. Normally I’ll workout 10-30 minutes a day, 4-5 times a week. I focus on two muscle groups at a time doing calisthenics and then every once in a while, I’ll look for an intense pilates class to take. If you’re in LA, the Lagree Supraformer class will kick your ass!

How would you describe an ideal date?
He picks me up, surprises me with flowers, and it really doesn’t matter where we go, but I love to be surprised, so taking me somewhere I’ve been wanting to go, but barely mentioned. It’s like, “Oh my gosh, you remembered!” But I think what makes a date great is the conversation! When you’re fully engaged and they open up to you and you’re learning about them…that’d be the perfect date. Oh and there has to be good food, for sure.
Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions Sophia. One question before we end, how do you define “sexy”?
Sexy is someone who’s confident, never cocky, has a strong sense of self. Healthy, meaning they eat healthy and workout. Intelligence is definitely sexy, not just putting it all out there, but also knowing when to refrain and observe. Sexy is someone who is driven and has worked hard for their success, and uplifts the people around him. Sexy is someone who takes responsibility for their life and doesn’t just wait for things to happen or react to things around him. Someone with a big heart and is never afraid to show it.
Hi Honey thank you for taking the time to answer our questions on SimplySxy. Please share with our readers a little about yourself and where you’re from?
I was born and raised in St. Paul, Minnesota, but as I grew older I moved around quite a bit until finally settling down in Minneapolis, Minnesota. I’m a mommy to a 1 year old boy who is just full of energy. I work full-time and also am a part-time student. I currently attend two colleges; North Hennepin Community College finishing off my Associate’s degree in Business Administration and Metropolitan State University for my Bachelor’s in Human Resources Management. Stating the obvious, I am a very occupied and busy person, but still manage to find time for my family and myself.
Which is the best compliment you have received?
“You’re one tough cookie.” Essentially meaning that I’m such a busy person that I seem to be able to handle it all quite well. (not all the time though; it can get stressful)
What is a typical day for yourself like?
Alarm goes off at 5:20 AM, at work by 6:30 AM, off by 2:30 PM and home to care for my son, spend time with my family, do homework then sleep. Weekends, I do some homework, run errands, and spend time with my family. I’ll maybe couple of two drinks on the weekend evenings. My average Joe life.
One perk you love about modeling?
Modeling has never been a “career” or something I seek highly to pursue. So one perk about modeling that I love is I can do it at my own time because realistically it’s just a hobby not a priority.
Do you have any hobbies?
Besides modeling, I invest in stocks. I don’t speak of it often or publicly because I don’t do it often only when I have time and when I want to make a little extra cash.
If you could learn any skill, what will it be?
I would love to learn new investing skills. I would love to invest in properties, bigger stocks and many more in the near future.
What is one thing a guy should never do one a date with a lady?
Be glued to his phone most of the time. It’s already annoying enough that everyone is glued to their phone now a day. One on one quality time is coming to extinction, but a gentle and give your full on attention to her.
Which is the lamest pickup line or attempt a guy has used on you?
Gosh it’s been awhile since I’ve even encountered a guy hitting on me with pick-up lines. Nowadays they just go straight to… “Can we be friends?” “Do you have a man?” “Can I get your number?”
It’s a pleasure to feature you Honey. One question before we end, how do you define “sexy”?
Anyone can have a pretty face, nice curves, beautiful features that are out of this world but those are just the appearances of sexy. Sexy is not always about sex appeal. Sexy to me means holding your own grounds as a woman and withholding stability, independence and goals. Sexy is a woman‘s accomplishments and achievements. Now that defines sexy!

Hi April it is a pleasure to feature you on SimplySxy. Please share with our readers a little about yourself and where you’re from?
Hi there, hmm where do I start? Well to start off, I’m a Hispanic cosplayer living in the Los Angeles County, and I’m actually a college student going for a registered veterinarian technician license.
How long have you been cosplaying and what do you love about it?
I have always been interested in cosplaying for a while but it wasn’t until Anime Los Angeles 2016 that I attended a convention while cosplaying. I’ve been to cons before without cosplaying.
If you could choose a character to come to life, who will it be?
It would be Tony Tony Chopper from One Piece because he is just so adorable and who wouldn’t want a cute talking reindeer.
What is a typical day like for you?
On a typical day for me it’ll either consist of working and working on a few cosplays or working, school and working on cosplays or working and playing some games either on my Playstation 4 or my Nintendo 3DS. It really all depends on the day really.
Do you have any phobias?
I don’t know if would call it a phobia or not but I’m very uncomfortable with snakes and reptiles, even though I know at one point in the field I’m going in I’ll eventually have to deal with them.
If you could personally witness anything, what would you want to have seen?
To be honest I’m not completely sure.
Have you had a weird modeling or cosplay experience at an event before?
Yes actually it was at Anime Expo 2016 a photographer asked to take some photos and I said yes and then later on he was trying to get touchy in a way and try to ask me out on a date.
What turns you off on a date?
What turns me off on a date is when the other person shows or says that my interest are weird or silly.
Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions April. One question before we end, how do you define “sexy”?
Having confidence in oneself and keeping that confidence no matter what anyone says.
Hi Alice, thank you for taking the time to answer our questions. Please share with our readers a little about yourself and where you’re from?
I am a 25-year-old Bartender currently living in St. Petersburg Florida. I am originally from Plant City Florida which is a very small town in between Orlando and Tampa. I moved to St. Pete about 7 years ago, when I was younger I dreamed of living near the beach so when I turned 18, I packed up and made my dream come true. I am a firm believer in the quote “If you believe it you can achieve it. If you can dream it, you can become it.”
What do you enjoy most about modeling?
I love that you can capture a feeling in a photo, I try to put as much of myself into every shot. I also love being able to try new things, which has kept my portfolio very diverse. Within it you will find different shots ranging from artistic implied nude, cute clothing promos, grungy alternative and sexy boudoir.
Is there a favorite quote or motto you live by?
“Be bold enough to use your voice, brave enough to listen to your heart, and strong enough to live the life you’ve always imagined.”
How much of a party animal are you?
I have tried to keep my partying at a minimum in the last year or so, I used to always be out tearing the town up, a few years ago I was an active member in the EDM (Electronic Dance Music) scene as well as a go-go dancer at clubs all over Ybor City. Promoting and attending all types of music festivals and concerts in the Tampa Bay area as well as Miami! So, you can say I have done my fair share of partying! I do still enjoy all types of music festivals and try to at least attend 2-3 a year.
Which is the sexiest item in your wardrobe?
I recently purchased my first “long” dress, which was insanely hard to find because I top out at 5’4” so most long dresses I end up tripping all over and let me tell you there’s nothing sexy about that! This dress is unlike any others its black and right after the knee it flows down in a see-through pattern of flowers, leaves a bit of a mystery to the eyes. To me it’s not all about showing off as much skin as possible to be “Sexy” it’s about having respect and confidence in yourself and what you are wearing that makes clothing appealing.
What kind of music are you into?
When it comes to music I would have to say I’m a bit of a music junkie. I pretty much love all types. One of my favorite bands is Led Zeppelin and I happen to have the chorus from one of my favorite songs of theirs tattooed on my ribs (The Battle of Evermore).
If you had the opportunity to meet anyone past or present, who will it be?
I would have to Edgar Allen Poe. His work was mysterious and intriguing and of course genius. I have to admit one of my favorite things is the dark arts.
What’s the funniest or lamest attempt a guy has tried to know you?
Once while I was working at my bar, a guy grabbed my hand flipped it over and acted as if he was reading my palm, then stared straight into my eyes and said “I just had to make sure you were real”.
It is a pleasure to feature you, Alice. One question before we end, how do you define “sexy”?
Confidence. I believe the more confidence you have the sexier you become, holding your head high and believing in yourself is the sexiest thing a woman can do!
