    English Model Harley Sparks

    Hi Harley, thank you for taking the time to answer our questions.  Please share with our readers a little about yourself and where you’re from?

    Hey, thank you for having me! My name is Harley Sparks and I’m a model from Greenwich, London.

    Which is your most memorable modeling experience or shoot so far?

    Oooh, I remember and love all my shoots for different reasons. The most fun I had on a shoot involved paint dripped all over me, that was pretty cool. I’ve shot with a pug and had cameos from two bengal cats and just met some really awesome people along the way.

    What’s your favorite personality trait you like about yourself?

    I’m very adventurous. My dream is to travel the world; I love exploring new places and experiencing different environments and cultures. I want to try and shoot abroad this year, that’s my aim.

    Where do you usually party?

    I don’t like to go out and party. I’d rather chill at home and have a good time listening the music I choose with my closest friends. I don’t see the point in hobbling out in heels in the cold to waste money and come across drunk weirdos then be disappointed that the Chinese shut two hours ago.

    Which fictional character do you wish was real?

    The Fairy Godmother from Cinderella. I’ve got a few wishes I’d like granted and I want perfect fitting glass slippers, I wouldn’t find any to fit my feet if my life depended on it. One of my favourite films too.

    Do you sing in the shower?

    Of course, I love singing! I have a shower speaker too #winning

    What item at home can you use as a weapon if there is a zombie apocalypse?

    I’ve got lots of alcohol leftover from Christmas, I’d douse the hallways in that, set fire to it with my super cool AK47 lighter and deodorant can like a flamethrower, backwards roly poly smash through the window then run off feeling like Lara Croft.

    Worst date experience ever?

    I’ve been on one date in my life before I met my boyfriend. It was just a typical orange Wednesdays cinema date with a popcorn combo meal and coke to share as we were like 15. I was with him for a month at most so speaks for itself!

    It is a pleasure to feature you, Harley. One question before we end, how do you define “sexy”?

    I think it starts with loving yourself enough to want to dress up and make an effort then having that confidence to know you look great and show off what you are proud of. Be classy and sophisticated. And finally being humble enough to inspire others to make the first step of loving themselves too.

    Californian Model & Microbiologist Danielle Deschene

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

    Hey there! Thanks so much for having me!

    I’m 24, born in the South Bay Area of California and currently live in Santa Cruz, California. I’m a freelance model and also work in a lab as a microbiologist.

    Which is your most memorable modeling shoot so far?

    This one is hard! I guess I’d have to pick my shoots in Hawaii for the beautiful locations and warm water.

    How is a typical day like for you?

    I currently work full time in at SC Labs, so a typical day there includes weighing out samples, prepping them for various tests and then heading home to be with my boyfriend and his dog. Throughout the day I try to check my emails for potential photo opportunities and stay on top of posting to various social media.

    Production Team @iARAbikini

    Do you have any hobbies?

    My hobbies include anything outdoors. I love camping, hiking, jumping off cliffs into bodies of water with unknown depths. I also enjoy cooking because nothing is more rewarding than a delicious creation. Last but not least, I really enjoy photography and modeling. I’ve been fidgeting with cameras since I was 6, film and digital.

    Is there a superstition you believe in?

    Haha no not really.. I have a strongly science-based background so with every “fact” presented to me, I’m pretty skeptical until I also hear reasons and info sources… but then again, I like to think nearly anything is possible.

    ​Photgrapher IG @helladapper

    Can you tell us a story behind one of your tattoos?

    My most important tattoo is the one on my forearm of my dog’s paws. He passed away a couple years ago but he really meant a lot to me.

    How long do you think you’ll survive in a zombie apocalypse?

    I’d like to think I could survive at least a couple months in a zombie apocalypse! I’ve watched a bunch of zombie movies and know the rules of Zombieland, so hopefully I’ll be okay.

    If you were to describe yourself as a flavor, what will it be?

    I guess I would be tangy haha. Not necessarily for everyone, but unique and fun.

    Photographer IG @jonthephotographer

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

    I would define “sexy” as confident and humble. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so no matter what anyone thinks, you have to be your own number one fan. Thanks again for having me!

  • What Turns Model Bekkah Off On A Date?

    What Turns Model Bekkah Off On A Date?

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

    Hello everyone! I am from Sonoma County located in the beautiful northern California wine country. I enjoy getting lost in nature whether it be wandering through the giant redwood trees, kayaking down the Russian River, or exploring tide pools along the coast in Bodega Bay.

    I love farm animals! I grew up in the local 4-H club raising Holland Lop rabbits and competed in horseback riding. I’m a bit of a country girl you could say…

    How long have you been modeling and what do you love about it?

    I have been modeling for about 3 years, it is an outlet for creative expression and can be very therapeutic.

    What is a typical day like for you?

    I like to wake up early and start my day with 20 minute work out, grab some coffee and answer e-mails. If I am not working on a shoot that day I am networking with other creative artists and collaborating on projects.

    How do you relax or unwind after a long day?

    I like to relax in a hot bubble bath with a glass of wine.

    If you could personally witness anything, what would you want to have seen?

    An extraterrestrial being!

    What turns you off on a date? 

    When guys go on and on about themselves, act braggadocios and tell stories. I also cannot stand when someone is rude to the waiter or complains about petty things and causes a scene.

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

    It has been said many times, but I truly believe it is a persons’ confidence and charisma which makes one sexy above and beyond the physical attributes.

  • Louisiana Cosplayer Reagan Kathryn

    Louisiana Cosplayer Reagan Kathryn

    Hi Reagan 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?

    HELLO <3. My name is Reagan Kathryn and I am a 22-year-old Cosplayer from Louisiana living in Southern California! I started cosplaying in February of 2016 (I’M ALMOST AT A YEAR NOW!) and I have never looked back! I really love dinosaurs and chickens… I blame harvest moon for the chicken obsession. And I am also really bad at introducing myself. You will realize this if you ever meet me in person. I’m terribly awkward.

    How did your interest in Cosplay begin?

    I was never really allowed to participate in things like Halloween when I was growing up… So I think cosplay is like a delayed reaction. Also when I moved to California at the start of 2016, the only person I knew was a cosplayer. Cosplaying was how I started to make friends, express myself, and really give me a self confidence and worth I never had before.

    Which characters have you enjoyed cosplaying most?

    Mercy and Rapunzel!! Rapunzel is super fun and Mercy just makes me feel super sexy and good about myself! My Mercy boudoir is probably one of my favorite things I’ve done!

    Has there been an embarrassing episode you witnessed at a cosplay event?

    I am basically the most embarrassing. I fall constantly, get way to excited to meet people and whenever someone compliments me I immediately go into a weird dinosaur pose. I can’t help it…

    If you could have a super power, what will you choose to have?

    Teleportation. I think about this a lot actually… Like I could teleport to so many different convention and meet so many cool people! Also I could have breakfast in my house, then lunch in Hong Kong and dinner in Rome… That would be really awesome!

    What do you like to do in your free time besides cosplay?

    There is such a thing as free time?!?!? WHY DID NO ONE TELL ME I COULD HAVE THAT??

    Are you a morning person or night owl? 

    I am most certainly a morning person (as long as morning counts as “I have had at least one cup of coffee already”) The second it gets dark outside I am ready to be in my bed. But if the sky is awake, I am awake (queue Anna gif here)

    How much of a party animal are you?

    I am in bed by like… 8pm. I am such a granny! The only time I am ever up late is to finish a cosplay!

    It’s a pleasure to feature you Reagan. One question before we end, how do you define “sexy”? 

    This has been a hard term for me. I lived about 21 years of my life being ashamed of feeling or being sexy. I thought that it was something that was bad. But since joining the cosplay community I have learned so much and grown so much. I think Sexy is someone who is un-apologetically themselves. If you like to only wear your bra and undies, I LOVE IT (I love to only wear these things). If you feel super sexy in big t-shirts or pretty dresses, that’s wonderful. I think confidence and being in love with who you are is about as Sexy as someone can get.

  • Model Grace Lee Hyaeyoun

    Model Grace Lee Hyaeyoun

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

    Hello everyone! I’m Grace and I was actually born in S. Korea, but raised in North Carolina since 5. I’m all about exploring and seeing what this life has to offer! Modeling is a hobby, but business is my life.

    How did you get started into modeling?

    I actually had some photographers email me that they would be interested in shooting with me, due to my Instagram and it being on public, and one thing led to another!

    Where do you get your motivation to exercise from?

    I grew up exercising with my family and actually fell in love with powerlifting around 2014 and it has been one of my passion since. It’s all about you and your mentality; a time to get to know yourself.

    What is the best compliment you have received?

    “You have a big heart”

    What is the craziest thing you have ever done so far?

    The craziest moment was when I had first gotten my Miata, and I was still getting use to the feel of the car. I had forgotten that the back wheels had balded pretty bad, and on a rainy day, accidently spun 360 in the middle of the street! First time I ever drifted, and oh boy was I scared. Was still fun though!

    Most memorable vacation to date?

    Probably Hawaii with the family when I was younger. It’s a beautiful island with such gorgeous colors! Truly a nature’s work.

    What song would you say best describes you?

    Promiscuous Girl. If you just listen to the song, you will get it.

    What do you find attractive in the opposite sex?

    Usually, I like to notice both their physical appearance as well as their mind set. I do love a guy who has chest, arms, and a butt, but if they don’t have a good mentality, I see it as a turn off. (sorry!)

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

    Sexy is what you make of it. It cannot be molded into a specific form. For me though, sexy would mean confidence. If you’re confidence shines through, others will view it in a positive way. Although there are some people who take it up to gloating which is a big no no!

  • Model Ricole Seah From Melbourne

    Model Ricole Seah From Melbourne

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

    Hello, nice to meet you too.  I am a student majoring in Psychology and Journalism at Monash University. I am also part of the Monash Cheerleading Club. I am currently working as a part-time model and I am managed by my agency, FRM Model Management. I was born in Singapore, but moved to Australia, Melbourne when I was younger.

    How did you get started into modeling?

    When i was younger, I always dreamed of being a model as they are very beautiful and I feel that they are a role model for others. Furthermore, I did some modelling when I was a child in Singapore, so I went to the model castings when I moved to Melbourne and I got in!

    What is the most challenging assignment or event you have done so far?

    Standing at 5’7, i am considered short in the western modelling industry. Once, I had a photoshoot with other models of different ethnicity, and they were standing at 5’10 and above. I was so short compared to them that I had to tiptoe on my heels and they had to bend down a little for me. Not only did I feel at a disadvantage, I felt that it was a biggest challenge that I could not change in the modelling world.

    Do you have a preferred side when taking selfies?

    Not really, I like to take selfies in all angles to show all sides of my face.

    What is the best compliment you have received?

    Some people said I have a very pointy nose, and a pair of smiling eyes.

    If you could choose to learn anything in this world, what will it be?

    As a foodie, I will choose to learn cooking so that I could make delicious food not only for myself but for my family and friends.

    What is the lamest pickup line or attempt a guy has tried to know you?

    There were too many experiences I couldn’t really remember all haha.

    How will you describe an ideal date?

    An ideal date is when I could share a lot of common interests and also connect with the person.

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

    Sexy means confidence. You can only be sexy when you are confident.

  • Model & Entrepreneur Amanda Strachan

    Model & Entrepreneur Amanda Strachan

    Hi Amanda it is a pleasure to feature you on SimplySxy.  How long have you been modeling and what do you love about it?

    It’s hard to believe it’s been so long but I’ve been modeling for about 15 years now. I love that modeling enables me to express my artistic and creative side, but what I love most about it is that it’s allowed me to travel the world and meet some of the most amazing and interesting people. Travelling over the years has changed my life in so many ways; it’s opened up many opportunities and allowed  me to grow and learn so much.

    What is a typical day like for you?

    I can’t say I ever really have an overall pattern in my days. With all the things going on in my life I feel like I’m always doing something different, but I always like to start off with a nice cup of tea, and fit a workout in there when I can!

    How do you relax or unwind after a long day?

    After a long day I always want to treat myself so I’ll usually light candles in the bathroom and have some essential oils diffusing while I take a nice hot bath and sort of let my mind go into a meditative state. If I’m not in the mood for a bath I’ll just put on some comfy clothes, watch Netflix and chillll.

    Do you have any phobias?

    I can’t say that I do have any serious phobias anymore. I used to be terrified of horses after a near death experience I had with my horse when I was younger. A couple of years ago I overcame that fear during a photo shoot I did at a photographer’s farm. It was a beautiful moment that I’ll never forget.

    If you could personally witness anything, what would you want to have seen?

    I would have loved to live in the 60s and experience Woodstock.

    Have you experienced a funny or embarrassing moment before?

    I have had my fair share of funny and embarrassing moments. One that stands out is when I was in primary school and I hated my eyebrows, so the night before picture day I shaved them off. The next day the boy I had a crush on came up to me and asked me “Hey Amanda, did you shave your eyebrows off?”.  I was a terrible liar and just shook my head and say “No!” It was pretty obvious I did though. Lucky for me, since it was picture day, I still have the photos, and I’m sure everyone else still does too…including my school girl crush.

    What turns you off on a date?

    There are a number of things that could turn me off on a date. Besides bad personal hygiene and terrible manners, I absolutely cannot stand small talk. If a guy shows me he’s capable of having honest, interesting and intelligent conversations, AND he’s able to make me laugh in the midst of it all, then there’s a good chance there will be a second date.

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

    Thank you! To me “sexy” is being confident in who you are and expressing that without fear of judgement, and not judging others or thinking there is some form of hierarchy and one person is better than the next. You are your own work of art walking your own path, and you should express that fully, and never be afraid of expressing your nerdy side 😉

  • DJ & Miss Earth Singapore Nicole Chen

    DJ & Miss Earth Singapore Nicole Chen

    Hi DJ Nicole Chen, it’s a great pleasure to feature you on SimplySxy.  Can you tell us a bit about yourself and where you are from?

    I’m from Singapore, I’m just a happy and fun person.

    What was your inspiration behind being a DJ and what do you love about it?

    It was actually, I felt that I could always choose the right kind of songs and make people happy, in turn I’ll be happy. DJ is more about the music and making people gain pleasure and movement through different kinds of music.

    Which has been your most memorable gig or event so far?

    It was Ultra Japan 2014 it was the most memorable, everybody was dancing and going crazy.

    If you had the chance to collaborate with anyone past or present, who will it be?

    I would love to collaborate with Quintino though, I love his style of music.

    Do you see the clubbing scene changing much in the next few years to come?

    Yes it has, people are more towards the tables and all, dancing around the tables more than dance floor unless it’s a festival.

    You have done very well as a model and being crowned Miss Earth Singapore before becoming a DJ. Are the pressures of being a model different than being a DJ?

    Modeling was tougher than DJ, DJ-ing was more of a passion, modeling had to deal with the bitchiness of people.

    What do you enjoy doing in your free time?

    I love to go to spas and have nice fine dining Japanese food.

    It is a pleasure to feature you on SimplySxy! Before we end, what does sexy mean to you?

    Sexy means being confident.

  • Singapore Cosplayer Rinsa Ting

    Singapore Cosplayer Rinsa Ting

    Hi Rinsa 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?

    Hello, I’m a 17 year old Singapore cosplayer as well as a design student. I mostly cosplay girl characters as I enjoy making cute and frilly costumes.

    My favourite character of all time is Nozomi Toujou from Lovelive! School Idol project and I personally like the colour pink a lot.

    What do you love most about cosplay?

    Cosplaying gives me a chance to show my love for the characters I love, from making the costumes to researching on makeup styles that will suit the character and also wearing the costume and presenting it to everyone at conventions. It makes me really happy to meet people with similar interest and making new friends from there.

    Which characters have you enjoyed cosplaying most?

    Well I would of course love to cosplay my favourite character which is Nozomi Toujou! Although I feel that I am definitely really different from the character, from facial features to body shape, I still try my best to look like the character I like by using makeup to look more like her and also with things like corsets and pushup bras etc to get a body figure that is closer to the character.

    How much effort and time does it take for you to prepare for a character typically?

    I take around a month to 3 on average to complete the costume, making it from scratch.

    If you could have a super power, what will you choose to have?

    I would love to have the super power to read minds as many times it is really hard to know what a person really feels about you. For example, if I had the power to read people’s minds, I would know if the person actually feels that I am irritating etc and I would be able to distant myself or change my attitude towards him/her instead of continuing with what I have been doing which will not help at all. This often happens to me and because I am pretty slow I don’t actually notice it and when I do, it is often too late.

    Do you have any other hobbies?

    I like to sing and dance although I am not very good at it, I still try my best at it because it is what I enjoy doing. I also like drawing manga characters and I often draw on my textbooks or at the back of my worksheets when I’m bored in class hahaha

    What do you find most attractive in the opposite sex? 

    I like tall guys as I feel more safe if I know the guy has a built that is big enough to protect me when I’m in trouble.

    Lamest attempt a guy has tried to get to know you before?

    I don’t get picked up often hahaha.

    It’s a pleasure to feature you Rinsa. One question before we end, how do you define “sexy”? 

    In my opinion a strong cat liner and long slim legs is really sexy, sadly I am a petite girl that isn’t very blessed like other girls hahaha.

  • Actress Marine Madesclaire Shares Her Worst Date Experience

    Actress Marine Madesclaire Shares Her Worst Date Experience

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

    Hi, thanks for having me! I was born in France, and moved to Seattle when I was two years old. I moved to LA a little over a year ago to pursue my acting career.

    Photo: Dropout Photography

    How did you get started into acting?

    I was in elementary school, I think in second or third grade, and did a violin duet for the school talent show. According to my step father in four steps I went from shaking with fear to cool, calm, collected, and having the time of my life. I may have quit violin but the love affair with the stage has continued.

    What has been your most memorable experience to date?

    After I graduated college I did four months with a touring company in North Carolina, we did a musical for elementary schools all across the state. Most of these children we performed for had never seen live theatre before, which was such a delight.. It was amazing.

    Photo: Rebecca Peloquin

    What do you say is the most challenging aspect when it comes to acting?

    Honestly it’s not the craft, or the constant rejection I find most challenging. As an actor you’re the only one responsible for your career. You have to hold the fire to your own ass, and that’s a hard thing to sustain over a long period of time.

    Do you have any phobias?

    I wouldn’t say a full blown phobia, but I’m very scared of flying. I’m always convinced we’re about to go down. Also, spiders. I really dislike spiders.

    Photo: Rebecca Peloquin

    How do you usually spend your weekends?

    Sundays are Seahawks days during the season, gotta go watch the boys play. There’s always some gym time and then cuddles with my cats as well. Other than that, I’ve got books to catch up on, I’ve been meaning to play through Mass Effect (on PC) or I hang out with friends.

    Is there anything you wish would come back into fashion?

    Nothing I’d like to bring back, but I’m loving the current trend towards letting people express themselves in their own fashion. Cover Girl made a huge step by announcing James Charles as their first Cover Boy and I’d love to see more brands follow their lead.

    What’s been your worst date ever?

    I met a guy from Tinder, yes I know fatal first step, who was thirty minutes late and then proceeded to talk only about himself. He was starving but hated to eat in front of girls, so he kept talking about how he never ate in front of dates. Eventually he told me about his phobia of vomiting, and finished off with a diatribe about how deep conversations with dates was a terrible idea. His rational was, if he revealed too much about himself girls always found one tiny thing they didn’t like and then wouldn’t sleep with him. Needless to say there was no kiss, and I did not contact him again.

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

    Consent. I’ll say this till the day I die: Consent is the sexiest thing in the world.
