Ziyi Kuek is an all rounder babe with beauty, brains and athletic ability

Smart, athletic and beautiful. Just a few words to describe Ziyi who performs well in everything she sets her heart and mind to, while the accomplishments keep stacking up. Those familiar with her will have seen Ziyi on pageants such as Miss Universe Singapore, modelling for FHM or at skating competitions. We catch up with this all rounder babe to find out more about her!

SimplySxy: Hi Ziyi, it is a great pleasure to feature you on SimplySxy. Tell us a little about yourself and where you’re from?

Ziyi: Hello SimplySxy, thank you for featuring me. Well, I guess the first thing people usually know about me is that I am quite a passionate skater, next followed by me being a model and a pageant queen from Singapore. Haha so other than what most people know, I also do performance driving, ride a bike and spent my pasttime studying Korean language. I am currently a FILA sponsored athlete and work as a project coordinator, designer, model, and skate instructor. I also write at https://skat3rgalz.wordpress.com/

SimplySxy: Being a very accomplished inline skater yourself, winning numerous awards from local and international competitions, how did your love for skating begin?

Ziyi: At the age of 11, I somehow started Inline skating when my dad found a pair of skate in the store of our home. Since then, I have always felt my heart race whenever I caught my eyes on the SKATE. It just seems to cast some magic on me, that get me so excited, even just thinking about it.

At the time when I did not think I will be able to find anything more to do with my inlineskate, I discovered FREESTYLE skating. I learned about it after joining Singapore Polytechnic’s skate club.

I was then 16. After that, everything else is history.

I started going competitive, in Speed Slalom and Slide, entering my 1st competition National Rookie Competition 2007, bringing back my 1st gold win. Then sponsored by Seba Skates, I represented Team Singapore and it brought me around the World.

SimplySxy: Is that how you are able to achieve that amazing figure of yours or do you have other tips to share?

Ziyi: Haha yes of course skating helps, it is one of the few cardiovascular sports around that work out your whole body, ranked among the best aerobic exercises according to the American Heart Association. However, I also switch around some other sports like gym and yoga to give my body a variety of exercise, or else it will get too comfortable to just skating!

SimplySxy: You’ve participated and done very well in various modeling and beauty contests such as Miss Singapore Universe and Miss Singapore World. What is the highlight of your modeling experience so far?

Ziyi: Gracing 20 magazines in a year, being one of Triumph’s models on the TV, doing a fashion show in Beijing, waving to the crowd during the Chingay parade as Miss Singapore together with the rest of the international contestants. My favorite highlight is still those international pageants; it changes my perspective of the world, the bonds forged between the girls and countries is an unforgettable one.

SimplySxy: Tell us how it was like to be a FHM model and ranked as one of FHM’s 100 Sexiest Women in the world?

Ziyi: It is one of the experiences of a lifetime. The enjoyment of gracing the cover, media coverage and appearance of TV shows! It doesn’t change my life around much, but it was definitely one of those memories that I look back upon and smile, and I still have my magazines to show!

SimplySxy: How common do catfights happen in the industry?

Ziyi: On the contrary of what many think it is like, we don’t really have cat fights in our industry. Most of us are very easy on our compliments and affections. It may appear fake, but if we really don’t like anyone, we are as easy on our remarks and feedbacks too.

SimplySxy: We’re sure you’ve attracted a legion of male fans who support you at your events and competitions. Have you had any creepy fan requests or stalkers?

Ziyi: Oh yes, sometimes it gets really bad. I have had them not only sending me weird messages and offering to pay me out, but I have had my photos edited naked and posted online and also spammed with more than 35 calls in a day. Of course there are nice experiences too, where they would make cards for me on my birthdays, offer to meet me up for coffee if ever I was down, drop by to almost every one of my events just to make sure I have got nice photos! Even sending my family hampers for Chinese New Year!

SimplySxy: Which is your favourite body part?

Ziyi: If you are talking about just body parts, it is probably my legs. Though it is all scar-ridden and all, I think of that as my battle trophies, the mark of my adventures.

SimplySxy: Thank you for the interview opportunity Ziyi and before we conclude the interview, can you tell us how you define “sexy”?

Ziyi: I believe Sexy is believing in yourself, and being comfortable about who you are.

Nicola Wong shines like a star

No stranger to pageants and modelling events, Singaporean model Nicola Wong has competed in Miss Bikini Asia and Miss ASEAN 2015 to great success. With her great determination and will to succeed, we’re sure Nicola will be a familiar name pretty soon. Learn more about her in this quick interview and enjoy the pictures of the lovely Nicola.

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

Nicola: Hello there. I’m from Singapore. I turn 22 this coming August. I’ve only started doing pageant and competitions since 20xx.

SimplySxy: You have been modelling in many events and done very well in competitions such as Miss Bikini Asia. What has been the highlight of your modelling career so far?

Nicola: To me, it’s never about the title achieved but the people I’ve met on my road on the pageant. I pick up experiences, learnt the good together with the bad. Most importantly, it constantly reminds me to be thankful and blessed for the exposure.

SimplySxy: Do you have any beauty regime tips to looking so fabulous?

Nicola: Moisturise. Every single day. Don’t get lazy. Remove your makeup before you go to bed every single night no matter how tired you are. I do not have a tedious routine. Cleanse, toner, day cream/night cream. I try to put on a facial mask once a week at least too.

SimplySxy: Can you tell us 3 fun facts about yourself?

Nicola: Despite the wild party look that only most of you get to see on my Instagram/ Twitter, I actually love reading a lot. On particular Friday nights I’ll ditch the tequila shots and stay home with a good book instead.

I’m a firm believer in horoscopes because my horoscope, Leo, depicts exactly which kind of person I am. Cliché I know.

Lastly, I do not have everything spoon fed to me from young. My parents believed in ” When the going gets tough, the tough gets going”, and strict discipline, so I’ve always had to worked for what I wanted.

SimplySxy: How will you describe your fashion style

Nicola: Simplicity. Dress simple and you’ll never go wrong. You don’t have to own a lot of clothes, you just have to mix and match to make the best use of them.

SimplySxy: Which items in your wardrobe can you simply not live without?

Nicola: I’m a big fan of watches, all kinds of them. Won’t go anywhere without them.

SimplySxy: Which is your favourite body part?

Nicola: My eyes I guess. That goes the same to every person I’ll ever meet, I usually take a closer look in their eyes before anything else. I strongly believe when they say “The eyes are the window to the soul “. You can tell a lot just by looking into people’s eyes.

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

Nicola: Confidence is sexy. It is not about how much the scale tells you or which size you wear. If you love yourself you are already there.

Indonesian stylist and entrepreneur Michelle Koesnadi

As a fashion inspiration and photography lover, Michelle Koesnadi has build up her blog Glisters and Blisters with a massive following of fans who are interested to find out fashion and styling tips from this lovely entrepreneur. We catch up with Michelle in this quick interview and ask the ELLE Style Awards 2011 Blogger of the Year winner a few questions.

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

Michelle: I am from Indonesia. I am a stylist / entrepreneur and I owe my current jobs from blogging in the first place!

SimplySxy:  You’re a mother and have a second child on the way! How do you manage to juggle everything to seem so effortlessly and also look so great?

Michelle: Honestly, I don’t think that I always look great! My Instagram is just a fraction of my life, so I guess people can’t always see the ugly lazy side of me haha… I am not trying to portray the super mom image or anything, I am just being as real as possible.

SimplySxy: Other than your fashion posts, one of the best things about your Instagram are the pictures of food! Do you have any particular favourites to recommend the next time we are in Jakarta?

Michelle: Ah lots! Jakarta is a big and diverse city so there are a lot of great food wherever you go. I think that Nasi Campur Atek (the first outlet in Duta Mas area is the best, but their other outlets around Jakarta will do) is truly magnificent. At night, “martabak” is a favorite hot ‘dessert’ for us Indonesians. We now have modern red velvet or nutella martabaks, but I’m a classic cheese martabak lover. My favorite is from Sinar Bulan (stall opens 6pm above along the Muara Karang river area). PS. None of these 2 places above are posh & chic spots, they simply serve great food! Feel free to wear shorts and flip flops…

If you’re looking for a nicer place to eat Indonesian food, I would recommend Tesate Restaurant. Superb meat skewers and lamb fried rice!

SimplySxy: What are some must have items in every girl’s wardrobe?

Michelle: A little black dress, a pair tall of black pumps… And a white shirt..

SimplySxy: Which is one city you will love to visit to add to your photography collection but have yet to do so?

Michelle: Would love to go to Turkey and Iceland!

SimplySxy:  Can you share with us 3 fun facts about yourself which your fans probably do not know?

Michelle: Despite being a blogger, I am actually still camera shy (that explains why I crop my face out alot or hide it behind my hair !).

I don’t enjoy parties much. I only like it when I go with my best friends. When it’s just a random invite to an event, I usually turn it down. I prefer to stay at home since I work on most days, I need those free times with my family. I don’t and cannot eat chilli (this is very rare for an Indonesian).

SimplySxy: What is the craziest thing you have ever done?

Michelle: 3 hair colors in one week. From my virgin hair to ariel red, to maroon red and finally dark cranberry-burgundy-ish red.

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

Michelle: Confidence is always sexy. But above that, it’s having a good heart, being honest, and putting that big brain of yours to great use that also makes a girl sexy. Dumb (or pretending to be dumb) and fake girls are simply unattractive.

Emily Bellerose from Australia is heating things up!

Things are heating up down under even though it is winter in Australia as we feature the sexy Emily Bellerose from Sydney. Enjoy reading Emily’s responses in this fun interview and admire her beauty at every angle in this hot feature!

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

Emily: Hello! Aw it’s a pleasure for me to be featured on SimplySxy, so thank you! I’m very bad at introductions but my name is Emily Bellerose, I’m a huge animal lover (especially ducks) and I’m from Sydney, Australia. I’m nineteen but I look twenty-nine haha, and I am absolutely obsessed with puns!

SimplySxy: Where did your interest in modelling come from and begin?

Emily: Growing up, I’ve always wanted to be something that was either in the entertainment business or someone who was in the spotlight. It went from wanting to be an actress, a singer and eventually a runway model.. until I realised that I was nowhere near meeting the height requirements. I decided to try out import modelling because it seemed so fun and confidence boosting and now I love it and hope that I can eventually model for a living!

SimplySxy: Can you tell us 3 fun facts about yourself?

Emily: Hmm, well this may seem a little odd and weird to a lot of people but I’m actually double jointed in my entire body! I can do weird things like body skips, rotate my hand 360 degrees and so much more. People get so grossed out though, but it’s fun to show off my wacky skill. As I mentioned before, I’m a huge animal lover and love ducks so much that I actually don’t eat them at all! Not to say I haven’t eaten them before but when I got to the age of around ten, I had a moment of realisation and just stopped eating them completely. And last but not least, my blood type is AB which is one of the rarest blood types, and the blood type with the weirdest personality apparently!

SimplySxy: Do you have a fitness regime to staying in such fabulous shape?

Emily: Once upon a time, I used to hit the gym quite often but after my membership expired I’ve just been working out at home. I generally just do some squats and abdominal workouts but I do love vegetables so that keeps me quite healthy. Broccoli is my favourite!

SimplySxy: What is the naughtiest thing you have ever done and not regret?

Emily: Haha! I’m very much a good girl so I don’t think I’ve done anything too naughty? Especially since I’m still only nineteen but in the past I’ve done silly things like get piercings behind my parent’s backs and then get kicked out of the house but nothing that a normal teen hasn’t done!

SimplySxy: Have you experienced any bad pickup lines from guys before?

Emily: I’ve had occasions where guys have tried to convince me to eat with them or scare me by appearing out of nowhere but surprisingly no! I do know a funny anti-pickup line that actually happened though… Here in Sydney, our phone numbers begin with 04 so one time my friend witnessed a guy ask a girl for her number. She told him 042… Sexy for you, and just walked off! I’ve yet to try that haha!

SimplySxy: Are you more of a lingerie or bikini girl?

Emily: I think I’m more of a lingerie girl because there are so many more styles of lingerie. Lingerie makes me feel more classy and fancy than a bikini does but there is always a time and a place for whatever it is you’re wearing and as long as you’re wearing it with confidence, then that’s all that matters.

SimplySxy: Which is your favourite body part?

Emily: Legs!! You can never go wrong with a pair of long legs in a skirt, shorts and even a pair of jeans. I think a pair of legs are attractive in a more subtle way compared to a pair of boobs or a nice ass and that’s what makes them extra nice.

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

Emily: It was my pleasure! Many people define “sexy” in different ways but I don’t think sexy should be defined specifically to a certain look or body type. To me, “sexy” is to have confidence shine through and to have a lovable personality to go with it! “Sexy” shouldn’t be wearing revealing clothes or even lingerie because people can look “sexy” even covered up in the winter. So I think that to be sexy is to be someone with confidence and personality; looks are only a bonus!

When Lesbians Marry Gay Men – ShanghaiPRIDE Film Festival

On its third day of event, ShanghaiPRIDE Film Festival (ShPFF) brought to the audience a hefty discussion around marriage equality, with the support of Consulate General of Switzerland in Shanghai. The ‘Documenting Marriage’ panelists were filmmaker Yuan Yuan, Swiss Consul General Sacha Steiner and Scott Chang, who made headlines last year after marrying his British boyfriend in Beijing, China.

Screening were Chinese documentary Our Marriages: When Lesbians Marry Gay Men and Swiss docu-drama The Circle. The Taste of Memory – Their Tomato was also screened as part of ShPFF’s support for local filmmaking talents.

Our Marriages: When Lesbians Marry Gay Men follows two lesbian couples in their twenties, who founded an online forum for contract marriages. An unusual and often hilarious observation piece, the films exposes the audience the complicated reality of contract marriage in China. The director, Yuan Yuan, opened up the discussion by pointing out marriage as a cultural phenomenon is more of a performance than an institution of actual meanings.

Scott Chang shared his personal experiences of marriage, offering that he liked the tradition and valued it as an expression of love. The figure of 60million gay men in China being married to heterosexual women startled him, he said.

Sacha Steiner, who opened the evening with a powerful proclamation of support for LGBTQ globally, and a reminder of the places were equality is far from achieved, spoke about his decision to bring Teddy Award winning The circle to Shanghai.

The Circle is the story of the first legally married same-sex couple in Switzerland. Through recreated scenes from the early involvement in magazine and ball circuit ‘Der Kries’, they share how their love and lives have grown in the face of adversity.

ShanghaiPRIDE Film Festival will continue with glamor until Sunday, June 21st, featuring a series of screenings, panel discussions, and a filmmaking workshop, attempting to shed a rainbow of acceptance and love to the rainy season of the city. More information and a downloadable digital program can be found at www.shpride.com/films.

Babe of the Day: Ellie Legner

SimplySxy: Hi Ellie, thank you very much for your time taken to answer our questions on SimplySxy. Can you share with our readers a little about yourself and where you’re from?

Ellie: Hey there thanks for having me! Well I am 22 years old and I am from sunny San Diego, CA! I am half Japanese, Irish, and German.

SimplySxy: When did you begin modeling?

Ellie: I have always done a little modeling here and there for as long as I can remember, but I believe Instagram was the start of my modeling platform and being able to work with some amazing photographers!

SimplySxy: If you could pick one perk about being a model, what will it be?

Ellie: Honestly, it would probably just be the amount of incredible new people you get to meet and work with and create ideas with!

SimplySxy: Do you have any hobbies?

Ellie: I love working out & traveling if that counts as a hobby. Oh that and also eating sweets…. If that also counts as a hobby! Haha 😛

SimplySxy: Please share with us 3 fun facts about yourself!

Ellie:

1. I am a student at Cal State University of San Marcos

2. I am a sucker for old school funk music

3. I work at Hooters

SimplySxy: Are you more of a bikini or lingerie babe?

Ellie: I would say I am more of a bikini babe naturally. I would definitely live in a bikini if I could…

SimplySxy: What can a guy do to catch your attention?

Ellie: He has to have a sense of humor—not over the top, but just enough to make me laugh. Oh, that and also it doesn’t hurt if he smells good!

SimplySxy: Which is your favorite body part?

Ellie: People tell me I have really soft succulent skin… So I guess having soft skin would be mine.

SimplySxy: It’s been a great pleasure to have you on SimplySxy, Ellie. One question before we end, how do you define “sexy”?

Ellie: To me being sexy isn’t about the outer self. To me, the sexiest person is humble, yet exudes a confidence that everyone else admires. That is true sexiness.
