    Artist & Model Paige Biro From Canada

    Honestly a couple things, I’m new to modelling, I’ve been a dancer my whole life. Last year I decided to take a year off of dance, but I still needed some type of “creative outlet”  I’ve always been interested in modelling but never knew how to get into it.

    I ended up doing some research and found a photographer in my city who had amazing work. So I set up a shoot with them just to get some nice photos and to have a cool experience! It’s safe to say I fell in love with the “process”. I love getting into different looks and just brainstorming the next concept for a shoot.

    Which genre of modeling do you prefer most?

    Definitely boudoir/sensual. I’ve gained so much confidence doing boudoir modelling. I love myself and my body so much now and I want to help women realize there is nothing wrong with loving every inch of yourself. You should never feel bad or ashamed of your body, it’s a masterpiece.

    How did your inspiration as a makeup artist come from?

    It came from dance. Since I was 6 years old I have been wearing make up for recitals and shows. My mom always did it at first, but I always wanted to play and do it myself. Once I was old enough, I started to do it on my own. And boom, self taught MUA. I’m very artistic, so I love creating new eye looks and seeing what works and what doesn’t.

    Have you had a memorable modeling or photoshoot experience to share?

    Yes! Just recently I went to LA to expand my modelling portfolio. Hands down my best experience has been out there. I shot with @nando_pro at Zenhive and I have never felt more like a princess. It was a beautiful location with some great people. I’m still on cloud nine from it and am so so thankful to have had that experience, I met some amazing people that will be my life long friends.

    If you can have a super power, what will it be?

    You know I actually think about this a lot.

    I bounce back and forth between, teleportation and time travel. Can we call that a super power?! Being able to teleport into whatever time zone I preferred?

    How do you usually like to spend your weekends?

    Honestly I just like to work on myself and get whatever I need to done. Whether it’s filming my next YouTube video, picking out my next photoshoot outfit, or just hanging out with a close friend. I like to stay busy though. Always.

    What is a funny or awkward attempt a guy has tried to know you?

    Oh wow this is a funny one. Probably CHASING me down the hall way after I was leaving a Halloween party…he’s like. “hey I didn’t get to introduce myself to you!” I kept walking because I was down the hall way already, but he came running to see me.

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

    Thank you so much for featuring me on SimplySxy! It’s truly an honour.

    I would define sexy as just being comfortable in your skin and doing whatever you want to feel good! True sexiness is when it shines through the soul.

    To keep up with all my shenanigans follow my Instagram account @onepaige_atatime 

    I also post weekly YouTube videos! My channel is Paigie Keen. My exclusive content where you’ll find all my BTS from all my boudoir shoots and never before seen photos is onlyfans.com/paigebiro

    Look for me in Dezire Magazine July issue, Elegant Magazine August issue, Xpressions Magazine September issue and my most recent magazine publication will be in an upcoming BabeWatch Magazine!

  • Model & Burlesque Dancer Kia Sangria

    Model & Burlesque Dancer Kia Sangria

    I am from New York City, The Bronx to be specific (Where the famous Joker Steps are)

    What hobbies and interests do you have?

    That’s hard because I love a lot of things my hobbies include Cosplay, Burlesque, and Modeling. In terms of my interests I enjoy comic book movies and pop-culture, I’m also a makeup fiend. I have enough eyeshadow palettes to cover my queen sized bed!

    Which is your most or one of your more memorable travel experiences so far?

    I took a trip to the Dominican Republic in the summer of 2018 and it was beautiful! I got chased by a peacock, it was truly wild.

    Do you believe in any superstition?

    Hmmm…Yes and no, as a practicing witch, I do know that there are things out there that cannot be explained but at the same time, there are things that can be explained scientifically.

    Is there something you’ve always wanted to do or experience but have yet to find the time for it?

    I’ve always wanted to host my own Podcast! I’m still strongly considering it and have been jotting down show topics in my journal!

    Have you been in an embarrassing situation that is funny now when looking back?

    I’m convinced that anyone who doesn’t have an answer to this isn’t human. Of course I have! Once upon a time maybe two years ago while performing on stage, I farted during my burlesque act! I was so mortified because it had never happened before and it was anything but sexy.

    The worst part? I couldn’t even express my embarrassment because I was performing in character and had to keep up the sexy appearance. Lucky for me, my music was loud enough to hide the toot, but yeah it still haunts me.

    If you could have a superpower, what will it be?

    I would love to be able to see infinite possibilities in life.

    What do you not get about guys?

    I understand the men pretty well, as a woman in this world I have no choice but to be aware of men, their actions, and their mentality. At this point it’s like breathing and there isn’t really anything mysterious to me about the male collective. I would even go so far as to say women understand you better than you guys understand yourselves at times.

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

    It’s going to be so cliche for me to say, “Sexy is what you make of it”.

    Sexy to me is owning everything about yourself physically and spiritually and saying, “This is hot and I enjoy what it is I have”. To be honest, I still struggle with seeing myself as sexy but this is usually what I default to.

  • Cosplayer & Cosmaker Kido Chan

    Cosplayer & Cosmaker Kido Chan

    Hi, I’m Kido Chan, I live in Italy and I’m a cosplayer and cosmaker! My art name is “Kido Chan cosplay” and it’s my nickname for all the social network.

    I’ve been a part of this world for a while now, but I started dedicating myself seriously only after my weight loss (at first I really weighed a lot).

    I love cosplay, it makes me feel good, I have fun and I like to create accessories and costume parts, both for myself and for others (it’s so fun!).

    How did you get started into cosplaying?

    I started a few years ago when I met an important person that become part of my life, who urged me to start and never give up. I’ve always loved the world of cosplay, but I never had the courage to start!

    Which is a memorable cosplay experience you have had so far?

    The most important experience was to be a cosplay’s judge for a contest for the first time!

    That was a really important year for me, full of positive experiences.

    Do you have any advice for someone looking to get started into cosplay?

    Never give up! At the beginning, we think we are not able to do anything, but you need to be stubborn and improve yourself by learning, growing and evolving!

    What is a common misconception about cosplayers you usually hear?

    The misunderstanding that I often hear about cosplayers is that they often compare us to something not very serious or that we are people who waste time.

    Is there something you’ve always wanted to do or learn but haven’t had the time?

    I would love to learn how to use resin for my cosplays! It fascinates me a lot and I often admire those who use it for their costumes!

    Which flavor best describes you?

    I’m not sure, but the flavor that best describes me is that of strawberries! Sweet, with a good smell ( I really like strawberries and they taste great with chocolate, which I love!).

    What is a funny or lame attempt a guy has tried to know you?

    I don’t think it’s funny, but perhaps the most annoying attempt is that of how much a guy keeps writing to you and even though you tell him you’re not interested…keeps writing even if you don’t answer him!

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

    It’s a very difficult question for me, but I think that to be “sexy” the eye glance is a really important element, for a cosplayer, it’s important to talk with its eyes!

  • Russian Based Cosplayer Anastasia

    Russian Based Cosplayer Anastasia

    Well, I was born in Great Britain, Kettering, but mostly grew up in Italy and Russia.  Now I live in Russia, Volgograd ^^

    How long have you been cosplaying and why do you love it?

    I like gaming, anime and manga since 2015 year. This year I made my first cosplay (if I may call it that) of Maxine Caulfield from the game Life Is Strange. But I think I started cosplay only in June 2018, and it was Yuno Gasai from Mirai Nikki.

    Which characters do you love to cosplay and why?

    I really like to cosplay Yandere characters, they are very cool and interesting, I like the facial expressions and charisma of such characters, bloody scenes X.

    Which is a memorable cosplaying experience you had that you can share with us?

    The biggest experience I got was from cosplaying Diva and 2B. At Diva, I changed different parts in the suit, added new ones, and made the suit / craft better. At 2B, I customized the katana, painted it, and made it detailed.

    What is the best compliment you have received?

    I am happy from all the compliments haha.

    If you could be a superhero or super villain for real, who will it be?

    D.Va 100% X. I like her because she is super kawaii but she is very powerful and have cool meka.

    On a scale of 1-10, how much of a foodie are you?

    I think it’s 7 of 10, cuz I’m like exotic but not always o.o

    What is a lame or awkward attempt a guy has tried to know you?

    One guy from my city wrote to me, “I’m ready to pay you $ 1,000 a night if you will have sex with me,” I told him that I am not a product and also wrote, “you can discuss this with my boyfriend, idiot.”

    To which he also gave me his answer, “YOUR GUY CAN STAND AND FAP NEARBY.” It was insanely stupid and I just added this guy on the black list. I don’t even know what he expected …

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

    I don’t know, but for me, sexuality should be inspiring, and there should not be too much vulgarity in it. It should be like a work of art.

  • Californian Model, Talent & Foodie Irene

    Californian Model, Talent & Foodie Irene

    Hi guys! My name is Irene (despite my Insta handle being @not.irene), and honestly I never know what anyone means when they ask where I’m from lol. I’m a Taiwanese who’s born in Oklahoma but living in California hahah.

    What is your beauty regime like to look so beautiful?

    Beauty is internal and external! Happiness on anyone is the most beautiful thing ever. As for external beauty, little details go a long way! I never go to bed without brushing my teeth, I always find a gym whenever I’m vacationing, and of course all the basic-ish like exfoliating, face washing and keeping my brows in check because I used to have caterpillar brows lol.

    Do you have any hobbies or interests?

    FOOOOOD! This is a habit I gotta kick but I eat when I’m bored, happy, in class, or in distress. I have a video of me eating Chips Ahoy cookies when I got stuck in a baby swing while the fire department were sawing me out. Besides that, I’m a student at two different colleges studying business and real estate. I dance hip hop in LA and sometimes do aerial silks, surf in the summertime, cheer for my college’s football team, and work at a gymnastics gym. To say the least.

    How do you like to spend your weekends?

    FOOOOOD!!! Besides my food obsession, I hate staying indoors so catch me shooting on a beach or dragging my boyfriend out to the mall to fuel my shopping addiction. There were also a couple times where I’d grab my friends and randomly drive seven hours to Mammoth Mountain lol.

    Which 3 items are most important in your wardrobe?

    EVERYTHINGGGG!! Back when the Woolsey fire hit LA, I would not leave my house until I packed every single clothing article, every good shampoo and conditioner, every pair of shoes I had and every makeup palette.

    If I was forced to choose three though, I would choose my good butt jeans, a lingerie bodysuit, and my stiletto heels.

    On a scale of 1-10, how much of a party animal are you?

    Honestly I’m either cracked out (not literally), blacking out in the doorway of a hotel with people stepping over me or having an anxiety attack and hiding in the corner. There’s literally no in between. So I’d say I’m a negative 3 or a 13.

    If you could have a superpower, what will it be?

    TELEPORTATION because one time I drove three hours for crepes and if I could teleport then I could go all over the world and snatch up all the food I want.

    What turns you off on a date?

    When a guy’s normal. I hate normal people. Normal people scare me.

    Also when a guy thinks that bragging/lying about their fortunes will draw me in LOL I’m not out here looking for a sugar daddy.

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

    Sexy isn’t just having your tits and ass out, it’s genuinely loving your body and being comfortable in yourself despite society’s standards for women/the modeling industry. Knowing that you are more than your looks, more than the likes you get on a photo or the number of followers you have.

  • Veteran & Twitch Streamer Emery Pan

    Veteran & Twitch Streamer Emery Pan

    Hi! Thank you for having me. My name is Emery Pan and I am originally from Canada.  I moved to the United States and joined the US Army when I was 20.  I served one term as a paratrooper in the 82nd airborne division, deploying to Afghanistan in 2017. Now I am a veteran working in real estate investing and live-streaming on Twitch in my spare time. I also travel extensively and have been all over the world.  I am actually in Vietnam right now!

    What is your proudest achievement so far?

    Being able to help out my fellow veterans by employing them and training them to have financial literacy after the military.  I will be publishing a book in the early part of 2020.

    How is a typical day like for you?

    I travel so much, there is no such thing as typical.  The only thing consistent about my day is that there never seems to be enough hours.  I’m constantly traveling, seeking a life of breathless wonderment.

    Which is the best compliment you have received?

    A Colonel told me that he hopes his daughter grows up to be like me one day.

    Is there something you’ve always wanted to do but have yet to find the time for it?

    Be the queen of a small country?  But in reality, I’ve always wanted to learn how to dance.

    If you could collaborate with anyone past or present, who will it be?

    Nellie Bly! She was an American investigative journalist and after reading the book “Around the world in 80 days”, wanted to see if she could do it.  In 1889, she set off alone with one suitcase and managed to circumnavigate the globe in 72 days.

    On a scale of 1-10, how much of a foodie are you?

    I have eaten exotic foods all around the world but I’m just as happy eating mac and cheese out of the pot cross-legged on my kitchen floor.  So maybe a solid 4?

    Are there any exciting projects you have coming up for the rest of 2019?

    Finishing my book and looking at raising funds for a development project in the Adriatic Sea.

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

    I find the most erotic organ to be found between the ears, not between the legs.  Sexy is a person who understands that eroticism starts long before the bedroom, the best words are the ones that don’t come from the tongue.

  • LA Pharmacist & Influencer Joanna Tam

    LA Pharmacist & Influencer Joanna Tam

    Hi, my name is Joanna, I am a full-time pharmacist and part-time “influencer.” I was born and raised in SoCal and currently live in Los Angeles.

    What hobbies and interests are you into?

    Since I was five years old, I have always been really into fashion. I remember going into department stores as a kid and picking out cute miniskirts and bell-sleeved tops. When it came time to choosing a major in high school, I always wanted to pick a career path in fashion. However, my parents always warned me about the importance of financial security and I was too scared to pursue my dream. I ended up picking pharmacy (which I eventually grew to love).

    As I came closer to getting my doctorate degree, I started to feel more and more upset at the idea of going through life not doing what I truly loved. With this thought in mind, I started posting outfit photos on Instagram, eventually grew a following, and started working with brands I love! Instagram has become my fashion outlet and is now one of my biggest interests.

    Traveling is another huge interest of mine, as I love to taste and experience different cultures around the world. In the past couple years, I have traveled to Paris, Rome, Florence, Venice, Chicago, New York, Cancun, Tulum, Barcelona, London, French Riviera, and Monaco. I am always looking forward to my next escape!

    Which is the best compliment you have received before?

    I think one of the best compliments I have received is that I have really grown as a person. I am always striving to be a better individual whether it’s improving on actively listening to my friends when they talk about their problems or being more understanding of people and being less judgmental.

    Do you believe in any superstition?

    I don’t really believe in any superstitions. However, I would never mess with anything paranormal such as a ‘haunted’ house or an Ouija board!

    How much of a foodie are you?

    I am a VERY big foodie. I am always excited to try out new restaurants and desert destinations. I wouldn’t really be able to pick a favorite type of food either D:

    What have you always wanted to do but have yet to find the time for it?

    I have always wanted to take kickboxing classes! I have never been the athletic individual, but the idea of kickboxing has always been interesting to me. However, I would ideally want to take classes 2-3 times per week, but have never had availability in my schedule to do it!

    Which flavor best describes you?

    That is a weird question! I think I would be sweet and sour.

    What is a funny or awkward attempt a guy has tried to know you?

    Just last week I was working at the pharmacy and a guy was waiting for a consultation to ask a question to a pharmacist. I was assisting someone else, but I felt him looking at me. The pharmacy was super busy that day and the lines were insane, but I saw him continue to wait for maybe 25 minutes. Eventually, I go up to the window and ask what his question was.

    He proceeded to ask for a medication recommendation for his mom. After I gave a recommendation, he asked me for my number. Now this may not seem awkward, but keep in mind, the whole pharmacy and all the people waiting in line heard this and heard me tell him, “sorry, I have a boyfriend.”

    My Instagram DMs are a whole different story.

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

    Confidence is sexy. There isn’t anything sexier than someone who loves herself or himself in a non-self-obsessed way.

  • Entrepreneur & Model Hayden Van Hulzen

    Entrepreneur & Model Hayden Van Hulzen

    Hello SimplySxy, it’s a pleasure to be speaking with you.  My online personal brand is @hayd3nm3rryn and professionally I am Hayden Van Hulzen.  As a marketing professional, I used my own personal alter-ego to develop a brand identity that I could test and execute my own marketing theories, and thus “@hayd3nm3rryn” was created.

    I am from Chicago, Illinois, specifically a town called Gurnee (yes, where Great America is) and I attended DePaul University in Chicago for my undergraduate degree and lived in a high-rise overlooking Wrigley Field. I will always love Chicago but I do consider Scottsdale, Arizona home now.

    How did you get started into modeling?

    When I was very young, I was already quite tall and thin and was involved in a variety of sports and extracurricular activities.  I was approached on several occasions to be involved in different runway shows and catalog shoots.  One of my first modeling gigs was for a dance-wear catalog.

    This was my first paid gig.  Modeling is a lot harder than it looks, but I quickly took to the style of movement while simultaneously posing to enhance the garments or items that I was showcasing.  A great model is truly a chameleon because the intention isn’t to actually outshine whatever you’re marketing, but to actually enhance and add value to it.

    From there I went on to model for agencies like Elite Model Management in Chicago (which evolved into Factor Women) and I walked the runway for a variety of local designers and other notable brands like CHANEL and AKRIS.

    I had a lot of opportunities to continue with my career in modeling, but I was trying to juggle an undergraduate degree and life at the time, and I chose my degree instead.

    I have since continued to do a variety of modeling, acting, and promotional based gigs as I find time in my schedule to enhance and play a role in the marketing flywheel that I have developed for my own personal brand.

    Which is the most challenging modeling shoot you have done so far?

    They all present different challenges but I think some of the most challenging photoshoots are the ones where you truly have to strip (both physically and emotionally) away all of the things that you are attached to as an individual to truly embody the art that is being captured by the photographer.

    Society is so afraid to see itself naked, and I mean this in every possible metaphorical sense.  The norms and mores of society are built off of fear and judgement; there is so little room for anything that embraces true art and the open-mindedness that it requires.  Art is intended to make you feel something and sometimes that can be uncomfortable. It’s through these different lenses that we widen our view, push our own limits, and force ourselves out of our comfort zones.  It is in this moment that we are able to are able to find new ways to look at the world that can be transcendent, revolutionary, and even life-changing.

    Do you have any hobbies or interests?

    I am an entrepreneur, so my hobby is my business.  But, along with this, I am a Mom first and foremost.  I am a friend to an incredible group of powerful women that uplift me on the daily. I spend time traveling (as I am able), attending various sporting events (NFL/NBA), and reveling in the Fashion and Cosmetics industries.

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

    I don’t want to get existential here but it’s almost impossible not to. Aren’t we all just trying to always find our meaning or purpose?  What is the meaning for our individual existence? We spend our whole lives trying to learn, find, and decide what that is, and we hope on our dying day, to have found that answer for ourselves and to truly be able to leave a legacy behind and rest in peace.

    What is the best compliment you have received?

    “I believe in you.”  This will always be the greatest compliment I have ever received.

    Which flavor best describes you?

    I feel like I’m like Sour Patch kids.  Originated in the 80s, timeless, my exterior is electrifying.  There is some discomfort in trying to take me all in, but you crave it regardless.  The people who are fans of me, well they are die-hards, and the ones that don’t really like me, well they still dabble from time to time.

    Because the sensation of taking me in, it’s flavorful, different, and one of a kind.  But if you can get past that initial layer that is a combination of so many sensations to process, you get to that sweet center that makes battling the plethora of emotions and responses you have initially, worth it.

    What do you not get about the opposite sex?

    I don’t understand why men are so conditioned by society to be afraid of partnership or commitment.  They see it as a shackle instead of a boost.  Too many times they try to control their own humanity when it comes to feelings and they ultimately sabotage their own happiness by feeding into this overly chauvinistic mob-mentality.

    Modern day relationships just don’t develop the same way.  Social media has given us far too much access.  We don’t have the traditional mindset of “if it’s broken, you fix it.” we’ve moved on to “if it’s broken, replace it” or even worse “it still works, but I’d like to try this new one they just released because it’s popular and fun” and the same is true of modern relationships.

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

    Sexy is a state of mind.
