I think two important elements to the date itself are an activity, and some kind of food. Interacting with someone in those two scenarios already tell you a lot about a person. Outside of that, if I’ve laughed, I’ve found common ground, and been able to have a small debate without anyone being put out, I consider a date a success.
Assuming there’s nothing life path-wise that’s getting in the way of continuing a relationship, and our bedroom interests line up at least a little, those are the next most important criteria to meet for me!
How Important Are First Impressions?
First impressions are important, but not unrecoverable! A good rule of thumb is that for every negative ‘point’ you acquire in your initial impression, expect it to take about twice the work to undo. As well, it’s important to remember that small awkward slips are often easily laughed off and bonded over!
There is a big difference between leaving being a genuinely negative impression and the silly awkward stuff that happens a lot on first dates!
Expectations I Have For My Date
On a personal level, I like to lay it all out on the table to any relationship that I am considering for serious, long term purposes. I want to know if our life paths are compatible! Kids, marriage, relationship responsibilities and boundaries, and so on.
I also need a partner that is able to stimulate my mind, someone who cares about things, and is knowledgeable about them. This goes just as much for girls as guys!
Common Mistakes Men Make On Dates
Most common mistakes I think relate back to being too tense or formal. If you treat a date like you’re just hanging out with a friend, I find it typically goes better. Especially early on, there’s little point in putting so much pressure on yourself for it to work out, it’s best to just relax and enjoy whatever you’ve decided on doing together!
Can There Be Too Much Flirting On Dates?
On a good date, I don’t think so! Everybody’s going to have different boundaries though. It’s important to communicate if you’re feeling uncomfortable, and listen for when the other party is trying to communicate that too.
Awkward Dating Experiences I’ve Had
Most of the awkward situations with dates I’ve been on have broken down to a lack of clear communication. Usually due to me not being aware the guy was aiming for a date!
One of the best pieces of advice I have to give is to make sure everyone is on the same page. It’s better to clarify now and perhaps cause a bit of awkwardness than it is to find out a boundary was breached or there was a big misunderstanding about something later on.

The dating arena is not all the same everywhere. Getting a partner has become a predicament that has left many people broken for love. For most men, it has become a difficult task. For every pleasure-loving woman, many men or lesbians are chasing after her. However, men can look a little further beyond their vision; they will find the light at the end of the tunnel. Glow in the tunnel is by searching for shemale escort where you can find someone you can date. You will discover transgender women who will be light at the end of that tunnel. If you have never thought of dating a transsexual, then it’s high time you start thinking otherwise. Here are some advantages that you can reap from dating a transsexual.
Strong personality By all standards, a female transsexual has a strong personality. The process of transition is not for the faint-hearted. It requires a firm resolution and courage. It is a bitter fact that society does not frown on being transsexual. Hence as a transsexual, you need to be strong and develop tough skin and know how to deal with all those condemnations. If you are trying to find a female with a strong personality, then female transsexuals are the best option to choose.
Thoughtful and Brilliant If brilliant and thoughtful women float your boat, you will be delighted to start a life with a transsexual female. Research reveals that a transsexual female is twice likely to hold a degree as a normal female can do—most of the men like brilliant women who can have their own even in their conversations.
Great sexual gratification Transsexual females are known to have very appealing curves that even attract the least expected. Their breasts are younger and firm. They are shaggy and seeming to have conversations with their tummies. You will be amazed at how transsexual females get hotter and hotter during their early stages of transition. If she is a pre-op, then you will have great anal sex that you will not regret the whole of your life.
They Have A Firm Grip Of Their Identity It is a more reflective reason that reflects on issues of identity. Many men and women are trying to present themselves in one way or another, but it is so evident that they are forcing it. They do not know who they are but are trying desperately to be what everyone around them expects them. Transsexual individuals have a greater self-awareness than any cis-gendered person. It takes many personal scrutinies to know that your mind says one thing and the body says another. Cis-gendered people will be quite challenging to comprehend. That is why people take self- awareness for granted. Dating a transsexual female who is secure in her identity means having someone who knows and understands what she wants to be and who she is. That is an undervalued and rare quality in a partner. A transsexual female might teach a few things about your identity that you might not have realized.
Dating a transsexual woman has more benefits than a cis female. They are lucky to possess all the qualities that acis female has and extra derived from Trans characteristics. Thus, Shemale escort is more exciting and safe than many people believe.
In a world where people rarely understand each other in any other aspect, it is so wonderful to have a medium that transcends most of the things that divide us as people. For myself, coming to the US with minimal English skills made it very hard to communicate and form bonds, leading to misguided acting out that made me seem like a trouble-making class-clown, but art is such an effective medium to have for expressing yourself, from your shallowest thought to the subconscious songs of your very heart. Art has given me a voice and I intend to never take it for granted.
Bodypainting is specifically very important to me because I love the human body and feel everyone should be more aware and in love with their own bodies; I get the necessity for clothes but it has come to the point where people value the clothes they drape on themselves more than they care about the individual within the material things. We came to this world naked because that is all that is absolutely vital to us, our naked bodies.
The human body is the most perfect original art provided to us and I hate seeing anybody ashamed of their gift; it brings me joy to remind people how beautiful their body has always been despite the clouds of conformity we all have to wade through on a daily basis.
How My Interest In Body Painting Started
I was always trying to hold onto everything I learned in painting class back in High School, then one day my eyes were introduced to Skin Wars on Netflix and I was baffled to see all the places paint could go, both literally and figuratively. It was a competition between body painters and I fell in love with the limitless art pieces they could create to tell any story prompted by the judges.
But simply wanting to make the move from a regular canvas to God’s on canvas was not enough, I was lucky enough to have my friend Megan at the time, who was comfortable enough with her body for the both of us, taking away my fear of messing up my first time putting brush to body. The Venom painting on my Instagram gallery was the very first actual attempt at bodypainting.
Does Having A Background In Photography Help?
My background as a photographer has come in handy for my bodypainting in two key ways: First and foremost, it helps cut out the middleman when capturing certain visions that I have carefully curated. Certain messages and emotions can’t afford to be altered in the portrayal process.
Second, photography has made it second nature to envision models in any desired setting, thereby allowing me to inversely picture how best to portray a scene on a model.
Does Body Painting Require A Lot Of Artistic Ability?
Consider how difficult it already is to paint on canvas, now add depths (3D body) that you have to now counteract with your own depth from shading and blending. It’s definitely harder but that just opens up the door to a whole new world of perspective depth, which is what really makes body painting stand out.
Challenges When Painting On A Body Compared To A Canvass
Other than the battle of depths that I mentioned earlier, models are a bit more animated than regular canvases; I usually have to go over areas multiple times to retouch cracked or smudged paint, but honestly that’s just a small price to pay for the potential masterpiece I see in my head every time.
Typical Process Of A Body Painting Session
Oh it’s a whole mess. My process involves choosing some random picture I think looks vivid, then I change my mind about 20 times, research any other artists who might have done the same idea so I can put a new twist on it, then I stare at the picture for a long while to see if it fits on a body in a clever way.
So far I’ve mainly relied on my classic paint brushes and skin-safe acrylics, but I am currently developing my skills with an airbrusher so I’ll be incorporating that into my projects when I’m comfortable enough for it not to disrupt my painting process, which on average, takes about 2-3 hours (First time it took me five hours, felt eyes glaring down on me as I painted past the four hour mark, you live and learn.).

More men, particularly those in couple relationships, are using vibrators to enhance sexual pleasure, as reported in a study on men’s pleasure and satisfaction by Erin Watson and colleagues. Despite the trend, recent research (Shelly Ronen, July, 2020) reveals that some producers of sex toys view women “as sexually purer than men, who are encumbered with tainting lasciviousness.” Ronen’s research has found, for instance, that some manufacturers understand women as ideal customers whose use of sex toys is ‘morally defensible,’ yet they are far less generous with men. Of course, this isn’t the case for all manufacturers, many of which have upped both the variety and quality of toys aimed at men. What features are making dildos the must-have accessory for male consumers from the heterosexual and LGBTIA+ communities?
A Size For All Seasons
Men who enjoy masturbating with dildos often use ‘fleshlight’-style apparatuses that fit over the penis. These days, this type of dildo comes in various sizes to enhance transportability and to take up less space in suitcases, gym bags, and the like. Thus, classic dildos were made to fit over the entire penis. Today, some are shorter and have open ends (rather than a ‘tunnel-like’ structure), providing men with the pleasurable texture of traditional fleshlights while taking up less space.
Textures And Sights To Surprise
Sex toys these days come in a variety of textures that aim to imitate different parts of the body. Thus, the same apparatus might have two different ‘orifices’ to choose from – one imitating the butt and the other the vagina. These orifices are lined with realistic, skin-like material that can easily be cleaned after use with water-based lubrication. Men are traditionally turned on by visual elements, which is why manufacturers have placed increasingly greater efforts in designing more realistic, appealing toys in skin-like hues, as well as modern, transparent or coloured toys for those who are stimulated by vivid colours. Some dildos are able to be warmed first, to add to the sensation of truly experiencing an encounter with the subject of one’s desire. Within the dildos, sleeves can be kept in or removed for a tighter or more liberating feel.
Influencer Sex Toys
If you are into YouTube, then you have probably noticed that many influencers (including those who do not specialise in sex-related content) are advertising (or are affiliated to) sex toy companies. While simple affiliate marketing is currently the norm, some companies have taken it a step further, naming entire lines after Only Fans stars like Riley Reid or Lana Rhoades. These dildos hold a special appeal for male fans, since they are made out of moulds of the stars’ actual private parts.
Despite the fact that male dildos have existed for decades, manufacturers still have to catch up in terms of seeing these toys as a normal way to enhance male sexual pleasure. The significantly wider range of toys available for men shows that the industry needs to work hard to knock down stereotypes and connect men with toys that can be liberating in times of stress. The good news for male consumers is that top companies are thinking of ways to connect with their desires by offering a wider range of sizes, more realistic textures, and influencer-modelled toys that can make a man’s fantasies feel more authentic than in the past.
I think beauty is taking care of yourself, a total care of your body from inside out. Beauty is not just outside, you have to take care of the inside as well. Are you taking care of your organs? Are your cholesterol numbers of good? How’s the blood pressure? Your heart rate? and how is your eating habit? Is it balance and healthy?
So, I think beauty is combing you appearances, your QI, your lifestyle and eating habits are extremely important to express the BEAUTY OF YOU to people.
Unfortunately most people don’t care too much and don’t know how to eat healthy.
My Beauty Regime
I have been taking traditional Chinese ginseng as my inner beauty body regime to keep me energetic and rejuvenated in every way.
I like to use Monat skincare as my go to beauty skincare, it’s vegan and no animal testing, and also antiaging.
I use ELF for makeup often, will always love to discover more vegan, cruelty free makeup products in the future.
How Important Is Skin Care?
I would say there are two parts that are very important; what we use from outside is for cleaning skin purposes, and the product you choose can be environmentally friendly, no animal testing and naturally vegan. I think that will be the best to the human race and to our beautiful earth.
Does Good Fashion Sense Help?
I think yes, a good fashion sense can help you a lot in your daily life, for example a job interview, meeting new friends, going to a party or business seminar. A good fashion sense can help you lots for networking and first impression for business purposes.

Vivienne Wu – I am a Canadian Taiwanese base in Taipei Taiwan now. A mom of two girls, grew up in Vancouver, graduate in the UK London Fashion of College. Worked in Shanghai and got married. I have a design background, was working as a footwear designer and an interior designer when in China and Hong Kong.
I am very active on social media to promote music festival, EDM Fashion outfit, shuffle dance, and teaching people how to eat healthy.
For me, fashion and beauty are hard to put into words as there are no correct answers. But I believe fashion and beauty are how you express yourself and define your own identity.
Fashion and beauty in the public’s eye are constantly changing, but it is up to your own personal interpretation that makes it truly “yours”.
My Fashion Style
My fashion style I would say, is more minimalistic. I like to mix and match casual pieces with a twist of trendy and bold accessories. I like to stay up to date with the latest styles through social media platforms like Instagram and Pinterest. I also stay up to date with runway looks as well.
Do You Post Specific Photos On Social Media?
There’s not a specific type of photo I post on Instagram, however, I do enjoy sharing moments of my life with my friends, outfits, selfies and etc. I would usually take a lot of photos and look through them and see which ones I like the most.
Getting Inspiration To Start My YouTube Channel
During March this year, the pandemic hit New York very hard, and we were all forced to go into mandatory quarantine. I wanted to do something meaningful for myself while staying home. I hope to use YouTube as a tool to record my life and share my growth.
Deciding The Type Of Content To Create
I usually keep a list on my phone and I will just write down topic ideas when I feel inspired. There is so much time and work that goes into making one video. My first video took me more than two weeks.
I usually start with writing down a draft and go into filming after. Filming can often times take more than two hours. Editing is the most complicated part as there are lots to consider such as subtitles and effects. So I would say, to perfect a video, it usually can take up to one week.
Misconceptions About Instagrammers & YouTubers
People would think Instagrammers and YouTubers and making “easy money”. After entering the YouTube field, I found out how much hard work goes into it, especially when you are in a beginning phase.
Sharon Tao – I was born in Los Angeles, California. I grew up in Taiwan, and I decided to move to New York City to pursue my dream for fashion and marketing. I always enjoyed watching YouTube videos growing up. I love to sharing my life with people on social media which is why I started my own YouTube channel. I hope one day I can also become someone that can inspire people in any type of way.
Fashion has always been a way of self expression for me. Ever since I was a child, I always loved to look good and dress up.
Along with looking good, comfort has always been my number one priority. So I’ve been working my way around finding and finding clothes, shoes, and accessories, that not only look good on me, but are also comfortable at the same time.
Fashion is often representative of how you feel and your self-confidence. When you see yourself in the mirror and like what you see, your self-esteem is sure to go up.
I was struggling with body image issues after I gained weight, so for a while I lost interest in what I wore and whether I looked good or not. But slowly I worked on my body, physically and mentally. Since then, fashion has been an integral part of my day to day life. Taking interest in your appearance and appreciation is vital to gain your self confidence back or rather gain some more and be comfortable in your own skin.
BeforeAfter
My Fashion Style & Go-To Brands
My style entails of high waist pants or jeans paired with crop tops, or leggings with a T-shirt. I love the sporty look and I think it suits me a lot.
Brands I often shop from are Forever21 and H&M or even Westside. I also shop from sports brands like Adidas, Nike, Reebok and Puma time to time.
Misinterpretations About Fashion
Many people have this misinterpretation that when someone dresses up or looks flashy, they’re just doing to seek attention. Most of of the time it’s completely false. At least for me, I most often am dressed down. Only if I’m going out to meet some friends for dinner, or just am in a really good mood, I’ll put in some extra efforts into how I’m dressing up that day. I might even try applying some makeup and and put on some earrings.
Especially when someone wears “revealing” clothes, some people have this mindset that they’re not a good person, they’re unethical or they just are an attention seeker. For me, since I’ve had social anxiety and self image issues, being able to wear clothes that show off more skin had always been very stressful for me. So now that I’ve gained the confidence, I am much more comfortable in such clothes. Also, the number one thing that kept me from wearing such clothes was, “What will people think about me?“
Slowly over the years, I’ve come to realize that people will talk, regardless of what you do. And people are first to push you down when you’re at your worst. The only thing that matters is how you feel and how you see yourself. Do things and wear clothes that make you happy. That’s all that matters at the end of the day.
Are There Styles Or Trends That Don’t Suit?
Since I have always tried so hard to fit it, and never liked it, my style right now is not following the trends basically. My fashion taste is different from most people.
I’m not very girly so you will very rarely see me in a dress or heels. I’m often rocking shoes, sneakers or slip ons instead of shoewear that girls usually prefer.
I’m not saying they don’t suit me, but it just doesn’t make me feel like myself!
How To Explore Your Fashion Style
If you’ve ever seen someone and thought to yourself, “I wonder how I’d look in it” or “Wow that looks great on them but it’d never look good on me”, you should decide that after you’ve put it on.
Don’t be afraid to try new things and change up your style from time to time. Being able to put your time and money into fashion is a luxury, and you shouldn’t ignore it. We have enough time on our hands to spend it on our appearance.
It also positively affects your other activities in life majorly, at least that’s how I feel. Feeling good throughout the day is always a plus point.
Final Fashion Tips To Follow!
Always be confident. Never hate your body or how you look. Treat it well. Be mindful of what you put inside it and around it.
And don’t be afraid of what people say! Stay positive, stay conscious.

Is it even more tough to proceed from dating and into relationship or even sex with an international model and influencer like you who’s almost 23 years old and still a virgin? Your expectations and requirements must be really difficult and hard for men to ever get over that hurdle.
Sometimes I contemplate if my standards are way too high which could play a role on why I’m 22 years old (almost 23) and have never had sex. I actually want to make love for the first time and not just sex to make things even more special. And I know that’s every women’s dream and I want to make that a reality for me. This makes it even more difficult because I’m still a virgin and I’m already super picky. So this makes me even pickier about who may be my first.
I have a set of expectations and requirements just to date me. I also have another set of expectations and requirements just to keep me. And another set of expectations, requirements, and a whole interview process to even have sex with me. Some may think it’s too much, but many think it’s worth it and they try to exceed all of my expectations and requirements. Whom I consider them to be very worthy. I get guys on Instagram and in real life saying how special I am. They label me special because I am the complete package to them – untouched and perfect inside and outside. But they think I’m even more special when they hear I’m still a virgin and that I am very selective. They all praise me for who I am and tell me that they can hardly ever find a woman like me out there who knows her worth and makes herself very expensive.
Many men label me as someone “which men aren’t so much “lucky’”. This means I am very expensive in their eyes where most can never earn and afford me. And I am viewed as even more attractive because guys feel like it’s a chase and a competition to win the prize (which is all of me). And we all know how guys love the chase and going after people and things that aren’t so easy for them to get their hands on. It gives them a thrill and an ego boost for some. But I came across so many guys who absolutely don’t deserve to take my virginity. But whoever I decide to lose my virginity to means that he has met and maybe even exceeded all my standards and expectations I have for him. So I’ll lose my virginity to the person I think deserves it. If it’s not in this lifetime than so be it.
I am very classy and selective and consider myself very special, important, priceless, and valuable that not just anyone will ever have the chance. You have to be very special and worthy that you’ll cherish and worship me like no other 24/7. I rather not experience sex at all than to let someone undeserving inside my sacred temple – this makes me to be perceived as even more valuable and such a high worth. It’s like the saying, you attract what you are. I know I won’t be happy at all if I ever lowered my standards. Which is why I am actually happy and proud to set such a high bar for anyone who comes and tries to date me, get into a relationship with me, or even tries to have sex with me.
Tips To Approach Me
To be honest, I don’t really have a do’s and don’ts list. It just automatically clicks in my head of when I should say “bye”. But I would say for any guy who approaches me to be yourself, be creative to attract my attention, have a sense of humor and make me laugh, and be open and honest.
Don’t use the same pick-up line or treat me the same way like you do with all the other girls you’re trying to pick up. Treat me like I’m different and treat me like a queen and/ or princess that I deserve with respect.
For the don’ts, I would definitely say don’t lie, cheat, be a pervert, and have wondering eyes. I hate liars because that means everything you do and say are all lies. And I don’t tolerate cheaters and wondering eyes because I should be the only one in your eyes and your heart.
What Attracts Me & Expectations Of My Date
I use to be all about appearances and gifts. I remember at a young age where guys surprised me all the time with gifts because they knew it was a way to get into my heart. I would be surprised with roses, candies, and many expensive things. But as I got older (and I’m only 22-year-old haha), I realize there’s way more to just looks and gifts. Gifts only make you happy temporary for that moment. But when there’s no meaning to the gifts or you don’t feel any connection to the person giving you the gift, it sometimes makes the gift worthless.
Also, many good-looking guys may be attractive on the outside, but they have no idea of how to treat a girl. And looks don’t last forever. So I learned that physical appearances and gifts aren’t that important but it’s still a plus for me. But what attracts me the most is someone who’s intelligent, professional, very caring, very attentive, very sweet, very honest, very open, has a sense of humor, meets up to my standards, and I can go on and on because there’s more to the list after completing those layers. Most of all, my expectations is to treat me and spoil me like a princess and a queen.
Dating Turn Offs For Me
For a person like me who’s super picky and has such high standards, I could say, almost every single thing is a turn off. I get turned off so easily it’s crazy. My tolerance is very low. I can go from heart eyes to ice cold eyes with a snap of a finger. That’s why many people call me the ice queen because I am cold hearted and don’t really have any emotion for guys who don’t meet my standards and expectations.
But if I have to list a few turnoffs for me, the main turnoffs would be guys who only care solely on my appearance, think about sex 24/7, liars, cheaters, perverts, and wondering eyes.
Jade Nguyen Tom – It’s not everyday you get to meet the Virgin Queen who is a mixed Chinese and Vietnamese famous influencer and international model. Put all of the beauty, mysteriousness, intriguing, exoticness, innocence, and purity in the world and you get the sexy Jade Nguyen Tom, whose beauty matches her brains and business acumen, running and leading various organizations while being a double major. Constantly, ranked as one of the hottest models internationally, Jade is one beautiful and sexy lady you never want to take your eyes off after just a single glance.
I am a recent college grad who graduated from the University of the Pacific with a double major in Marketing and Management & Human Resources. Many people think I have the beauty (of being mixed Chinese and Vietnamese) because of my past history of competing in pageants (such as Miss California USA, Miss Vietnam Global, Miss Vietnam Northern California, Face of America, etc.) and modeling competitions (such as Maxim Magazine and Maxim Australia *placed 3rd in both competitions*), while being featured in many publishing sites like Famous Birthdays, Omg Asian Babes, and many others.
What many don’t know is that I also have the brains. I was a double major in Marketing and Management & Human Resources while holding three positions in one organization, one position in another organization, and a side job being a content creator which I was able to grow over 160K followers within three years of opening my Instagram accounts. With all of this, I was still able to give back to my community by volunteering. My personal views towards life is to be spontaneous and ambitious. Shoot for your dreams while still having fun along the way. You only have one life so be able to live it to the fullest. I like to live by the line “live like there’s no tomorrow” to push me to do things that are beyond my limits or what I’m afraid to do. The most important thing for me is to make an impact and lasting impressions wherever I go, so people are able to remember me. And I usually successfully accomplish that because many people label me as very mysterious, exotic, and such a wild card. I love to be able to leave that lasting impression that makes people come begging for more.
My Modeling Journey
I actually was approached by a modeling agent at a very young age. I was about five years old when I stole the hearts of visitors at the Disneyland Resort. A modeling agent approached my parents at the theme park giving them their contact information. Unfortunately, we never went forward with the modeling gig. A few years later when I was nine, the second time was at Target (in a city I didn’t live in). A modeling agent happened to be shopping at the same store and spotted me. The agent proceeded to speak with my parents and I about signing with their agency. But then, my parents and I never went through with it because my parents didn’t like me investing my whole life and career into modeling because it wasn’t promising.
Then at the age of 18, I was snapping photos and posting them online where I was selected by PUSH Models, Femme Fetale Media, and many more to rep for their agencies. I continued to have mainstream success throughout the following months – being asked to play in various roles and commercials while also being asked to compete in various pageants such as Miss California USA, Miss Vietnam Global, Miss Vietnam Northern California, Face of America, etc. In 2019, I was ranked 2nd as the Top 10 Models/ Beauty & Makeup / Fashion Influencers in Hong Kong.
I knew I had become an international model at that stage, but I knew for sure when I was 20 years old where I was handpicked by Maxim Magazine to compete in their international competition. Through that, it was confirmed that I was an international model because I had exposure to such a huge audience from all over the world. Just this year, I was also scouted to compete for Maxim Australia which is all the way across the world. So I guess you could say that I have always been in the eye of the modeling industry but I began to be interested in being part of the modeling industry in my late teenage years.
The Transition To Being An Influencer
At the beginning, I separated being an influencer and model. I actually came onto social media and became an influencer because I had an interest in connecting with people and always wondered how public figures and companies built their brand for themselves. So I guess you can say that my business side kicked in where I wanted to learn how to build a brand while also being able to make a lasting impression where people would remember me for who I am and the impact I’ve done.
The modeling aspect actually merged with being an influencer much later. I was afraid that many people would be blinded by my modeling work that they wouldn’t be able to see the real me. Which was why I kept those two separates. After establishing a fan base, I was able to unveil my past, present, and future modeling work. I now use both experiences interchangeably because they both have many similar aspects to the job.
The Hard Work Done Behind The Photos
I try to be as natural as possible. I am not a big fan of photoshop and editing because it takes away the real beauty you were born with. Instead, I take lots of photos like one hundred per setting, so I have a selection to choose from. Sometimes a few photos don’t capture how you actually look like in real life because of the lighting, angles, lens, etc. Also, a fun fact is that I didn’t start wearing makeup until I was 21 years old. I am all about natural beauty and displaying your natural features instead of covering it up. Even now with the makeup, I only wear very minimal – just eyeliner and lipstick – and I am good to go. I just think that makeup actually harms your skin in the long run and that’s why I only wear eyeliner and lipstick.
I think the hard work actually comes from accepting the beauty you were born with and being able to learn how to display it in the most flawless way. Another hard job behind my photos and videos would be to choose which one I want to post when they all look good. I don’t want to spam my fans with photos from the same settings. So I am faced with the issue of choosing the best few photos to post while the rest just sits sadly in my photo gallery.
Do Guys Feel Intimidated To Ask You Out For Dates?
Yes, all the time. Many guys are intimidated by me even before hearing that I am an international model. Sometimes I feel uncomfortable letting people know that I am an international model because of the impression of what they may have of me and it may be perceived as bragging. So I usually lay low about that topic.
I still get many guys who would stare at me from afar no matter where I am, but they still never have the courage to come up to me to strike up a conversation. But it’s the complete opposite on social media, where I have over thousands of guys in my DMs calling me their dream girl, asking me for my number, to go on dates with them, to meet their parents, some labeling me as their girlfriend, and many proposing to me. And I can understand this because people seem to be bolder online than in-person.
But there have been times where you get a brave guy from time to time who would come up to me and ask me out on a date or for drinks. But because I’m the person that I am, I am very picky and usually think that every guy was out of my league because of the high standards I set. Years have passed from that mentality, and I still maintain those high standards.
I have come to understand that not everyone is perfect and that I need to focus instead on someone who makes me happy in every way and is able to put my needs before theirs while treating me like a queen and/or princess. Some may say that I have increased my standards even more while others may say that I grew to understand what I truly want.

Influencer marketing is a very powerful and increasingly popular alternative to traditional advertising. More and more businesses are using influencers as a very effective strategy to develop more credibility and promote brand awareness. Influencers are individuals who have a large following, giving them the ability to promote your message and brand to large numbers of people. Influencers tend to have audiences that trust them and follow their recommendations. Reaching out to influencers allows you to put together a strategy for your brand to be advocated for by somebody who is respected and trusted by your target audience. Here’s the best way to conduct influencer outreach for the best results.
Understand Your Goals:
It’s important to fully understand your target audience, know exactly what your brand stands for and have clear goals in mind to come up with an effective influencer marketing strategy. This information will make it easier for you to determine who the best person is going to be to help deliver your message, as the wrong influencer and audience are likely going to do more harm than good to your brand. Spend some time coming up with a clear persona for your target audience and figure out which influencers are currency successfully marketing to this type of audience.
Study the Marketplace:
Finding the right influencers isn’t going to be something that will happen by chance. It’s important to take some time to really get to know the marketplace and come up with a shortlist of influencers who are likely to be a good fit for your brand. Who is your target audience already following and interacting with on social media? Bear in mind that your influencers should be people who share an enthusiasm for your message, brand and niche and have established their authority in the industry. You should look for an influencer who creates content that is often shared, have a large number of social followers and a lot of engagement.
Get to Know Your Potential Influencers:
Bear in mind that social media influencers are often approached by various companies offering to work with them. It’s a good idea to get to know a potential influencer before you approach them and don’t try to reach out before you know exactly what your message is and how they are going to fit into your marketing strategy. Spend some time following their blog or social media profiles to learn more about what they are about and use Nuwber to find as much publicly available information on them as you can.
Build a Relationship:
Bear in mind that influencers are used to hearing sales pitches all the time or often have brands getting in touch trying to get their attention. But good influencer outreach means spending some time building a relationship with the influencer as a human rather than simply seeing them as just a marketing strategy for your brand. Bear in mind that first impressions really count here and how the influencer views you and your brand from the first interactions that you have can really shape your relationship for the future. This is just another reason why it’s so important to learn more about the influencer and get to know their approach before you reach out.
When it comes to influencer outreach, it’s important to take the time to not only select the right influencers for your brand but get to know them better too.
