    Model & Actress Siren D’ville

    SimplySxy has the unique opportunity to interview model and actress Siren D’ville, who hails from Yerevan, Armenia. Read on to find out more about this amazing lady!

    What inspired you to be a model and how long have you been modeling?

    What inspired me to be a model is I love being in front of the camera
    doing poses and being creative.  As a model you have to be creative
    with your poses, not the photographer.  I have been modeling since
    from November 14, 2014.  I am an internationally published model.  I
    got published in SOUR Magazine, February 2019, Femme Modern Magazine,
    April 2019, Xpressions Magazine, October 2019, Make Sense Magazine,
    April 2022.  Social media star.  I am on every internet page.

    Which is a memorable or unforgettable photoshoot you’ve had before?

    Memorable photoshoot that I had was at Cherry Beach holding an
    umbrella in my hand.  Differed from other photo shoots that I had.  I
    like the beach and the water, calms me.

    How was the experience like participating in beauty pageants and winning them?

    Experience in participating in beauty pageants was great and winning
    them was amazing.  I feel honored winning such a notable title.  In
    the entertainment industry if you don’t have a name, you are nobody.
    Losing is easy, winning is bravery.

    Is acting on camera a lot more challenging than being on a photoshoot?

    Acting on camera yes is a lot more challenging than being on a
    photoshoot because when you are on camera you need to be creative,
    express yourself in ways that you don’t get to express yourself in
    other ways.  I like how you express yourself with your hands, facial
    expressions and with your acting skills.  Read the script ten times
    until it is perfect.  Definitely a challenge.  Acting is not an easy
    job.  It takes dedication, commitment and hard work.  You need to give
    hundred percent in every audition you go to so you can get casted.  As
    for being on a photo shoot, you need to be creative with your poses
    being in front of the camera.  You should know which pose is right for
    you than the photographer.  It is still hard work being in front of
    the camera more than one hour.  You have to put a lot of hard work
    into it if you want your photos to turn out good/quality, especially
    when submitting for magazine publications.  Quality is key as well as
    creativity.  You need to have creative imagination when it comes to
    poses and producing quality work.  As the saying goes, quality counts
    more than quantity.

    Which are some of your acting highlights so far in your career?

    My acting highlights so far in my career is I think the film that got
    me out there was Two Ways to Heaven (role of Ms. Melissa Mauricio) lead actress (High Profile Businesswoman), January 22, 2017 (Revue Cinema) and Simulation Actress that played at Aga Khan Museum, July 2017, New Things student short film role of a mother, lead actress and many other roles.

    You have won several awards before, which is the most memorable to you?

    Most memorable award was, Miss Congeniality Armenia award (2020),
    London, England. (Pageant Queen).  They are doing it virtual now due
    to COVID 19 pandemic.  I have a legal background.  I went to Seneca
    College of Applied Arts & Technology took a two year Law Clerk Diploma
    Program.  I went on my own doing court agency work, criminal set dates
    and small claims litigation.  I think it was a pretty good fit.  There
    is definitely a match.

    If you could act alongside anyone today in a production, who will it be?

    Great question.  If I could act alongside anyone today in a
    production, it will be Hilary Swank.  She is a great actress and lots
    of people like Hilary Swank.  She is brave/courageous actress which I
    admire that a lot in actresses and she is very brave from what I have
    seen films that she has been in.  She seems a versatile actress.
    Likeable and talented.  It would be my honour to act alongside with
    her.  I am sure I will learn a lot from her.

    For those who are not familiar with burlesque, can you share a bit of
    what it is?

    A burlesque is a literary, dramatic or musical work intended to cause
    laughter by caricaturing the manner or spirit of serious works or by
    ludicrous treatment of their subjects.  The word derives from the
    Italian burlesco, which in turn, is derived from the Italian burla-a
    joke, ridicule or mockery.  Burlesque overlaps in meaning with
    caricature, parody and travesty and in its theatrical sense, with
    extravaganza as presented during the Victorian era.  A variety show,
    typically including striptease.  Cause to appear absurd by parodying
    or copying in an exaggerated form.

    Is there a lot of training required to undergo before being a
    burlesque performer?

    Not really.  Burlesque is not hard.  You can do it yourself by
    watching it on you tube.  A lot of it is choreography, sensuality and
    costuming.  Burlesque dancers spend lots of money on wigs and
    costuming.  You would need to have a stable income to be in burlesque.
    Feather boa is the most important accessory.  There is not a lot of
    burlesque stuff going on in Toronto, Canada.  I feel honored being
    trained by a world renown instructor/legend by the name of Michelle
    L’amour.  She is number one dancer in America.  She won the title Miss
    Exotic World, Reigning Queen of Burlesque, 2005, World’s Best Group,
    2010.  Thanks to Michelle L’amour people are saying where you learned
    all these moves.  I did a debut here in Toronto, Canada June of 2012,
    then I was hired to perform at Tryst nightclub, used to be Tryst now
    it’s Orchid.  My dream is to win the Miss Exotic World Reigning Queen
    of Burlesque.  I am going to take after my world renown instructor
    legend Michelle L’amour.  Fantastic performer and a great person.  I
    had ballet when I was a kid in Yerevan, Armenia so it was not hard for
    me.  Learned a lot from her and her instructor Frenchie Kiss.  Chicago
    has the best training program.  Anywhere in Chicago, Illinois, New
    York, Atlanta Georgia, Seattle, Detroit, Michigan lots of burlesque
    there.  I know American Classic Striptease.

    How do you juggle everything and what is a typical day like for you?

    I try to make a schedule for myself like I will do this today and
    tomorrow I will focus on my acting self-tapes, etc.  I wear many
    different hats.  I also have a voice talent where I recorded You
    Haven’t Seen the Last of Me sung by Cher from the movie Burlesque when
    I was in Chicago, Ilinois with the ex-husband.  That was a modern
    burlesque that I saw with Christina Aguilera.  With respect to
    singing.  I don’t see a lot of voice stuff going on in Toronto,
    Canada.   Not a lot of art stuff going on in Toronto, Canada.  This is
    not the States when there are lots of opportunities there.

    Do you have any exciting projects coming up for the rest of the year?

    I am thinking of writing a book about my journey going into modeling,
    acting, burlesque and a story about my not so normal life then do a
    movie.  Lots of problems happened here in Toronto, Canada ever since
    the split with the ex-husband, crazy ups and downs.  Never knew that
    there would be this many problems.  Have it published.  I have
    accomplished so much and now I am looking for love.  There is no Mr.
    Right/Prince Charming for me here in Toronto, Canada, when I leave
    here I will find my Mr. Right/Prince Charming.

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

    The way I define “sexy” is sexy comes from within, confidence.  Is how
    you present yourself and how you feel about yourself.  Pleasing,
    attractive/alluring.  Every woman is sexy in every way, whether you
    are skinny, plus size, every woman is sexy and beautiful in every way.

  • Freelance Model Sophieja

    Freelance Model Sophieja

    Good day! my name is Sophieja and loved to be called as Sophie. Sophie means ‘wisdom’ in Greek. I’m basically 21 and I am Capricorn. This year and I have been jumbling my studies and my acting career in between. For the time being, I am basically focusing on my Bachelor Degree in Mass Communication at Inti International University.

    I’ve recently graduated from my Diploma in Mass Comm as well. Took my first breath at Subang Jaya Medical Centre, but most of time, me and my family moved around. Currently, we’re residing in a beautiful suburb Nilai, Negeri Sembilan.

    What inspires your fashion style and where do you love to shop from?

    My fashion style is inspired based on minimalism and elegancy as I believe in ‘Less is more’. During casual time, I would go for Baddie and streetwear style.

    I normally shop at H&M, Zara, Monki and even Cotton On. I don’t really prefer online shopping when it comes to buying clothes due its size inaccuracy. On the other hand, I love thrifting as well. Thrift fashion is basically sustainable and way more ethical.

    Studio Photoshoot

    Which is your preferred side to take selfies?

    I don’t normally take selfies, I am much of whole figure pics. But well probably from higher angles of selfies?

    Studio Photoshoot

    How do you like to spend your free time?

    I love to kill my free time with reading books. Mainly like self-improvement, self-love books. Sometimes, I would spend time reading articles in Thought Catalog.com. Besides, I would organize a self-photoshoot for myself as well!

    RTM Drama 2021

    If you could travel back in time, is there something you will like to experience or change?

    Well, I would love to redo my whole high-school experience. I was in MRSM, an elite boarding school that is science based. A lot of things is restricted and mostly conservative. I am forced to wear or do things that I am not used or even like at. I can’t really express myself to the finest. I don’t find anyone that is like-minded much neither.

    It was tough and challenging. I was getting pressure not just from peers but even academically. I ended up leaving the place and hopped to a new school. Some things I might have filtered here, overall, highschool was a traumatic experience for me. Basically the pain that I’ve gotten from there is the source I use to transform, glow up to where I am now.

    I would probably make it different by not going into boarding school, and enjoy my time on normal high-school.

    Gobox KL Photoshoot

    What 3 things do you love to do in the city you live in?

    The city I live in Nilai, Negeri Sembilan is known as Suburb. Balancy between city and nature. First thing I’ve always love to do is go hiking at Melati Hill. Second thing is going bowling at Nilai Sport Complex or simply heading to KLIA and watch planes take off/touch down. And sometimes, we would randomly take a short trip to Port Dickson beach and treating it like how KL people would spontaneously head to Genting Highland.

    McDonald Photoshoot

    On a scale of 1-10, how much of an outdoors person are you?

    Would say 10 ! I am definitely an outdoor person! I really enjoy hiking so much. At times when I would  go swimming. Plus, every evening I would head to my condominium garden and meditate. I would even go for walks during night time but for safety reasons, of course only in my residency compound.

    Telefilm shoot Perlis

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

    It isn’t much funny but more likely silly and creepy. Back then when I was on film shooting, this man faked his phone camera that it was faulty. He sought my help to take pictures of the crews and everyone. I naively agreed. Indeed, we exchange numbers because he asked me to sent all the pictures to him. So we did, and that’s where things got fishy. He started to text me things that I’m not comfortable like asking my status, asking me out.

    Bedroom Photoshoot

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

    For me, sexy is universal and subjective. It is not necessarily defined as showing so much skin or how society always standardizes it as seductive or obscenic. Intelligence is sexy, confidence is sexy, that Lamborgini Aventador that passes by is sexy, a gentleman in their Ralph Lauren suit is sexy! And there’s nothing sexier of an individual that dares to be themselves!

  • Actress & Host Gladys Bay

    Actress & Host Gladys Bay

    Hi, I’m Gladys, a bilingual presenter-host, actress, and voice over artist from Singapore. I also love to dance. I’m also really into self-care, mental health, and environmental friendliness.

    Was being an actress and host something you envisioned doing since you were a child?

    I never thought I could become an actress or a host, due to a lack of confidence but I did want to be one.

    Which is a memorable hosting experience you have had before?

    One of my most memorable hosting experiences would be hosting for the District Race back in 2019. It was one of the rare occasions I cohosted with someone else. He was flown in by the client from Australia and had so much energy. Vibing together with someone else and hosting the event was more enjoyable than usual.

    Is acting and being on camera a lot harder than most people think?

    I think to each their own. Some people find acting and being on camera uncomfortable, while some find socializing and making friends more difficult than being on camera. What is hard is different for everyone. But no job is easy, neither is acting.

    What are 3 fun things you like to do in the city you live in?

    I love chilling at the park/beach, sky gazing, and enjoying a good cup of hot chocolate at a nice café.

    Do you follow a beauty regime to looking so fabulous?

    I never thought “fabulous” would be a word to describe myself so thank you for that. My beauty regime is simple and often random. I make sure to never skip moisturizer, eye cream, and sunblock (in the day). Any other skincare I put on my face is probably something random I bought because the ingredient list looked good.

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

    If I could collaborate with anyone in the future, I’d probably want to act in a Chinese series with my favourite Chinese actors. I’m not too picky, Yang Min, Dilireba, Eleanor Lee, or Wang Yi Bo would do haha.

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

    This is a little of a pet peeve albeit pretty amusing. Amidst the endemic, we’re all masked up on the streets. I’m usually on the streets in a baggy t-shirt and jeans, shady cap and mask. Guys would still come up to me saying I’m cute, asking for my number. In my head, I really wonder what they saw. Was it my shoes or my elbow because I’m pretty darn sure they could not see anything else?  

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

    Confidence. Lots of it. But of course, without the arrogance.

  • New York Artist Cecilia Leigh Howard

    New York Artist Cecilia Leigh Howard

    Thank you for having me, I’m an actress, writer, model and activist living in Brooklyn, New York.

    How will you describe your fashion style and where do you shop from?

    My style is usually a result of my mood, sometimes casual, sometimes more sleek, I play with colors, shapes and sizes to change my look with accent pieces.

    What hobbies or favorite past times do you have?

    I read often, mostly books or articles, yoga, meditation, hula hooping, dancing, singing and I’m a huge fan of TV/Film, always ready for a binge watching session.

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

    Hmm, I think I take calculated risks, but most of my family would probably say a 10, I think like an 8.

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

    Haha! All the time, I’m a model and actress, we’re constantly put in looks or scenarios that we don’t find appealing, but it’s not really about you at the time, so it’s funny to see how our brains can change the situation for us through perception when it’s really just a hairstyle that I wouldn’t wear or a color I don’t think is flattering.

    Is there something in this world you can’t get enough of?

    Oh, definitely, clothes, food, music, movies, money or love, they seem to only expand one’s capacity to enjoy themselves and life itself.

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

    I’ve always wanted to meet Janis Joplin, her music is so soulful and she accomplished amazing things at a young age. I would ask her about my favorite songs and what Woodstock was really like.

    What do you not get about guys?

    Haha, this is a loaded question and I’ll keep it as simple as I can, I don’t understand why guys have this need to be liked by people they don’t like or feel so deeply that they need to impress strangers with their appearance or money. I believe it is for everyone, but men seem to be the most affected by it. It’s cool to like what you like and no one else has to agree. Stay strong, kings.

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

    Sexy is being comfortable in your own body, making others appreciate themselves and being able to know that appearances change, sexy is on the inside.

  • Surfer Girl Minnie Nato

    Surfer Girl Minnie Nato

    Pardon my language, but I call my fashion style “baby prostitute”. My friends and family constantly tell me how I wear baby clothes. Crop tops and shorts are my go to. And I’m not into expensive branded clothing. Most of my clothes are from the dearly beloved SHEIN.

    Do you have any fashion accessories that you cannot live without?

    Yes, a chain necklace. 

    Which 3 things do you enjoy doing most in the city you live in?

    I live in La Union. Which is a surf town. So I’m constantly surfing and if there are no waves, I skate. 

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

    100.

    If you could time travel, what will you like to witness?

    THE FUTURE!! Like thousands of years from now. I bet the world will be so much cooler.

    Would you rather have the power to speak to animals or control objects?

    Control objects. If I can understand animals, they might not be so cute anymore 😳.

    What do you not get about guys? 

    A lot. 

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

    Being kind!!! Man, for me personally nothing is hotter than someone being kind on a regular basis 😍.

  • Presenter, Model & Actress Giorgia Vecchini

    Presenter, Model & Actress Giorgia Vecchini

    I was born and raised in Vigasio, a little town in the outskirts of Verona, the city of Romeo And Juliet.

    My name is Giorgia Vecchini, and maybe you know me for my activity as a cosplayer, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg of my theater activity which extends also to being a voice talent for dubbing, audio recordings, theater and diction teaching, podcast, radio and everything you can think you could do with the voice.

    I’ve also been a singer in the Eurobeat scene, with two songs published in the Eurobeat collections.

    I’m a big expert of everything nerdy and pop about the 80s and I’m also a collector of things about anime, but not only, from the 80s and the 90s.

    I currently hold the Guiness World Record for the largest Creamy Mami memorabilia collection.

    How is your fashion style like and where do you draw your fashion inspiration from?

    Well, I think you could define my style as casual, and my inspiration comes mainly from the 80s for which I have an endless love encompassing every aspect of my life, including my attire.

    Of course what I draw from the 80s is what can be reinterpreted in the years we are living in, so no large shoulders, no too bright, fluo or glitter colors because I don’t want to look out of time, but there are elements I gladly pick and mix with modern ones. An example might be black leather leggings which I often pair with furry leg warmers and or a short skirt (a short skirt with leg warmers is one of the quintessential 80s looks).

    Another thing I really love is one shoulder tops.

    And then I like to throw my passion for anime, manga and pop culture (in a word, my nerd self) into the mix, wearing nerd themed T-shirts. I usually try to avoid the “loud” print of the character and I rather go for hidden references, writings, outlines, silhouettes, anything that brings the reference to the mind, instead of the “in your face” image.

    I think it’s more chic and I also like to tease the memory of those looking, because it’s not so immediately evident, but when they get there the effect is way better.

    And of course I try to keep up with the current trends. There are brands that I particularly love, one being for sure Denny Rose, which I’ve been following for quite a long time now and which manages to be both young and elegant while meeting my specific taste.

    How long have you been modeling and what genres do you specialize in?

    Well, I’ve been a cosplayer first, and that started in ‘97, so it has been more than 20 years now. Now although I’m slowly phasing out of the “playing” part, I’m still in the organization circle as artistic director, organizer and presenter for events.

    I’m still modeling only from time to time, because when I used to do that, the photo shootings were in some ways always related to cosplaying or wearing a particular attire, like a female Santa Claus, a Japanese kimono or even something I am not usually drawn to like the goth look or the fancy elegant dress.

    Nowadays I happen to have some modeling photo sessions, but they are more focused on trendy looks with the occasional shooting to advertise some nerdy T-shirts line.

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

    If we are leaving out the performance with which I won the World Cosplay Summit, I had a pretty memorable experience filming “Gamers”, a sit-com for Gamestop which aired in their retail points throughout Italy for a few years.

    I was this character that crashed the scene always to a comical effect.

    Another experience I remember fondly is “Base Luna” (“Moon Base”), a late night show for the Italian national TV RAI, for which I interpreted the waitress of the space restaurant that was the main setting of the show.

    It was a very versatile character that allowed me to wear a lot of different costumes in a wide array of situations ranging from a parody of the TV miniseries Romanzo Criminale to the bored, underpaid waitress, so it was really interesting to be there.

    With so many interests and projects you have, how is a typical day like for yourself?

    This is a very difficult question, because I really don’t have a typical day or a routine.

    There are some periods of the year that go some ways and others are completely different.

    During the lockdown, for example, I found myself doing something I had never thought I could, like being a teacher which of course led to a very different lifestyle from when I’m getting ready for an event or when I’m writing texts for a theater play or for one of the magazines I write for.

    A period like this, for example is heavily focused on loads and loads of e-mails sent to various organizations to get ready for the next season of cosplay events that is going to start in September.

    I might not look so, but an event extends far beyond the two or three days of the stage time, and everything has to be set well in advance to be ready at the right time.

    The “get on stage” period is quite different, since I might go somewhere for two or three days for an avent, come back for just one day and then set off for another round somewhere else.

    This frantic routine can go on for months.

    Do you miss cosplaying now that you don’t do it anymore?

    No, not really.

    First of all, I’m still in the loop as a presenter/organizer/expert, and secondly, the current state of the cosplay scene doesn’t reflect who I am and my approach to cosplay, so I don’t feel represented by the current protagonists of the scene.

    The only regret I have is that I’m having a hard time separating my two personas, Giorgia Vecchini and Giorgiacosplay.

    Despite not using my stage name any more, despite not wearing cosplays at events and gatherings and despite the fact that when I’m there I’m no longer there as a performer, but as a presenter or sometimes as an expert for panels, it is very difficult to get rid of the Giorgiacosplay overlay.

    Maybe I’ve been Giorgiacosplay for so long that everybody remember me with that name.

    I don’t want to recant the Giorgiacosplay phase, but I feel there’s so much more I can give and that is pushing to come out after living so many years in the shadows.

    I hope, with time, to be able to convey this.

    If you could time travel, what will you like to witness or experience?

    Wow, this is a though one.

    If I’m just a spectator, I think I would like to witness the asteroid impact that led to the extinction of the dinosaurs.

    It must have been a blast.

    What do you not get about the opposite sex?

    There may be a lot of things, but on top of my head, I think I don’t get how they could ever find beautiful or attractive a woman who just woke up, with all her hair all over the place and a look that to me resembles Linda Blair in The Exorcist.

    That will always be my “other great mystery of the universe” as Doc Brown would say.

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

    If you are asking what I define sexy in someone else, well it’s an ensemble of qualities, not necessarily all physical, that somehow can get me involved.

    Something along the teachings of Prince Akeem in Coming to America, when he said “I want a woman who will arouse my intellect as well as my loins.”

    I have to be able to feel the affinity and the mutual discovery and the curiosity for each other, even despite different interests.

    And the voice. Nothing beats a well structured, even a bit hoarse.

    But sometimes, being sexy is something you don’t even realize and is made of many little unconscious details.

    And let’s not forget that all this is personal: things that are sexy for someone can be the opposite for someone else. It’s all very relative.

  • Actress, Dancer & Model Ahlex Leyva

    Actress, Dancer & Model Ahlex Leyva

    I’m Ahlex Leyva, a performing artist residing in Manila, Philippines. I’m a stage and film actress; a dancer and aerialist. I am also a nude art model and I’m an advocate of an anti-colorism movement called “Galaw Morena”.

    What inspired you to go into acting and modeling?

    It is my long time dream to become an actress and a model. This is something I cannot fully explain. Whenever someone asks me what inspires me or why I pursue Performing Arts, I ended up saying “I do it ‘coz it makes me alive”.

    Which is a memorable acting or modeling experience you have had so far?

    My most memorable acting experience is probably the one where I am portraying a dual role. One is the protagonist and one is her doppelganger. Everytime I do the scenes of the doppelganger they are covering my face with a faceless mask to make me look scary. And so I had to act with only two and a half senses. I cannot see, I cannot speak and I can only breathe from the small hole on the mask.

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

    Oh, I am a frustrated singer. Hahahaha! I wish I had those triple threat talents: acting, dancing and singing. So I can finally audition on Broadway and maybe perform in NYC. But yeah, singing is not a God-given talent to me. I think I can learn it someday when time permits.

    What food or cuisine do you enjoy most?

    I like Asian food. I love all kinds of noodles (hot, cold, dry, etc.) I also like seafood and vegetables. I have an addiction to coffee.

    If you could be a superhero or villain, who will you be?

    Well, I do not know a lot of superhero or villain characters. But my initial thought is that maybe I can be Wonder Woman. I would like to be an Amazonian.

    Would you rather stay in or go out for a date?

    Oh, I love going out. It does not need to be an expensive date but I like walking and going to places I’d never been before. I also like museum dates. Hopefully, this pandemic will end soon so we can go out and travel again.

    What exciting projects do you have lined up that your fans can look forward to seeing?

    Right now, most of my projects will be streamed online. You know, theaters are closed and even dance studios cannot operate well. I do hope you can follow my social media accounts and subscribe to my channel to see my latest works.

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

    Sexy is more than just the body. It is how you carry yourself every day. It is how you embrace your flaws and flaunt your beauty. Sexy is an attitude towards life. We can all be sexy on our own terms.

  • Japanese Actress Nayu Matsubara

    Japanese Actress Nayu Matsubara

    I usually try to get as much inspiration as possible by looking at many different things. I don’t have a favorite brand, once I’m interested, I try any brand. I also like brands like Zara and Bershka. This spring, I bought a blue tweed jacket. I like to mix casual styles with a bag from a brand, and I try to stay true to myself.

    A bag I bought recently from Tory Burch is embroidered with this yellow bird. It seemed so spring like and made me feel happy just by looking at it so I just bought it! I love animals or styles that are soothing.

    There was also this collab of Gucci and Doraemon (famous Japanese anime character). I got myself a scarf and a wallet and many other items.

    Until recently, I would think, what would people think of how I look? Or does it actually suit me? But then I realized that styles that make me feel comfortable and happy are the ones that suit me. So recently I care about what I really like, and now I really enjoy fashion. My favorite color is light blue. It has a transparency and is blue like the ocean.

    Do you have any hobbies or interests?

    I like everything that has to do with cosmetics. I tried out so many different types of brands, from high fashion to casual styles!

    I think the Canadian brand The Ordinary is pretty good. It’s super cheap, and I was surprised how good it was! Among the ones with antioxidants I can totally recommend EUK. For facial care, stem cell facial rejuvenation therapy is my Go-To. Recently, I’ve been working as a nurse for a clinic with stem cell facial rejuvenation therapy and after using it I could feel my face becoming younger. All the dirt disappeared and my skin felt enriched.

    Other than that, I love going to cities near the sea where I can go diving or surfing or fishing. I love beautiful and relaxing activities.

    Which is the best compliment you have received?

    One passerby once told me that I will probably become very happy, because I have a happy vibe. Friends told me the same, too. I have my problem, too, I was probably born with a happy vibe. In Buddhism it says, that life is something like a lesson. Life is not easy, the more it’s important to be put in some positive energy, I think. If everything is a lesson, maybe we should be as cheerful as possible. That mindset is important, I think.

    What are 3 fun sights you recommend to tourists to take in when visiting your city?

    Hmm, never thought about that…

    If you want to get some delicious food, try out the site Taberogu. Any place listed above 3.5 out of 5 points is always not too bad, reservations of places above 4 are usually hard to get, but you can still try.

    If you are want to experience somewhere with glamor, Ikyu might be the site to look at.

    My friend has a vlog about cheap but delicious restaurants, please check it out!

    Which are your favorite quotes or mottos you like to use for inspiration?

    Live as if you were to die tomorrow,  learn as if you were to live forever.

    Would you rather have the power to control objects or animals?

    Maybe animals. But rather I would like them to be my friend than to control them.

    What turns you off on a date?

    Bad table manners. People looking constantly on their phones. And I simply don’t consider people as a potential partner, if I don’t have fun with them. Doesn’t matter how great they are, I need to have fun with them. 

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

    Pure intentions and elegance and empathy are elements I find sexy. If a person with those traits would me, I’d immediately fall in love.

  • Actress, Singer & Model Lindsey Bean

    Actress, Singer & Model Lindsey Bean

    Thank you so much for featuring me! Well to start off I’m an actress, singer, and model from Southern California. I started getting into the entertainment industry when I turned 18. 

    How did you get started into performing and being a model?

    I’ve always wanted to be a performer but I was told to wait until I was 18. So once I turned 18, I looked up some YouTube videos about how to get into acting and modeling and drove up to LA for auditions. I just kind of threw myself in head first. 

    Which is a memorable or unforgettable experience on camera you have had that you can share with us?

    I was shooting a photography book and I had a heavy wig on as well as multiple layers of clothing on a hot summer day in Los Angeles. I started to feel slightly dizzy but thought I was just tired so I kept going. Next thing I knew I was on the floor with people looking over me handing me a cold water bottle. Apparently, I’m prone to fainting haha. 

    What is the best compliment you have received?

    One time I was doing some bikini shoots in a hot tub at an apartment complex at night and a little girl who couldn’t have been more than 7 or 8 years old came over and told me I looked beautiful. I probably blushed more than I had in my life at that moment. 

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

    There are so many people I would love to collaborate with but the first that comes to mind is Vampira. She was a horror icon back in the day. I just loved her overall look and aesthetic. 

    On a scale of 1-10, how much of an adrenaline junkie are you?

    Probably a 1. I get so anxious I can’t even imagine bungee jumping for “fun”. 

    Would you rather have the power to control objects or animals?

    I would love to have the power to control objects if we’re talking telekinesis. Do you know how easy it would be if I never had to get up to get the remote anymore? 

    What turns you off on a date?

    If a guy talks too much about himself. Confidence is great but there’s a fine line between confidence and arrogance. If he only brings up his accomplishments and doesn’t ask about my own, I’m not interested in continuing the conversation. 

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

    I’d have to say sexy is definitely a state of mind and overall energy. I find people of all shapes and sizes sexy. It comes down to how you present yourself and how you feel about your own sexiness that makes you sexy.

  • Actress, Model & Singer Sabina Mach

    Actress, Model & Singer Sabina Mach

    SimplySxy catches up with rising star Sabina Mach, who has worked with renowned names such as Steven Seagal, Elijah Wood and Post Malone. Read on to learn more and get to know her better!

    When and how did you decide to be an actress? 

    I started out as a gymnast on an Olympic Gymnastics team which required 10-hour training days after school, and along came my first photoshoots. If you asked a 5-year-old me where I am from, I would say Disneyland; I love that place and spent a lot of time there as a kid, singing and pretending to be a Disney princess. That is how my acting career started.

    I performed a lot in kindergarten and sang at all the school parties. I would cry to a sad song or dance to a happy one. In high school, when we lived in London, I performed in the theatre with my mom. The movies like “The Blue Lagoon”, “Endless Love” or “Splendor in the Grass” inspired me. A love story that made me “happy cry”.

    As a child, I thought I was witnessing someone’s real life, I didn’t know acting was an actual job. Little did I know that I, too, could make movies one day. 

    What is the most challenging incident that happened to you on set? And how did you deal with it?

    When you are starting out, everyone is always psyching you out, how hard it is and how prepared you need to be. So, I’ve always over prepared to the point of knowing everyone’s lines and have researched every little detail for projects. Imagine my disbelief and shock when I’ve seen unprepared actors, who have been in the business for years, having the time of their lives not even touching the script before they came to set.

    And at the same it was the most challenging, I had to lead a bunch of adult, veteran actors through the scenes. I love being in front of the camera and giving different takes, and ways to play the same scene, finding the deep meaning below the surface of the text. And it is very challenging when you want to show more, but you get two takes and you are done, because I always come prepared, like a two take wonder. While the struggling on set actors get a million takes and waste everyone’s time because they are seasoned yet unprepared. 

    What is the best compliment you have received regarding your work, performance?

    I might not show it, but compliments mean a lot to me, it makes me stronger. And even a small remark inspires me to work so much harder. If you just ask me, I’ll take your suggestion and will make it happen.

    I’ve done my own stunts for the projects, and after getting a trauma on set, I powered through it. I finished up filming the stunt scenes and the rest of the project. I want to do everything myself, because I believe with the power and desire to learn something, we can do most things ourselves. Nothing more exciting than learning new or mastering an old skill. Parts where extra training before filming is required are my favorite. I’m fearless. The nicest compliment I got despite being around seasoned actors who’ve been in the business for over 30+ years – among them all I owned the scene and stood out the most, making the scene mine. 

    Do you have any hobbies or interests?

    Yes I love animals.  What I’m known for is interacting with wild animals. From a fox, to bears, to swans, to bulls, wolves, owls and many more 🙂 

    I have five yorkies, and I love anything athletic. Tennis, soccer, swimming, rock climbing, volleyball. All sports. 

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

    I want to write a song with Post Malone, the Weekend and Skrillex. 

    Would you rather have the ability to control objects or teleport?

    The ability to control time. 

    What do you not get about guys?

    Everything. Especially when they pretend like they want to help, you tell them and they switch the subject. The intrusive questions I get asked by old man. The fact that they have no shame, I wish I had that boldness to. (But not really) 

    I don’t get girls either. 

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

    Sexy is when you wake up, feeling on top of the world, and no matter what you wear you just have THE feeling because you finally love yourself and not what others say or compliment you on.
