    Danish Blogger & Influencer Mathilde Ravn

    What is your fashion style like?

    I highly prefer to mix the trends into a street kind of style. I love how you can mix a cute dress with a pair of sneaks, angle-high socks and a leather jacket and that way turn it into a more casual not so girly look. If I should describe my “go to” outfit it would be my Saint Laurent t-shirt, a pair of jeans, biker-boots and a leather jacket mixed with some jewellery.

    Are there any favorite quotes or mottos you like to use in life?

    When I’m really upset about anything I always ask myself if I can do anything about it and if not, then I should let it go. Also I like to live by the quote “you can do anything if you put your mind to it” – no dreams are too big for this beautiful world.

    Do you have a beauty or fitness regime that you follow strictly?

    Beauty wise I’m not really the right person to ask haha. I hardly ever use make.up cause my skin is so sensitive and also I really like the natural look as I think it’s very important for all of us to appreciate our natural face look.

    My fitness regime is not as strictly as it has been as it took a hold on me that was not healthy. So right now I’m leaning to work-out as my body likes it and not forcing myself to a too hard regime. I do love to work-out as it makes my mind feel good and my body stronger so I’m still working out 5 times a week but now I try to be better at not working out when my body feels tired.

    How do you like to spend your free time?

    My favorite place to be if I’m all free is at the beach with my dog. It’s such a calm place and I know nothing better than the sound of crushing waves. Besides that, I spend a lot of my free time on cafés drinking coffee with my friends haha.

    Can you describe a typical day like for yourself?

    I mostly wake up at 6-7am starting off with my breakfast before I head to work at 8. When I’m off work around 3-4pm I often go out with some friends, getting some pictures for my blog and Instagram and then start working on that when I get home.

    After this I mostly go to the gym to sweat out the day and to get a good nights sleep. I spend most of my nights doing blog-work or planning my next trip for traveling. I like to be very coordinated so I also spend a lot of time on getting everything prepared for my next “move” in life.

    Is there anyone past or present that you like to meet with if given the opportunity?

    My biggest idol will forever be Justin Bieber, I’ve already met him a few times now but if I was give the opportunity it would still be my biggest wish to meet him again.

    What do you not get about guys?

    I really don’t get how soooo many guys can live so unstructured. Like how can you not know what you’re doing in 10 minutes?? Also I don’t get how they don’t get girls haha.

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

    “Sexy” is for me a definition of a lady who exudes a very comfortable, classy and an absolute “in control of herself” attitude. It is the way of carrying yourself that makes you sexy, in my opinion.

  • Model, Influencer & Fashion Blogger Selene Meneguin

    Model, Influencer & Fashion Blogger Selene Meneguin

    How did you get into modeling?

    Accompanied a friend to a casting and was select. From there, started with modeling and TV. My experience is catalog, sports, events, glamor, lingerie, model, promotional, advertising, host on TV. I like to work as a model because it gives me many rewards and recognition.

    In the course of my career I met important, recognized people who opened doors for me on TV. Three years ago I began to work professionally as a fashion blogger, influencer. I work with international brands from USA, Australia, Italy and others. I am very happy with that project and I am very dedicated to that now.

    Do you have a favorite or memorable photoshoot experience to share?

    When I started I did a campaign for energy drinks, I got very nervous to the set but then I let go because the work environment was very cool and as we were 15 girls it was very fun, and that day I had a great time and I made many friends. It is very good when the work is fun and enjoyable.

    Are there any favorite quotes you have that you use in life?

    Yes definitely … (There is no substitute for hard work. Never give up. Never stop believing. Never stop fighting)

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

    3,  I’m not much into parties. I’m more into sports, and travels.

    If you could a superpower, what will it be and why?

    Without hesitation, to read minds, haha, who would not like to know what others are thinking?! But obviously only for a short period.

    How do you like to spend your weekends?

    I try to take advantage of that free time to spend with my friends and family. Since in the week I am very busy. I like to go to the movies, eat out, go for a drink. But always starting the morning at the gym.

    What turns you off on a date?

    A boring man who has no subject of conversation. That he does not strive to look elegant, and neat. 

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

    Being sexy is insinuation. Creating attention to the others without having to undress, catching looks without being so exposed.

  • Los Angeles Model & Blogger Sandy Cheeks

    Los Angeles Model & Blogger Sandy Cheeks

    Hi there! My name is Sandy! I am full Taiwanese and have been living in sunny California almost all of my life! I do modeling for fun on the side that I share on my Instagram page. I’m based in LA and would love to meet more of you out here who love photography, fashion, food, blogging, or just about anything!

    What is your proudest achievement so far?

    I think graduating University is definitely up there! I’m also almost done with grad courses too! It just feels so surreal to be done with school and it excites me to see what the future has in store for me!

    Which is the best compliment you have received?

    I’d have to say, “You’re so funny!”

    Most of the time I’m laughing at my own jokes or just at myself in general. It’s great when someone else thinks I’m funny instead! Heheh

    How is your beauty regime like?

    My beauty regime is very simple. I get out of bed (eventually), brush, change, throw on some eyeshadow and eyeliner, and I should be out the door in 10! I hate doing my own makeup and I’m terrible at it. I wish I could just wake up to someone who could put on my face for me every morning. What a dream!

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

    I can’t get enough of life in general. I learn something new every single day and everything amazes me. It warms my heart, for example, to see genuine, caring, and selfless people out there in the world trying to lend a helping hand and making a difference. Although the world gets ugly, I am touched by the amount of love that is still around.

    If you could be a cartoon character, who will you be?

    That’s easy! I’d definitely be Anna from Frozen because Kristoff is my Disney prince.

    How much of a movie buff are you?

    Definitely not at all. It’s hard for me to keep up with all the hottest news on celebrities, and nine times out of ten I probably won’t know or at least haven’t fully seen the movie you ask me about. I prefer spending my time binge-watching TV series on Netflix as an alternative.

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

    I was on campus in the middle of a phone call and a guy walks up to me and says, “Hey! I follow you on Instagram!” Stunned, I replied, “Oh really? What’s my name?” He thought for a bit and guessed, “A…Ashley??… Ok honestly I don’t know I was just joking but you’re really cute and I wanted to come say hi.”

    Hahah what a funny guy, I guess that was a pretty good one thinking back now!

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

    Sexy to me is about confidence, not cockiness. An individual’s personality and humor defines their “sexy” as well. I think a strong, independent, and confident person with a big, warm heart is sexy to me.

  • Multi-Talented Entrepreneur, Blogger & Writer, Chessica Mirasol

    Multi-Talented Entrepreneur, Blogger & Writer, Chessica Mirasol

    I am jack of all trades – I am a beauty and lifestyle blogger from Manila, entrepreneur/owner of Paradigm Skin, beauty editor and writer at Beauty Insider Singapore, executive assistant to a Consul General based in Melbourne, Australia.

    What is your proudest achievement so far?

    I don’t believe in having one single achievement in life. There are so many great things an individual can do over his lifetime and it is impossible to just pick one. The feeling of being proud over an accomplishment changes over time, I believe. There’s always new set of goals to reach!

    At this point in my life, though, I would say having finished a double major degree, having built a career apart from my family’s businesses, and having moved out without any financial support but my own, and having curated Paradigm Skin together with my few trusted friends are some pretty big accomplishments for me.

    How is a typical day like for yourself to juggle everything you do?

    My day is just like any other young professionals’. A big chunk of day is allotted for work, the rest are allotted for my personal and social wellbeing, like painting, writing, indulging myself to a pampering bathe and skincare routine.

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

    There are a lot I can’t get enough of – writing, painting, skincare, and FOOD!

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

    I would say I’m a 9. I’m pretty adventurous. I enjoy discovering new dishes!

    What quotes or mottos do you like to use?

    “Semper Ad Meliora”… I’ve always had this Latin phrase stuck in my head. It means “always on to better things”. I don’t use it on a daily basis but it has always been in my mind. In fact, I am having it tattooed on my skin very soon!

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

    I would choose someone in the present! Do not wish to meet people in the past, they have nothing new to bring. Haha!

    It would be Oprah for me. Her advocacies are mine too. It would be great to learn from her!

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

    DMs. In this day and age, men have become unacceptably lazy and lousy. They think sliding through women’s DMs are cute and cool. It’s not. Whatever happened to chivalry?

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

    Sexy isn’t always about one’s size or looks. To me, it has always been about the mind and personality. Is the person still attractive when he speaks? Can he keep a good conversation? Does he make sense? Is he confident and not boastful? It’s a state of mind, how you carry yourself and most importantly, how you treat others.

  • Influencer & Lifestyle Blogger Jinny Ann

    Influencer & Lifestyle Blogger Jinny Ann

    Hello! Super stoked to be featuring on here! 🙂 I’m a graduating college student, building my online influence as I try to show my everyday life. I’m not sure if I can call myself a lifestyle blogger yet, but that’s what I’ve been trying to do.  As a graduating senior, I’m in that weird phase where I kinda know what I want to do, but not too sure either. One thing’s for certain, I’m a dreamer! Also, I’ve lived in Los Angeles my whole life, but I was born in Korea and moved to the states when I was three!

    What hobbies and interests do you have?

    My interests are all over the place. For one, I love photography and videography! That’s where my Instagram and YouTube come in! I love fashion, beauty, and all that girly stuff. Contrasting that, I’m passionate in political stuff (I graduated with a political science degree), I want to make this world a better place!! Other hobbies include: watching basketball, reading, painting, finding some new remixes on Soundcloud. Oh and hanging out with friends!  Yeah, I’m pretty scatterbrained.

    What is your secret to looking so gorgeous?

    Aww thank you! Hmm, I would say being confident and trying to be stress free is the most important thing, Confidence makes a girl. But, having a super dedicated skin care regime, following up on fashion trends, and regular exercise!

    Is there any food or drink you don’t take?

    I eat and drink everything but two things! I HATE KETCHUP and imitation crab meat. (Capitalized to show which one I hate the most) Other than that, I’m not a picky eater!

    Do you believe in any superstition?

    Yes, growing up in a Korean household, I believe in many superstitions! (Haha) Shaking your legs shakes away your luck, your bed has to be facing in the North direction, no mirrors in the front of the doors, don’t step on cracks, etc… It’s honestly hard to keep up with the amount of superstitions Korean or even all Asian people have.

    Can you describe a typical day like for yourself?

    My days will be changing rapidly in the next month as I’m finally graduating college! But for now, I wake up, grab some food to go, go to school, study, and either go take photos or make videos when it’s still bright out. Then, dinner at home or with some friends and study some more, or chill and YouTube.

    Are you more of a lingerie or bikini babe?

    Probably changes from week to week, so I can’t give you an answer haha! I love both equally, especially cause lingerie can be used as a bikini and vice versa!

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

    I have so much! Other than the unsolicited photos, in freshman year I remember going to a frat party and some random guy came up to me and started asking me what my bucket list was. I shared some stuff I wanted to do before I die, and he starts telling me how he knows how to get up some tall building on campus and how he wants to have sex up there. THEN PROCEEDS TO ASK ME IF I WOULD VOLUNTEER TO HAVE SEX WITH HIM AS PART OF HIS BUCKET LIST. I just started laughing  and walked away.

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

    Sexy is confidence. Sexy is believing in yourself.

  • Fashion Blogger, Artist & Singer Annie Lolla

    Fashion Blogger, Artist & Singer Annie Lolla

    Hello, the pleasure is all mine! My name is Anna, but on social media everyone knows me as Annie Lolla! I am an artistic soul and I enjoy doing things that make my soul happy.

    I sing, draw, do makeup (sometimes even professionally), and work in the video industry. I am obsessed with fashion and everything related to beauty. I was born in Serbia, but I have spent some years growing up in Greece. I speak seven languages, and currently learning the eighth, and it seems I can’t stop!

    Cooking has become one of my obsessions in the past few years, and I love to make new recipes for friends or family. If you’d guys like I’ll bake you some cookies

    I have a cat, he is very cuddly and cute. I enjoy reading books and watching horror movies.

    What is your fashion style like?

    My fashion style is actually very diverse; most of the time I enjoy wearing casual clothes, street style kind. Vans, jeans, a plain T-shirt and some cool bomber jacket. But there are days where I have the need to be absolutely girlie and cute and then I pull out my more “stylish” outfits. I rarely wear heels because I am too tall in them, but I must admit I own like 12 pairs of heel shoes/sandals (I am a girl after all, I can’t help it haha).

    I do not necessarily like to follow trends, for me it’s more what I enjoy wearing and styling and what I find interesting for my own stylish expression.

    The only thing I would never wear is real fur.

    Which makeup accessories should every lady own?

    Ladies, pay attention and memorize this important fact:

    Less is more!

    I hate when my makeup looks cakey, so I always tend to apply my makeup as light as possible, even if it’s for special occasions.

    And as it comes to makeup accessories every lady should own, I would have to say eyebrow pencil, highlighter (I love a good highlight on the cheekbones), concealer, bronzer or blush and some good mascara. That is all a woman needs to accentuate her own beauty.

    As a makeup artist I advise women and especially young girls not to use too much makeup, and to pay attention to their skin first. Always use SPF to protect your skin from aging prematurely.

    Do you have any other hobbies?

    I do! I keep adding more and more hobbies to my life because I believe they stimulate the brain. I sing, edit videos, exercise, learn languages and recently I have been wanting to try doing pottery. I think it will be fun, I can’t wait!

    Is there a drink you can’t live without?

    Just plain ol’ water. I drink tons of it everyday to hydrate my body. I also love authentic Japanese matcha tea.

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

    I would want to learn to be more forgiving with myself and let myself make mistakes, because it is the best way to learn things in life. Learn that if something fails it’s not the end of the world, and I should just keep going and fight for what I believe. I need to learn to rely only on myself and to trust only me.

    What flavor best describes you?

    Matcha green tea or pistachios.

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

    I will not mention any lame attempts because they occur too often and are just cringy. But the funniest was probably when one guy tried to teach me some martial arts skills just so he could kiss me.

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

    Thank you for having me, it was a pleasure chatting with you! I would have to say I define sexy like this:

    If a person is confident in their own skin, if they like to laugh and make jokes, if they are professionals in their work, if they are true friends, if they are compassionate, if they want to make the world a better place – that person is sexy to me.

  • Beauty, Style & Fashion Blogger Danielle Maiale

    Beauty, Style & Fashion Blogger Danielle Maiale

    I first began this blog as a way to share with everyone my own personal style and fashion, beauty tips and tricks, and of course my travel adventures, wherever that may be next! I hope my Instagram as well as my personal blog can serve as a platform to inspire new ideas as you follow along with me in my exciting new journey!

    Is there a particular fashion style you are attracted to?

    Honestly, that’s a tough question! I wouldn’t necessarily say I have one style, but I have found myself right now loving the bright colors and patterns for summer. I am always a sucker when it comes to two-piece ensembles or flowy dresses because it is not only practical for daytime or nighttime, but they can be super comfortable!

    Do you have a strict beauty regime you follow?

    Yes! Every night I have to wash my face (any Neutrogena scrub), but after I love to use Kiehl’s products. Their products just work wonders for my skin. I can’t live without the Cucumber Eye Cream and the Midnight Recovery Concentrate. Those two products are a perfect way to hydrate the skin overnight!

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

    10….Can I push that to a 100? There really isn’t anything I won’t try! Not to mention, everything I eat I usually post on Instagram (I mean who doesn’t) LOL!

    Is there something you’ve always wanted to do but don’t have the time?

    I have always wanted to hike the Grand Canyon! Many people don’t know that I love to be outdoors and trying new activities, so this is just one of many adventures that I would love to do!

    If you could travel to any part of the world for an experience, where will it be?

    I would love to travel to Greece in the upcoming months! I have just been super busy and have not found the time to book anything yet, hopefully soon though. From the picturesque sceneries to the food, I may fall in love and just never return back to Philly!

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

    Definitely the DM’s. Some of them can be sweet, but most of the time they are borderline creepy!

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

    Simple, confidence. There is nothing more sexy or empowering than just being confident in your own skin. Do what makes you happy, and if people want to judge, let them!

  • Liz Dumdum, The Style Diplomat

    Liz Dumdum, The Style Diplomat

    Hi SimplySxy! Thank you so much for featuring me! It’s really a pleasure! I’m from the Philippines but I’m currently based in New York to pursue graduate school.

    Where did the inspiration to start your website come from?

    While I was in college, my friends would always push me to create a blog and I would always find an excuse not to make one because of school. After I graduated in 2013, I found myself not doing anything substantial and I realized I was ready to commit to making one and that’s where my blog – The Style Diplomat – started.

    How will you describe your fashion style?

    My taste in music is the same as my style in fashion – very versatile. I can go from very feminine to athleisure (or to a mix of both) to boyish. It all depends on my mood!

    Which fashion accessories are a must have in your collection?

    Stacked necklaces, a watch and a bag!

    Is there a memorable travel experience you can share with us?

    My most memorable travel experience up to date was my first time in Amsterdam last December 2017. I traveled with my best friend who lives in Paris. He slipped on ice and he broke his ankle! We were only there for the whole day so we spent the whole day at the hospital. He felt bad for me spending my first Amsterdam trip in a hospital so he told me to explore for a few hours and so I did. We took the train back to Paris in the afternoon.

    Are you more of a morning person or night owl?

    I’ve always been a nocturnal person.

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

    Reality warping!

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

    I wouldn’t think it was lame. I found it funny in a way that one guy tried to bribe my friends to join for dinner so I wouldn’t have any choice but to go with him! Haha!

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

    I define sexy as things that are considered to be “underrated” in this over-hyped social media world. Intelligence is sexy. Vulnerability is sexy. A real conversation is sexy.

  • Blogger, Model & Influencer Minori Kawachi

    Blogger, Model & Influencer Minori Kawachi

    Thank you so much for featuring me!  So my name is Minori Kawachi and I am a Japanese-American born in Honolulu, Hawaii.  I currently live in New York, studying Advertising and Marketing Communications at the Fashion Institute of Technology.

    How will you describe your fashion style?

    Honestly, I have so many different styles that I would just say that my style basically depends on my mood.  One day I would feel sporty/street style/tomboy and another day I would feel girly.  But most days I dress up casual and basic such as a cropped tank top and high waisted jeans with some boots or sneakers.

    Which beauty products are a must have in your collection?

    One of my favorites is the Maybelline Stiletto Liquid Eyeliner!  In my opinion, it’s the easiest eyeliner to get a winged liner.  Plus, the color is the blackest black which I love!

    Do you have any guilty pleasures for food?

    OMG…yes! I have so many but my ultimate favorite is the Flamin’ Hot Cheetos.

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

    Oh for sure.  One time I was walking with my mom and I thought one girl waved at me (a stranger) and so I waved back thinking that she knew me from somewhere I knew her and ends up she was waving at the person behind me!  They were laughing and I felt so embarrassed!

    If you had the opportunity to learn anything in this world, what will it be?

    I would love to learn about different cultures all over the world!  I would actually travel to different countries and meet up with the locals to learn their culture and lifestyle.  That would be amazing!

    Which reality TV show best suits your skills to win it?

    One of my favorite reality TV show would be Keeping Up With The Kardashians. I know, don’t hate me but I just love how everyone just sticks together, solve problems and be loyal and honest to each other.  I think it’s one of the best things to do to get along with people whether friends, strangers or business.

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

    One guy asked me to become his personal ‘pet’ and that he would pay me to live abroad with him because he was in the military.  It was more creepy than funny or lame.  But most guys would just send me puns or jokes haha.

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

    Sexy is when one is fully confident about him or herself and they do not care what others think of them.  Wear what you want, do your makeup however you want and feel confident!

  • Blogger & Vegan Kiyoko Osone

    Blogger & Vegan Kiyoko Osone

    Hi there! Thank you so much for featuring me on your platform! It is a pleasure to speak with you. My readers span from Tokyo to L.A., and they tend to be professionally-minded millennials of both genders interested in finance. The latter part of the question is rather fragmented– my parents had me much younger, and I grew up in Houston, Texas where my dad was in residency for medical school. I later relocated to Sacramento, and finished my schooling in Los Angeles.

    What is the inspiration behind starting your blog?

    I simply loved writing, sharing my life, thoughts and ideas. I wanted to empower individuals to realize the economic implications of their choices, and to provide a resource that can help educate them; in undergraduate I was always that kid in the lecture hall that would challenge my professors and had no fear of public speaking as I presented to classrooms; blogging is a means of dispersing ideas to a multitude of individuals, albeit in a less interpersonal way. I wanted individuals to realize that blogging isn’t always just about being a pretty face but curating content that surrounds what you enjoy.

    How will you describe your fashion style?

    My fashion sense depends on my mood. It is both feminine and edgy; I don’t believe those two are always mutually exclusive.  Mostly, I wear vintage knits, which range from ripped sweaters to nit cables for semi-casual meetings, to full blown tailored suits.

    Which common misconceptions about vegans do you usually hear?

    The purview of veganism is a broad spectrum, constituting individuals whom are plant-based for health reasons which I fully support to individuals like myself that do it for animal and ethical reasons. A great deal of vegans, especially ones that are more vociferate and radical hate on those that fail to abscond from animal products. When I began my journey and joined this cohort, I did so too, mindlessly before realizing that I was treating animals better than human beings, failing to acknowledge that we as mankind are part of the animal family as well.

    For me, veganism is a lifestyle and a personal choice. While I do have a few small second-hand goods and leather products before I became vegan and donated most, I still gift perfectly new completely leather items I receive as a means of respect and not wasting it.

    I understand that veganism is simply one way or mode of thought that can co-exist with others that ethically eat, such as those that are vegetarians and buy cage-free eggs, to “ethical” meat eaters. In Japan, there are shrines of animals that are sacrificed and they are appreciated wholly as one in guilt takes their life sustenance for our own.

    Do you have any hobbies?

    I love cooking, and I love all modes of art.  I am such a bad feminist, but I absolutely enjoy living in the kitchen.

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

    I want to write a book, but I have yet to know what of to write one of. I enjoy the escapades of romance novels, but no one actually needs, another one. I might still try, one of these days.

    Would you rather have the superpower of invisibility or mind reading?

    Mind reading!

    Funniest or lamest attempt a guy has tried to know you?

    He was a physician and offered to be my photographer. “Glamour photography” he said. I never met up with him again.

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

    Sexy is being free to be yourself. Like the sinoidal S curve that multiplies in integrations of area, sexy encompasses a large breadth of individuals, and is fluid like the river of water.

    Being a hot housewife that owns it is sexy. Being a man that wears makeup that owns it is sexy. Being a bossbabe, and wearing size 14 because you are yourself, is sexy. It is not what is defined by anyone else, but you.
