I love making friends and I’m a very organized person.
What inspires your fashion style and which are your favorite brands to shop from?
Actually, years ago, I was so confused about my fashion style. Like, I am pressuring myself to have a certain style but I really can’t! Therefore, I acknowledge my style depends on my mood! But dainty and neutral themes are my favorite styles inspired by Ms. Kathryn Bernardo. I love thrift and online shopping though! But some of my favorite big shops are H&M, Forever21, Uniqlo and GAP. In terms of beauty, I really love to shop from Happy Skin, Issy and Co, Ellana Minerals! I am open to exploring new brands to shop from which cares for my style, health, skin and for the environment.

What turns you off on a date?
Hmmmm… If a man can’t keep up in a conversation with me, like, he’s keeping the talk so dull and dry, that’s a turn off. Also, if he’s arrogant.
Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions TJ. One question before we end, how do you define “sexy”?
You’re welcome! Being sexy is having the sense of bravery and practicing the beauty of courage
Thank you so much for this feature! You can know more about me by following me on my socials!
I love dressing up! My sense of style when it comes to fashion is one of the aspects of my life that I am truly confident and proud of. I must say that my style evolved throughout the years. Right now, I dress up after comfort, and with many fashion trends nowadays, I tend to explore as well. I believe there is nothing wrong with dressing up beyond my comfort zone, as long as comfort and my personality is associated with what I am wearing.
When it comes to shopping, I am a firm believer that style should never cost a huge dime. I hate fast fashion and believe me when I say that 95% of my wardrobe came from the thrift store, and I am not ashamed of it. Not majority of people is fascinated with thrift store and used clothing or other stuff, yet, for me, they provide the sense of uniqueness that I truly wanted to portray with my fashion style. Well, as thrift store patriots say, “Other’s old or used items can be someone’s gem.”.
For me, at the end of the day, what truly inspires my fashion style is how I wanted to portray myself to others because I believe that dressing up is not only an extension of our personality and but also a form of art and expression as well.
Do you have a lifestyle or fashion hack that you can’t live without?
I have so many in mind, yet, the one that always stood out the most is simply being grateful. I always keep in mind that whatever I have in life, I should be grateful. Even on small things, I always say grace for it. Being grateful for whatever you have at the moment is simply being gracious with the blessings that you received.
On the other hand, one fashion hack I cannot live without, when in doubt, just wear black.
Which 3 things do you enjoy doing most in the city you live in?
I am always after chill moments, and what I enjoy doing most in the city I currently live in are the following: thrift stores, cafes, and its people. This city is little yet charming and quaint in its own way. People here are full of warmth and optimism.
On a scale of 1-10, how much of a foodie are you?
I am a foodie all the way! A solid 10 for me. One thing my father taught me was to willingly spend on food. Food does not only fulfill our hunger, it goes deep into our soul feeding us nourishment, satisfaction, and incredible experience.
If you can have a super power, what will it be?
It has been one of my greatest heartbreak when my father passed away, and if ever superpowers simply exist, how I wish to have the ability to time travel. How I wish to travel back in those times where I can cherish again the moments with him.
What kind of music are you into and do you have any favorite artists?
Music is like a free therapy session. My taste for music depends on my mood, though I am leaning towards alternative, rock, RNB, and hip-hop. And if you will ask me about the artists that I can listen to for days, hands down, it will be the following: Lorde, Paramore, Birdy, Taylor Swift, and Post Malone.
What turns you off on a date?
Unfortunately, I have never gone on so many dates, but the main red flag for me would be using phones during the date. Why not put the phones away and pretend it’s 1985? No distraction at all, just pure and genuine conversations.
Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions Gillian. One question before we end, how do you define “sexy”?
Sexy is simply embracing your flaws, loving your insecurities, and being comfortable on your skin.
Hello! I’m Elle from the Philippines, I am a past thespian turned social media manager. I guess communication was always an interesting thing for me. It was during the pandemic that I really got into creating beauty content on social media and although I don’t have much of a following yet, I’m grateful that a couple of brands have already trusted me and decided to work with me. There is still so much for me to learn and improve on and I’m really enjoying the process so far.
How will you describe your fashion style and where do you draw inspiration from?
I’ve always been a lover of vintage and romantic styles and because of my religious up-bringing I always go for modest clothes. My wardrobe is basically 90% thrifted with patterns ranging from plaid to paisley. If I were to describe my aesthetic, it’s cottagecore x dark academia.
What is your beauty regime like and do you use any beauty products?
For someone who loves my makeup, my daily beauty regime is fairly simple. I stick to the essentials and I prefer natural makeup now. I suppose it’s because I’m 24 and I like to put importance on taking care of my skin now over piling on makeup.
What hobbies or interests do you have?
Oh! I love to read. Recently I’ve been into thrillers but my all time favorites would be YA Fiction. Not a lot of people know that I love to crochet. It’s so addicting that I can actually stay up until 2am with a hook and yarn on hand haha! I’m actually a pretty laid back person and I really enjoy the peace and quiet. Wow reading and crocheting? What am I like, 80? hahaha!
Which 3 types of food do you recommend to everyone who visits your city?
Me! Kidding hahaha! I definitely recommend people try sinuglaw. It’s actually a mix of two words sinugba (grilled) and kinilaw (raw seafood dish similar to ceviche) and I love eating this with seaweed salad! Palagsing is also a morning staple. It’s brown sticky rice made with sago starch and best paired with sikwate (hot chocolate).
If you could time travel, where will you love to go and witness?
I’m a simple girl, I’d go back to when my grandmother was still alive. She recently passed away in September this year. I’d like to have afternoon tea with her again and talk about how she lived during the war and sing our song ‘Secret Love’ by Doris Day.
Would you rather invent a new gadget or discover a new species?
That is a very hard question. I suppose I’d go for ‘invent a new gadget’ because the future is in technology. If it all goes well, maybe I can help mankind or be rich haha! If I discover a new species and they turn out to be havoc-wreaking aliens, then knowing me, I’d probably be the first one to die! See, whenever I’m asked stuff like this I overthink it.
What turns you off on a date?
When they’re just on their phone and ignoring me. Like, why go on a date then? I’d definitely walk out LOL and I’ve done this before hahaha! Sorry babe, I’m way too pretty to be ignored. Bye!
Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions Elle. One question before we end, how do you define “sexy”?
Sexy is knowing your worth and owning it. Sexy is recognizing that your body won’t always fit what’s conventionally attractive and that’s okay. Sexy is finding confidence in your body and that your features are NEVER flaws.
Hi, I’m Angel, I’m from Pampanga. I’m a 21 year old Medical Laboratory Scientist student, sounds fancy but it’s a crazy, literally bloody course; nonetheless I love it. Haha! I’m also a content creator on the side, I love taking pictures and curating my feed even before I became a content creator, I also know how to sew by hand or by machine, it’s a therapeutic thing to do whenever I feel overwhelmed.
What is your fashion style like and where do you love to shop from?
I am both trendy and casual, it depends on my mood really, on how to dress up. I mostly shop on thrift stores, so that I won’t contribute much on fast fashion problems.
Do you have a strict beauty regime to look so fabulous?
It’s not strict but it’s a routine I follow so that I can maintain a good skin.
Is there something you have always wanted to learn or do but haven’t had the time?
Yes, I’ve always wanted to learn how to swim, like professionally. Swimmers amaze me, I feel like if I can be like them, I can audition being a mermaid on theme parks. Haha
What food or cuisine do you enjoy most?
Filipino, Korean and Chinese cuisines are the type of food I enjoy the most, they’re warm, savory, and tasty!
If you could be a superhero or villain, who will you be?
I want to be Merida or Mulan, I’ve always looked up to strong, independent women, so I’ve decided to become one.
Would you rather stay in or go out for a date?
I would rather stay in, I’m not much of a “bring me onto a fancy date” kind of person, I enjoy privacy.
What is a funny attempt a guy has tried to know you?
I think it’s not funny, but rather inappropriate hitting me up while walking and asking for my number.
Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions Angel. One question before we end, how do you define “sexy”?
Sexy is, whatever the hell you wanna be. Flaunt everything that you have, that’s sexy for me.
Hello! I am Jhoana Marie D. Clavano, a college student taking BSED Major in Social Science and an Instagram content creator from Laguna. I am a cat mom, coffee lover, BL Fan, loves art crafts and adventurous.
What inspires your fashion style and where do you love to shop from?
I’ve never had any inspiration for my fashion choices. I am more into simple wear such as jeans, shirt and shorts. Since I started as a content creator, I started buying girly clothes like crop tops and skirt to use it for my contents and gradually adjusting to be comfortable with them so I can wear them too in public. I enjoy purchasing clothes from Shopee because the majority of them are reasonably priced.
Do you follow a regular exercise or beauty regime?
I don’t exercise on a regular basis, but when I’m feeling down and want to relax, I always do Chloe Ting’s workout. For my beauty routine, I always watch Jan Angelo’s YouTube videos.
Which beauty or fashion accessories are a must have in your collection?
For beauty, it is always the mascara, lip tint, powder for my oily skin and blusher. For fashion accessories, I always go for a necklace or watch.
How is a typical day like for you?
As a college student, I spend the majority of my time on academics, then if I have any free time for 2 hours or more, I do photo shoots for my Instagram content, then I do my responsibilities in household chores and lend some time to myself to watch videos on Tiktok or series.
Is there something you’ve always wanted to learn but have yet to find the time?
I’ve always wanted to learn more, to the point where I can’t tell you all of them one by one. I am always eager to discover new things as I grow older, and I believe that this is what defines me as a person.
If you could change one thing about the world, what will it be?
Cruelty is one thing I want to see changed in the world. Life has become increasingly difficult for us as time passes because not all of us have the means to live better lives, not all of us are accepted for whom we are, and there are numerous other factors to consider. If everyone chooses love over hatred, the world will be a better place to live for all in my opinion.
What do you not get about the opposite sex?
In this type of topic, I’m trying to educate myself as much as possible so that I don’t have any questions or curiosity when it comes to opposite sex.
Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions Jhoana. One question before we end, how do you define “sexy”?
Being sexy to me means accepting who you are and being true to yourself. Being sexy means being a helpful person and a woman with dreams who wants to spread positivity and empower others.
I am Emma Bueno, 21 years old and I am from Rizal, Philippines. I create and share contents about lifestyle, fashion, and beauty on my Instagram account. Recently, I celebrated my 1st year anniversary as a content creator. I’m beyond happy to be in this industry for a quite some time now.
What inspires your fashion style and where do you usually shop from?
I look up to Nadine Lustre, Kendall Jenner, Jen Caballos, and Angelique Manto because their style is very chic and classy. I usually shop in local stores like Tiangge, online shops and even thrift stores. I’m so obsessed with the pieces of gems that I can find in thrift store stops, and I believe that I am not the only one hahaha.
Do you have any favorite quotes or mottos you like to use in life?
I would like to share with you my favorite symbol and it’s the semicolon. For me, It represents persistence. To keep going whenever and wherever life takes you.
Which is the best compliment you have received?
The best compliment that I have received is when someone told me that he liked my mindset and my confidence.

Oh.. I’m into writing poems! I love transcribing my feelings into words. I also dance and workout to stay fit and healthy.

Hi guys, am so happy to be a part of this beautiful interview section! My name is Amanda Danny, am from Nigeria and a content creator, a singer and I do other stuffs. I am also a graduate with a bachelor degree in mass communication.
How did your interest in modeling start and what do you love about modeling?
Well my passion for taking pictures started during quarantine, it was like my new found hobby then at that time as well. I started learning a lot about photography and social media marketing and since then, I have been loving it and am proud to call myself a creative/model.
Is being on camera a lot harder than it looks?
No it’s not for me. I find it fun and it’s allows me to show all my personality LOL. I am a whole different person when I am on a camera.
What is your workout or exercise regime like?
I started working out since 2018, then I didn’t have a routine. I’d just go to the gym and workout without a routine but during quarantine, I saw Chloe Ting on YouTube and she became my online coach and now Mr London as well.
If you could learn anything in this world, what will it be?
I would love to learn more about the profession I want to take which is music.
Have you been in an embarrassing situation before that is funny now when looking back?
Yes a lot ahahah. I remembered when I was almost arrested for creating content and guess what, they did that because they wanted to get my friends’ phone number. OMG I can’t stop laughing now, but it’s was also a bad memory for me .
Would you rather be able to taste colors or see smells?
Hmmm that’s hard, I do rather want to see smells.
What turns you off on a date?
I would say a self centered person.
Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions Amanda. One question before we end, how do you define “sexy”?
Well, hmmm being sexy depends on you and how you see yourself and also it’s confidence as well.
Hi I’m Franchesca Maryein Espinas! I am currently a graduating Communication Arts major in the De La Salle College of Saint Benilde. At the age of 21, I am currently the CEO of a transportation and real estate corporation located in Manila, Philippines. I started young in the business because I knew that my heart belonged to it. I enjoy working with them a lot and developing good relationships without noticing the workload.
In my spare time, I am a content creator, model and brand ambassador to certain brands like Shopee, Ponds, Rebisco, Carefree and Silka. To be honest, I am astounded that a company like SimplySxy contacted me to conduct this interview. As a neophyte in the industry, I knew that being part of this interview is a huge privilege for me to share my knowledge and capabilities through my platform.
In the later part, I aspire to be a criminal lawyer that is of service with the Filipino people. Justice in modern times is not easily sought. I wanted to become someone that uses her platform for the betterment of the community.
What inspires your fashion style and where do you love to shop from?
The fashion style that I have is more of a modern chic style with the touch of an alluring accent. The femine side of me brings out my personality that loves anything pink, pastel and glitter. At the same time, I enjoy being posh through the branded items I choose in order for an outfit to stand out with class. My style icon is Heart Evangelista which is the darling of the Philippines. She incorporates her modern day look with a designer item that easily captivates the eye of the public.
Also, I prefer heels more than flats to accentuate my style better. I shop at H&M and Zara because of their loath recyclable trends. Zara’s wardrobe is built around hero pieces, and trend items that are cheap and transient. It is a formula that works for more frugal customers like myself.
How much of a foodie are you and what are your favorites?
I am currently on an Intermittent Diet that is within the 20:4 scale but within the eating window, I usually go for anything dipped with vinegar or cheese. I love takoyaki and egg waffles if it is a cheat day. Thus, I could say I am a foodie. I have a refined interest in international cuisine and I like trying new flavors.
Recently, I have indulged in Mexican cuisine because the spices really captivate the whole meal. Once a guy captured my taste, It really caught my interest for I knew we would delve into the same taste.
What hobbies or interests are you into?
Besides the hectic schedule that I have, I enjoy buying properties at an early age. I invest into lifelong properties that do not depreciate in the market. Recently, I just bought a house of my own or maybe for the future haha! Kidding aside, investments drawn into land is always a win because every year there is an increased land value depicted by the market.
And as a normal young adult, I like to go out and shop at the leading retail malls in the Philippines. It is exciting to go to trendy places and get some photo shoots that are easily posted all over my social media. I am a very active social media user and I share the products and services I encounter most often.
Do you believe in any superstition?
My family believes that superstitions exist because my ancestors lived in the province. They often say that superstitions have been shown to promote a positive mental attitude. Although they can lead to irrational decisions, such as trusting in the merits of good luck and destiny rather than sound decision making.
I personally don’t believe in its existence but believe that we make our own destiny and future. It is only aneffective motivation which is a basic desire to exert control over one’s environment. When no natural cause can explain a situation, attributing an event to a superstitious cause gives people some sense of control and ability to predict what will happen in their environment.
Are there any quotes or mottos you like to use regularly?
There is only one quote I live my life into and that is, “A woman remains to be unstoppable after she realizes she deserves the best”. It connotes that a woman will overcome everything that is meant to destroy her.
Growing up, there has always been an implication that women have limitations. But, I would like to negate that ideology and change it to be a girl with a mind, a woman with an attitude and a lady with class.
If you could learn anything in this world, what would it be?
Aside from the aspiration I have to be a lawyer, I want to learn how to use protective range weapons in order to protect myself and my family. There is this connotation that women can’t shoot or aim for the right target and I want to defy that existing norm. Growing up, I always admired people who protect the marginalized and the voiceless. They give me chills whenever they save people in danger. The knowledge that will learn regarding the protective gears will be used for the better good and not to cause harm alone.
What do you not get about guys?
One thing that I don’t get about guys is that they already have the ideal or close to perfect girl, they tend to mess up or cheat. These instances cause women to develop a barrier or trust issues into the red flag acts that they committed. Lately, I realized that finding the perfect gem (partner) is not that easy. So when the time comes that the perfect girl arrives, remember to give her all the love and attention she needs and make her feel that she is the only girl in your life.
Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions Franchesca. One question before we end, how do you define “sexy”?
The ins and outs of what makes a person attractive is a topic that virtually everyone has spent a great deal of time thinking about – it would be safe to say that it only stops being at the forefront of the average person’s mind after that person has finally decided to settle down and withdraw from the dating scene. I could say that smart is the new sexy.
Someone who’s able to blow your mind by picking your brain can be so much more attractive than someone who obsesses over their appearance. They keep your interest by evoking yours. Intelligent people have so many layers to them, so it takes time to get to know them. But one thing is guaranteed: peeling away those layers will leave you wanting more.
I am going to have a collaboration with M.C Portraits and Events, Ryan Ayong Photography, Jhe-cka Haute Coutture and Make-up and Beautyloft Salon. I’ll also be endorsing products from Overflow Clothing, Progreso Apparel Co., Beauty’ N Glam, Shanelux Cosmetics, Everyday Glam Manila, Ylier Fashion PH, Binibini Jewelry, Glaesilegur Glow PH, Putti PH, and Aparelle PH. Also, I will upload a feature in my Instagram about this interview! So, stay tuned on my social media accounts! Thank you and God bless us all <3
Iam a content creator from Russia. I was born in Kazan, Republic of Tatarstan and then moved to Moscow. After graduation from the university of Moscow with a bachelor’s degree, I decided to obtain a master’s degree abroad. I entered an Italian university and in two years this summer, I graduated with a master’s degree in business management.
With moving abroad, I started my career as an influencer on Instagram and TikTok, sharing about life in Europe and creating funny and relatable videos. I love to inspire people for pursuing their dreams and always believing in yourself.
How will you describe your fashion style and where do you draw inspiration from?
My style is more casual with elegant and fancy elements. I am personally inspired by the style of old money that is popular now and I find it relevant to my personality. I like to be dressed elegantly but not too much, and for me it is very important to feel good and confident in what I wear.
Do you have any hobbies or interests?
I love sports. I am a professional gymnast and I was doing it for 15 years, so I cannot imagine my life without it. I work out a few times a week, and it helps me maintain a healthy state of mind and shape of body.
What is a typical day like for you?
I wake up early, I go for a run and do a good workout, then I come back home and do morning routine – shower, make up, getting ready, preparing healthy breakfast. It is important that I have enough time to enjoy my morning and not be in a hurry.
Then I would go to do work and film videos. I love when my day is very busy and interesting with meetings and projects. In the evening, I would love to meet with friends or have a date night. Walks and movies. And then, going to sleep not very late.
Which is your favorite or go to drink at a club?
I love mojitos. Always take it.
Would you rather be able to teleport or read minds?
Read minds. I don’t mind to spend a few hours on a plane to travel, but there is no alternative to reading minds unfortunately.
Are you more of a lingerie or bikini babe?
I am more of a bikini babe.
What is the funniest or lamest attempt a guy has tried to know you?
The funniest case I think I had was in the metro, when a guy tried to hit on me and I left the train, so he followed me. It was funny and not very creepy as he was following me as I tried to escape, while asking are you a sociopath??)) – I just wanted your number.
We were all laughing at that moment. Actually, a lot of times guys tried to know me in a way I was not comfortable at the moment, so I always say no at the very beginning of their trying.
Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions Karina. One question before we end, how do you define “sexy”?
For me, it is always about energy. Not the physical appearance, but confidence and energy that you feel and can pass to another person and share it. This is the best thing to experience when it comes from within.
