Cosplayer Morgan Elise

Hi Morgan it is a pleasure to feature you on SimplySxy. Please share with our readers a little about yourself and where you’re from?

Well, I’m a college student in Wisconsin, who was raised in a small Minnesota town. I am trying to get into a Game Development and Design major. I love cats so much that I cry over how cute they are, and I love eating sweets and watching kids movies. I love abstract, strange and avant garde style games and anime the most but I still enjoy other genres. I love to go for walks and I love to spend time on my own, but I’m still very social.

How did you get started into cosplay?

When I was 14, back in 2010, I was googling L from Death Note and I stumbled on a cosplay of him, and then a few months later a friend of mine invited me to come to an anime convention. My first cosplay was actually L, too! Since then I became addicted, and I’ve done over 50 cosplays since then. Last year alone, I did 30! For me, cosplay making is an anxiety reliever as well, so I used it last year to cope with a lot of the anxiety I had and it kept me very happy.

Which common misconceptions about cosplay still exists today?

One misconception I run into frequently is people assuming cosplayers have no idea about anything surrounding the characters they cosplay. This is not always true, and people can cosplay for a variety of reasons: loving the franchise they are cosplaying from, loving the character, being in a group cosplay or just loving the character design. As long as they’re having fun that’s all that should matter.

What is the best compliment you have received?

If someone calls me canon when I cosplay a character I feel a strong connection to, that’s the best compliment I could ever receive from anyone regarding cosplay. That, or when I see someone using my images for their cover photo. It’s happened a few times that I’ve seen, and it’s really flattering.

Do you have any other hobbies?

I like to write stories, create art, play video games (especially horror games and RPGs), watch Disney and Barbie movies, aspiring to be a singer and songwriter, makeup, wig collecting, working on game development (slowly), going for walks and bike rides, lying in bed too much, and making kitties happy as can be.

If you could change one thing about the world, what will it be?

I would work to better education, because the root of many problems, mainly from the US, is poor education. Fixing education would fix many of society’s issues. Sadly, I don’t see too many people advocating for making positive changes in education.

What song would you say best describes you?

This is actually a really tough one..because it changes often. I actually just shuffled my playlist and went to choose the one I feel fits most! Fallen Angels, the ending theme for Panty & Stocking, fits pretty well for me at this current time, I see it as being about trust and it’s very positive and sweet. Another one would be Duvet by BoA, the opening to Serial Experiments Lain, it’s a bit sadder but that one fits me at a few points in my life. Also I just love Lain, a LOT.

What do you find attractive in the opposite sex?

I’d say, someone who is filled with love and respect for you and someone who wishes your happiness. I’m actually demisexual so I don’t have many preferences on appearances, and my preferences don’t limit me. But, I’d say, average body weight and size, I love dark hair and I really love graying hair a lot, and sweet eyes. And long eyelashes!

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

To me, sexy is about confidence. If a girl or boy is confident in themselves and their bodies, that’s what I find sexy. But to me, it’s more about the attitude and personality.

Cosplayer & Gamer-Girl Amanda Levine

Hi Amanda it is a pleasure to feature you on SimplySxy. Please share with our readers a little about yourself and where you’re from?

Thank you so much! I am a cosplayer, gamer-girl, Disney lover, comic reader, film/tv buff and over-all nerd from the Los Angeles area! I have been cosplaying now for over three years, but I wish I had been doing it my whole life!

Photo by Pat Loika and Post Production by Ghani Madueno

When did your interest in cosplay begin?

It began back a bit over 3 years ago when I attended my first San Diego Comic Con. I saw all of these amazing cosplayers wearing these epic costumes. I was always a nerd but I never knew how to express myself and when I saw these people cosplaying as their favorite characters, I knew I had to get in on that.

Which characters that you have cosplayed before are you most proud of?

I love all of my Harley Quinns. Especially my Arkham City and Injustice: Gods Among Us Harleys. She is always my favorite to dress up as, she is so bubbly, crazy and sexy all at the same time. I really loved my Thor cosplay as well because I made the armor all from scratch.

Photo by Mike Rollerson Photography

What is the most common misconception you hear about cosplayers?

I think the most common misconception is that we just dress up like it is Halloween all the time. It is much more than that. These costumes take weeks if not months to complete and these characters really mean something to us, so to portray our love for our favorite characters through this skill and craft is meaningful. It is way more than just poor quality Halloween store costuming. These are very expensive, time consuming pieces of art.

Which is the craziest thing you have done or experienced so far?

I would have to say San Diego Comic Con is always a crazy experience. The crowds are insane and the amount of fandoms there are amazing. Literally the whole city gets involved in the madness that is Comic Con.

Do you have any guilty pleasures?

Oh ya. I love watching TV shows and some of those shows are not the best quality shows but they are so fun to watch. I really love watching Pretty Little Liars on Freeform. I have been since college and it is a total guilty pleasure. It’s such a lame soap opera but it’s so addicting. I also really like watching Catfish on MTV. That show is so intense! But I do also watch good quality shows too haha! I love The Walking Dead, The Flash, Arrow, Bates Motel, The Crown and Stranger Things as well.

If you could describe yourself as a flavor, what will it be?

Hmmmm that is an interesting question! I know this sounds really weird and in depth, but I would have to say a Chai Latte! Chai spice can be really spicy but at the same time the vanilla and cream flavors really are sweet. I myself can be spicy and sweet!

Photo by PrimoFox Photography

How long do you think you’ll survive a zombie apocalypse?

I honestly was thinking about this the other day after watching The Walking Dead. I would say I would head down to San Diego to this little island across the bay called Coronado. It is surrounded by water on mainly all sides and the only thing that connects it to the mainland is a bridge and a tiny strip of beach called “the strand.” I feel like zombies would have a hard time getting there. Also the Navy is located there and that would be great for protection. I really have thought about this!

Photo by Nels Photography

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

I would define sexy as not trying too hard to be sexy. I think the people that are the sexiest are the ones that do not show it off too much. In the cosplay world there are some cosplayers who show nothing but boobs and butt, and while that might be great for them and their followers, I always find it’s sexier to show off your skill before showing off literally everything else. I don’t feel like you need to post overly sexualized pictures and up close photos of a butt to attract good attention. I also think it is sexy when someone does charity work or good deeds for other people!

Beauty Queen & Cosplayer Lady Nikoru

Hi Nikoru, thank you for taking the time to answer our questions. Please share with our readers a little about yourself and where you’re from?

You got it! Hey guys, I go by the name Lady Nikoru. I was born and raised in Queens, New York and now reside in the sunshine state of Florida! I am a Registered Nurse, and heading back to school next semester for my Master’s Degree. I am a huge gamer! A few of my favorite games are Tales of Xillia, Final Fantasy VII, Overwatch, and Resident Evil. I also am a lover of anime, and I am a cosplayer. I’m pretty much the whole “nerd” package! Although, this is where my unique-ness comes in, or so everyone says.

I am also a beauty queen. I have competed for more well known beauty pageants such as Miss Florida USA. I have also figure skated my entire life, and recently transitioned into a semi-pro cheerleader.

How will you describe your fashion style?

I feel so proud to say it – I love my hobo days! I love dressing into leggings or yoga pants, toss on a nerdy or geek shirt, and going about with my errands on my days off. I like to call it “beauty queen off duty”! I’m always so glammed up when I’m doing photoshoots for modeling, cosplaying at anime conventions, cheer and pageant events. So it’s definitely nice to express my nerdom through my fashion style.

What is a typical day like for yourself?

Quoting Rihanna’s song, “Work, work, work, work, work!” It normally depends on my shifts, but after a long day of work I like to unwind and play video games. You’ll catch me on competitive play on Overwatch almost every night. If I’m not at home catching up on anime or gaming, you can find me at the gym for cheer practice!

What is your proudest accomplishment so far?

My proudest accomplishment by FAR is passing the national nursing board exam. I cannot even begin to tell you how hard I worked to get where I am with my career. I absolutely love being an RN, and couldn’t picture doing anything else in my life than caring for those in need.

Do you have any other hobbies?

Cosplay, cosplay, cosplay! I’m no master cosplayer, but I’m learning with every new cosplay I create and every convention I attend. It’s just so much fun. The whole process of assembling a costume, bringing that character to life, and meeting other people that have the same interests as you. I’m in love with the cosplay community!

What is the funniest thing that has happened to you?

Okay, so most of my childhood consisted of a lot of gaming. And I mean, a lot. I was really hooked on the GameCube game Sonic 2 Adventure Battle. I loved raising chao in that game. There was such thing as evolving your chao into an “ultimate chao’, but it took a lot of time and effort. Well me being me, I was no quitter. It took weeks of playing hours on end, and I finally got my chao to evolve. Lo and behold, it dies 20 minutes later after emerging from its cocoon. I cried for days, hahaha! I look back at it now and it just goes to show I’m a little too dedicated to gaming. Some things never change!

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

Don’t give me this question! I’m such an anime nerd. It would probably have to be Erza Scarlet from Fairy Tail, because she is my queen and spirit animal. I’d definitely love to go scarlet red in the future too!

How will you describe an ideal date?

I know some girls are really self-conscious on the first few dates, but I love when a guy incorporates my interests into a date. It shows he takes the time to get to know me. Take me out bowling, or at a gaming arcade, and we can munch on finger foods! I have a competitive side and it’s a lot of fun when the guy is too.

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

First and foremost, I define the word sexy as being confident with the way you look. We live in a generation where people are always criticizing others on their physical appearance. I think unique is sexy. We don’t have to look a certain way to be accepted as “sexy”. I think being a nerd is sexy, I think being intelligent is sexy, and I think being a geek is sexy! Beauty goes deeper than the surface.

Cosplayer, Model & Gamer Kiyo

Hi Kiyo thank you for taking the time to answer our questions on SimplySxy. Please share with our readers a little about yourself and where you’re from?

My name’s Kiyo, and I’m a cosplayer, casual model and gamer from Glendale, AZ that’s currently living in sunny Singapore. I do a lot of crafting for my cosplays so I guess you could say I’m kind of an amateur crafter as well.

Photo: Boris.秋村 Photography

How did you get started into cosplay?

It’s quite funny how things started out actually. I met a friend in high school that had an interest in anime and told me that he’s doing cosplay. At that point in time, cosplay wasn’t as BIG as it is now, the cosplay community here was still pretty small and there weren’t many large scale events at the point in time. This friend of mine brought me to a small event, to show me what things are really about and what he does for fun. I’ve seen people in costumes and wigs of characters they adore, and the passion and effort they put towards doing this made me actually want to try it out. So eventually I did. And here I am about 6 years later, still enjoying what I did from day one.

Which characters have you enjoyed cosplaying most?

As of right now, I think my favourite character I’ve cosplayed so far has to be Tracer. I’ve put a lot of effort into the creation of her costume, props as well as her makeup and persona, so seeing people love her as much as I do really makes me happy.

Is there any characters you have in mind to cosplay next?

Of course there are! I think the upcoming cosplays that I have in mine are mostly Overwatch or Fate Grand Order related. There’s just too many to just list out actually…

Photo: Pireze

If you could have a super power, what will you choose to have?

Oh man, that’s a hard question. I think probably mind control. Or maybe something like Jean Grey or Raven. That would be pretty damned cool I’d say.

What do you like to do in your free time besides cosplay?

I mostly just game or watch game playthroughs in my free time. I usually play Overwatch or World of Warcraft. But if there’s new games I’d like to play then I’ll try those too.

Which is your favorite type of food?

I eat sushi religiously and I have zero regrets.

How will you describe an ideal date?

I’m not the kind that does like fancy dinners or anything, I’m pretty simple so even a movie date or just getting to know each other over coffee would be great enough for me. I just really enjoy company.

Photo: Simply Random

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

I think confidence, like self confidence is sexy. Doing and wearing what you want without caring about what other people say about you. That’s my definition of sexy.

Canadian Model, Dancer, Gamer & Voiceover Artist Shiori

Hi Shiori it is a pleasure to feature you on SimplySxy. Please share with our readers a little about yourself and where you’re from?

I’m a dancer, model, and voiceover artist (and a hobbyist gamer/streamer) from Toronto, Canada. I grew up in a city called Stuttgart in Germany. I moved to Canada in my early pre-teens and have lived here ever since. I’m still a student right now, in my final year of University, doing an honours specialization in finance with a minor in dance.

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

I have a thing for over-the-knee boots, I love tall boots. I like to pair them with some sort of form fitting pants (skinny jeans, leggings, tights), and a large comfy sweater over top. That would be my typical fall/winter wear. I love accessories as well, though I don’t really wear them as much as I’d like… I’m in dance class or rehearsal a lot and usually need to remove jewelry for that, and I’m too lazy to keep taking them off and on. That leads to me just not wearing jewelry on days when I’m going in and out of the studio… which ends up being most days 🙁

I tend to like Asian brands since their clothing fits me better, and I’m super happy about UNIQLO opening their first Toronto store! I definitely see myself going there a lot now.

What hobbies do you have?

I’m an avid gamer, I love both video games and traditional board games. A chill night at a board game cafe is one of my go-to hang out plans with friends. My favourite video games series of all time is Portal, and I’m currently playing League of Legends and Overwatch. I occasionally compete in amateur tournaments for these as well. I also love to dance, and I’ve been dancing for over 16 years now. And finally, I’m a huge bookworm – I read basically every genre and English/Literature was actually my favourite subject all through grade school. I kind of miss analyzing texts and writing essays, to be honest. I guess I’m a bit of an English geek haha.

Do you follow any beauty regime to looking so fantastic?

I don’t think I do anything too fancy. Skin and hair are the two things I mainly pay attention to. I’m pretty attentive about removing my makeup fully every night, cleansing my face well and then applying some moisturizer before bed. I know some people who have really extensive 10-step skin care routines every night haha, they do have really beautiful skin and I wish I could commit to something like that… maybe one day. My hair is actually one of my main flaws that I dislike and try my best to remedy. It’s very thin and dry. I do moisturizing hair masks every two weeks or so.

What is the best compliment you have received?

I once had a dance teacher tell me I had a beautiful and magnetic soul. She said that while I wasn’t necessarily the prettiest in the group, or the best dancer, I was still somehow the one everyone’s eyes turned to. It was me that people watched. That’s a comment that I remembered and held on to throughout the years. I didn’t realize it at the time, but I think its underlying meaning is something important everyone should keep in mind. It’s the idea that you didn’t have to be the prettiest or best or anything like that at all. If you live for yourself and stay true to yourself, that will come out through your words and actions, and people will see that.

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

More languages. I’ve always been interested in languages and was pretty good at picking them up. This is probably influenced by my childhood, where I moved countries a lot and had to keep learning new ones. I really enjoy traveling and exploring different cultures as well, so speaking more languages would definitely help.

What kind of music are you into?

I listen to a variety of music. In my current playlist I have top 40/generic pop, kpop, anime songs, video game/movie OSTs, and some classical pieces. My current favourite singer is Halsey, after hearing her in the OST for the movie Snow White and the Huntsman. I loved her collaboration with The Chainsmokers as well, of course. I’m also a huge fan of the composer Alexandre Desplat. He did a gorgeous piece called “The Mirror” that Travis Wall made really beautiful choreography to, as well as the soundtrack to The Grand Budapest Hotel.

How will you describe an ideal date?

Something creative, with bonus points if it’s something a bit more personalized for us. I think the person is more important that what we’re doing, there are a lot of things I would have a blast with, next to the right person. I would definitely appreciate a lot if it was something unique and special, as opposed to a generic movie/dinner, or coffee, etc that any random two people could default to.

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

Confidence is definitely the sexiest trait in my opinion. I tend to be turned off by things like insecurity, the constant need for external assurance that you’re attractive/capable/etc, or lots of self-doubt in your own choices and actions. Don’t take it to the point of arrogance, but I find something incredibly attractive in someone just having that quiet but firm faith in themselves. To have purpose behind your actions and the conviction that you’re going somewhere.

Toronto Gamer Girl Jasmina Lin

Hi Jasmina thank you for taking the time to answer our questions on SimplySxy. Please share with our readers a little about yourself and where you’re from?

My name is Jasmina, I’m 21 years old, full Chinese, and I’m from Toronto! I love playing video games, singing, taking selfies, and eating. I currently am a full time partnered streamer at Twitch.tv. Oh and did I mention I love food?!

What kind of games are you into and which game are you currently playing?

I’m mostly into MOBA (multiplayer online battle arena) and FPS (first player shooter) games but usually any game that is fun will catch my attention. I have been playing a lot of League of Legends and Overwatch.

If you could have a chance to be a gaming character, who will it be and why?

There are so many gaming characters, but if I had to choose one I would be Princess Zelda, not only is she a princess but she’s a bad-ass fighter who has no problem taking care of herself. She also has a sick alter-ego in the form of a ninja named Sheik.

Do you have a preferred side when taking selfies?

I think everyone does, mine is the right side!

What is the craziest thing you have done and not regret?

I have performed in front of thousands of people in 2014, singing and I definitely do not regret it. To a lot of people, stage fright is very common and it’s exhilarating to me!

Which is one clothing or fashion accessory you will never be caught wearing?

I am not a big fan of jewelry on myself asides from the one ring I wear. Often times I get necklaces, bracelets as gifts but I feel bad because I don’t really like wearing them. I’m always conscious that it’s on my body and it makes me uncomfortable.

What is an ideal first date to you?

An ideal first date would be dinner with good food. Although I’m not about expensive taste and would rather be in sweatpants most of the time, I appreciate the times I do get all dressed up just for the occasion! Plus, first impressions are important.

Which is the lamest pickup line or attempt a guy has tried to know you?

Oh man, there have been too many! I would have to say the lamest attempt is when a guy thinks that money is everything thus kind of “bribing” me in a way for a chance. I fall for charm, humor, and just an overall good personality! A plus if he’s good looking too, haha!

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

I think sexy is confident, sexy is being happy, and feeling good about the way you are. There’s nothing sexier than a girl being happy in her own body and loving herself. Thank you so much for having me!

Canadian Gamer Girl Amy “Asensasian”

Hi Amy, it’s a great pleasure to feature you on SimplySxy. Please share with our readers a little about yourself and where you’re from?

Thank you so much for having me! I’m a 26 year old girl who loves to play video games. My parents are from Taiwan, hence my gamer name “asensasian”. I am born and raised in Toronto, Ontario and I’m proud to be Canadian.

When did your interest in gaming began?

I started gaming in February 2015. Although I’ve always had an interest in gaming, my parents never let me own a console. I owned a Gameboy colour though and got my first taste of Nintendo! Ever since then I was kind of hooked. I played a few casual games when I was growing up and remembered envying my cousin and eventually my roommates in university. Besides the classic games, my first real taste of a competitive game was Super Smash Bros. I thought hey, now that I’m on my own, it’s about time I get myself a console… or two!

Which are some of your all time favorite games?

I love to play Nintendo games… although I must say they are quite rage inducing. I am a kid at heart and think these games are extremely fun and quite addictive. My favourite games right now would be Super Smash Bros 4, Splatoon and Super Mario Maker. I also enjoy PS4 games. Just Cause 3 is extremely fun, but difficult! I also love to play Mortal Kombat X and Grand Theft Auto V. Some PC games I play are Minecraft and Hearthstone.

How long have you been on Twitch and when can we usually catch you?

I’ve only been streaming on Twitch since February of 2015. I’m almost at my one year mark! I try to follow a regular streaming schedule and will update my viewers on social media should I not be able to. You can catch me Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays at 9PM EST, Saturdays at 5PM EST and Sundays at 2PM EST!

What is a typical day like for you?

My typical day would be to commute to work at the Federal Government of Canada. I work 8.5 hours a day, go home to eat and shower and then stream on Twitch for the remainder of my night. It can definitely be tiring, but it is fun to hang out with all my fans and viewers and as much as I love sleep, it is totally worth it. I would love to be able to game and stream full time… and will hopefully be able to one day! Until I’m able to financially support myself, I’m going to have to do what everyone else does and put in the grind!

Do you have any hobbies?

Gaming is my hobby! Other than that though, I love to watch trashy television like Real Housewives (LOL don’t judge!) and more “serious” shows such as the Walking Dead and Game of Thrones. I’m also an avid reader and read as often as I can. I would have to say my favourite genre would be dystopian novels. I guess my other hobby would be every other girl’s hobby… I love to shop and get my hair done.

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

I’d love to learn how to be an entrepreneur. A happy life to me is to be successful at what you love to do. If I’m able to learn anything in the world it would be to learn as much as I can about the fundamentals of business so that one day, I’ll have the courage to take the ultimate leap of faith.

Are there any games you are eagerly looking forward to playing in 2016?

Most my viewers know me by now as the type of gamer that has to try the game before I can decide whether I like it or not. There are definitely some games I’m looking forward to trying out in 2016, one being Street Fighter 5. I love fighting games. Pokkén Tournament also looks wicked fun, I mean Pokémon and fighting… what’s not to love? Tom Clancy’s The Division also caught my eye. Usually players destroy the world in open-world games, but in this one you have to restore the order. I’m interested in seeing how that will all play out. I as well as many are also anticipating a new Legend of Zelda game for the Wii U. Can’t forget the classics!

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

Sexy is classy. To me, sexy is simply knowing who you are and owning it.

Gorgeous cosplayer and avid gamer Raychul Moore

With her attention to detail and passion for gaming, Raychul Moore does an awesome job on every character she cosplays and the outcome is always mindblowing. SimplySxy catches up with Raychul on how her interest in cosplay all began, the work that goes into creating all the costumes and props, and her favourite games of 2015.

Hi Raychul, thank you for taking the time to answer our questions on SimplySxy. Please share with us a little about yourself and where you’re from?

Well, let’s see, I was born in Florida but mostly grew up in North Carolina and am now in Los Angeles, CA. I started my career in all things nerdy as a video game journalist and now make videos on YouTube and create lots of cosplays!!

When did you develop an interest in gaming and cosplay?

I was raised in a gaming household, so I guess you can say I’ve been into it since…forever! 😀 My love for cosplay was just kind of a natural progression from my love for gaming, but my first time cosplaying was at San Diego Comic Con in 2006. I went with a group of friends and it was all of our first time at a comic con…so we decided to do a group cosplay. I fell in love with it instantly and have been creating several new cosplays a year ever since!!

Did you ever envisage that you would be so successful and popular when you started out?

/blushes Thank you! Ummm, that’s hard to answer. I mean, I never really realized there was such a huge community of fans and creators when I first started! It’s been one hell of an awesome time! But I really do it for my own pleasure. The feeling of finally seeing something you’ve worked so hard on finally come together (even if mostly held together by safety pins and luck) is so amazing! I do it for that moment. That sense of accomplishment and pride is what fuels me. 😀

What are your must play games of 2015?

Best game I’ve played so far this year was The Witcher 3. Oh man, I just adore that game!! Also, Hand of Fate if you’re into table-top card-styled games, and Tales From the Borderlands so far has been pretty awesome…but maybe that’s just because I’m a huge Borderlands fangirl!

Then, coming up I’m super excited for the Dishonored Definitive Edition, Fallout 4, Star Wars Battlefront, Kill Strain and Halo 5 this year!!!

Have you ever been frustrated while playing games and took it out on the console/controller?

Oh no, never on my console or controller. But have I ever beaten a couch cushion to near death?! Oh yes, many times.

Which characters have you enjoyed cosplaying so far?

All of them! 😀 I don’t cosplay as characters that I’m not a fan of myself. So each character I have cosplayed as has a super special place in my heart as a favorite.

Does it take a lot of work to create the costume and props, as well as the makeup to get into character?

One of the many rules of cosplay is: Each costume will take you longer than you expect. So yes, the creation phase takes quite a long time! But I’m a terrible procrastinator, so I never allow myself the amount of time I should for each costume. I’m usually still sewing together pieces or painting props in my hotel room the night before a con. 😀

As far as the time it takes to get ready that morning, yeah, that also takes a lot more time than you’d usually expect. Most costumes have pieces that have to be put on in a certain order, so things have to be planned out beforehand.

If you could have superpowers for real, which would you want to have and why?

I’d totally want mind-control. With the ability to control people’s minds, you could really do anything. You can have endless amounts of money, or why would you need money if you could walk into a store and take whatever you want then make the person working there forget you’d ever been there?! You could make the whole world love you and love each other. You could get rid of crime completely…or create complete chaos! Whatever you want to do, you could do it, and with very little physical effort! So yep…mind control is my kinda superpower. 😀

It’s a great pleasure to feature you on SimplySxy, Raychul. One question before we end, how do you define “sexy”?

What I find “sexy” is people who still let their inner child come out and play. One of the great things about being an adult is getting to do all the things you couldn’t do as a kid, like buy bags of candy and eat it all day, or play video games all night long! So many people lose that inner passion for fun and imagination as they get older because I think society as a whole makes us think that as we grow up we must also stop being a kid. So I love people who never stop being kids and who still laugh at fart jokes and who still know how to just be absolutely silly and don’t feel the need to “grow up”. I guess, to make all that short, I find people who feel free to be themselves and free to have fun being themselves totally sexy.

Oh, and Handsome Jack.
