    International model, actress and host Isabelle Du is the eBay queen!

    Who is Isabelle Du?

    A born and raised Californian native, I’m currently based in Los Angeles as an actress, international model and host. Currently, I’m a series regular model on the 2015 Critic’s Choice Award Winner: Syfy’s Face Off. And last year, my boyfriend and I raced around the world on the 25th season of the Emmy award winning show The Amazing Race. Some of my previous work has included FHM, Elle, Harper’s Bazaar, Cosmopolitan, Tresemme, and Urban Outfitters.

    What’s one fun fact about yourself?

    I’m a total point hoarder. I’m completely obsessed with earning and redeeming points for things – from free cash to gift cards to massive amounts of airline points. I have all kinds of apps that I use on the daily. There’s one where I’ll take photos of my shopping receipts and earn cash for it. I become so completely consumed with earning points that if I see a random receipt on the ground, I’ll have no shame picking it up just to take a photo of it, haha! People have scoffed at the idea but I genuinely have so much fun with it. Plus, little do they know that so far this year, I’ve earned about over $800 in free money just by collecting points.

    Do you have any hobbies?

    My friends call me the eBay queen. I sell anything and everything online actually. From eBay, Poshmark, Threadflip, Tradesy, Mercari, I love signing up for all kinds of online marketplaces. Some of the most surprising things I’ve sold have included toilet paper rolls, coupons, and junk mail. They’re not kidding when they say that one man’s junk is another man’s treasure!

    Most embarrassing thing you’ve done?

    When I lived in Vietnam, I used to ride around my gold motorbike Goldie. Going for dinner one night, I parked Goldie outside the restaurant and placed my helmet on the bike. As I walked inside, I noticed that everyone had their eyes on me. I thought maybe it was because I looked good that night and strutted my way to my friend at the table.

    She stares at me too and then asks me, “What’s that on your head?!” The inside of my helmet had somehow detached itself from the outer part so I had this ridiculous white Styrofoam molding on top of my head the entire time. From parking my bike to walking into the restaurant and then sitting down, everyone was staring at my arts and crafts version of a helmet! When I took it off, the entire restaurant started laughing. I had no choice but to laugh it off.

    One thing you can’t live without?

    If we’re talking about a tangible thing, there’s nothing really that I absolutely need. I’ve had to move around a lot and so I prefer to live as minimally as possible. But if we’re talking about something intangible, I’d say hands down– love. Whether it’s from our family, friends or significant other, we all need it to feel human.

    5

    If you had the chance to meet anyone, what will it be?

    My spirit animal. I wonder if it’s a hamster.

    Are you more comfortable in lingerie or bikini?

    I could easily live in both. Actually, I totally do.

    7

    Which movie character best represents you?

    I’ve been told that I’m like Lucy from I Love Lucy. Everyday is like a new day of antics for me.

    What’s the sexiest thing in your wardrobe?

    My vintage mink fur coat from the 1940s that I got from the San Francisco Treasure Island flea market. With tears in the seams, it’s not in the best condition unfortunately. But I still love it because it makes me feel like a Hollywood starlet back in time.

    8

    A must have in your life is?

    Tricky, tricky. This question sounds quite similar to the “one thing you can’t live without” one. Although, “a must have in your life” sounds like there’s lower stakes at hand. Right now, I’m going to say podcasts, I’m obsessed with “My Wife Quit Her Job” and “This American Life”. I can’t do my LA commutes without them. You should also ask what’s a “NOT must have in your life” so that I can answer top 40’s radio. Bleh!

    10

    What’s sexy to you?

    Men who wear trench boots. Sobriety. Chivalry. Men who are proudly feminists. Wit. Fathers who are there for their kids. Hilarious comedians who use expletives sparingly. Humility. People who think quick on their feet. Confidence, not arrogance. Hand-written letters. Being well-traveled. And a constant desire to improve one’s self.


    My short film SUMMER GIRLS is out right now. Bobby Vu directed it and it’s a dark piece that you’ve got to watch! You can see it here: https://youtu.be/iP22oqlc1lM

    Also, you can watch me on Face Off on the Syfy channel every Tueday at 9/8c. You’ll only recognize me for the first few minutes and then the special effects make up artists transform me into these insanely elaborate creatures – be it an alien or monster.

  • What does the beautiful Angeline Chow look for in a guy?

    What does the beautiful Angeline Chow look for in a guy?

    What does the gorgeous model Angeline Chow do to keep fit and look hot in every photo? We talk to her on what she sees in a guy and the one pickup line that has made her cringe.

    Hi Angeline, thank you very much for your time taken to answer our questions on SimplySxy.  Can you share with our readers a little about yourself and where you’re from?

    I am 23 years old and was born and raised in Los Angeles California but my family is from Taiwan. I just recently graduated college and am a huge animal lover and foodie.

    Where did you interest in modeling come from and start?

    I think what really peaked my interest in modeling was being able to play different roles and expressing myself physically. You can be whoever you want in front of the camera and I found that aspect particularly alluring. I had many friends who were photographers and they took the most amazing pictures of people. It is absolutely amazing what you can capture on camera, especially in the unposed/candid shots. To be honest, I think those types of pictures are the most beautiful.

    How will you describe your fashion style?

    In one word, casual. I wish I could say I was a fashionista and that I knew how to style myself, but I usually just pick comfort and versatility because I’m often running around all day. Don’t get me wrong, I love and appreciate fashion, but on an everyday basis, I love to be in my most comfy sweats and a tee.

    3

    You have many fabulous photos of food posts on your Instagram. What is your secret to having that amazing body even with all these delicious pleasures?

    Blood, sweat and tears at the gym! Hahaha, I love food and I know this sounds silly but most people eat to live, I eat for pleasure. Food makes me happy and I love cooking. Also, I was unfortunately not blessed with the dominant skinny asian gene so I try to bust my bum at the gym to try and keep things proportionate. I am also a big fan of yoga and hiking, so that also helps me stay where I need to be!

    Is there any interesting story behind one of your tattoos which you could share?

    I think all of my tattoos are accompanied by some sort of story, which is probably what prompted me to get them in the first place…but I think the funniest story is the first tattoo I got. I think I was around 15 or 16, and I remember always hearing from people, “Get something you won’t regret later on, something that will never change.” So being the genius 15/16 year old, I had an “aha” moment was like, that’s easy! I’m going to get my name tattooed on myself, because that’s something that will never change. Looking back now, 6 years later, I laugh because I have a permanent name tag right above my left butt cheek. I always joke around with people and say, if I ever go missing, at least my body will be easy to identify! I have a laugh about it now but I honestly don’t regret it even in the slightest because I remember that time in my life when I was carefree and young. It serves as a memory, as do all of my tattoos. I have a philosophy of it’s really not what tattoo you get, but the memories that accompanies it when you look at it 5, 10, 20 years down the line.

    Do you feel more comfortable in a bikini or lingerie?   

    Comfort wise, I think bikini for sure. I often shy away from taking modeling pictures in both bikinis and lingerie but I can definitely say, although I feel more comfortable in a bikini, I feel a lot sexier in lingerie. Wearing lingerie under my regular clothes on random days definitely gives me a boost of confidence and I feel just a bit sexier because I have it on, it’s kind of like my naughty little secret that no one knows about!

    6

    What can a guy do to catch your attention?

    I look for four things: if they have a nice smile, are genuine, are kind, and can make me laugh. If they have those four things, they’ve got my attention. I’m a pretty silly person and I like to spend time with like-minded people who like to laugh and have a good time. I can be attracted to just about anyone who has these four aspects. When I say, “nice smile,” I don’t necessarily mean just aesthetically. I think this a person’s smile brightens their whole face so even if their teeth aren’t perfect, I don’t mind, as long as it’s genuine. I find kindness the sexiest trait on a man. Oh, and I am a positive and optimistic person so I prefer to surround myself with positivity and positive people. No negativity!

    Lastly, I’ve got to say this: if a man can also cook me a good meal, they’re head and shoulders above the rest already.

    4

    Have you ever experienced a pickup line which made you cringe?

    You know what, I think I take pickup lines very lightheartedly and I’ve yet to hear one that has made me cringe. Even the corniest or dirtiest of lines, I find hilarious. The last one I heard, I almost spat my drink out from laughing. It was something along the lines of… “Sit on my face and let me eat my way to your heart.” Pick-up lines are known for their frivolity, so to take it as anything other than that is taking the whole thing too seriously.

    7

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

    Sexy to me, is a humble confidence. Being sexy is being confident in one’s skin, but there is a thin line between being confident and being cocky and cockiness is NOT sexy. I think that’s why humility plays an important role as well. I think anyone can be sexy, and anyone can feel sexy, as long as they are confident and humble. Often times, being ‘sexy’ is associated with the only the physical but I disagree. Sexiness exudes from the inside, out.

    1737043_206703129525782_1481595075_n

    SimplySxy: How will you describe your fashion style?

    Emily: This is a tough one for me! It really depends on my mood when I wake up. Sometimes I dress very kawaii and girly, other times I’ll be in dark sweats and a baggy tee. I guess my style is more relaxed, I very rarely wear jewellery and usually just throw some things together!

    1

    SimplySxy: What do you like most about being in LA?

    Emily: I love that there are so many restaurants! I love eating and trying new places. I feel like I can never eat everywhere in LA even if I live to be 100 years old. I really love desserts, and there are so many cool little places to try in LA.

    SimplySxy: Can you tell us 3 fun facts about yourself?

    Emily: I can never really think of anything to say! Haha. I really love miniature things. So anything like small dogs, small toys, small food, or even small buildings. I’m really into collecting stuffed animals, especially Rilakuma dolls. My room has tons of stuffed animals everywhere, it’s like a Tokyo store. I’m very social, I love to meet new people and I’m usually very talkative! I’m never afraid to approach someone if I think they’re interesting and want to strike up a conversation.

    2

    SimplySxy: Do you have any hobbies?

    Emily: I honestly think my favorite hobby is going out to eat LOL that sounds so terrible but it’s true. My friends and I love going to new restaurants and trying different places. We eat out almost every day! I am very picky, but I always find something on the menu I end up loving!

    SimplySxy: Are you more of a lingerie or bikini girl?  

    Emily: Lingerie! I don’t go to the beach very often because wet sand is gross. Lingerie is always good. I always feel good when my underwear looks good, even though no one sees it!

    SimplySxy: What is the naughtiest thing you have ever done?

    Emily: Haha wouldn’t all the readers love to know? But I guess this stays between me and my boyfriend hehe.

    SimplySxy: Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions on SimplySxy, Emily. Before we end, how do you define “sexy”?

    Emily: To me, a person is sexy when they have confidence. The way they carry themselves shows way more than what they’re wearing (or not wearing). Girls (and boys) don’t always need to show skin to be sexy. I believe people can be sexy in sweats and a tee! It’s all about your attitude.
