Hey there! I’m Claire and I’m a freelance model as well as a fashion and lifestyle content creator based in Singapore! I look intimidating at first sight but I’m the total opposite when you get to know me.
I’m always on the go looking for new adventures and meeting new people. I absolutely love fashion, travelling, good food and alcohol, and a killer pair of boots!
Do you have any hobbies or interests?
Definitely! I have a quite a few hobbies but my favorite hobby would be singing, so you’ll find me hitting the karaoke with my friends/ recording covers with them in my free time.
Otherwise you’ll find me doodling or busy creative shooting somewhere. I’ve recently taken an interest to cheerleading in the last few years so I’ll pop down time to time to work on stunts with my cheerleading friends.
What inspires your fashion style?
I would say my fashion style is inspired by a mix of K-pop fashion, high fashion and street styles. To put it together simply, it has that edginess and classiness while retaining that youthfulness and cheekiness.
More or less, I would say my style could closely be described as the LA street style as I take a lot of inspiration from LA style influencers.
Which beauty products do you use regularly?
I have to admit, I’m not a huge beauty/makeup fanatic and I’m absolutely lazy so I’m pretty minimal when it comes to makeup unless I have a big night out. My regular beauty products would be the usual foundation, powder, blush, eyebrow pencil (really important!!), highlighter (gotta sparkle like the sun hunny!) and the occasional mascara (if we’re feeling extra).
For my skincare routine, I like to keep it quick and simple: Toner, essence, serum, rosehip oil (an absolute skincare savior) and sunscreen. Pop on the occasional masks on the weekend and we’re good to go!
How will you describe a typical day like for yourself?
I’m currently in my last year of study in the National University of Singapore so my weekdays are pretty much swarmed with classes from morning to evening. However, on the weekends, that’s where the real fun begins – I’m mostly shooting on the weekends or partying/chilling with friends.
Is there a place or city you have always wanted to travel to for a visit?
Definitely, one of the places that has been on my bucket list for the longest time is the Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia which is absolutely stunning after a rainfall, because the entire salt flat transforms into a giant mirror. The reflection of the sky on the salt flats is a sight that is unbelievably beautiful and out of this world.
Do you believe in any superstition?
Not really, I’m not one for superstitions or horoscopes. I believe that nothing governs your life but your own choices, thus you make your own destiny.
What is an ideal first date to you?
Wow, that’s a really tough question. I guess an ideal first date for me would be one filled with lots of laughter, good food and alcohol, along with a fun activity that my date and I could bond over to get to know each other better!
Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions Claire. One question before we end, how do you define “sexy”?
To me, being “sexy” isn’t just about looking hot or pretty, but having that confidence and intelligence to own up to who you are and what you do. I think that “sexiness” should be more than just appearances but rather focus more on loving yourself and how you empower others with that confidence and belief in yourself.
I did my first modeling shoot in 2016. My mom gave it to me because I was really insecure because I got bullied. She hoped that through that way she could show me that I’m beautiful. I liked it so much that I did three other shoots back then. I think that in 2017/2018, it actually became something that happened more often. More photographers asked me to shoot with them and well like that, I rolled into that world.
What I love the most about it is the contact between the photographers and the models. I learned a lot from them what I can pass on to others.
What kind of modeling genres are you into?
I actually do everything except nude.
How do you keep up to date with the latest modeling and fashion trends?
Through social media and other photographers and models!
Do you have a favorite cocktail or drink?
I have an favorite cocktail. It’s called purple rain. It’s made with flugel, blue curaçao and 7-up.
Which 3 things do you enjoy doing most in the city you live in?
Going out for drinks, dinner and enjoying the nature around with my friends.
If you could learn anything in this world, what will it be?
Hmmm that’s a difficult question. I never thought about it and I don’t think I have a direct answer for it. But I think if I take the first thing coming up in my mind, it is curing cancer.
What is a cringey or funny attempt a guy has tried to know you?
Thinking that opening a conversation with a dick pick would be a good idea. I blocked him directly.
Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions Juulke. One question before we end, how do you define “sexy”?
Honestly I don’t think sexy has anything to do with looks. In my opinion every size, skin tone, sexuality or whatsoever is sexy in their own way. For me it has to do with personality. And as long as you love yourself, you’re definitely sexy in my eyes!
Hey hey! I’m from Knoxville, Tennessee lived there till I was about 15, then my dad and I moved up to Washington state which is where I currently live. I work as a bikini barista which keeps me busy and I’m also Miss Hot Import Nights Denver 2019.
How did you first get into modeling?
My friend who is a photographer actually got me into modeling. He was at a Hot Import Nights show that was being held in Portland and he told me I should come check it out since he knew I loved cars. I went there not knowing anything about the event and he said my outfit was cute so I should pose with some of the cars.
I ended getting a lot of attention at the show by doing so, so many photographers taking pictures of me posing on/with cars. But honestly didn’t really know what I was doing. The next day I got a message from Hot Import Nights saying that they saw how much attention I got from everyone at the show, and they asked if I wanted to compete on their next event and if I win I would go on tour with them. At first I wasn’t sure, but my boyfriend convinced me to go for it!
So I went to their next show which was in Denver and I won the modeling competition! After that I went on tour with them for their shows in the US and in South Africa which was so much fun and an amazing experience! Ever since I won, I would get photographers hitting me up wanting to shoot.
Which is the most challenging photoshoot you have experienced before?
I’ve not experienced any challenging shoots yet. I know what all my photoshoots will consist of before I agree, so far they’ve all been super fun and come natural to me.
Do you follow a strict beauty and or diet regime?
Absolutely not, I get asked this quite often. I eat whatever I want and I’m not a healthy eater whatsoever! I go to the gym couple times throughout the week not because I have or need to but I enjoy working out mainly for the fun of it.
What hobbies and interests do you have?
I love driving my BMW F13 M6 around. It’s really loud and always have a blast cruising around with other BMWs. I also really enjoy going places that are warm and preferably have a beach. Florida is my absolute favorite!
Is there something in this world you can’t get enough of?
Honestly, laying in my boyfriends arms. He’s so comforting and I feel the happiest when I’m laying on his chest in his arms.
If you could collaborate with anyone past or present, who will it be?
Probably Megan fox because a ton of people have told me when I have black hair we look similar, so I think that’d be fun!
What turns you off on a date?
Someone on their phone constantly.
Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions Laurele. One question before we end, how do you define “sexy”?
Sexy to me is not just a sexy body. In my opinion, it’s also someone who is confident in themselves and has an amazing smile, and also is a respectful person to other people. Like southern hospitality.
This year was really unexpected, but it gave me time to slow down and focus on the most important parts of my life which I’m very grateful for. I had three months of nothing but video call with the person that means the most to me and I felt we grew so much closer even though it absolutely sucked.
The plans I had for this year didn’t take too big of a hit but I have some really cool stuff coming for next year when everything hopefully returns to normal.
Was there a silver lining or something positive that came out of all this for you?
As weird as it’ll sound, lots of things actually. I became very focused on slowing down and working on my own growth spiritually. My relationship grew a lot stronger too as communication for the greater part of quarantine was all we really had. I think a lot of people went through a great period of change and finding themselves and my heart goes out to everyone who endured hardships as this pandemic was at its largest point in the country, you guys are strong!
Do you see any changes to the modeling and acting industry in future or will things go back to the same once normalcy sets in?
As someone who’s been actively a part of the community for 3 1/2 years now, I think it will of course be different but maybe in a positive way. I think this will open up new doors where it might close others as far as the traditional sequences go but I’m very interested to see what’s next.
Are there any projects you have lined for the rest of 2020 and early 2021?
I do have a couple actually! They’re top secret right now though but my hint to you is keep your eyes on my Instagram.
Which movie or TV show did you watch recently and do you recommend it?
Oh yeah *laughs* I watch a lot of movies, anime, everything really. One of my favourite anime’s I’ve watched over and over though is Death Note, it’s cool!
I’ve always been into that darker, mystery, horror kinda vibe when picking shows that interest me so I kind of naturally gravitated towards that one when I first saw it. I highly recommend it though, 10/10 for sure.
How many tattoos do you have and is there a story behind one of them?
I have 9 tattoos (I just counted my half sleeve as one) and yes, there is a story behind every one of them. Typing it would be way too long but if you know me, ask and maybe I’ll tell you.
Do you believe in any superstition?
I believe in a lot of what would be called “superstitions” because I’m very spiritual and I believe the reason things happen aren’t just because they happened but definitely for a higher purpose, whatever that purpose may mean to that person.
I believe in karma, that’s real without a doubt and seeing like, number sequences multiple times too. I always know my angels are looking over me and guiding me.
Before we end, do you have any shoutouts or final thoughts to your fans and our readers?
My final thoughts to end this on are, you’re all so strong and important. This pandemic for wherever you are in the world will not be forever and I’m sending all my love to the people who’ve really gone through it and possibly still are.
I know once this pandemic passes, life will be different for all of us affected but let’s continue supporting and caring about each other like it never stopped. I also wanted to say the BLM movement has brought justice for so many and to keep fighting until we have justice for all. This turn of the century has brought so much big change, so let’s keep it going as a community.
Follow the talented and beautiful Rachael Sofia on:
I used to be a make up artist. One time a model was absent from the shooting so the photographer asked me to replace the model to help them. It turned out it was really fun and the photos were lovely. That’s how I started my first shooting and I was only 16.
Do you follow a beauty regime to look so gorgeous?
My regime for beauty is sleeping before 12am. I am a vegetarian because I love animals and wanna save the environment, and of course it makes you healthier.
Where do you get your fashion inspiration from?
My fashion inspiration is my mum. She’s a very fashionable person and her silhouette is great. I love simple things, curves and black and white are my favourite.
Which 3 things do you love doing most in the city you live in?
I love shopping, sauna, and walking in nature.
On a scale of 1-10, how much of a foodie are you?
I’d rate myself 10 out of 10 for being a foodie definitely although I look skinny but I absolutely love to eat and eat a lot! LOL.
If you can learn anything in this world, what will it be?
If I can learn one thing in this world it would be speaking fluent French. Because I think French sounds beautiful and elegant.
What is a funny or lame attempt a guy has tried to know you?
One day a dude in a bar came to me and asked for my number. He said he was single and wanted to be friends but then his girlfriend showed up behind him and he got a steamy slap from her lol.
Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions Sophia. One question before we end, how do you define “sexy”?
“Sexy” is the way how you carry yourself, those body movement says a lot about a person also being Intelligent is a new sexy!
Lights, fantasy action, a virtual reality, you could make your fantasy come true as a model and actress. I am a New York City transplant and I love Hollywood so much.
I am an exhibitionist who enjoys letting go and being able to make love to the camera. In acting, I also use the character to play with my senses. Usually, I do play more colorful parts, but it’s all in the role. I am very open-minded living in Hollywood. It’s incredible the way fantasy turns into reality here. I found the world needs entertainment to relax, enjoy, and unwind. I love that experience in all my work.
I enjoy all my senses. It’s so important to me being sensual from the feel of silk on my skin, or touching a great piece of furniture, or having the sensation of fizzing champagne on my tongue.
Moving Up In My Career As A Model & Actress
I am a published professional model and card-carrying actress. I’m someone who you will find is a chameleon, comfortable in any setting. Currently, I am California-based but travel worldwide, a perfectionist who believes in being the very best; that’s why my name is Tiffany Champagne.
Being an elite private lingerie model with a zest for life, I celebrate every chance I get. What a time I’ve been having. I love to explore your innermost thoughts and secrets. Not only those that come to fruition on specific anniversaries and birthdays but ones for just the celebrating when needed.
I was privileged to be able to pose for some of the most famous photographers globally and having a mainstream resume with credits includes the following:
The covers of LAVISHLY Style Magazine, S&G Magazine, Stare Magazine.
Cover Girl: Body Rocking Magazine, Theeroticarts Magazine, Dreamvixens Magazine, Body Rocking Magazine, Fievre, Plus Morgan Taylor Jewelry, Fredericks of Hollywood Lingerie, Secret’s in Lace, Travel to Catalina (film), General Hospital (television), Bobbie Brooks Swimwear, Boudoir Photography (film and fashion), In Search of Marilyn (Japanese movie), Everything Goes (television), Young and Restless (television), Acupressure Technique (film), Arco Magazine and many more.
For acting, I studied the Meisner technique and Stanislavski. I find one has to combine them. My acting coach said: “It’s best not to be boring; people enjoy watching a character, either a bitch or a dumb blonde“. I learn from doing and making it fun. However, my acting career was interrupted by personal issues. My then boyfriend was very demanding of my time and lifestyle.
Unfortunately, under stress, I took his advice. But in life, one has to live with the idea of what one tries to do and experience. I feel knowing your utmost wants and desires is the key to more happiness and a sense of accomplishment.
How I Got Started Into Modeling & Acting
I started in New York City, where I grew up. My girlfriends were beautiful, very sophisticated and they were models. We all grew up very fast in New York. It is a city that doesn’t sleep. My girlfriends were from upper-class families. Some went to become big names in the modeling world, which I can’t mention.
They had very wealthy parents. I was a teen, but I was soaking all this in. It was my dream life. I was hanging out with beautiful models, going ice-skating in Rockefeller Center, shopping with them in Bloomingdales. Then it was suggested I visited their agency. I was accepted. I discovered a fascinating and creative world. I fell in love with art of Andy Warhol, Picasso, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec and Henri Matisse. What a classy and exciting life to see at a young age, and I experienced it. It makes one very polished but I didn’t dare tell my parents. They weren’t hip on me modeling with a big agency.
But in New York, a fashion capital, the kids grow up fast. We went to clubs with phony IDs, and my girlfriends were part of the jet set life. It was a fascinating and spoiled life.
I loved doing photoshoots wearing heavy eye makeup and those fashionable clothes when I was size one, very thin. My makeup ruined my mother’s towels, and she’d yell at me.
My mom was very shocked and said she felt the blonde hair and make-up was too much glamour for a young girl. But that’s advertising. It needs to stand out and make a statement; it’s called fashion. But I remember it was such a thrill.
My family moved to Los Angeles. My dad, a consulting engineer, was needed for a new project here. That’s when I went into the glamour, modeling, and acting.
My figure is more curvaceous and sexy. I began to model for glamour in lingerie and bikini. The attention I get and the flirtatious attitude of men turns me on. It’s great knowing I am desired and admired.
As I said, I studied the Miesner technique for acting. I am a very liberal thinker. During that time, I started to model for Playboy Models and they gave me a lot of assignments. They took me for print and video.
Going to the Playboy Manson was a lot of fun, and the Parties were incredible like the Mid Summer Dream and New Years’ Eve Celebrations. And the Easter Egg Hunt where all the beautiful models were looking for Prize Eggs.
I met a well-known ladies man at the Mansion and he was a famous film star, and he changed my name to Tiffany Champagne as I drank a lot of Champagne in the Playboy Mansion and wore a lot of Tiffany jewelry. One day he said, let me show you around. My girlfriend was with me, and we both went to some of the beautiful grounds at the Mansion.
This charismatic actor took me into the monkey’s cage, and we started kissing, and I must admit now I know why he was so popular with the ladies, what incredible skills! My girlfriend was watching and just stood there in disbelief. It was a lot of fun, wild monkeys just flying around, in the cage, how fun!
Another well-known blonde celebrity with whom I was in love introduced me to a famous dominatrix. I soon found out all about fetish studies and human sexuality and started to know about BDSM.
I was very impressed by the Dom’s fantastic figure and her beautiful outfits of leather corsets. He wanted me to do Fetish Play and learn. I soon found myself joining in the fun. She came out in an extraordinary leather corset outlining her cures of her figure. She modeled her leather and vinyl outfits and fantastic shoes. We did some very erotic experiences. Such as roleplay and different fetishes. It’s a totally different world of kink.
She had items like handcuffs, feather dusters, and exfoliating mittens in her suitcase. She soon blindfolded this blonde handsome man and started rubbing these items on his back with a massage. I was totally into it. And at the end, we put ice cream on him with me licking it off (wink).
It was quite the BDSM educational experience. There is something always new and exciting to learn.
What An Ideal Date Is To Me
I adore nice people, including shy men. But I do have a big spirit of adventure and very big love to travel. I love traveling by request for dates.
Well, I’m totally spoiled by a movie star life. My dates take me to the best restaurants and shopping. It’s hard to beat that. Since I am romantic, I do love all those things and I specialize in longer engagements and have been invited to different events at times as someone’s girlfriend or secretary. Since I do acting, I blend into many situations in life and companionship.
I am a chameleon. I love the excitement and that’s my adventurous side. … “Wink”
Challenges In This Industry
I would say keep being the best I could be and knowing the latest trends in fashion and sexuality. I’m constantly keeping updated on different situations and styles coming into fashion. I also read plenty of self-help books and about sexual curiosity such as: The Art of Zen, The Best Sacred Society, The Art of Tantra, Positions for Kama Sutra, Fifty Shades of Grey, I am Curious, The Book-Bondassage, Art and Healing, Finding Your Artistic Voice, etc.
Life is short, and we need to make it as exciting as possible. I live each day and make it as exciting as possible within the safe limits.
Is Society Becoming More Open Minded?
Yes, people are becoming very open-minded; and society is changing. It’s definite.
Yes, most people want change and equality, like the different movements, we are seeing. Los Angeles is a big cannabis state and there are lines for its use now that it’s perfectly legal. Of course, years ago it wasn’t. Society changes as there is a great deal of need for stress relief. We, as people, can go through a lot of that stress in our daily lives. The health care workers, doctors and nurses are on the front lines currently, as are food delivery people. It reminds me of the film “The Gladiator”, we are all gladiators in this time of stress.
We all need to have hope for a brighter day. Like the saying goes, there is always light at the end of the tunnel, and maybe a rainbow.
Advice For Aspiring Models
I would suggest getting the correct agent for the look you represent. Also, pose with as many accomplished photographers, even if they are just starting. You’ll still get the practice for your craft.
Get enrolled in acting an established acting school where you identify with the technique.
I do hope this Covid-19 situation passes soon. And everyone gets life back to normal. In the meantime, please enjoy my website: https://www.tiffanychampagne.com and check out my modeling photos on my site.

I always wake up naturally around 8am (yes I know it’s crazy) and then I sleep again until 10am, so that’s when my day actually starts.

I work from home so I’ll get lunch and work until about 5/6 pm, then after I’ll either hit up one of my friends for dinner/drinks or I’ll just binge watch scary movies and make food at home! I’m obsessed with anything scary.

Sexy is a state of mind. It’s all about inner AND outer confidence! Being sexy means you truly love yourself and you’re not afraid to embrace your sensuality. When you think you’re sexy, everyone else sees it too! Embrace your inner goddess.
SimplySxy catches up with dancer and model Karilyn Villarini as she talks about fashion, her beauty regime and what turns her off on a date!
What inspires your fashion style?
What inspires my fashion style for the most part is what I feel comfortable and beautiful in. A lot of life I was insecure about how my body looked in certain clothing and let it close my mind to express myself through clothing. Now, I am more open minded and like to try new looks. What usually drives my choice of wardrobe depends on what look I am trying to go for either for a photoshoot or music video.
How do you keep up to date with all the latest fashion styles and trends?
I do enjoy keeping up with fashion styles and trends that are tasteful to me but I never force anything that isn’t me. I do get inspired by many fellow dancers, models, and friends!
What is the best compliment you have received?
The best compliment I have received would be that my aura and vibe lights up the room before my looks. I received this compliment on set and it warmed my heart! I try to always give out what I want around me.
Do you have a strict beauty or exercise regime that you follow?
Hmm… as far as beauty regime, the only strict thing about it would be my skincare and haircare. I religiously use my origins facial products. The hair product line I use is CURLS. I try to keep up with deep conditioning and protective styles to help my natural hair look healthier.
My exercise regime isn’t as strict as it previously was but I generally work out about 3 times a week not including dance training. Again, this may fluctuate due to work or gigs but for the most part I try to maintain my figure by staying active!
If you could have a superpower, what will it be?
If I had a superpower it would be to teleport. I would love to be able to travel from CT to NYC/LA whenever I want 😉 !!!
Do you believe in any superstition?
I always believed that my ears rang whenever someone else was talking about me.
What turns you off on a date?
What would turn me off on a date would be, 1) being rude to the waitress, 2) being on your phone the entire time, and 3) letting me pay my tab if I was invited and taken out (especially if it’s the first time!).
Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions Karilyn. One question before we end, how do you define “sexy”?
The definition of “sexy” is however anybody wants to define it as it pertains to them. Personally my definition of “sexy” for ME is feeling empowered, confident, and beautiful especially while expressing it through my art/craft.
Thank you for the opportunity to feature me over at SimplySxy! I’m Shannon and I’m a Catalogue Model and a beauty and lifestyle content creator based in Singapore, all whilst pursuing my Bachelors in Journalism and Public Relations.
What inspired you to be a model?
Prior to modelling, I was a DJ playing sets at local clubs and festivals. One day I was approached by a modelling scout if I would be receptive to being represented by their agency. I’ve always wanted to do modelling so I signed with them for a duration of two years and that’s how my modelling career pretty much kickstarted.
Which is a memorable photoshoot you have done before that you enjoyed every minute of it?
It was actually a magazine cover shoot for a local automotive magazine and that was actually my first paid modelling gig! At that time, I was still new to the modelling industry and I didn’t know how to pose and work my angles. I felt really conscious of myself as well as facing ‘imposter syndrome’. But the clients and team believed in me, and I felt myself feeling more and more comfortable on set and eventually I felt confident in myself as well.
If there is one thing that you could improve about the modeling industry, what will it be?
Stereotyping that models are supposed to be tall. For modelling, gigs that requires models to be tall are usually on the runway, fashion showcases and maybe editorial as well. I’m standing at a height of 167cm and often I get skeptical looks when I mentioned that I model as well. However, in other areas of modelling such as in commercials, prints, catalogues etc there isn’t really any height requirement for it.
What are 3 fun things you like to do in the city you live in?
Ice skating, virtual reality gaming and yachting.
How is a typical day like for yourself?
Getting dressed to create contents for my social media, heading out for castings, meeting sponsors, attending evening classes, having dinner with my family and working on my assignments.
Which flavor best describes you?
Sweet and salty popcorn.
What is a funny pickup line or attempt someone has tried on you?
“Are you a parking ticket? Because you’ve got fine written all over you.”
Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions Shannon. One question before we end, how do you define “sexy”?
Sexy to me is having confidence but not being cocky. Being intelligent but at the same time, socially aware. And of course, humor!
