Ana R, supermodel, actress and blogger in Hong Kong

Tall, beautiful and owner of modelling agency Model One, Ana R has done a ton of modelling work. Appearing in events and fashion shows to gracing the covers of top magazines, this Hong Kong beauty is not slowing down anytime soon. SimplySxy catches up with Ana to find out more.

SimplySxy: Hi Ana, thanks for taking the time to speak with us. Do share with our readers your ethnicity and how you came to reside in Hong Kong.

Ana: I’m Half Korean and Half Puerto Rican. My dad was stationed in Korea and met my mom on a blind date. Well kind of a blind date. Koreans are old school about dating and you can’t go on a date alone so my mom’s friend asked her to join her and my dad’s friend did the same. I’m the first mix on either side of the family and ended up in HK after many years of travelling like most models do. Living out of your suitcase and moving from city to city every 2 to 3 months. I started in Paris at the age of 14. I came to Asia at the age of 20.

SimplySxy: How did you get into modeling?

Ana: My mom put me into modelling school as it’s something to do on the weekends so I won’t start dating. Yep thats right. Mom was worried I would end up like most girls at my school at the time. In a gang or having kids at the age of 13. Lets just say I did not fit into my surroundings. And my mom did everything from working 3 jobs and to keep me busy and out of everyday problems that was around where we lived. It just was not a safe place.

SimplySxy: As the founder and co-owner of Modelone, can you share a tip for aspiring models out there who are looking for that breakthrough?

Ana: I started Modelone with 2 other partners. The name Modelone comes from just having one model, just myself. As we grow to being one of the top 10 agencies in HK, I’ve become a little more relaxed about mentioning I’m the owner of the agency. My biggest worry is that people would not see that I look at it as a business and put my heart and soul into the company just as my partners have. so it was always best to keep it low key. I started up Modelone to help models and to help them get to their dreams. When I started out as a model I did not have anyone to help me and had to learn most of the stuff on my own. It was not easy. I love being the big sister of Modelone. and I love to see the girls grow and blossom to amazing women. We are like a family style agency.

SimplySxy: What is your fashion style?

Ana: My style is a little street and a little chic. Coming from a poor background, I learned to make things my own style by taking 2 dresses and putting them together to make a whole new one of kind dress. (My mom also was a seamstress so I picked up a lot of tricks from her) And shopping at markets and 2nd hand stores was lots of fun for me. And as a kid, I was so thin and tall nothing fitted me so my mom would always have to change something around so it would fit. I do love my high end brands but more for bags and shoes, for all my basic stuff, I get H&M and Zara or Top Shop.

SimplySxy: Do you have any interesting hobbies?

Ana: I love cooking. Always looking for fun new recipe to try. I also love to sew so that keeps me busy. Also looking at things in the market to see what I can add to change in a outfit. Taking care of my dogs. I have 3. Gucci (14) Angel (8) Lilly (10 months) Gucci and Angel are Mini Schnauzer and Lilly is a Mix German Shepard. (Adopted Lilly last year at the Hong Kong Dog Rescue).

SimplySxy: Have you ever had a bad kissing experience?

Ana: I think we all have had a bad kissing experience. I don’t really remember mine. As it was a very long time ago.

SimplySxy: What is your idea of a romantic date?

Ana: Easy! A dinner at home with my husband and he does all the dishes after the meal. LOL! I love going to the sushi bar. I think it’s the best place to take a date for 3 reasons. 1) You are siting next to each other (Who wouldn’t like that on a date. Most dining, you are sitting across form each other) 2) It’s all about sharing your food. Most dishes comes with 2 pieces or are designed for sharing. 3) Siting at the sushi bar is pretty quiet so you can have a conversation with your date. (And yes if you’re not into sushi, you can order cooked food at the bar as well. My husband is not a fan of sushi but he loves other dishes).

SimplySxy: Thank you for your time out Ana and before we end off, how do you define “sexy”?

Ana: Sexy to me is something you feel on the inside. If you feel sexy on the inside, no matter what you wear or where you are, it will shine out of you. I sometimes love to have dirty thoughts to get that sexy smile when I’m at a shoot. I find it really funny how so many people think dressing sexy is what makes you sexy. Sexy is a feeling and we all have it.

Thien Ngyuen – CLEO Bachelor 2014

Handsome, with a super-fit physique and great personality, Thien Nguyen is the guy all ladies want to bring home to mom. Winning CLEO magazine’s Bachelor of the Year 2014 has certainly thrust this Australian personal trainer into the spotlight in the past few months and we’re delighted to ask Thien a few questions to get to know him better!

SimplySxy: Hey Thien, it’s a fantastic opportunity for us to interview you on SimplySxy. Please share with our readers a little about yourself and where you’re from.

Thien: I am Vietnamese but was born and raised in Australia. I currently live in Sydney and work as a Personal Trainer/Martial Arts instructor running my own business, Hard Personal Training at Dong Thanh Alliance Martial Arts.

SimplySxy: Being crowned Cleo Australia’s Bachelor of the Year 2014 is a massive achievement. Has a lot changed for you since winning the title?

Thien: It is definitely a highlight of my life! I became an ambassador for Lenovo since then and have been given opportunities with agencies to further my modelling/acting career. Other than that, I am the same person with some nicer clothes and a more trendy haircut!

SimplySxy: You must be even more attention from the ladies. Do you get a lot of request from females requesting to be their personal trainer?

Thien: It is funny how I got more female attention after winning Cleo Bachelor. It may have been all a co-incidence? Haha. I get a lot of request to train models/actors that want to make it in the industry. I can’t complain. Loving it!

SimplySxy: What are some fitness tips you can share to achieve that amazing body like yours?

Thien: Eat well and train hard. Avoid the 3 white poisons in your diet; Salt, sugar and flour. Remember, it is 80% diet and 20% training to achieve that sexy body!

SimplySxy: Have you gotten any weird or odd requests from female fans?

Thien: Nothing too weird, yet. A female fan offered to be my Vietnamese tutor and others just asked for a selfie because they were in love with my smile.

SimplySxy: What type of girls are you into?

Thien: I am attracted to girls that a down to earth, ambitious and with just the right amount of independence. Girls that enjoy adventure and aren’t afraid to get their hands dirty tick my boxes.

SimplySxy: Your idea of a romantic date?

Thien: I envisage a candlelit dinner on a yatch or at least overlooking the city lights with a violinist playing my date her favourite song. A romantic stroll by the beach would follow ending with the two of us enjoying each others company whilst gazing at the stars. I must have seen this in a movie somewhere! lol

SimplySxy: We appreciate you taking your time to answer our questions Thien. One last questions before we end off, how do you define “sexy”?

Thien: Having the confidence to be true and express yourself without the fear of judgement.

Molly Truong, the hottest Entrepreneur, Mother and Gamer!

It’s not everyday you get to meet someone who is of Vietnamese, Chinese, Spanish, German, Puerto Rican and Irish ethnicity. Put the best of them together and you get the gorgeous Molly Truong, whose beauty matches her business acumen, running both the very successful Hot Import Nights and Fun Nights Out entertainment companies. Constantly ranked as one of the hottest import models in the industry, Molly is one beautiful lady you can’t take your eyes off after setting them on her.

SimplySxy: Hi Molly, thank you for this opportunity to interview you on SimplySxy. Please share with us how you got into modeling?

Molly: It’s an honor to be considered for an interview! I got into modeling about 3–4 years ago when I was approached by a student photographer to be her test subject. Shortly after doing a couple of shoots with her, I noticed an ad from Prestigious Models and decided to submit myself. Next thing I know, I got accepted into the agency and quickly started networking to build my portfolio.

SimplySxy: What will you say has really changed about yourself since you started in the industry?

Molly: First off, I became a mother. Second, I would definitely say my business etiquette. I came into the industry as a freshman/sophomore studying International Business and Computer Science.

SimplySxy: You never fail to look amazing in all your photos. Is there a secret to looking so fantastic?

Molly: Being comfortable and confident is key, but definitely being on the same level of understanding with the photographer on the concept you’re trying to portray. I work with only a handful of photographers because I trust their skills and they’re supportive of any new ideas I throw at them. Other than that, I try to stay healthy so that my skin and figure don’t need retouching or editing. I’m not a fan of photoshop and like for my fans to see the real me. If there is any editing done on me, it’s mostly to remove a bruise I’ve attained from running into something! I’m incredibly clumsy.

SimplySxy: What makes a guy stand out to you?

Molly: I’m off the market, but what had attracted me to my man was his nurturing nature, kindness and interest in understanding me. I would constantly drive solo between NorCal and SoCal and he would always want to come along with to keep my company and to ensure I wouldn’t get into an accident. I was shocked someone would want to sit there for 5–7 hours per trip and spend that entire time talking to me and sharing our thoughts on certain ideas about the world. Our conversations range from music, life experiences, to the existence of Annunaki. I’m a huge SciFi nerd, so the fact that anyone wanted to sit there and talk about aliens for hours was pretty impressive.

SimplySxy: Your biggest sexual turn off?

Molly: Brains! I’m not easily impressed, but the depth of someone’s intelligence is always something to admire, whether it’s a turn on or not. With that being said, I’m more than happy with my partner’s gray matter!

SimplySxy: What do you think is your hottest asset?

Molly: My confidence and business skills. I have no fears and can generally pitch any crazy idea and make it happen. Physically, I believe my lips and my eyes are quite entrancing, or so I’ve been told.

SimplySxy: How will you describe your fashion style if you’re looking for a sexy night out?

Molly: I’m more of a home body, so my typical sexy night involves wearing sweats from the H&M mens’ department! For a fun night out, I’m extremely conservative so I’ll switch it up between urban and cocktail dresses. I have meetings throughout the day and evening, so my wardrobe tends to be multi-functional from fashionable corporate to instant night out attire.

SimplySxy: It has been a great pleasure to feature you on SimplySxy. Please tell us how you define “Sexy”.

Molly: I define “sexy” as being able to exude confidence and portraying yourself in the most empowering way. I don’t believe it to be just a physical portrayal, like stripping down to your skivvies. I feel that people tend to be drawn to those who have a direction in life, the passion to achieve their goals, and ability to believe in themselves because it evokes something from within that sparks either admiration or inspiration. There’s nothing sexier than a woman or man that takes life by the horns and helps others to achieve that same mentality. Thank you so much for featuring me!

Pinky Chiu reveals her sexy romantic getaway choice

Pinky Chiu is one of the contestants of Miss Hong Kong Diva 2015 which takes place tonight. SimplySxy takes this opportunity to get her thoughts on it, her favourite body part and her idea of a romantic getaway.

SimplySxy: Hi Pinky, thank you for taking the time for this interview on SimplySxy. Can you tell us about yourself and where you’re from?

Pinky: Thanks for your invitation. I’m Pinky from Hong Kong and I just started my career in modelling. As I am still new to the industry, I am learning to be more out-going and build up my confidence as I go along.

SimplySxy: You’re a contestant of Miss Hong Kong Diva 2015. Please share with us more about this contest.

Pinky: Miss Hong Kong Diva 2015 is a competition looking for women who exude great style and personality with confidence, and having the change to express their own style without letting others influence who they are or who they should be.

SimplySxy: What’s your beauty regime like and what are your must have beauty products?

Pinky: My skin is sensitive, so I rarely use skin care products and makeup. Only if makeup is necessary, the cleansing step would be the most important and lotion which contains sheep placenta extract are my favourite and it is also good for dry weather.

SimplySxy: How would you define your personal dress style?

Pinky: Simple and neatly dressed. My clothes are usually of one colour and I love one piece clothing such as dresses. They are easy to carry and there isn’t a need to spend too much time to mix and match which is not my fancy.

SimplySxy: What do you love most about being a model?

Pinky: Before becoming a model, I was feeling inferior to everyone and inconspicuous. Modelling has made me sure of myself, I receive a lot of encouragement from people who praise me for my modelling. And, I have also become more talkative haha.

SimplySxy: Which is the favourite part of your body?

Pinky: My waist. I always have firm abs even if I seldom do exercise and don’t diet . Haha.

SimplySxy: If you had a choice of a sexy romantic getaway, what will it be?

Pinky: Candlelight dinners are not my type of romance. I prefer warmth, lying in bed in my lover’s arm, whispering to each other and then letting things happened.

SimplySxy: Thank you for the interview Pinky and all the best for Miss Diva 2015. One last questions before we end off, how do you define “sexy”?

Pinky: Sexy doesn’t mean having to be scantily or curvaceous. It’s more about your temperament and virtue. It’s hard to “see” it but just be confident and elegant.

Helena Chan, sexy celebrity model and TV host from HongKong

Meet the stunning Helena Chan, TV host, designer, and professional model who represented Hong Kong in Asia’s Next Top Model Cycle 1. Half Swedish and half Chinese, this exotic, stylish celebrity beauty has been on the cover of top fashion magazines, walked down the runway in multiple fashion shows and has even launched her own shoe collection. Read the interview with Helena and the amazing photographs she has provided which we simply can’t get enough of!

SimplySxy: Hi Helena it’s a great pleasure to interview you on SimplySxy. You’ve gone from being a contestant on Asia’s Next Top Model in 2012 to one of the most recognisable faces now, hosting TV shows being and on the cover of fashion magazines. Tell us something about yourself that most of your fans wouldn’t expect.

Helena: One thing I think my fans don’t know about me is that I am pretty shy and find it hard to open up to new people. It takes a while before I feel comfortable being myself around someone I have just met.

SimplySxy: What’s something a guy can do to get your attention?

Helena: I think that kindness goes a long way. If a guy is kind and polite they instantly get my attention. There is nothing worse than a guy who is trying too hard to be cool, haha it’s a big turn off.

SimplySxy: Worst pick up line you’ve heard?

Helena: The worst pick up line would have to be this one time I was at a bar with my girlfriend having some drinks. This guy came up to me, stood in-between me and my friend (with his back to her) in mid conversation and asked me the strangest question. He asked “Would you like to see a photo of me topless on my phone?”. I was just stunned, and said no thanks, picked up my drink and moved to a table with my friend.

SimplySxy: You’ve shot some fantastic bikini and lingerie photos. What is your favourite lingerie you can’t do without?

Helena: I love lingerie, and hope one day to have the chance to design my own collection. One item I can’t live without is my favourite strapless black lace bra. It’s so comfortable and looks good under anything! I even wear it as a top sometimes with high waisted skirts and a simple jacket.

SimplySxy: Favourite part of your body?

Helena: My favourite body part are my legs. I never seem to gain weight on my legs, they are always long & slim.

SimplySxy: What is the sexiest/craziest thing you’ve ever done?

Helena: The craziest thing I have ever done is work for a year as a dancer in a burlesque club. I loved working there and dancing for an audience, it really gave me confidence and I felt empowered as a women.

SimplySxy: Do you have any exciting projects in the pipeline for 2015 which you like to share with our readers?

Helena: 2015 is going to be a crazy year for me. I am developing my shoe collection further and organising a launch event. (The Helena Chan Collection is now available at www.sleeh.com) I am also going to be travelling all over Asia modelling as well as working on a pitch for my very own TV show. I love to keep busy.

SimplySxy: Thank you very much for the interview opportunity Helena. Before we go, we like to know how you define “sexy”.

Helena: There is nothing sexier than a person who had a good sense of humour. You can defiantly laugh a girl in to bed no matter what you look like, haha!

Kyla Gray, knockout combination of beauty and brains

Kyla Gray is a Korean model who has been living in America her whole life. Multi-talented, lending her support for a non-profit organisation dealing with depression and with a strong interest in Political Science, Kyla takes her time out to answer our questions with this gorgeous beauty.

SimplySxy: Hi Kyla, thank you for being on SimplySxy. We can’t help but notice the amazing photo that you have on your website. Could you share with us your secret to looking so effortless chic in photoshoots?

Kyla Gray: I think it’s a mixture of a few thing. One, a good photographer. Two, being comfortable in front of the camera. Cameras take honest shots and they can see right through you. Three, a lot of takes! I will take hundreds of photos in one session and we will use 10-20 photos!

SimplySxy: Being brought up in an Irish-Italian family in New Jersey must have been a most interesting experience. How has this unique upbringing shaped your perspective in life?

Kyla: I owe my family everything in life. They’ve shaped me to be a strong, independent, free thinking, open minded, hard working individual. They helped me see the weaknesses in other people and how not to let them define who I am. They have taught me love and how to appreciate life. With me, the glass is always half full; I can see the good in any situation.

SimplySxy: As a seasoned and versatile artist, could you share with us some of your most challenging projects and gigs?

Kyla: I think each project I take on has it’s own challenges. Trying to produce new photos can be hard. I have the figure of a “Maxim” model so if I want to expand out of that.. it can be fairly difficult. I also feel that as an Asian-American woman trying to break into the bigger projects in New York City, the competition is real.

SimplySxy: Taking a break from one’s acting career may sometimes be a risky move. What was your main pull factor for doing so in 2004 and are there any particular reasons for choosing to major in Political Science?

Kyla: I was in high school and wanted a social life back. I would go straight from school into the city for auditions, back home to do homework and then I’d go to bed and do it all over again. I remember I had to arrive to summer camp two days late because I was filming something. It’s difficult being so young and having such a complex lifestyle. I was also involved in gymnastics, voice lessons and acting lessons. It was a lot. Political Science intrigues me and I loved learning about it. I studied Middle Eastern politics primarily and still would love to visit some of the areas over there.

SimplySxy: Every girl has something she can’t live without in her wardrobe. What is yours?

Kyla: Black leggings. You can wear them with anything, dress them up or down. I feel this should be a staple in any woman’s closet!

SimplySxy: Do you have any upcoming projects in the pipeline which you like to share with our readers?

Kyla: Yes! For the month of February I am donating 50% of the proceeds being sold at kylagray.bigcartel.com to a non-profit called the You Rock Foundation. It deals with depression; it’s estimated that nearly 20 million people are affected by depression within the US… that’s just the US, nevermind throughout the world. I am selling one-of-a-kind items this time around, so anything people buy will be truly special.

SimplySxy: One last question before we sign off. As Miss COED for the month of February 2014, how do you define sexy?

Kyla: Being beautiful inside and out.

Find out more about Kyla and her amazing photos on her website ilovekylagray.com and follow her on facebook, tumblr, instagram and twitter!

Ali Le — The Sexy Model from LA

Ali Le shares on SimplySxy, her secret to looking fantastic, favourite type of lingerie and her definition of sexy.

SimplySxy: Hi Ali, thank you for being on SimplySxy. How did you get into modelling?

Ali Le: Hi guys! Thank you for having me. 🙂 I actually started modeling children’s products in Asia when I was young. After moving to LA, I realized my passion for it—specifically for print. I have so much fun telling a picture story through facial expressions and body language!

SimplySxy: Share with our readers about your secret to looking so fantastic. What’s your beauty regime like?

Ali: I like to think that I eat pretty healthy, minus my weekly cheat day. Lots of fresh fruits and veggies are really important. I usually like to start my day off with a smoothie. Saunas and steam rooms are really good for your skin. As is green tea! I definitely do drink more green tea than the average human being, and I never ever wear make-up to bed.

SimplySxy: What is your dream modeling gig?

Ali: Hm … that’s a tough one. I think my goal would be to have a spread or a cover in an international FHM or a Maxim. I would also love if the gig was in an exotic location!

SimplySxy: You must have a lot of suitors asking you out. What tips can you give to guys out there who like to ask a model out and date them?

Ali: Just be yourself! There is nothing I value more than a kindhearted person. Someone with a unique soul. Someone with passion and drive, but also knows how to let loose. Believe me, there are a ton of good looking guys out there but many of them are totally full of themselves. That’s an instant turn off for me.

SimplySxy: Tell us about a modeling moment you will never forget? A fun moment perhaps?

Ali: I recently did a photoshoot with a major woman crush of mine at the SLS hotel in Las Vegas. I was kind of nervous because I’ve never really talked to her before, but she ended up being super sweet. We had so much fun shooting and the pictures came out amazing.

SimplySxy: What is your favourite lingerie?

Ali: I’m going to be honest here, I kind of have a lingerie collection. It has it’s own half of my closet. I love anything from pretty pink babydolls to fiercely lacy outfits with garter belts. You have to change it up!

SimplySxy: Thank you for the interview Ali. Before we end off, how do you define sexy?

Ali: You’re welcome! My definition of sexy is someone with fierce confidence but is like the girl next door. Approachable but kind of a tease. xo
