    Singapore’s Classiest DJ, DJ Debi Lim

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

    I am a proud blueblood of Singapore. Born and raised here and never once regretted it. I am 24 this year and I LOVE ARTS. Meaning practically just the music and dance side, I am not the artsy kind of person when it comes to designing or drawing though. I have done ballet for years since little and Guzheng as-well; a Chinese piano per-se. My love for music and dance never stop since then.

    What made you want to be a DJ?

    When I was little, I remembered how relaxed my Mum would be when I would practice on my Guzheng. I remembered how much she loves it and would to fall asleep; enjoying every bit of it. From that on, I realized that Music itself is magic and never did I know it was my hands that brought relaxation from the instrument through the ears of my Mum. I then thought to myself why not do something even bigger? To even bigger crowds and bring hype to everyone also to get recognize at the same time? Ever since then I always believed that ” It is not about how pretty I am, how sexy I can be or how much make up I have on but how much magic my ears can bring my hands to carry each and every song to deliver to the crowd”.

    Who do you take your inspiration from?

    Definitely, Juicy J and KSMR. I almost died the last Zouk Out because the songs were soooooo good. Trust me, it was the best.

    As the DJ scene is competitive, what makes you unique and different from the other DJs out there?

    Ever since I stepped out right on my own, I have always believed in just one thing. And that one thing made me who I am today. “Never about beauty because beauty is boundless. Never about assets because assets is limitless. BUT MUSIC IS VAST AND IMMEASURABLE” Beauty is just going to have me going for the next 5 years? But music never dies, never ever. Everyone is unique in their ways and so am I. I am Debi and this makes me different; very different.

    If you can collaborate with anyone in this world, who will it be?

    KSHMR! YES PLEASE!

    Do you have any other hobbies?

    Well, Ballet checked! Guzheng checked! I guess the next thing that I love most would to be spending every minute with whatever that I can spare with my loved ones and going on never ending dates with my special someone.

    How much of a foodie are you?

    1-10? I would love to say 11 but I guess 10 will do just fine. Let me share with you this, If I would to have $10 on me, I would spend all $10 on food.

    What is an ideal first date for you? 

    Nothing classy. Nothing heavy. Dinner and booze by the beach I say? Oh and I would love to go for a ride after that.

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

    Confidence. Because confidence is the sexiest thing a woman can wear.

  • Toronto Model Vanessa Russo

    Toronto Model Vanessa Russo

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

    My name is Vanessa Russo, and I am a 21-year-old freelance model from Toronto, Ontario. I am currently also a full-time psychology student at the University of Guelph-Humber. I started modelling about 2 years ago, and I am so grateful for all the incredibly opportunities that I have had because of it! Something that everyone should know about me is that regardless of the serious look that I portray in my photos, in person I am the girl that always has a smile on her face.

    Photo: @torontoontop

    What is your fashion style like?

    Oh jheeez that’s a tough one. I feel like my fashion style is subjective to the occasion. Most days I like to dress in tight-fit clothing because it shows off my body shape. On the other hand, I also have plenty of days where I’ll slap on my brother’s hoodie with a pair of leggings and call it a day.

    Photo: @torontoontop

    Which are your favorite beauty brands and products?

    Also such a hard question because I practically live at Sephora, and there are so many beauty products and brands to love! Some of my favourite products/brands for daily face makeup are: Anastasia Beverly Hills HD Forever Foundation, Urban Decay Naked Weightless Concealer, Laura Mercier Setting Powder, and Benefit Roller Lash Mascara. Buying a Kylie Lipkit is also the best lipstick investment you will ever make because the formula literally lasts all day. My favourite shades for my skin tone are Apricot, Maliboo, Exposed, Candy K, and Dolce.

    What is the funniest thing that has ever happened to you?

    The funniest thing that has ever happened to me is WAY too embarrassing to be published on the internet.. that’s a straight best friend type of secret.

    Photo: @millianphotos

    How much of a foodie are you?

    100% foodie! I literally never stop eating. I have been vegetarian for almost one year now, and I also have the biggest sweet tooth. If you ever hang out with me, you better bring your appetite!

    What kind of movies do you enjoy watching?

    Ok everyone is about to think I’m really weird, but I actually don’t watch movies, or even TV at all. I feel like I don’t have the time to watch someone else live a scripted life when I could be living my own life, you know? I guess if I was forced to watch a movie, it must at least be filled with suspense.

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

    I would love to learn how to speak every language in the world. This way, I could travel the entire world and never feel like an outsider.

    How will you describe an ideal date?

    To me, an ideal date is one that the man takes the time to plan out properly. I hate the, “So what do you wanna do?” kind of guys. Don’t get me wrong, I love putting on a dress and a pair of heels, but these are also not the necessities for a perfect date. My ideal date is one that involves good company, delicious food, and deep conversations at 2 am that lead to sunrise. It doesn’t get any better than that.

    Photo: @marquezmcbride

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

    Why thank you, the pleasure was all mine! Personally, I think that there are no sexier qualities in a person than confidence and ambition. To me, “sexy” means being comfortable in your own skin, being open, yet mysterious, and being motivated to reach your highest possible potential.

  • My Experiences As An Escort

    My Experiences As An Escort

    Honestly, everyone should be having more sex then things would be more at ease with much less stress in our lives. It is a natural wonderful thing. I personally love it.

    How I Began Escorting & Why I Love It

    Oh boy, here we go….haha.

    I inadvertently got started, really did. I went on a sugar baby site and the first person I met, we had an arrangement. We saw each other for 5 months while his start up business started up. Unfortunately, his business never did start up, that was sad for him and me too, I liked him. The next 2 people I met was NOT like what I had initially. I didn’t know any different, and was wondering why are we not having an arrangement and started to question what was going on. Then low and behold I met one other from the sugar site and we did a lot of talking about how when he was younger he was in some very interesting situations and that he got so and so started in the escort biz and she makes blah blah blah. The more he talked the more I listened. I knew about escorts of course, but had NO idea how it actually was right there on the internet, that easy.

    So I went home and googled this woman, got the gist of it and put up some ad.

    The next day he calls and said “Summer what are you doing!” I said, “You did a lot of talking, I did a lot of listening”. He said, “If you are going to do this, you need to do it right” and told me about screening, website, reviews. I was blown away at how organized it all was. He started my review page, left the first one and I was off to the races. Crazy right? See, inadvertently.

    I enjoy how most people treat me, they are very happy to see me and I feel great about that. I learn different things from different people that I would have never learned had I not met them. Some bring gifts as their token of appreciation, so awesome. Some like to treat me like a princess, they go above and beyond. I am always smiling, wouldn’t you be if everyone was in awe of you!

    My Specialties

    Truth be told…my specialty is myself. I am genuine. I never had a game or an act. I was just me from day one and it has worked wonders. How easy it is just to be yourself! MANY, nearly everyone tells me how nice it is to be with someone who is chill and down to earth and can laugh at herself, they always use the word sexy. Pretentious is not me at all. I would be a very bad actress at this life. Just go with the flow, whatever company you may be in, you naturally go with the vibe

    My Off Limits

    I will not rim a man. Never, not happening. Weird, well it is a bit weird to be called mommy and tell him he is a good boy. That is indifferent, and he’s older than me. Regardless of who is older, it is weird. Mostly everything else is just people, with a fetish or fantasy. I love accommodating foot fetishes, that’s my absolute favorite. So far so good.

    How I Prepare To Meet A Client

    Well of course he is already screened and we have a date, time and place set. I always like to keep a tan, so I have a spray tan machine I do at home at least once a week.

    I look great with a tan, makes a difference to me. I always do my makeup and my hair is simple, long straight and blonde. Depending on where we are meeting depends on what I wear. If he is coming to me I am wearing something very sexy to open the door with equally sexy lingerie to match, and always the heels, always. If he had made an outfit request in an email I accommodate that. If I am meeting him out or at his location it is a combo of classic yet sexy, and again, always those heels. What happens is a flow of conversation to get to know one another, perhaps a glass of wine. Always Moscato wine, that is my favorite. I used to like vodka on ice but it catches up quick. Then what happens…. well, a lady never kisses and tells. xoxox

  • Anime & Conspiracy Theory Lover Elysia Marie Brown

    Anime & Conspiracy Theory Lover Elysia Marie Brown

    Hi Elysia 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 am 24 years old, I am from Texas. I have a dog that is the love of my life, she will be the only kid I will ever have, children suck. I love conspiracy theories, anime, and of course working out because I want to look like a superhero, oh and food.

    What is your fashion style?

    I like to either dress like a homeless person or not wear much clothes at all. Or sometimes go all out and wear a wig and pretend I’m someone else.

    Is there a fashion trend you wish to see make a comeback?

    Fanny packs because SNACKS.

    How do you relax or unwind after a long day?

    Get high and get on Reddit.

    Do you believe in any superstition?

    Who am I to say alien’s, the Mothman, or Big Foot isn’t real. I will definitely watch 50 YouTube videos on the subject haha.

    If you could personally witness anything, what would you want to have seen?

    Oh man so many things but I would  love to have been there when (if) 😉 we landed on the moon.

    Have you experienced a funny or embarrassing moment before?

    I was on a date once at on the border, it was winter and I had this huge coat on. I went to use the restroom and somehow got toilet paper caught in my pants and it was hanging outside of my coat as I walked all the way back to the table where my date was.  The dude never went on a date with me again.

    What turns you off on a date?

    Talking about yourself more than you should. Gross.

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

    Being you.

  • SoCal Cosplayer Jane Sin

    SoCal Cosplayer Jane Sin

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

    Hello! Thanks for having me. I’m a 26 year old Cosplayer based in SoCal. When I’m not working on cosplay I’m either at work, the gym, or playing games and cuddling with my cat Lola.

    Photo by Alive Alf Photography

    When and how did your interest in cosplay start?

    I’ve always enjoyed making things, so I think it was only a matter of time before I merged that interest with my anime/game interests. A friend of mine encouraged me to make a cosplay with her 3 years ago, and I’ve been addicted ever since.

    Photo by Alive Alf Photography

    What is a typical day like for you?

    I usually start out the day at work (I currently work in a genetics lab), answer emails and post on social media when I remember to. When I get home I’ll eat dinner, do chores, and then gym, play games, or work on cosplay. On weekends I try to work on cosplay as much as possible along with errands or photoshoots/cons. Admittedly it can be tough to juggle my projects and spending time with my friends, family, and SO.

    Photo by Extra Noodles Co.

    Which cosplay character do you wish was real?

    Can I wish all of them to be real?? I love them all for different reasons it would be really hard to pick just one!

    Photo by Indiglue

    How much of a foodie are you?

    I’m usually not picky at all; I could go for a fancy hipster fusion place or Del Taco (their turkey tacos are pretty good). I don’t think I’m a great foodie haha. Although I do love cafes, donut and dessert places. Breweries are always nice too!

    Photo by Indiglue

    Are you a morning person or night owl?

    I found a meme that describes me perfectly; I’m neither! I’m a perpetually exhausted pigeon of some unknown species. I feel like I need to sleep 12 hours a day or something to feel fully rested.

    Photo by Indiglue

    If you could time travel, where will you wish to go?

    Most definitely the future! Maybe a few hundred years from now. I want to see what kind of robots and cyborgs are around.

    Photo by Indiglue

    What is the funniest or lamest attempt a guy has tried to know you? 

    I’m not really sure about this one. I think I can recall someone trying to start conversation at a shuttle stop by saying I look a lot like his ex girlfriend. Needless to say that was a very awkward shuttle ride o_o.

    Photo by Indiglue

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

    I think it is much more than outside appearance; it’s also an attitude and an internal confidence. When you really accept yourself and develop that internal confidence and comfortability, it definitely shows in how you carry yourself and how you react to people around you.

  • Top Tips For Hiring Your First Escort

    Top Tips For Hiring Your First Escort

    Hiring an escort for the first time should be exciting; regardless of why you are wishing to hire them. That said, if you have never hired an escort before, the likelihood is that you will feel very social awkward, and you might forget anything you have ever read regarding the correct protocol. Escorts will know if it is your first time or not and will generally try to make you feel very relaxed and welcome both on the phone and in person. After all, they are providing a service which you are paying for, and they want you to come back to them. That said, they do expect a level of professionalism and politeness from you, and there are certain unwritten rules that you must quickly learn and abide by at all times.

    Here are a few hints and tips for anyone who is looking to hire their first escort…

    Use A Trusted Provider

    There are so many different escort agencies, as well as independent escorts, if you are hiring an escort for the first time, using a well-known, and reputable escort service, such as Angels Of London, is the best way to avoid running into any trouble.

    If you are looking for something in particular from your meeting with your escort such as engaging in a particular fetish, it is beneficial to go through an agency, as they will be able to match you with an escort specifically catered to your needs. Ultimately, this will mean that you will get the evening that you are hoping for.

    Talk To Her Before You Meet Her

    It is only polite to talk to your escort before meeting up with her. This is for several reasons. It gives you the opportunity get a feel for the escort (pardon the pun!), and tell if she is right for you but it also gives you the opportunity to ask any questions that you have.

    You can talk about pricing, where you are meeting, the protocol when you arrive – should you call her, or is there something else that she would prefer you to do? When you make this first contact, never do it from a blocked or private number. She simply won’t answer, and to be honest, who would blame her?

    DO NOT Negotiate The Price!

    Never barter or negotiate the price. Refer to it as a donation, not a fee, and do not be surprised if she asks for payment at the start of the meeting.

    Remember that you are buying a service and not coming prepared with the right money, or trying to change the price during the meeting will not go down well at all and chances are she will just end the meeting there and then. Not only is it very rude, but it also puts the escort in a very uncomfortable and potentially vulnerable situation.

    The same goes for offering to pay more than the agreed price for her to add a last minute extra on to the service. If you have not agreed to it beforehand, do not ask, or suggest that it happens. Instead, save it for a separate meeting.

    Although a lot will come with experience, these are three important things to remember when you are hiring an escort for the first time. The most important thing to remember is to find an escort who can meet your needs, and that way you will not run into any problems with the escort, and you will have an enjoyable first experience.

  • Cosplayer Morgan Elise

    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.

    Madotsuki from Yume Nikki

    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.

    Daria Morgendorffer from Daria

    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.

  • Singer Songwriter Cathy Kim

    Singer Songwriter Cathy Kim

    My name is Cathy Kim and I am 23 years old. I was born in Sydney, Australia, but moved to S. Korea a few months after I was born. When I was 6, I moved to Dallas, Texas, lived there for 10 years and now I’m in the best of the west, California. I just graduated from UCSB’ 14. Go Gauchos! I am a singer, songwriter at ST5A MRMG in Downtown LA. I am slowly transitioning into a music producer. I also do food blogging on the side, because I love to eat and cook!

    Where does your inspiration in music come from?

    I began to play the piano since the age of 4, which is a typical thing to do growing up in an Asian family. Playing the piano was something really special to me. I believe it was the only thing that I knew I was really good at and I also knew I had the talent to pursue my career somewhere in the music industry. I wasn’t confident in education, it wasn’t something that I felt comfortable in.

    My parents were very strict about me listening to Non-Christian music. They were a very strong spiritual family. However, I have been rebellious since the day I was born. Secretly, I loved to listen to Korean Pop. When my parents were away, I’d sneak on the computer to listen to the latest Korean Ballads, and Pop music.

    I took something that I was good at, which is playing the piano and improvising, and what I love to listen together in the beginning year of my college. I was more free since I was further away from my strict parents. I was able to listen to K-Pop whenever I wanted. My musical abilities, and my love for K-Pop definitely brought this whole thing together.

    What are some of the challenges artistes face in the competitive K-Pop market?

    Back in the days, maybe about 3-5 years ago, it was all about how pretty or good looking the “idols” were, and this is just my opinion, and anyone can disagree. Now currently, I feel as if the superficial aspects of K-Pop is diminishing and it’s more about having multiple talent, which for me, is great. K-Pop industry also wants younger generations as trainees. So, now the older idols are less accepted and they stress about what is stored in next for them in their career. To satisfy a K-Pop fan is tough I think. One has to really be able to execute everything. If you are a dancer, it is recommended that you know how to rap and sing, and vice versa for the vocalists. If you don’t have that, the artist has to know how to entertain. Overall, it’s getting harder to become a K-Pop artist, you have to know how to sing, rap, dance, and entertain.

    If you could have the opportunity to collaborate with anyone past or present, who will it be?

    My style of writing is transitioning. As a classical trained pianist, it was a lot easier for me to write top lines for Pop. But as I have been taking vocal lessons, and practicing more of new style, R&B and Hip-Hop I personally would love to collaborate with AOMG, ZICO, CRUSH, ZION T, and DEAN.

    What’s the most expensive item you have splurged on?

    Hm… I’m trying to remember. I rarely go out to shop for clothes or anything. Money never came easy for me. My family always had a hard time. I earned my money through teaching piano and teaching swimming as well. But yes, now I do remember. I saved up about $1500 to buy myself a laptop for college. It was the best thing that ever happened to me. I was able to download K-Pop music on to my computer and listen to it whenever I wanted.

    Can you recommend some of the best spots to party in Seoul?

    I can’t answer you this one because I haven’t gone out to party in Seoul, just yet. But I heard Octagon and Arena are poppin’ right now.

    If you had the choice of any superpower, what will it be and why?

    Teleportation for sure. I want to travel the world. Listen to each culture’s music. I took ethnomusicology classes back in college. I love all kinds of music. I want to just teleport to places and experience their music world.

    Which Disney character best represents you?

    Ariel. She was rebellious, she learns her lessons through mistakes. She was willing to lose her voice to become human. I’d do anything to stay with music.

    What guilty indulgences do you have for food?

    Oh dear Lord… I do blog about food. My Instagram is just photos of food. My mom’s a chef. I can’t stop eating. I love Korean food. It’s in my blood. I love garlic, onions, vinegar, kimchi and rice.

    Naughtiest thing you’ve done?

    I’m an angel though… O:)

    What’s sexy to you?

    Confidence. I hear celebrities say this all the time, and I highly agree. If you are able to get past your insecurities and out of your comfort zone and accomplish what you want to do, that’s sexy in a woman.
