First, I am Vanna Garcia-Kaw, I am a mother of three beautiful boys. I started out my career way back in the early 2000’s where I became an actress to star in a youth-oriented show called TGIS. I continued on to showbusiness until about 10 years ago when I decided to call it quits since I had a second child on the way and I wanted to focus on my family and my studies. I took up Interior Design from PSID and graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in College of Saint Benilde.
Since then, I have been juggling family work and career along with being active in the social media circle as an influencer for beauty, fashion and lifestyle. Right now, since I am also into self-care and beauty we also opened a skin care studio called First Bloom Lasers and Infusions which we launched last 2019!
Where do you love to shop from and what inspires your fashion style?
I like to shop in several places. It really depends where I find something I like. Some of my favorite places to look is in ZARA, MANGO and COS. I also like to get clothing from some local brands like Unif0rm, Topstop, Mosaic.
My style really revolves around classic, elegant, basic and minimalist styles. I like to be comfortable and at the same time chic and stylish in what I wear in clothes that can stand the test of time.
Do you have any hobbies or interests?
Well, I recently just found out that I love to watch K-dramas. Listening to music really gets me in the mood or relaxes me. I also love scents!
Which is the best compliment you have received?
Many would reach out to me and tell me that they admire how I can juggle work, have three boys and still look relaxed, fresh and composed!
Would you rather have superhuman speed or control objects with your mind?
Control objects in my mind.
What 3 fun things do you love to do in your city?
Eat good food, shopping, and firing!
On a scale of 1-10, how much of a foodie are you?
10, I love food!
What turns you off on a date?
Someone arrogant who talks about himself all night long!
Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions Vanna. One question before we end, how do you define “sexy”?
Being sexy isn’t your shape or how your body looks. Being sexy is in the attitude. How confident you are to speak your mind and be in your own skin.
My partner and I just launched a Skin Care Studio called First Bloom Lasers and Infusions last Oct. 2019 at Robinson’s Galleria. We focus on skin-care made simple with top of the line Laser machines.
Hey, howdy hi! I’m Batman…Ahaha, I’m kidding! ^_^ I’m a cosplayer, bookblogger, engineer, nerd and Nutella lover from Russia with love! ♥
My name So Hyun was coined by my friends from Korea, with whom I had studied language courses at Ural Federal University. They often said that any name (and any pseudonym) determines the fate of a person and amateur methods of choosing is completely unacceptable. So they asked for help from a fortune teller from Hongdae street (at the Hongik-ro intersection) to choose a traditional name for me so it would bring me some luck, protect me and help me with work. That name has been my mascot ever since.
How long have you been cosplaying and how did you get started?
I’ve been in cosplay since 2012. Wonderful masterpieces of Hayao Miyazaki inspires me to cosplay. I had cosplayed Chihiro («Spirited Away»), Ponyo («Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea»), Kiki («Kiki’s Delivery Service»), and Sophie («Howl’s Moving Castle»). I have plans to do Arietti («Kari-gurashi no Arietti») and San («Princess Mononoke»), please wish me good luck with that♥
Which are some of your favorite characters you have cosplayed so far?
My favorite (and also my first) full cosplay – Sophie Hatter ((«Howl’s Moving Castle»).
What content do you create and blog about?
For me, cosplay is not just a hobby, but also a way to promote my favorite books and reading itself. I really like books, I reeealy like reading, so cosplay and books exist in a single format for me. My main goal is to inspire people to read really good books about strong and colorful characters with an inner core and the role that «personality» plays in presenting to audience. So I like my cosplays on Sophie («Howl’s Moving Castle»), Lily Potter («Harry Potter») and Alma Peregrine («Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children») because they were always strong-minded, brave, intelligent and ready for self-scarified girls.
I always admire strong and independent women, they are an inexhaustible source of inspiration for me. As long as my cosplay serves as a bright tool to be interested in books, to search for the original source of images and just enjoy myself, I will try my best to serve the benefit of young people who like to read.
Where do you get your blogging inspiration from?
In books, manga, movies, k-dramas, anime, video games, and even in paintings (both classics and modern authors). Inspiration is everywhere, even in food ^_^
If you could be a cartoon character for real, who will you be?
In addition to reading books, I really like to play «Dungeons & Dragons» with friends, or once again review «Monty Python and the Holy Grail» or «Twin Peaks». I also like to sit in the park knitting sweaters and hats, as well as playing videogames on PS4 (I’m a fan of GTA and Red Dead Redemption).
What turns you off on a date?
Rude behavior with other people, inadequate unjustified self-assessment, and of course an unhealthy love to alcohol.
Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions So Hyun. One question before we end, how do you define “sexy”?
I feel that being sexy is an attribute with which I was born. We were all born with it. Sexuality is about individuality, uniqueness, and your own style. Sexy comes with an attitude of confidence and being comfortable with one’s body with your best features.
Thank you very much for the opportunity, it was a very interesting interview and an amazing opportunity to get to know SimplySxy and tell a little about myself.
Hi everyone, my name is Geo, I’m a commercial model/actress based in Manila, Philippines, and Tokyo, Japan.
How will you describe your fashion style and where do you draw inspiration from?
Starting off with the hard questions, are we? LOL! I never thought about this before! I usually just wear whatever the first thing I see from my closet is. But yeah, I think I could say that my fashion style is heavily drawn from the latest in Japanese fashion trends.
What is your beauty regime like and do you use any beauty products?
I have dry skin, so most of the products I use are heavily geared and researched towards treating dryness and flaking. After cleansing, I use either an AHA or BHA peel from Cosrx then I top it off with Neogen Real Ferment Micro Essence.
After letting it dry, I mix in Buffet from The Ordinary with my trusty Hadalabo lotion, and pat the mixture onto my face. After it’s dry, I top it all off with Minon Amino Moist – Moist Charge Lotion II.
What hobbies or interests do you have?
On my off days, you’d usually find me hanging around the world of Final Fantasy XIV! Yeah, I’m a heavy gamer and on occasion, you can still see me playing Overwatch, League of Legends, if I’m not in FFXIV.
Which 3 types of food do you recommend to everyone who visits your city?
When you visit Manila, I recommend having the Pork Sisig, Kare-Kare, and Crispy Pata from Manam. The holy triumvirate of heavenly goodness!
If you could time travel, where will you love to go and witness?
Who says I can’t? *wink*
Would you rather invent a new gadget or discover a new species?
Can I do both? I’m very very indecisive and I’ve literally been pondering on this question for days now lol!
What turns you off on a date?
Ohhh boy, I probably have a list of pet peeves, but to keep things short, I’d say the biggest pet peeve is constantly checking your phone on a date.
Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions Geo. One question before we end, how do you define “sexy”?
Kink has always been a huge part of my life and is very close to my heart. My personal views towards life in general but also towards kink and alternate lifestyles is… Do whatever you want as long as you’re not hurting yourself or others…make sure everything is always safe, sane, and consensual. And the best way to do that is with EDUCATION!
You cannot consent to something if you do not know what it is, which is why education is HUGE for me with BDSM. I have played as a submissive for around 10 years, as well as worked on and off camera, as a professional submissive and done sex work in general for about five years now and I am always learning and educating myself further.
How I Got Started Into BDSM
I have always been into the darker things in life. Growing up I would have labeled myself as goth, and truly saw the beauty in all things dark and creepy. I have always had submissive tendencies my entire life. It might have started from watching porn as a teen; my favourite starlets were Sasha Grey and Bonnie Rotten who usually performed in very hardcore BDSM scenes, and I always thought to myself, “I WANT TO DO THAT!”
It was my dream to become a pornstar one day, although life got in the way and I got caught up in the wonderful world of FSSW working as a professional submissive (but that’s another story for another day). I am back on track of achieving my dream to become a pornstar. My biggest goal is to work with kink.com and I’m hoping once the world settles down, that I can make this dream a reality.
Aside from porn, Tumblr was also a huge influence on me being attracted to BDSM (I met my first “online” Dom from Tumblr) and found many more pornstars, kinks/fetishes, and BDSM education from Tumblr (like links to books, videos, and other BDSM educators) and from there I found Fetlife (if you don’t know about it, Fetlife is basically Facebook for kinky people), new partners, all while continuing to educate myself on the subject.
My first real life Dom partner was someone I met online and probably a mistake. We both were not educated enough at the time, and a lot went wrong in that relationship. This is why I’m such a stickler for telling people that education is key to consent! You can end up in really horrible situations and get very hurt, if you’re not educating yourself before meeting someone and playing.
Did Being A Sub Come Naturally?
Yes, I have always had very submissive qualities even in platonic vanilla relationships. I live to please everyone around me. I am also constantly told that “this is what I was born to do, I live to please.” by numerous people that I have encountered through out my life.
Even my parents say “I’m great at helping people and that I love to help people”. I’m just a natural born pleaser, and I always aim to please in all aspects of my life.
My Favorite Kinks & Fetishes
Some of my favourite kinks/fetishes are:
Shoes (pleasure heels)
Piss play
Pain play
Humiliation / degradation
Bimbofication
Cuckolding
Hotwifing
I love shoes, I only recently realized that it’s an actual fetish… I love to wear them as a form of bondage and I love to clean and lick other women’s heels, I find it degrading to be treated as less than everyone else and to serve “real women” by licking their heels clean. Plus with my oral fixation, I love to deepthroat and gag on women’s heels. I don’t know why, I just love it! I guess it’s the degradation that really gets me going. Which is another big one for me.
I love being humiliated and degraded, and doing things publicly is my favourite. I love when everyone is staring at me and freaking out, and I guess I’m just an attention whore at heart. I love anything to do with pee play, getting peed on, drinking it, pissing myself, I love all of it. It makes me feel dirty and used in ways that other fluids just can’t LOL.
Bimbofication for me just goes hand in hand with humiliation and degradation, being a goth slut forced to look like a pretty Barbie, is probably the best humiliation punishment you can give me.
Hotwifing is similar to cuck holding, except my partner is not a cuck. They enjoy watching me act like a slut and I do not humiliate them in anyway. For cuckolding I enjoy being the cuck, I like to watch my Dom or partner be with other women, it’s a huge turn on for me.
Lastly, pain play. I think it basically comes with the territory of being a submissive but I truly get a release and high after doing a very intense scene. It’s almost like an out of body experience and I live for that feeling. Just like an athlete, I’m always trying to push myself and my limits always trying to do better and achieve more. It really is like a sport for me.
How I Explored My Limits & Knowledge
I’m constantly educating myself every day, as you can never stop learning. I am always watching videos, reading books, and attending events where I can learn more. As for IRL exploration, I only play with safe trusted and educated partners when exploring my kinks and fetishes.
I have a long distance Dom/Top friend who used to “own” me in the submissive term. However, the distance was rough for me and we only play together when we can now. However, he is the only one I trust right now to really push my limits pain wise and see how far I can go, and this is after years of getting to know each other and a confirmed list of limits, that we always adjust as needed.
Aside from that, I do have a few Domme female friends that have gotten to know me very well and I can always trust them to help me explore as well, and we usually play together at kink events.
Important Tips For Submissives
Please pleaseee educate yourself before playing. And by education I do not mean watching 50 Shades of Grey…. Actually, first of all, please wait until you’re 18+ before you start playing and exploring. I know it sucks to wait but that gives you lots of time to educate yourself and learn everything you can about BDSM before exploring in real life.
There are many great BDSM educators on YouTube now. Evie lupine being one of my favourites. Although online content is great for education, please also read books, and if you can find your local dungeon and take some classes. Education is key to consent because you can’t consent to something if you don’t know what it is.
If you make an account on Fetlife you can find local events, dungeons and education classes in your area. It’s a great tool to find events where you can educate yourself and explore. Please please please for the love of Satan, do not treat Fetlife as a dating website. I don’t recommend meeting people of Fetlife. Use it to find events and education classes in your area, and meet people that way (and then you can add each other on Fetlife of course)
But please, it is not a dating website so don’t treat it as such, and I can promise you the people that don’t follow this rule on Fetlife are not the people you want to be “meeting” or “exploring” with. There are dangerous people all over the internet, that’s why education is key!

Hi. My pleasure to be featured) My name is Anastasia Nevskaya. I I’m a lifestyle model and blogger on Instagram 10 years already. Or 11 not sure) I’m Russian but I live outside the country 8 years already. In Thailand. I’m an island girl haha.

Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions Anastasia. One question before we end, how do you define “sexy”?
For me sexuality is health, self confidence, and intelligence.
BDSM and kink are totally different animals; one is about self-expression and the other is about self-repression. You can think kinky thoughts, wear kinky clothes, do some kinky stuff….but it’s all about perception. In fashion, kink is kind of where avant garde fashion starts. It’s the frontier between the judgment of a person and a community, a status quo and change. BDSM is all about the relationship between two people, based on trust, acceptance, and deep emotional, really, turmoil. The bikini began as kink. New fashion is kink. A spanking is always BDSM. Interest in either or both is probably fetish.
Fetish is wonderful; it is self-expression. Kink is a description of non-mainstream and should be harmless, but God only knows in today’s world of priggish and self-righteous political correctness. BDSM is very private, very complex, and somehow connected to deep psychological issues. Within limits of personal acceptance and common sense concerning safety, it is therapy.
What Is Discipline & How Important Is It?
Discipline is not kink, it is BDSM and therefore, from my perspective, a therapy. It is a salve, not a cure. It responds to a need. I have “treated” people who need to be spanked because they need expiation of their “sins”; a student who wasn’t studying hard enough.
I once had a wife send her husband for the spanking he deserved and agreed that he deserved, but that she was uncomfortable delivering. There are a lot of mommy issues out there! Then there’s the executive who is in control all the time and just wants to be controlled.
I practice Bondage and Discipline at the non-extreme end where emotional and physical safety are paramount. SM overlaps butt morphs toward an extreme that can become very unhealthy and even dangerous. Not what I do.
Why Are People Into Discipline?
As I said, I am a therapist. The key to good therapy is a form of mutual discovery and appropriate treatment given all factors. My first rule is safety, my second is understanding drivers, and my third is respecting limits.
Caning a person who just wants OTK mommy spanks is abuse. OTK spanks is useless therapy for a person who seeks the expiation of a rubber belt thrashing. Sex is a very real part of sessioning, butt only in the mind and behind of the client. They all get aroused….yep….the girls too….and I definitely mind fuck them, but they don’t get any more of me than that. And they love it.
No sex, a lot of vex………that’s the Dom hex.
What Common Rules Are There?
Rules? It’s about roles. I’m like any other therapist. I, we, they, play games to get you where we can help the most and you do what you are told. Within limits.
If he or she wants to act up and it’s part of the role, we work it out with me maintaining control. I have had only one jerk that got out of control and that I had to throw out.

Mistress Rattan – Mistress in Toronto offering Discipline and Domination
Hi! I’m Michelle and I’m a SF and LA-based social media and digital marketing specialist who loves working with brands and clients. I’m also a food and lifestyle content creator (@foodwithmichelle) who enjoys collaborating with businesses and networking with the community.
When did you first start to discover and appreciate food, and call yourself a foodie?
Honestly, I don’t remember a specific point in my life where I discovered my appreciation for food. I’ve pretty much been a foodie since the day I was born, and loved to eat even when I was a baby with no teeth! I appreciate food because it’s one of the universal things that has the power to unite people together.
Which types of food do you love most?
I’m actually not picky at all so I’ll eat everything that’s in front of me. If I had to choose one cuisine, it would be Asian food, more specifically mala spicy foods such as Chong Qing hot pot and Szechuan dishes. I also enjoy KBBQ, milk tea/ boba, cake, desserts, and more!
How will you describe a typical day like for yourself?
Eat eat eat. Just kidding, I wish. I’d describe my typical day as work hard and play hard – getting everything done now so I can play hard later 😉
Do you have any hobbies or interests?
I enjoy learning new skills, doodling, reading, creating content, travelling, cooking, baking, listening to music, watching dramas, playing VR Beat Saber, and hanging out with family and friends.
Is there something you’ve always wanted to do but have yet to find the time for it?
Yes, there’s so much I want to do and learn! I’ve always wanted to start an online business, as well as a small business selling my art and crafts. Right now, I’m in the process of building and branding my digital marketing agency.
Have you been in an embarrassing situation before that is funny now when looking back?
Of course! You can’t take life too seriously ya know.
What is your idea of an ideal first date?
My ideal date would be having a nice picnic beach, watching the sunset, grabbing food and drinks at happy hour or dinner, and ending the night with dessert/ boba.
Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions Michelle. One question before we end, how do you define “sexy”?
Self confidence! I believe self confidence is the key to success!
Hey I’m Jordan Go from Manila, Philippines. I’m a 23-year-old licensed nurse. My friends tell me I’m the jack of all trades because I can do anything from sports to cooking. Currently, I’m in my first year of medicine proper, but I also do part time modeling and vlogging. I aspire to become an American board-certified surgeon someday.
What inspires your fashion style and have you always been interested in fashion growing up?
I have joined several pageants and modeling growing up, which allowed me to hoard clothes that are very lady-like. I’m a fan of crop tops, skirts and stilettos.
Where do you usually love to shop from?
You can never go wrong with Uniqlo! I love how comfort meets style. Very simple but posh.
Which is the best compliment you have received?
I’m everything but ordinary.
If you had the chance to time travel, where will you go?
I would be a teen from the 80’s. I like their style and how liberated they are.
Do you have any other hobbies or interests?
Since quarantine, I have indulged myself to embrace what I love more… that’s putting on make up and being silly in my Instagram story.
Would you rather meet your favorite fictional character or your favorite musician?
Totally my favorite musician!
What do you not get about guys?
When they are shy taking care of themselves physically. Nail spa, lip balms and sunscreen will preserve your beauty sir.
Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions Jordan. One question before we end, how do you define “sexy”?
Sexy is being confident for who you are, but also making better choices to become spicier tomorrow. Let people know who you are not by how you look, but by what you do.
Hi everyone! My name is Jesaura, but everyone calls me Jessy. I’m from the Bronx, NY and a proud Latina. I work in fashion production and have my own fashion blog. I will be on season one of She’s Single New York – a reality TV show about five single women living in NYC. I also compete in beauty pageants and model.
What inspires your fashion style and where do you love to shop from?
I love dressing trendy, so I definitely shop at many fast fashion retailers. Zara, H&M, Express, and small boutiques in the Bronx. I’m a total girly girl so I love colors, textures and heels. I love thrifting and finding unique pieces too.
Do you have a lifestyle or fashion hack that you can’t live without?
A hack that I learned competing in beauty pageants is spraying hairspray on the bottom of my heels to prevent from slipping. It works wonders!
Which 3 things do you enjoy doing most in the city you live in?
Living in NYC there’s always so much to do. My top 3 would have to be taking pictures around the city, going to brunch, and shopping!
How do you decide what content to create and share on your website?
I create my content based on what I’m going through in my life at the moment and what I think my followers can relate too. I’ve gained a ton of Latino followers lately and it’s important for me to cater to both my American and international Spanish-speaking followers. Also, depending on the content I’m shooting for brands.
If you can have a super power, what will it be?
A super power of mine would definitely be to teleport, because I’m always running late, even if I give myself enough time, I’m always rushing. I’m working on this, I promise!
What kind of music are you into and do you have any favorite artists?
As a Dominicana, I love all latin music especially bachata, merengue, dembow – whatever gets me dancing. I also love old school R&B.
What turns you off on a date?
A guy that’s very arrogant turns me off, I appreciate confidence but oftentimes it turns into arrogance. If a guy is flaunting a lot of his materialistic things or bragging about himself, it turns me off. I love humility and confidence.
Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions Jessy. One question before we end, how do you define “sexy”?
For me “Sexy” is confidence, when you’re comfortable in your own skin and sure of yourself and who you are, you’ve reached sexy. Not needing validation from anyone and living in your truth is sexy.
My inspiration for fashion comes from the Los Angeles culture. The freedom to dress however you want with no judgement has placed me in the confidence to wear any kind fashion. I love to shop in pop up stores that are coming up with new brands, and nothing feels better than supporting new businesses.
Do you have a lifestyle or fashion hack that you can’t live without?
I love keeping my clothes with no wrinkles and have it look as sharp as much as possible. I definitely don’t like tucking anything in so rubber bands is a hack to making a shirt look tucked in without actually tucking it in.
Which 3 things do you enjoy doing most in the city you live in?
I love visiting the beaches and just laying out to read book. Next, I love discovering new restaurants. Lastly, the museums are always a great place for inspiration and relaxing place to go back in history to enjoy the greats.
On a scale of 1-10, how much of a foodie are you?
I am a 10.
If you can have a super power, what will it be?
I would say, to read books faster. More knowledge is more power, and that is a pretty good superpower to have.
What kind of music are you into and do you have any favorite artists?
My favorite music genre is hip-hop. I can use some 2pac, Nipsey Hussle, Common, etc..
What do you not get about guys?
I don’t understand how they can treat a good women so terribly and be okay with it.
Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions Kimberly. One question before we end, how do you define”sexy”?
Sexy is defined being confident within your own skin.
