    Singapore DJ Vivian Tan

    Hi DJ Viva, it’s a great pleasure to feature you on SimplySxy.  Can you tell us a bit about yourself and where you are from?

    Hi, I’m a DeeJay and I’m from the Lion city, Singapore.

    4

    Which genre of music do you spin and are into?

    I spin EDM and Top 40s music, I’m into hip hop and trance music, and right now I’m currently learning it!

    What makes you unique from other DJs?

    I present myself very differently with other DJs, my signature is my hashtag #DJVIVAROCKYOURNIGHT and I’m always wearing a leather jacket when I’m on the decks!

    If you had the chance to collaborate with anyone past or present, who will it be?

    I would love to collaborate with DJ HARDWELL, a renowned top DJ in the world. It will definitely be a dream come true!

    Which has been your most memorable gig or event so far?

    The most memorable gig I spun so far, was at BEERFEST ASIA 2016 . I loved the crowd there and they are the most spontaneous crowd I’ve ever come across!

    3

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

    It was a joke coming from a random stranger saying that he lost something, and it’s with me. I asked him what was that, and what he told me was… I stole his heart away from him.

    What is the first thing you notice about a guy?

    Appearance will be the first (I get to stare at the guy first, before I start noticing about him right?). I can’t help but notice what kind of watches guys wear.

    Where do you usually spin and are there any upcoming events which we can catch you at?

    I usually spin at F CLUB/ D10 (SUNTEC) / FRESH. You guys can catch me up on my upcoming #DJVIVAONTHEHIGHSEAS. Me and the rest of the DJs will be sailing out and spinning on a cruise!

    2

    It is a pleasure to feature you on SimplySxy. Before we end, what does sexy mean to you?

    Sexy is all about personality, I believe that when you’re amazing on the inside, it makes you having a very sexy personality on the outside.

  • Singapore Beauty, Fashion & Lifestyle Blogger Aldora

    Singapore Beauty, Fashion & Lifestyle Blogger Aldora

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

    Hola! I am Aldora and I’m from the sunny island – Singapore. I am a freelance Beauty, Fashion & Lifestyle blogger and an avid instagramer for @Aldora_Muses.

    Aldora means “Noble” in English and “Winged Gift” in Greek. I believe that I exist for the noble purpose to be a winged gift in everybody’s life – shedding light to the doubtful and showering joy to those who are down. Oh by the way, I am also nicknamed “Rabbit” as that is my zodiac sign.

    2

    When did you start blogging and made you do it?

    I started my blog “Musings of a Rabbit” (now rebranded as “Aldora Muses” for a more personal touch) about 3 years ago when I was still dating my fiancé (now husband).

    We were always exploring new dining places during our dates and I thought it would be interesting if I were to share my experiences with others via my blog. I established my presence in the blogging industry as a Food Blogger but am shifting my focus to Beauty, Fashion & Lifestyle over the years.

    In addition to that, I am fond of taking photos and my blog is the perfect platform for me to showcase my photos.

    Is there a particular fashion or style trend in Singapore?

    I would say that a comfy tee paired with shorts/jeans and flip-flops would be our favorite casual weekend style. Singaporeans tend to be easygoing when it comes to dressing in view of the humid weather here.

    Name one instance of a fashion catastrophe you have witnessed?

    I prefer not to highlight anything too negative here but my pet peeve will be sighting butt cracks with low-waisted jeans that are too loose. If I must list an instance.

    What other hobbies do you have?

    I enjoy online shopping, shooting OOTDs, café hopping, singing and watching the television whenever I am free.

    If you could have one chance to learn something about the future, what will it be?

    I would love to learn more about the upcoming opportunities available for grabs so that I will be prepared to seize hold of every opportunity that comes my way immediately. Think of it as investing on something that is guaranteed to make you handsome profits – how exciting!

    What is an ideal first date to you? 

    My ideal first date would be a romantic candlelit dinner at an exquisite restaurant followed by an awesome musical.  Sounds posh but in reality, my first date was nowhere like that *HAHA*

    What do you find most attractive about the opposite sex?

    I find witty and charismatic guys most attractive. Having that said, I wouldn’t resist humorous ones though.

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

    Thanks for granting me the feature. To me, “sexy” means being comfortable under your own skin and having the sense of empowerment to influence others. It can be difficult at times because we tend to be self-conscious but I think it is important that we must accept ourselves first in order to feel sexy and convince others that we ARE indeed sexy.

  • Med Student And Fitness Enthusiast Clarice Yeo

    Med Student And Fitness Enthusiast Clarice Yeo

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

    Hi SimplySxy! Thank you for interviewing me 🙂 I’m very flattered haha! I’m currently turning 21 in October this year and I’m a medical student in the Nanyang Technological Univeristy (NTU). I’m from Singapore 🙂

    2

    How will you describe your fashion style?

    Homeless. I’m chilling in my sweats with my hair up 90% of the time. Either that, or I wear a dress because I’m way too lazy to pick out two articles of clothing. Haha but when I do actually bother to dress up, I make sure I’m never half-assed about it. I’d describe it as bold but not outrageous – the fine line between attention-grabbing and over the top.

    How did your develop an interest in fitness and what is your workout regime like? 

    I had serious body image issues when I was growing up, so I started out purely with the intention of wanting to lose weight. I did a lot of cardio and I joined a sport, where my coach first introduced me to weights training. However, I only started developing a real interest in fitness when I used to go out with someone from our local fitness industry.

    In the beginning, all I wanted to do was to know more about fitness just to understand more about his lifestyle and passion. He debunked so many myths about fitness that I initially had, the most important one being that girls would look manly if they started lifting heavy, taught me so much about diet and nutrition, as well as motivated me. I also started to get to know more people in the local fitness industry, all of whom made a contribution in kickstarting my fitness journey, be it bringing me into gyms, giving me advice or drafting out workout plans for me.

    As for my workout regime, I train on average 6 times a week, making sure that I hit every muscle group at least twice each week.

    Do you have any guilty indulgences when it comes to food?

    I strongly believe that there are no bad foods, only bad portions. One piece of chocolate isn’t going to set you off from your fitness goals if you’re able to fit it into your diet to suit your daily macronutrient needs. That being said, I definitely have a weakness for dessert and pancakes. I’m always saving up calories just so I can eat those.

    3

    What’s the sexiest item in your wardrobe?

    Can I please not talk about my underwear on the internet lol.

    What is the secret behind you looking so gorgeous? 

    Haha wow this question definitely threw me off, thanks for thinking that I’m gorgeous. I am not trying to humble brag or fish for compliments here but very honestly in my own opinion, I think that I’m very average looking. If you have a different opinion from that, I’m definitely flattered. Just that occasionally, I make the effort to dress up, look nicer than usual, spend a bit more time trying to get my camera angles right. This is the only part that you get to see on the Internet. I don’t live up to that all the time, in the same way I don’t live up to my passport photos and yearbook photos all the time lol.

    Lamest pickup line or attempt a guy has used on you? 

    I can’t decide which is worst lol.

    1. Girl, I’m white. From Switzerland. You like?
    2. King Solomon had 700 wives because he never met you

    1

    If you had the chance to travel to anywhere in the world, where will it be and why?

    Jeff Seid’s bedroom 😉 because he’s the sexiest man alive and I’m a creep.

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

    Sexy is the fine line between suggestive and explicit 😉 don’t cross it.

I was also a finalist in Miss Scuba Singapore 2015. Besides working out at the gym, I work as an event talent as well.

    Walking into the male toilet and a guy stared at me while he looked down his…

    4

    What’s sexy to you?

    To me, strong is the new sexy. It need not be the curves or boobs or butt that makes you sexy, really. It is the whole look from top to toe that you give to people overall that makes people go gaga over you. Anyway, what is really true and real today when everything could be enhanced by makeup and cosmetic surgery? Be strong, fit and toned. That’s sexy.

  • Actress And Model Tini Wong Is Larger Than Life

    Actress And Model Tini Wong Is Larger Than Life

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

    Born and bred in Singapore. Many say I don’t look like my age. I am a Virgo and no one will forget my birthday. I am a beauty junkie (I can be your best shopping partner at Sephora!) and music is how I get through my day. I will never leave home without my earpiece. At first glance, people commented that I have a Resting Bitch Face (which we all can agree, I have) and come across as arrogant but I can be a crazy one once you know the real me.

    2

    How did you get into modeling and was it something you’ve always wanted to do?

    I started modeling when I was 18. I took on many TF assignments to build up my portfolio and tried different themes. Slowly, I received requests to model for several online stores and more commercial works like Print Ads. Besides photo shoots, I also got hired for events as an Brand Ambassador which pays very well during my time. Recently, I went out of my comfort zone and pursued acting.

    Currently, I have plans to set up my own events and talents agency because I love to manage and I believe quality models deserve a better pay and welfare. Don’t get me wrong, there are really good agencies around!

    Which genre do you love to model?

    High end fashion, bridal, swimsuit and lingerie.

    3

    What is your beauty routine like?

    Many have raised this particular question to me. I’m glad to share my tips with you. I will cleanse, tone and moisturize my face twice daily in the morning and night time before bed. Scrub and mask my face at least once a week. Make it a point to remove your makeup before sleep. I believe chocolate is NOT the cause for pimples. It’s the oily food you consume, the late nights and also failure to remove your makeup properly. But we girls, cannot blame the menstrual cycle. I will always have 1 or 2 significant pimples on my forehead during that time of the month!

    How will you describe your fashion style? 

    I’m pretty casual. I wear what makes me feel comfortable. You will only see me in heels if its for shoot or events. Other than that, it’s my trusty pair of Melissas!

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

    I would love to learn the different languages around the world! Nothing is more sexy than being able to speak different languages. In the meantime, I am picking up French.

    4

    Which is the funniest attempt a guy has tried to know you and did it work?

    I cannot recall any because none are hilarious, just plain creepy. I won’t talk to you unless you are cute so that solely means I am selective to who I talk to.

    Will you be in any events or projects where we can hope to see you in the coming year?

    I will be starting my full time career soon. Therefore the last (hopefully, not) event you will see me is at the Singapore Yacht Show happening on the 7 to 10 April 2016!

    5

    It’s a pleasure to feature you on SimplySxy and before we end, how do you define “sexy”? 

    Being independent and having big dreams you can achieve.

  • Personal Trainer And Fitness Model Jason C

    Personal Trainer And Fitness Model Jason C

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

    Thank you for the interview. I am from Singapore and currently I am a certified personal trainer. Besides personal training, I do modeling as well. I joined contests such as Manhunt and CLEO bachelor in the past while I was modeling. Now I am focused more into physique and fitness model competitions.

    How do you motivate yourself to pursue and maintain your dedication towards fitness and health?

    There are actually two key reasons to my dedication. Firstly, as a short term goal I hope to encourage and inspire my fellow peers who have just started out at their fitness journey. My goal is to compete overseas in hope to achieve some titles in the near future. I hope to be a role model for the younger men in Singapore being able to make that small difference at making a mark for our country on the international platform.

    Secondly, I feel like I have a responsibility to my fans, for their ever growing support always. I need to keep myself at my tip top condition, always moving forward, body, mind and soul. I am a man of my word and not someone who is just all talk and no action.

    What is your regular exercise regime like?

    Generally I work out 5 times a week, hitting different body parts at every session. Currently I am hitting my back twice a week as it is my weaker part and I focus on cardio once or twice a week. Currently I am not preparing for any competition hence I am only doing cardio at this frequency.

    story-20131023143923-gym-0093main

    Do you indulge in any guilty pleasures from time to time or do you stick to a strict diet?

    Yes, my diet is pretty much the same almost everyday and I try my best to stick to it as they contribute towards my goals. I do have my cheat meals like twice a week where I can eat anything I want. My favorite cheat food has to be ice cream!

    You’ve won many awards and participated in various competitions before. Which one will you say is most memorable to you?

    I would say Manhunt International 2012 was quite memorable. I didn’t win that contest, but I got ranked 5th across 58 countries, the highest for Singapore ever.

    I joined Manhunt during 2009 prior to the 2012 pageant, it has proved to me that this time round it was like a validation for myself. I had improved a great lot. Lastly, it was really heartwarming that my family flew to Bangkok to give me their full support. I am glad I didn’t let them down.

    Is there a way to lose weight within a short period of 3 months?

    Yes definitely, provided if you were consistent and hardworking enough. Keeping straight to a good diet (diet doesn’t mean not eating anything) accompanied by proper training, losing fats in 3 months is totally possible.

    What will you say is the common excuse most people have for not exercising enough?

    There are many reasons really, given our busy schedules, I will not say that it’s an excuse. Most people experience problem finding time to exercise, because they think it’s too troublesome. After a long day at work, to imagine that they have to travel to the gym, wash up and work out then wash up again and head back home. This is a common hindrance for most working crowd.

    How often do you get girls coming up to you and what is it like?

    I get asked this quite often and sadly, I do not get any of them coming up to me. Believe it or not, no girls had ever asked for my number or fb or anything before. So, I am sorry I cannot answer this in an ideal manner. Hah!

    It’s a pleasure to feature you on SimplySxy and before we end, how do you define “sexy”? 

    Thank you for the opportunity as well. I think sexy has to be from your inner self. Being confident and accepting who you are and not afraid to show your true personality is sexy. There are many people out there trying to be someone whom they are not. I think just love yourself and portray your own personality and people will naturally like you.

  • Stephanie Variel from Singapore

    Stephanie Variel from Singapore

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

    Hello SimplySxy readers. I’m Stephanie. I’m turning 20 years old in March and I’m from Singapore.

    1

    Do you have any hobbies?

    Yes I do, my hobbies are dancing, swimming and I love doing makeup the most.

    What is your fashion style like and where do you usually shop from?

    I would like to say my fashion style depends on my mood. I mostly love wearing casuals, like a crop top with a highwaist shorts kind of girl, or sometimes dresses if I’m feeling fancy.

    Are you a morning person or night owl?

     I’m definitely a night owl.

    How much of a foodie are you and what are your favourites?

    I wouldn’t really say I’m a big foodie person. But if you are in Singapore definitely try out our local food. Like chicken rice, nasi lemak. There are many more to name. You got to try it for yourself!

    2

    What are 3 fun things to do in Singapore which you can recommend?

    Night life in Clark quay, go shopping in Bugis street and Orchard road, If you love going out during a sunny day, Sentosa might be the right place for you!

    Which is the funniest attempt a guy has tried to know you and did it work?

    Hmm maybe not the funniest I would say, I was walking by the basketball court and this guy came up from my back asking my friend to give my number to him with a very funny, mixed up accent. I started looking my friend and laughed. Hahah I didn’t mean to laugh but my friend started being funny and I kindly rejected him and didn’t gave him my number.

    3

    If you had the chance to be a superhero, what will your powers be?

    Oh. This is a difficult question for me. Haha, maybe myself? I would love to have ability of self healing, healing other people, ability to locate people, be like the hulk, able to raise things up easily.

    It’s a pleasure to feature you on SimplySxy and before we end, how do you define “sexy”? 

    Sexy is confidence. Be it from the inside or the outside.

  • Miss Singapore Popularity Winner Gisele Ong

    Miss Singapore Popularity Winner Gisele Ong

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

    Hello. Thank you for featuring me. My name is Gisele Ong and I work as an Investment Analyst-Real Estate. I am also a model and ex-Miss Singapore Finalist – Miss Popularity Winner.

    During my free time, I dance and play the piano. I started dancing since 5 years old – from my mum, she was a ballet instructor; and I started learning music at 12 years old.

    4

    You participated in the Miss World Singapore 2015 contest last year, what made you decide to join it and how was the experience like for you?

    My decision to join Miss Singapore was an “accident”. Growing up, I used to watch the competition on TV, and I am always curious what will it be like to be a finalist/Miss Singapore. So one day, when I chance upon the audition, I just… went for it.

    I completed two Miss Singapore competitions. Miss Singapore Beauty Pageant 2015 where I emerge as Miss Popularity Winner and Miss World Singapore 2015. My experience with Miss World Singapore was a very pleasant, I learn a lot. The importance of etiquette and networking – what to do, what not to do; but the most important part is, I become good friends with all the finalist.

    6

    How did you get into modeling and was it something you’ve always wanted to do?

    My modelling career begins right after I completed Miss World Singapore 2015. During my stint as a Miss Singapore finalist, I discover I have a passion for photoshoot. And that’s how I get into modelling.

    Which genre do you prefer to model?

    How much of a foodie are you and what are your favourites?

    I love eating and I can eat a lot! Sashimi is definitely my favourite! I also like carrot cake, char kway teow and chili crab – typical Singaporean.

    Oh, oh, have I forgotten frozen yogurt? – I always tease my friend (the franchise holder of Llaollao) to make me the ambassador of his froyo company. =P

    What’s 3 reasons to visit Singapore other than having the chance to catch you?

    Awwww, I’m flattered. There are more than 3 reasons to visit Singapore.

    But the most important reason is, if you want to get rich, visit Singapore. =P Singapore is a business hub and we have one of the lowest tax rates around the world. The city is also very safe and clean. So it is a place may want to consider – it’s a safe investment haven.

    You wouldn’t want to miss out the beautiful cityscape of my country. It’s breathtaking, magnificent day and glittering night views.

    Also, Singapore has a unique culture. Multi-racial. Singaporeans are friendly; it will be easy for you to blend in.

    Which is the funniest attempt a guy has tried to know you and did it work?

    My ex-colleague tried to “score me”, he was drunk and he said it bluntly and openly. Nice try bro, you have a wife, be faithful to her! I’m sorry, but you are not even hot, my body doesn’t crave for you.

    Bike

    Will you be in any events or projects where we can hope to see you in the coming year?

    My whole year’s schedule is packed with photoshoots. Hopefully you get to see more arty pictures of me around the web. =) Follow me on my Instagram: @giseleong21 and my Facebook fan page: www.facebook.com/giseleong21

    It’s a pleasure to feature you on SimplySxy and before we end, how do you define “sexy”? 

     Two words. Embrace femininity.

  • Bodybuilder And Fitness Extraodinaire, Grace

    Bodybuilder And Fitness Extraodinaire, Grace

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

    I am from Singapore and I’m currently in my final year in Psychology Studies, Ngee Ann Polytechnic. I am 21 this year.

    3

    How did you develop an interest in body building?

    I developed an interest in bodybuilding when a friend introduced me to basic resistance training about 2.5 years ago. Seeing small changes and progress made me want to pursue bodybuilding further.

    6

    What is your fitness regime like?

    To me, having time to train is a luxury. When I am not that busy (e.g when I am having holidays), I train about 5-6 times a week. I train legs once a week, back twice a week, shoulders and abs 2-3 times a week and arms once a week. I also do about 20-30 minutes of moderate to intense cardio after my training sessions about 3-4 times a week. When I am too busy with school or other commitments, I might reduce my training frequency to about 4 times a week instead and combining different muscle groups into one session.

    4

    Do you have any favorite workout routines?

    I do enjoy doing supersets because it can save time and drop-sets to ensure I fatigue my muscles completely. I like doing the stair-master because it is rather challenging in a fun way.

    Is it possible to lose weight fast within a period of 3 months?

    It is possible to do it the right way in three months but I do not advocate anything too extreme or crash dieting because the harder you diet, the worst the rebound. I will suggest staying in shape/staying lean as a lifestyle and not giving yourself a specific deadline of e.g 12-16 weeks to achieve your goals. I had a bad experience with hardcore dieting for 12 weeks and even though I got pretty lean, my metabolism was in a bad place and I was suffering from slight metabolic damage. It took me more than 12 weeks to recover my metabolism and to successfully reverse diet to the point where my metabolism was running normally again. Hence, the best “diet” to be on is a diet that can sustain you for life and not something that sets you up for failure, rebound and body fat overshooting. (Check out more from @biolayne on IG or Layne Norton on YouTube).

    Can you afford to indulge in guilty pleasures or do you follow a very strict diet?

    Yes, most definitely. Personally, after about 2 years on my “fitness journey”, I have learned that our body does not know what “clean” food is and what “dirty” food is. It’s really just a myth and Bro-science. I don’t believe in following a very strict diet anymore because it will only set myself up for failure as it is unrealistic and unsustainable. As long as I am able to incorporate treats into my diet and keeping it within my macronutrient allowance for the day, there will be no “damage” done and having treats does not mean “letting yourself go”, it simply means that I am not obsessive and much more flexible now. I can “diet” happily and still reach my goals without leading an extreme and rigid lifestyle. The key to a successful fitness lifestyle is happiness, sustainability and balance, and not forcing yourself to stick to a diet and workout regime you hate and then calling yourself “fitspo”.

    How do you motivate yourself?

    I find that as time passes, it’s no longer a matter of motivating myself but doing it because I love the lifestyle. When I am feeling very tired and unmotivated, I just tell myself that I will feel much better after the workout.

    If you had the chance to learn anything, what will it be?

    If I had the chance to learn something new, it will be dance or video editing.

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

    I think “sexy” is really just being confident and comfortable in your own skin and also believing that what you do is making your life better.

    Interview with Lyn Ling

    Who is Lyn Ling?

    A true blue Singapore girl with deep passion for fashion and animals, you can say I’m pretty versatile at being who I am. Which probably explains the diversity of my group of friends! Currently self employed, running my own Men’s Tailor and Female Line! Occasionally a bummer 😛

    How will you describe your fashion style?

    Fun, safe, quirky, daring, I’m pretty versatile and open when it comes to fashion style. I upkeep with the trend but I abhor following it blindly. I always believe style equates to confidence!

    Where do you get your fashion inspiration from?

    Emma Watson, CL from 2NE1, Victoria Beckham, Jennifer Aniston, Ayumi Hamasaki, just to name a few. And also renown designers like Tony Ward and Zuhair Murad. Aside from these amazing people, I get inspiration from my travels too!

    What’s the sexiest thing in your wardrobe?

    Black and white boudoir corset 😉

    Which are your go to brands?

    Every girl loves a Chanel and I’m not different! But aside from the big brands, I’ve always love indie brands like Keepsake and BNKR from australia!

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

    Travel and more travels.

    Do you have the urge to critic someone’s dress style if you see that it is a fashion catastrophe?

    Yes! I would definitely put it in the nicest way possible though.

    What items do you always travel with?

    Phone, camera and a gold token my grandmother left me.

    Have you ever experienced a crazy or frustrating moment on your travels?

    Yes, rushing for the train in Tokyo with food in my mouth cause I was just too damn hungry and their trains are too damn punctual (not a complaint!)!

    What guilty indulgences do you have for food?

    FRIEDDDD STUFFS. FRIESSSS!

    Funniest thing you’ve done or experienced?

    I’m a big klutz.. I drop stuffs several times a day and I have the worst sleeping faces. Which everyone around me thinks its funny! I love hiding in corners and scaring my sis every.single.day.

    What’s sexy to you?

    Remove all unsightly hair (pits, legs, lips) where it doesn’t belong, be well groomed, well styled and the confidence that comes will naturally make you feel sexy too!


    I currently run a budding Men’s Tailor (@assemblesg) with affordable pricings and guaranteed service! Looking good doesn’t mean you have to break the bank or listen to people pitch about things that doesn’t suit you! At Assemble SG, we bring out the gentleman in you, manners sold separately 😉

    I also run an online female fashion label (@sufficestore, suffice-sg.com) soon to be transformed into a one stop shop for all women out there with all sorts of quirky stuffs to suit you, your mood, your lifestyle. So, stay tuned!
