KayceOnline: Hey Amy, great studio set! To get us started, tell us what you’re up to when you aren’t modeling or doing shoots..
Amy Hsu: Thanks! Well, I’m a full-time student at the University of Waterloo, so assignments and studying consumes most of my time during school.. During the summer, I work as a cashier at a pet’s store, because pets (especially dogs) are so incredibly precious and cute!

KayceOnline: Sap / puppy-lover alert! Now that we know you’re a softy at heart, tell us – if we could only know one thing about you.. what would you want us to know?
Amy Hsu: Hmm, I’d say that if the world could know only one thing about me, it would be that I’m eternally grateful for having my dad in my life. Without a doubt, he’s the reason I am who I am today. I love my daddy!

KayceOnline: I’m not gonna lie – that’s actually really sweet. Here’s a token “awwwwwwww” – how did you become introduced to the modeling industry in the first place?
Amy Hsu: Hahah, I guess it all started two years ago when I modeled for a fashion show at the University of Waterloo for fun. After that experience, I realized how fun and how natural being in front of the lens was to me. Modeling quickly became my passion.

KayceOnline: Any “crazy” modeling experiences to share so far in your career? Any memorable stories that stand out the most?
Amy Hsu: My craziest modeling-related story has to be getting my waist-long hair cut to just below my ears. I remember sitting in the chair and honestly, smacking me in the head for thinking that it’d be a good idea to chop my hair off for a photo shoot. Having had long hair for my entire life, I never realized it would be such a drastic change. I agreed only because I thought it’d be a great opportunity to work with an esteemed photographer and a creative hairstylist. I didn’t consider however, that it would probably take me three years to grow my hair back again. (Laughs.) Was it worth it? Probably not..

KayceOnline: Don’t speak too soon – short hair brings forth an appeal that most girls definitely can’t pull off, so there’s that! Have you thought about any short- or long-term plans with modeling & the entertainment business?
Amy Hsu: My current plans are to gain more experience and build a more complete modeling portfolio. Hopefully I’ll eventually see myself in print-ads all across Toronto! That would be awesome.

KayceOnline: That makes sense.. Since you’re still relatively early in “the game” at age 19/20 – have you thought about where you’d like to be in.. let’s say, 10 years?
Amy Hsu: In 10 years, if all things go according to plan, I should be happily married with two kids and settled down in a nice little house. I’m very traditional in terms of wanting to start a family, and I want nothing more in life than to have a stable career and loving kids.

KayceOnline: A girl like you settling down to raise a family? Wow. You don’t know it, but you just made yourself 10x more attractive with that statement.. While we’re on the topic, what would you say is your sexiest feature?
Amy Hsu: I’d have to say that my sexiest feature are my eyes, because unlike most Asians, I have long, full eyelashes (which thank God, makes my eyes bigger) and light brown eyes naturally.

KayceOnline: I can SEE that, haha. You’re definitely a natural beauty, now stop looking at me like that Let’s make this more interesting – what turns YOU on the most about a guy?
Amy Hsu: Lips and shoulders turn me on the most I think. And, I like guys with pouty lips and muscular arms just as much as the next girl This may be weird, but I have a thing for forearms and hands, and sexy abs don’t hurt either, haha.

KayceOnline: That sounds pretty specific eh? Have someone in mind already, or could I ask you out on.. Err, humour us for a bit – what would your ideal date be like anyways?
Amy Hsu: My ideal date would consist of roses and romance. The traditional dinner and movie, (and perhaps a nice walk around town), would suffice. The most perfect date I’ve ever been on was a surprise dinner date at the CN Tower – and I’m honestly not sure what would top that

KayceOnline: Dinner date at the CN Tower? Pffft, there’s still room for improvement.. or, a date with umm.. Sooo. Now that you’ve laid out your (high) standards, exactly how would an average guy be able to get YOUR attention?
Amy Hsu: I like the average guy for his ability to be average. There’s nothing specific that would grab my attention except maybe a nice smile, or confidence. I guess the most important thing is if a guy can make me laugh. That and charm, cause let’s face it – if a guy doesn’t have any game then where’s the fun in that? I generally like guys who are forward; if you can be confident enough to speak your mind, then you could be my type

KayceOnline:Average Joes with confidence and a little bit of personality – here’s your chance! Any final words to sweep us off our feet?
Amy Hsu: I can be sugar and spice, naughty but nice – there’s more to me than meets the eye Once you get to know me, you’ll notice my little quirks, and although they may be weird sometimes, and you’ll realize that that’s what makes me.. me! I think the most important thing that can keep anyone grounded in this hectic world we live in is being true to themselves – that’s a goal I’ll always continue to strive for. I’m incredibly grateful for all the support thus far and I’m excited to see what else is in store for me!
