Kirsten Owen

Kirsten Owen (born November 22, 1970) is a Canadian-born English fashion model.
Career.
Rise to prominence.
After being scouted in Toronto, Owen began modelling at the age of 16. In 1987 she appeared on the cover of "Elle" in three different countries (Spain, France and Italy). After this amazing breakthrough, however, Owen did not immediately launch herself into modelling. In fact, it was two more years before she got another big break, appearing on the cover of the French version of "Marie Claire" magazine in July and October 1989 and on the cover of "i-D magazine" in 1990. Later that year she also got work walking in a show in Milan for Jill Sander while in early 1991, she was once again featured in "Elle", this time in an editorial. After this it would be another five years before Owen would work again.
When Owen once again began working it was in a show in Milan for Prada in February 1996. After this, things began to pick up as she became the face of Helmut Lang and was again featured in an Elle editorial in January 1997. A month later Kirsten found herself in demand as she walked in shows in Paris and New York for Chloe, Dries van Noten, Yohji Yamamoto, Calvin Klein, and Helmut Lang. That same year Owen was featured in an editorial of "Vogue Italia" and appears on the cover of the same magazine two months later. In 1999 she continued this success by becoming the face of Fendi. Kirsten Owen was also on the catwalk in Milan and Paris of September that year for Dolce & Gabbana, Lanvin, Yves Saint Laurent, and Louis Vuitton.
She signed a contract to become the face of Emanuel Ungaro, was in a print advertisement for Donna Karan, and was in a "French Vogue" editorial. Her career continued to rise as over the next three years she walked for the likes of Givenchy, Jean Paul Gaultier, Chanel, Donna Karan, Marc Jacobs, Moschino, Rochas, and Burberry all in the early months of 2001.
Retirement and return to modelling.
In 2001, Owen pulled back from modelling, only doing a couple of jobs in 2002 and 2003. Three years later, in May 2006, she returned to the catwalk (at the age of thirty-six) to close the Paris show for Kenzo. While Owen had mostly retired, she made a comeback in 2008 and returned to modelling as a primary face for Givenchy. She also replaced Victoria Beckham to become the new face of Marc Jacobs and signed on with Calvin Klein to work on his new fragrance campaign "one." Owen also made an appearance on the runway at New York Fashion Week and featured in an editorial for "i-D".
In 2010, she appeared again on the runway during Toronto Fashion Week for Joe Fresh.

Rocco Siffredi

Rocco Siffredi (born Rocco Antonio Tano; 4 May 1964) is an Italian pornographic actor, director and producer of pornographic movies.
He took his stage name from the character Roch Siffredi played by Alain Delon in the French gangster film "Borsalino" (1970). Known as the "Italian Stallion", Siffredi has starred in more than 1,300 pornographic films.
Pornography career.
Siffredi met porn actor Leonardo Codazzo in a French sex club in 1985 and was introduced to producer Marco and director Michela, who cast him in his first pornographic role, "Attention fillettes..." ("Watch Out, Little Girls...") in 1987, in which he performed anal sex. Siffredi then stepped away from porn and worked as a fashion model, but returned to the business after two years with the help of porn actress Teresa Orlowski. Siffredi went on to perform in both plot-based and gonzo-style pornography, with styles of sex ranging from ordinary to extreme. However, it was Siffredi's performances involving anal sex and anilingus, as well as rough sex and his psychological intensity and athleticism, which earned him recognition and ultimately a cult following.
Through collaboration with John Stagliano's Evil Angel studio and then his own Budapest-based Rocco Siffredi Produzioni as both a performer and director, Siffredi became one of the most powerful and recognizable personalities in pornography. "Rocco has far more power in this industry than any actress," Stagliano commented in 2001. Siffredi has credited Stagliano with being his mentor through all 30 years of his career.
Retirement.
In June 2004, Siffredi declared that he would retire from performing in porn for the sake of his children, and instead focus on direction and production. "My children are growing up," he said, "and I can no longer just say 'Dad is going to work to make money for the family.' They want to know more." Regarding Siffredi's long career, Axel Braun commented, "The problem is that he's been trying for years to find an 'heir to the throne', but it's no easy task. He thought he found him in Nacho Vidal, but then Nacho went his own way".
Siffredi, while continuing to direct, was largely absent as an on-screen performer for nearly five years. However, sexual frustration and disappointment as a director with his male talent and the state of the porn industry overall led Siffredi to return as a performer in 2009. Despite renewed success, Siffredi announced his retirement once again in 2015, shortly after appearing on the Italian reality television show "L'Isola dei Famosi" ("Celebrity Island") which saw him stranded naked and alone on a beach for one week. He was reported to have told a friend, "I never felt so naked as I did then. I was all alone and it gave me a lot of time to think about what is important. And I realised I don't want to lose my wife." He later told the press, "[M]ore than a year ago I started to get uncomfortable in the front of the camera...Something inside of me has changed." However, he has continued performing sex in titles such as "Rocco One on One" and "Rocco's Intimate Castings."
Style of pornography.
Actress Bobbi Starr noted of Siffredi, "Any girl in the industry who has been with him... will tell you that they have done things with him that they [would] never do with anyone else."
Speaking of his female partners, Siffredi says, "I want to see emotion... fear... excitement... the eyes going up from being surprised."
In mainstream media.
Siffredi is one of a few porn actors to enjoy crossover appeal and success with respect to other segments of the adult film industry, as well as some in mainstream media.
In 1999, he appeared in the controversial Catherine Breillat film "Romance". His performance in this role was followed by a part specifically written for him by the same director in her 2003 film "Anatomie de L'enfer" ("Anatomy of Hell"), in which he played a gay man who became sexually involved with a woman. Both films featured unsimulated sexual scenes involving Siffredi, although it is disputed whether he actually had intercourse with co-star Caroline Ducey in "Romance" (she said no, Siffredi said yes). In 2012, he made a cameo as himself in the successful French comedy "Porn in the Hood".
Siffredi is also visible in non-pornographic roles on Italian television, including television commercials for Amica Chips, a snack food, which have spawned considerable controversy and have at one point been taken off the air, a Cielo show, "Ci pensa Rocco", and a La 5 docu-reality series, "Casa Siffredi".
In 1997, Italian band Elio e Le Storie Tese dedicated a song and a video, "Rocco e Le Storie Tese", to Siffredi. Siffredi himself directed the video, also appearing in it. He also duetted with the band in the song "Un bacio piccolissimo" at the 63rd edition of the Sanremo Music Festival.
Personal life.
He is married to Rosa Caracciolo (born Rózsa Tassi), a Hungarian model whom he met in 1993 in Cannes and with whom he performed two years later in "Tarzan X: Shame of Jane." Together they have two sons, Lorenzo and Leonardo. During his initial retirement starting in 2004, Siffredi battled sex addiction and disappeared from home for days to have sex; including with women and men. Upon his decision to return to on-screen pornographic performance in 2009, Siffredi recounted, "I spoke with my wife and she said it's my problem only, it doesn't belong to her and the boys. And she said, 'You decided to stop; we never asked you. So if you want to go back, just go back". However, after a long period of intensive performing, with much time away from his home in Italy, Siffredi announced his retirement again in 2015 for the sake of his marriage. "Today I can see, my wife, she is the top priority", he said in a press statement. "She deserves to have what she wanted from day one, to be with only me without sharing with other girls". Caracciolo told the press, "I know him very well and I love him for who and what he is. Let's see what the new version of him will be like".
Siffredi discussed his personal life on the reality television show "L'Isola dei Famosi" ("Celebrity Island"). Speaking of his sexuality, Siffredi discussed his sex addiction as emerging from "some kind of devil in me" and spoke of himself, "[It] sometimes sends me out of my mind". He discussed asking God for intervention from the spirit of his mother, whose photograph he always carries.

Bianca Beauchamp

Bianca Stéphanie Beauchamp (, born October 14, 1977) is a Canadian fetish model, known for her glamour, erotic and latex fetish modelling.
Early life and education.
Beauchamp was born in Montreal, Quebec to a French Canadian father and an Italian mother. She was named after Bianca Jagger. Growing up in the low-income neighbourhood, Beauchamp managed to pass the entrance exam for an exclusive private school. She realised that she was bisexual at the age of 15. After having difficulty at home, she moved away soon after graduating high school, and began a course in French literature at CEGEP, hoping to become a high-school French teacher. After achieving her certificate, she began studying French and teaching at the Université du Québec à Montréal.
Beauchamp had met aspiring photographer Martin Perreault at the age of 17. Perreault convinced her to pose for photographs as his muse, and she began modelling for him. She bought her first latex dress at the age of 18.
In 1998, Beauchamp and Perreault founded the website "Latex Lair". During a teaching internship at her old high-school, one of the staff discovered the website and advised her to shut it down (although at the time it contained no nudity), which she did. However she re-opened the site after completing the internship, prompting the university to threaten to fail her if it remained on-line during her remaining internships. Beauchamp realised her passion for modelling outweighed that for teaching, therefore she left university at the age of 23 to pursue her modelling career.
Modeling career.
Beauchamp soon appeared in photoshoots for "Bizarre", "Heavy Rubber", "Marquis", "Nightlife", "Penthouse", "Playboy", "Skin Two", and "Whiplash", working at McDonald's, a video store, a sex shop and as a strip-club waitress while establishing her career.
In January 2007, Beauchamp became the first model to appear on the front cover of "Bizarre" magazine six times, and later in the same year represented Hype Energy at the 2007 Canadian Formula 1 Grand Prix. Her photos have also been in several Playboy Special Editions and on the cover of "Book of Lingerie". She has also been on the cover of Playboy's Girls of Canada calendar twice. In partnership with her website and Ritual Entertainment, she portrayed the character Elexis Sinclaire for the video game "SiN Episodes".
In January 2008, Beauchamp was named 31st in Askmen.com's Top 99 Women of the Year, a popular "Hot List" for celebrities. The following year, she improved her ranking to 24th. In January 2009, she appeared on the cover of Bizarre magazine, her 9th cover for the UK magazine, confirming her lead as the model who appeared the most times on Bizarre.
Breast surgery.
Soon after deciding to concentrate on modelling, Beauchamp began a fitness regime in order to stay in shape. When this caused her breasts to sag, she made the decision to undergo breast augmentation surgery, increasing her cup size from a 32C to a 34D. After a year, finding the saline implants unsatisfactory, she underwent surgery a second time, getting slightly bigger silicone implants and increasing her cup size to 32DD. In 2009, Beauchamp went for an additional breast surgery, this time increasing the silicone implants to 800cc and her cup size 32FF. She dismisses criticism about the implants, deeming it hypocritical to applaud people for improving their intellects while condemning them for improving their bodies.
Books and film.
In 2006, Beauchamp released the self-published book "Bianca Beauchamp – Fetish Sex Symbol" which focuses on her modelling career as a latex fetish model.
In 2007, she released her film "Bianca Beauchamp: All Access", a reality-documentary directed and edited by her partner Martin Perreault. The 85 minute film was premiered at Fantasia Film Festival in July 2007 and issued as a 2-disc Special Edition DVD in September 2007. The film was acquired by distributor HALO 8 Entertainment at the Fantasia Festival and was slated for a wide release in North America on January 29, 2008.
In August 2008, Beauchamp premiered "Bianca Beauchamp All Access 2: Rubberised" at the Montreal Fetish Weekend, with full red carpet treatment and a sold out theatre. The DVD was released the same day. In 2014, she appeared along with Daniel Baldwin, Ron Jeremy, Michael Madsen and Malcolm McDowell in the slasher film Lady Psycho Killer.

Monica Beverly Hillz

Monica Dejesus-Anaya, known by the stage persona Monica Beverly Hillz, is an American reality television personality and transgender activist, originally known for appearing on season 5 of "RuPaul's Drag Race". She was the second contestant in the show's history to come out as a transgender woman on the show, after Sonique in season 2 (who came out during the show's reunion special). Hillz coming out was historic as it was a first for network television.
In 2014, she was selected as one of the "Windy City Times" "30 Under 30" for the "best LGBTQIA activism, business, culture, non-profit work and more" as well as "Bustle" naming her one of the "most popular" "RPDR" alum. In 2015, she performed at the MTV Video Music Awards with Miley Cyrus for her live performance of "Dooo It!", along with other well known drag queens and "RPDR" alum.
Biography.
Dejesus-Anaya is of Puerto Rican descent. After the age of four, she was raised by her maternal aunt Gladys in Chicago's Latino Northwest Side. While in school, she was the victim of physical bullying, with other students kicking, punching, and slapping her. Due to the bullying, she attempted suicide as a sophomore and dropped out of school. Gladys died when Dejesus-Anaya was 15, leaving five children behind. At that point, Dejesus-Anaya moved back in with her mother. In Chicago, Dejesus-Anaya started performing at Latino gay clubs before deciding to move back to Kentucky, where she became a performer at Owensboro's only gay bar. She struggled with poverty, compounding issues she faced while as an adolescent and young adult.
At age 17, Dejesus-Anaya attended her first drag show, stating she "loved it." After deciding to perform in drag herself, Dejesus-Anaya chose the name 'Monica', a tribute to Bollywood actress Monica and then Beverly Hills, the city in Los Angeles County, where she wanted to live. Dejesus-Anaya considers her look in drag to be a mix of Aaliyah and Faith Evans, and her look while presenting as a male to resemble singer Bruno Mars. She is inspired by Carmen Carrera, Amanda Lepore, Calpernia Addams, and Maria Roman.
While living in Kentucky, Dejesus-Anaya worked at Macy's for a year and nine months, where she experienced discrimination from certain individuals. In Illinois, she worked as an escort while using narcotics, during which time she stated she was robbed and sexually assaulted. Due to the experiences while working as an escort, she has sleeping issues and nightmares.
Career.
"RuPaul's Drag Race".
In 2013, Dejesus-Anaya was a contestant on the fifth season of the American television reality competition "RuPaul's Drag Race". Previously, she had auditioned for season 1 and season 3. During the show, it was widely commented that she seemed "excessively distracted". The reason became clear when during the show she came out as transgender during the elimination portion of episode 2 in which she fell into the bottom two. Speaking to the judges, she stated, "I feel I'm not here. I've just been holding a secret in and trying so hard. I'm not just a drag queen – I'm a transgendered woman." The producers have stated that the reveal was not a contrived part of the show; they found out about her identifying as transgender during the filming of the episode. Guest judges Kristen Johnston and Juliette Lewis both responded with supportive statements. As producer Tom Campbell stated, "We discovered at the same time as everyone else. It was not revealed at any time during the casting process and everyone learned about it at the same time." Fellow competitor and eventual season winner Jinkx Monsoon called Dejesus-Anaya her "hero" during the announcement.
While distracted, Dejesus-Anaya did well in week 1. RuPaul commented that Dejesus-Anaya looked like Lady Miss Kier, with L'Etoile Magazine calling her face "fabulous". In week 2, she fell into the bottom two against Serena ChaCha, with the two of them lipsyncing to Rihanna's "Only Girl in the World". Dejesus-Anaya won the lipsync battle, with Serena ChaCha being sent home. The following week, Dejesus-Anaya was the third contestant eliminated on the show when she again fell into the bottom two and competed against contestant Coco Montrese.
Post-"RuPaul's Drag Race".
In December 2014, Dejesus-Anaya was one of the subjects of a photo series called WERKS, shot by Nestor Photography. The show was held at Chicago designer Michelle Tan's boutique Michelle Tan Clothing. Other drag queens featured in the series included "RPDR" alum Gia Gunn (Season 6), Dida Ritz (Season 4), Jade Jolie (Season 5).
In 2015, Dejesus-Anaya joined other drag queens to film the music video for singer Glenn Stewart's cover of "(Here it Comes) Around Again", originally performed by RuPaul. Other drag queens who joined for the video included "RPDR" alum JujuBee (season 2), Kelly Mantle (season 6), Jade Sotomayor (season 1), Jade Jolie (season 5), Joslyn Fox (season 6), and Jaidynn Diore Fierce (season 7).
Dejesus-Anaya has appeared in numerous media outlets including the Chicago-based gay Feast of Fun podcast. In 2015, Puerto Rican gay scholar Lawrence La Fountain-Stokes presented a talk titled "The Drag of Poverty" in which he discussed Dejesus-Anaya's experiences in relation to those of other Puerto Rican performers, namely Erika Lopez and Holly Woodlawn. The talk is part of a book project La Fountain-Stokes is working on called "Translocas: Trans Diasporic Puerto Rican Drag".
Dejesus-Anaya has continued to perform and make appearances up through 2015, including RuPaul's first Drag Con, held May 16–17, 2015, at the Los Angeles Convention Center.
Activism.
In 2013, American actress Amanda Bynes insulted RuPaul on Twitter, tweeting, "My dad is as ugly as RuPaul! So thankful I look nothing like you both! I had nose surgery after my mug shots so my nose and I are gorgeous!" Dejesus-Anaya came to RuPaul's defense, telling Bynes to "clean herself up" and "get a better wig".
In 2014, Dejesus-Anaya and Carmen Carrera, another trans former "RPDR" contestant, both spoke out against the perceived transphobic language that was included on "RPDR". The phrases included "she-male" and "tranny", which Dejesus-Anaya stated "were not cute at all."
When unconfirmed rumors began circulating that Caitlyn Jenner was transitioning from male to female, "In Touch Weekly" released a cover with a male-presenting Caitlyn (then known as Bruce) in photoshopped makeup. The cover was widely criticized, and Dejesus-Anaya released a statement saying "I think it's so wrong in so many ways for them to poke fun and do such things to someone... They know nothing about just to make money and make a mockery of trans people everywhere. They need to educate instead of just doing nonsense like that."

Film.
Her 2011 graduate thesis film Limehouse won the Audience Award at the Juried Previews for the SFSU 51st Film Finals, was selected to close the Film Finals screening, won Best Narrative at the Excelsior Short Film Festival, and was praised by Sundance Feature Film Program Manager Cullen Conly. The short narrative film focused on San Francisco and featured legendary transgender pioneer Vicki Marlane in a rare and classic rendition of Lisa Kirk's Limehouse Blues.
After graduating with honors in 2011, Marjorie moved from San Francisco to Los Angeles and set out to write her first feature script while working as a receptionist at World of Wonder Productions. It was there that she met her future cast members, including the late Ian Coster (son of Days of Our Lives actor Nicolas Coster, also performing in the film), Michael Lucid, Deven Green, David Keeps, and Stephen Saban, co-founder of Details. She fully funded the film using her earnings from World of Wonder, teaming up with SFSU alums Barret Hacia (Producer) and Mackenzie Mathis (Cinematographer). Marjorie wore many hats for the project: writer, director, lead actor, executive producer, and editor. Her surreal debut feature, titled Chemical Cut, world premiered at the top-tier 2016 Slamdance Film Festival as an Official Selection in the Narrative Competition. Marjorie was one of only two female directors accepted in the 2016 Narrative Feature lineup. In her dark comedy, "Irene, a 23-year-old artistic misfit, pursues a modeling career to escape her dead-end retail job but is quickly disillusioned by the cutthroat nature of the Los Angeles fashion world. Searching for identity and a kindred spirit while surrounded by competition, absurdity, and so many nude bras, Irene flounders until a mysterious woman's performance ignites her imagination." Programmer Marie Jamora explained, "Writer/Director/Editor/Lead Actress Marjorie Conrad developed the story from her own experience as a former model, and she shows us a world where mannequins are treated better than real women, verbal molestation is palpable, and the scariest predators of pretty girls are the other pretty girls.” Chemical Cut had a positive critical reception, including the following favorable reviews from Hammer To Nail, Film Colossus, Beyond Chron, The Film Stage, Eat Drink Films, and Slug Magazine. The following interviews with the cast and crew were conducted by Twitch Film, World of Wonder hosted by James St. James, Film Colossus, The Park Record, The Art of Monteque, Screen Prism, Serving Cinema, Filmmaker Magazine, and MovieMaker Magazine. Other local radio and television interviews were conducted by Entertainment Journal, Park City Television, KPCW Radio, KXRK 96 Radio, Attention Deficit, UNLV Rebel Yell, P3 Update, International Screenwriting Association, and Examiner. The film was singled out as a festival highlight by AMFM Magazine, Variety, Twitch Film, Hammer To Nail, and The Davis Clipper, and the festival trailer was initially released on Indiewire. Filmmaker Magazine called the film "beguiling" and "intriguing," Slug Magazine described it as "a beautifully wrought film of the often fraught search for identity" and argued "the film manages to deftly explore questions of identity and creativity—perhaps drawing from Conrad’s own experiences—through opulent shots, outrageous characters and an exquisite backdrop of heightened reality." While at the festival, Recreation Media secured the film's international rights. It screened at the ArcLight Hollywood on May 10, 2016 and the ArcLight Chicago on May 18, 2016 as part of the Slamdance Cinema Club. The film was nominated for the Indie Spirit Award and won the Female Eye Filmmaking Award at The New Hope Film Festival. It was an Official Selection at the 2016 Buffalo International Film Festival in the Domestic and ArtHouse Feature category. Marjorie was interviewed for BIFFX by actress Tilke Hill as part of a Women in Film panel with feature directors Stavroula Toska (Beneath The Olive Tree) and Victoria Negri (Gold Star). According to the film's Facebook page, Chemical Cut will be released on VOD in fall 2017.
Conrad's second feature film, Desire Path, premiered at the 2020 Mammoth Lakes Film Festival. Notable cast include Otto von Schirach and Amy Deanna

Supermodel Me

Supermodelme is a multi-platform reality series in which a number aspiring models of Asian heritage compete for a chance to launch their career in the fashion industry.
Created by Karen Seah and produced by Refinery Media, Supermodelme has run for three seasons and received nominations for "Best Cross-Platform Content" at the Asian Television Awards 2012 and "Best Non-Fiction" at the International Digital Emmy Awards in 2013.
The series was hosted by Singaporean model Charmaine Harn in its first two seasons. VJ and international Supermodel Lisa Selesner assumed the role of host from the third season onwards.
Show format.
Seasons 1 to 3 were 30-minute episodes and from Season 4, the show graduated to 60-minute episodes on cable, although on MediaCorp Channel 5, 30-minute episodes were specially produced. Throughout the series, the contestants are housed together under one roof and made to go through a series of tasks and photo-challenges, most of which bear a strong sporting and competitive angle. Each episode, one contestant is eliminated before a panel of judges until the winning model is chosen from a final three.
Transmedia presence.
Supermodelme is an English language multi-platform, reality-based entertainment programme available across television, the internet and on mobile.. Along with weekly television episodes, viewers can follow online webisodes that feature behind-the-scenes footage, extended footage and deleted scenes. Mobile content ranges from introductory biographies of the models to weekly "Confessional" videos. Supermodelme's cross-platform efforts earned it a nomination and "Highly Commended" position for "Best Cross-Platform Content" at the Asian Television Awards 2012, coming in behind CNN-IBN's "The Citizen Journalist Show".
Other technology integration.
In 2010, Supermodelme became the first television showout of Asia to ink a deal with popular location-based application Foursquare. The collaboration saw the integration of brands such as DKNY Jeans, with followers of the branded Supermodelme game rewarded with discounts for every virtual ‘Check-In’. In 2011, Refinery Media entered into a partnership with Google’s YouTube to distribute Supermodelme content on its site. Refinery Media also pioneered the use of “Hyperspot technology” with its integration into the show’s website Supermodelme.tv. The use of “Hyperspot technology” on Supermodelme.tv allowed viewers to attain immediate information and access to whatever brands, products etc. they saw on screen while watching content on the website.
Episodic breakdown.
Each episode, the models undertake a sports or action-oriented task that pits them against one another in a bid to determine one winner. The winner may receive prizes, rewards or in some cases, extra camera shots or time in their Photo Challenges. Following each task is a Photo Challenge, which is the key elimination element of the show. Here, the contestants are given a set number of camera shots to obtain their best picture for judging. The photo shoots require the utilization of skills acquired from the respective preceding physical tasks. After the photo challenge is over, the contestants will face Supermodelme’s celebrity judging panel that will provide feedback on their performance and photographs and proceed to eliminate one contestant.
Series evolution.
Season 1 of Supermodelme was initially produced for online consumption with 20 webisodes of 10 - 12 minute lengths and was broadcast on the website Supermodelme.tv. The show was subsequently picked up by cable channel AXN, reformatted for television broadcast and shown in 27 countries.
Season 2 saw Lionsgate's Celestial Tiger Entertainment co-produce Supermodelme for television broadcast in high definition. Weekly 30-minute episodes debuted on KIX and MediaCorp while the series retained its digital content and transmedia presence with accompanying webisodes and mobisodes.
Season 3 of Supermodelme was co-produced through a tri-party deal between Celestial Tiger Entertainment, MediaCorp TV and Refinery Media. It saw the introduction of Lisa S., a new host.
Season 4 and 5 have aired.
Partnerships.

In addition, Supermodelme announced in July 2012 a collaboration with Audi Fashion Festival (AFF) 2013 - the largest annual fashion event in Singapore.

Kirino Kosaka

 is a fictional character and the main female protagonist of the light novel, anime, and manga series "Oreimo", written by Tsukasa Fushimi and illustrated by Hiro Kanzaki. In the series, Kirino is a model student with excellent grades, competent athletic skill and great popularity. On the other hand, she's secretly an otaku with a fetish for "little sister"-themed eroge she has been collecting in secret. With the help of her older brother Kyosuke, who becomes her confidant, Kirino tries to reconcile her personal life with her secret hobby.
In the anime adaptation of "Oreimo", Kirino is voiced by Ayana Taketatsu. Although Kirino has become an extremely popular and somewhat of a breakout character in anime and manga fandom, she still received mixed critical responses from both fans and reviewers due to the character's "hostile behavior" in the anime.
Conception and creation.
In September 2013, during an interview with Crunchyroll, Tsukasa Fushimi, the writer of "Oreimo", was questioned why he made Kirino an otaku and he replied, "Now that I think about it, there might have been something like that going on, but originally I was only trying to make characters that I would find fun. And there is a part where I thought that by making Kirino an otaku, the viewers who are otaku could relate to her, 'Oh, I'm like that, too.'"
Regarding the character's closure in the series, Fushimi stated that there was not a completely happy ending for Kirino, revealing that he couldn't write an ending where Kirino's affection and feelings were "truly and entirely rewarded", saying that "various circumstances prevented me from plainly writing that sort of ending. Nonetheless, I realized that she cared deeply for [Kyousuke], and so I felt I had to do something for her." However, Fushimi still decided to give Kirino a happy ending, something he found very difficult to accomplish, because according to him, "I did my best to set up as good a situation for her as possible, for the sake of [Kirino's] future."
Appearances.
In "Oreimo".
In the light novel series "Oreimo", Kirino is the 14-year-old younger sister of the protagonist Kyosuke. She is normally mature and independent for her age. However, this is a facade and she only reveals her true personality—immature, abusive, and ungrateful with an aggressive, "tsundere"-like character—to Kyosuke, whom she orders to play her games and care for the characters, only to accuse him of being a pervert and a "lolicon". She is secretly an otaku with an obsession for "little sister"-themed eroge, as well as the children's anime series "Stardust Witch Meruru". She works as a magazine model and later becomes a novelist, the funds from which she uses to support her hobby. Despite her interests, she states she does not know why she started liking eroge and denies having a brother complex. Nevertheless, she frequently forces Kyosuke to spend time with her, whether it is playing games or taking her out, but denies that she actually enjoys the time they spend together.
Kirino is also shown to become frustrated whenever Kyosuke is with or shows interest in other girls. She even goes so far as to sabotage his time with another girl. Despite this, she is genuinely grateful to her brother. Although she states that she only likes eroge because of their cute characters, she shows a perverted side of herself when playing those games. She uses the screen name Kiririn when with her otaku friends. She used to admire Kyosuke in the past, whom she saw as a perfect brother. Kyosuke started distancing himself from her during elementary school. Kirino once tried to chase after Kyosuke (who ran away to play with his friends) but she tripped and cried in disappointment. This spurred her to start working hard on her academics and sports. She was also severely disappointed in Kyosuke's change in personality after the incident with Akimi.
Eventually, the two siblings fall in love with each other and Kyosuke asks Kirino to marry him, which she accepts. However, immediately after that, the two agree that siblings cannot get married in real life. They then decide to be a couple only temporarily, with Kyosuke putting a ring on Kirino's finger as a pseudo-engagement ring. They later arrange a pseudo-marriage at a church, where they reveal their genuine happiness for being siblings with a kiss. Kirino gives Kyosuke back the ring, ending their relationship with the promise of being a couple only temporarily finally fulfilled, and they go back to being normal siblings.
In other media.
In addition to the "Oreimo" series, Kirino also makes a cameo appearance in the 11th episode of the anime adaptation of "Eromanga Sensei", another light novel series written by Fushimi and illustrated by Kanzaki. Kirino can be seen in the 11th episode of "Haganai", although she is only shown from the back. Kirino appears in the crossover story "Ore no Imōto to Railgun Collaboration Project!", which features characters from both the "Oreimo" and "A Certain Magical Index" series. Kirino makes a brief appearance in the "A Certain Magical Index" PSP game, and she also appears as a playable character in "".
Reception.
Popularity.
The character of Kirino has become extremely popular in anime and manga fandom. Since the release of the first volume of "Oreimo", the pose that Kirino does on its cover has become a popular meme on internet, with several netizens editing Kirino's pose to make it look like other characters from various anime/manga series. In February 2016, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications announced that it would use Kirino as spokesmodel for its teen education efforts, with Kirino appearing in informational booklets that were distributed for free at select election symposiums.
In July 2014, Kirino was voted third in the "Favorite "Tsundere" Anime Girl Poll" poll by 489 votes. In August 2014, Kirino was ranked 18th among the "Top 20 Meanest Characters In Anime History" by 221 votes. In June 2018, Kirino was voted fourth and third among the "5 Most Loved Snaggleteeth in Anime" and the "5 Most Hated Snaggleteeth in Anime", respectively. In May 2020, Kirino's relationship with Kyosuke ranked third on the "5 Worst Anime Relationships" list.
Critical response.
In a review for "Oreimo", Theron Martin of Anime News Network (ANN) compared Kirino to "Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu"s character Haruka Nogizaka, commenting, "Where Haruka Nogizaka was a delicate, gentle flower of womanhood, Kirino is cut more from a "tsundere" mold. While the former was merely into anime series, the latter escalates dramatically to ero games (though she is also a fan of certain anime)." In a later review, Martin noted that Kirino is "still her usual irritatingly mercurial self", in addition to suggesting that Kirino's fascination with "little sister"-type ero games has a "deeper meaning". Kim Morrissy of ANN made a comparison between Kirino and "Eromanga Sensei"s Sagiri Izumi, with Morrissy believing that the latter, unlike Kirino, "matches the otaku's image of the ideal little sister: a quiet, doe-eyed girl who exudes moe appeal."
Reviewing for "OTAQUEST", Hope Kim praised Kirino as "confident, headstrong, and knows what she wants". Kim also said, "I think the non-incest aspects to Kirino Kosaka and her sisterly fantasy that make her an appealing love interest are also worth talking about. Kirino's hobby of choice happens to be a pastime that caters to men in fiction and in real life. Thus, making her 'one of the boys.' She's cool. She's with it. She gets what it means to have a sister complex. Which in turn, makes it 'okay' for her brother Kyousuke to be into it!" "UltraMunch" wrote, "She may not look like it to the untrained eye, but Kirino is actually a "tsundere" evolution. Her character combines "tsundere" with the 'imouto,' or cute little sister archetype, creating an interesting new formula that had audiences thrilled until things got a bit uncomfortable towards the end there. Regardless, Kirino is the ultimate hot and cold woman with an attitude that switches so fast it can give you whiplash."
Tim Jones of THEM Anime Reviews strongly criticized Kirino by describing her as being "immensely unlikable", apart from also calling her an "abusive, unfunny creep", as the character's behavior in the anime becomes more hostile as it progresses, remarking that "[t]here is no absolutely no avoiding her selfish, haughty, jackass ways". Another reviewer of THEM Anime Reviews, Allen Moody, gave his opinion on how Kirino was the "scariest" part of the second season of the anime.


Dylan Riley Snyder

Dylan Riley Jacob Snyder (born January 24, 1997) is an American actor. Beginning his acting career in community theatre at the age of five, Snyder is known for his acting, singing, and dancing abilities, starring as Young Tarzan in the 2006 Broadway musical, "Tarzan", as Timmy in the 2009 feature film, "Life During Wartime" and as Milton on the Disney XD comedy series "Kickin' It".
Early life.
Snyder was born in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, the son of Ashley and Les Snyder. Snyder has one sibling, an older sister named Cassidy. His older sister was involved in community theatre, and he grew up attending her musical theatre rehearsals. At the age of four, a director, Brent Jones, noticed he could take direction, and at the age of five, his family began letting him audition, leading to his first speaking role as "Tiny Tim" in a community theatre production of "A Christmas Carol".
Snyder's appearance as "Tiny Tim" caught the attention of local actor, writer and director, Tina Fitch, who was impressed with his work and would go on to cast him in several University of Alabama (U of A) productions whenever they needed a child performer. Some of his early community theatre credits include "Dill Harris" in Theatre Tuscaloosa's production of "To Kill a Mockingbird", "Michael Darling" in Theatre Tuscaloosa's production of "Peter Pan", "Buster" in the U of A's production of "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof", "Young Pippin" in the U of A's production of "Pippin" and "Billy Moore" in the U of A's production of "Assassins".
In 2003, the Snyder family moved to Petal, Mississippi. With his boy soprano range, Snyder performed with the Mississippi Boys Choir and the Hattiesburg Civic Light Opera. In 2005, he was selected for the American Boys Choir; however, it was during this time that Hurricane Katrina devastated much of Mississippi, prompting the Snyder family to move back to Alabama where family friend, Tina Fitch, suggested he go to New York City to try his luck in professional theatre.
Career.
In August 2005, Snyder and his mother began preparations to make the move to New York City and seven months later, on his ninth birthday, Snyder and his mother settled into a Manhattan apartment, while his father remained at his job in Mississippi and his sister attended college in Alabama. He soon began going on professional auditions and, after competing with hundreds of boys for the role, landed the part of "Young Tarzan" in Disney's Broadway musical adaptation of "Tarzan". After landing the part, Snyder studied gymnastics to meet the physical demands of the role and worked with a Disney vocal coach to learn to project his voice. Snyder made his Broadway debut as "Young Tarzan" in September 2006 and, as is typical with demanding children's roles on Broadway, alternated in the role with Alex Rutherford, appearing in a total of 169 performances until the show closed in July 2007.
While living in New York, Snyder continued to develop his musical theatre talents, taking ballet lessons with Yuka Kawazu, tap dance lessons with Janine Molinari, voice lessons with Richard Lissamore, dialect lessons with Amy Stoller, and etiquette lessons at the Etiquette School of Manhattan. During this time he began landing work as a model, appearing in print advertorials for H&M and Lord & Taylor and in commercials for Univest Bank, Benadryl and Chuck E. Cheese's, as well as breaking into television, landing lead roles in the "Sesame Street" segments, "Jet Side Story" and "Casablanca", as well as voicing the roles of "Griffin" and "Hound Dog" in two episodes of the Nickelodeon animated series, "Wonder Pets!" In February 2009, Snyder made his film debut portraying "Leo Amatog", an autistic boy who encounters a self-absorbed Chicago architect during an overnight bus trip in the short film, "Valley of the Moon".
In September 2009, Snyder appeared as "Timmy Maplewood" in Todd Solondz' dramatic comedy, "Life During Wartime". Touring the film festival circuit for almost a year before getting a limited release in July 2010, the black comedy tackled such controversial subjects as suicide, incest and pedophilia. The film earned critical acclaim for its director as well as accolades for Snyder, with "Variety" critic Todd McCarthy writing "The most compelling character this time around is Timmy (Dylan Riley Snyder)", and after commending the film's "superb" cast, McCarthy reserved his highest praise for Snyder, writing "Most heart-wrenching of all is young, freckle-faced Snyder, playing a still prepubescent kid forced to cope with the messiest of adult problems and faced with potential psychological issues he can't possibly digest."
In November 2009, Snyder returned to the New York stage portraying "Young Horace Robedaux" a role based on the father of Pulitzer Prize winning author, Horton Foote in the epic nine-part off-Broadway production of "The Orphans' Home Cycle". The show was critically acclaimed and Snyder, along with the rest of the cast, creative team and producers, was honored with a special Drama Desk Award saluting "the breadth of vision, which inspired the exceptional direction, performances, sets, lighting, costumes, music and sound that made "The Orphans' Home Cycle" the theatrical event of the season." The play itself would also go on to win the Outer Critics Circle Award and the New York Drama Critics' Circle Award, and ran until May 2010.
In the summer of 2010, Snyder landed his first comedic role, co-starring as awkward honors student turned karate competitor, Milton Krupnick on the Disney XD original comedy series, "Kickin' It". Snyder had no martial arts experience prior to landing the role, and when asked about the karate aspect of the show, Snyder explained "When we need to do karate on the show we have choreographers teaching us the moves, but I really enjoy doing the kicks. I lived in New York for five years prior to this and while I was there I did mainly theater. I did a lot of dance so getting into karate was a little easier for me." The pilot was filmed in the summer of 2010, and in November of that year, Snyder and his mother moved to Los Angeles when Disney XD announced it had green-lit the series. "Kickin' It" premiered in June 2011, and quickly became Disney XD's number 1 original series in the network's history. In September 2011, Disney XD announced that the show had been renewed for a second season. The network announced on November 5, 2012 that the series had been renewed for a third season and would go into production in January 2013.
Dylan Riley Snyder later worked on wife Allisyn Ashley Arm's YouTube series "Astrid Clover" where he portrays Astrid's boom operator named Boom Guy.
In 2015, Snyder starred in "Mamaboy" as Milton, the snoopy school newspaper editor/reporter. Mamaboy is about a high school student who must hide the fact that he has become pregnant from his family, friends and the school faculty, including his baseball coach (played by Gary Busey).
Personal life.
Snyder lived in Los Angeles with his mother during filming for "Kickin' It" while his father and sister still resided in Alabama. He is a former member of the Boy Scouts of America as well as one of the founding members of Broadway Kids Care. When he isn't busy with work and school, Snyder enjoys solving Rubik's Cubes, origami, juggling, billiards and chess.
In December 2014, Snyder started a relationship with actress Allisyn Ashley Arm. They got engaged on January 1, 2019 and married on September 18, 2019.
