Jade Rasif Knows You Fap to Her Instagram

The Urban Dictionary defines thirst traps as “A sexy photography or flirty message posted on social media for the intent of causing others to publicly profess their attraction.”

Think boobs, butts and puffy lips.

These traps are set “To feed the posters ego or need for attention, at the expense of the time, reputation and sexual frustration of those who view the image or reply.”

So while some of us satisfy our need for attention by posting an angsty Facebook status, a thoughtful meme, or a cryptic Instagram story in a font size so small it’s unreadable, others do it through thirst trapping.

And a thirst trap, when viewed by the right person, at the right time, can yield promising results.

Just ask Jade Rasif.

Singapore’s highest paid DJ and also an actress at Mediacorp, Jade Rasif has a 99% success rate when it comes to setting thirst traps on Instagram—something she’s more than proud of.

“I love thirst trapping,” she tells me straight away. “It’s hilarious.”

“Especially when I post a picture and my ex slides into my dms, and I get to screenshot it and have a laugh with my girlfriends.”

Her honesty catches me off guard. Where others would shy away, deny, or feign confusion, Jade openly embraces her thirst trapping ways.

When she was still on Snapchat, she would get sent one or two dick pics a week. “It was fun opening them with friends because it was like Snapchat dick pic roulette.”

Beyond mere entertainment however, it doesn’t take me long to figure out that the thirst traps Jade sets are essentially power plays at work. While some thirst traps posted cast a wide net, aimed at soliciting the maximum number of likes and public admissions of affection from viewers, Jade’s thirst traps are specific to one person at a time.

It is these people whom she refers to as her “targets” and “victims”, or more specifically, men she’s taken an interest in.

“It’s not about looking pretty or hot,” she tells me. “It’s about projecting an image that inspires thirst in your target.”

Depending on her victim of choice, Jade changes up her thirst traps accordingly. It could be cleavage one day, and butt cheeks the next.

“I can’t speak for all men but the ones that me/my friends like are usually predictable (sorry guys).”

A thirst trap is considered a success if the guy she’s interested in sees it, and proceeds to reach out and text her.

Besides boasting a 99% success rate with her victims, each thirst trap she posts receives an average of 6000 likes and about 50 comments from other onlookers.

To Jade, “Thirst trapping with friends is the online version of discussing what to wear to a party to impress your crush or to snub your ex.”

“There’s also that satisfaction when it works.

When it comes to wielding one’s sexuality to their advantage, Jade is clearly an expert—a fact that may be intimidating for some but empowering to others. Although she acknowledges that thirst trapping may be considered juvenile, she quickly brushes it off as just harmless fun.

But is it really?

For as much as thirst trappers would like to believe that they’re in control of the situation, I see thirst traps as a double edged sword, such that neither trap-per nor trap-ee comes out on top.

For us viewers, thirst traps can bring instant gratification, says Lisa Brateman, a psychotherapist and relationship specialist.

“They stimulate fantasy without ever needing to leave the house,” she suggests, in an interview with GQ. “It offers a window—however limited—of legal snooping into what you want to see and the ability to fill in the blanks of what that person is like.”

It’s like porn, but a lot more personal. It also takes little effort.

For viewers, thirst traps are also a source of twisted entertainment.

Since thirst trapping is something most of us we would never do ourselves, Brateman says we become fascinated and captivated with those that do.

This fascination however, is less along the lines of admiration and envy, and more of detached voyeurism from behind a screen.

Thirst trappers are not just people we live vicariously through. They become almost a kind of spectacle, to scrutinise and to objectify; somebody who is only as relevant as his or her next thirst trap.

In the past, we’ve discussed the power that comes with being objectified. At the same time, it’s important to also acknowledge how power can be lost to sexual objectification.

“The posting of provocative pictures suggests a sense of control of how one wants to be perceived,” says Brateman. “Often there is an incessant desire for external validation and the comments on social media fill that need temporarily.”

“This cycle of need requires continuous feeding. The attention is a distractor from loneliness which makes one feel valued and admired.”

When I question Jade if she feels proud or confident about her appearance, she tells me, “Not really.”

She goes on to explain, “I try my best to present myself in the most genuine, unfiltered way. I would be really upset if social media made people see me differently.”

Who is DJ Jade Rasif? Alvinology takes a look at her rise to fame

DJ Jade Rasif, 24, is said to be one of the highest-paid DJs in the Singaporean scene, with her commanding $1000 per one-hour set, when she started two years ago. But this isn’t her first (and only) venture into show business, and here we take a look at some of her fame milestones.

DJ Jade Rasif has graduated from the National University of Singapore, and poses with her parents.
Model-blogger-DJ

Thanks to her good looks, Jade may be known first for being a model and part of New Face 2016. The New PAper’s model search which has run for the 25th time, with Jade claiming the first runner and and the Miss Vivacious award from prime sponsor of the show, Subaru MotorImage.

In interviews about the event, she said that she was very nervous about her run on the competition, and thought that she had to work harder than all the other contestants because of her height. She stood a whole head smaller than the winner, Noelle Wan.

Jade said she went into an intense dieting program, which would cause her to lose weight and appear taller. In hindsight, she said that she wouldn’t recommend it to anyone and that it wasn’t sustainable.
Love for DJing

Jade said that her desire to be a DJ came around even before she started her career. Thanks to an ex-boyfriend, she got into the craft, and eventually became addicted to it.

But she says that before New Face, she was not as popular as she is now. She enjoyed smaller gigs, though, but said her success as a DJ came 99% from her stint on New Face. She said that the contest catapulted her to fame since people recognised her face and wanted her to play at their parties now.

How about Tyen Rasif, Jade’s pageant-hopeful sister?

In an interview, Jade says, “The hours are insane. Some weeks, I perform weekdays from evening until 6am the next day, and then it’s back to school.

“But I’m never tired. I get pumped up over good music and I want to make sure everything is perfect. I’m neurotic like that.”
Actress

Aside from being a model and DJ, she is also an actress. She played Sheila Oh on the series Tanglin for Seasons 1-3.
Controversies
Her father is on the run

Jade isn’t a stranger to controversy, especially as she is the daughter of one of the most notorious Singaporeans, who was been evading the law for years.

Jade is the daughter of 52-year-old David Rasif, who is wanted for using client’s funds for his own gain. He is a lawyer by trade, and was entrusted millions and millions of dollars and property by various international clients for cases and property purchases.

In total, he stole $11.3 million in 2006. Some of his stolen property has been recovered, but not all. He is still on the run from Interpol.
Almost got Zouk in trouble

Some of her misplaced comments during a party sent the wrong message about a failed celebrity appearance in Zouk.

Jade apologized when her comments that Zouk was in on a scam orchestrated by two other DJs telling people that American DJ Marshmello would be performing.

In September 2016, American DJ Marshmello was allegedly slated to play at the Ultra Music Festival. The customary mascot suit of the DJ appeared, but he was not the actual American DJ. Jade, who was the resident DJ of Zouk at that time, posted on her Facebook profile calling Zouk to account for the incident.

But she apologized when she found out that the club did not advertise the appearance, and the whole event was attributed to the two DJs who told everyone the person was Marshmello.
Where is she now?

She’s still studying, but she’s at the top of her game in DJing for parties all over the world. Recently, she posted about a firm @indoclubbing on Instagram, who allegedly used her name to pay their female DJs a certain amount of money for gigs.

Have you watched Jade perform before? Let us know in the comments!
