I Find It Difficult Making New Friends…
Model friends are sweet colleagues, but it’s not the same as we’re all in the same business. For me, my best friend needs to pull me down, give me a smack in the face and remind me I’m lucky.
I’m Not In Love With Fashion…
But my mom adores it, so she’s living her dream through me, which is cool. Growing up, I’d thought about modeling but only because my family said I should; I was tall and quite skinny.
I’ve Softened My Look…
I was always into punky, rebel clothes, but I’ve toned it down because of my job. I still wear some elements of the look though, like over-the- knee socks or a mini skirt.
I’m Not Self-conscious At All…
In Holland, [everyone] goes topless on the beach and my parents used to walk around naked when I was a kid, so I’ve never had a problem with nudity. When I was younger I really wanted to be curvier; I’ve accepted my body now, but I still feel very attracted to curviness.
Watching What I Eat Is F*****g Terrible…
If I had the choice I’d eat whatever I want, but that’s not the case. I know healthy food is beneficial for how I look and feel, but it’s hard to enjoy those flavors!
