part two
Being a model is often being associated with drugs and alcohol.how do you see that?
I personally think that its more of something ten years ago.I have never seen it.oke alcohol but i think its more about your personality.im somebody that really likes to go out.especially dancing.But if i have to work the next day i wont drink a sip.I enjoy the going out part rather than doing the drugs and alcohol.i also look for friend who also thinks like that.I have told myself that i want nothing to do with drugs and it will not be in my enviroment.
If you go out,were do you go?
Clubs.It is so funny to experience the difference between friesland and NY.In NY all the clubowners know exactly who is a model and we dont have to stand in line.In friesland i just stand in line.i like that im being treated like everybody else.
Then one more cliche;do you notice alot of jalousy between models.
no ,i have alot of friends who are also models and we really support eachother.i hangout with Lonneke Engel
and Annemarie van Dijk.We kinda live a SEX and the City life.you know....NY,nice cup of coffee,to the movies,having dinner.i dont feel the competition,everybody has something that they are good at.Sometimes you think "I would have liked that assignment",but something else will always come along.jalously of other girls towards me ,i honestly dont really notice.
But there must be some kind om competition?
sunconsciencely you are always comparing.For example at the VSshow you are surrounded by girls who are thin with beautiful bodies.Then im always comparing.Thats what women do.besides castingagent only book thin girls for their shows.
If you say thin girls i automaticly have to think about anorexia.
If you are going comparing like that i can understand that you are going to be obsessieve about food.Questions like 'Can i still eat that' , '' am i really hungry'' ,'' shall i wait another hour'' , '' what does the food do to me'' come to mind.It is very difficult to completely not think about food.I cant not not eat,that goes against my feeling.
How do you handle it?
I try to eat as healty as possible and to eats small portions.Im very happy with the way i look and as amodel i try to look like a woman where other women can indentify themselfs with.At catwalk shows i sometimes have a difficult time ,because im somebody who is a little more curvy.And the clothes are often made for thin girls.i still get picked by being diffent.
in the meantime you have build up quite a resume.what is ahead?
The top hasnt been reached yet.the higher you get the more difficult it is to stay there.being booked bij Mario Testino is fantastic,but to keep working with him is difficult.one time is fun,but people can forget you very easily.Its still means working very hard.
How are you going to spend the holidays?
First a couple of days in holland.and then i will fly with my parents to NY.my little sister currently studies in NY.We are going to have a real american christmas.i already have the christmas tree.with new year we are going to hawaii.looking for the sun ,becuase its very cold in NY.
And you bofriend Eddy,is he coming too?
No,i have been single again for quite some time now.he has lived with me in NY,where he also was a model.but it wasnt giving him alot of satisfaction.he is back in friesland and is studying.we really do love eachother but maybe its was too soon for a serious relationship
