is that drug use is very little in Holland because "the curiosity of the forbidden fruit" has been taken away. It's the same with alcohol.
There's no legal limit to when you can start drinking. On vacations to France my parents actually encouraged my brother and I to drink wine (I was about 8 years old) because that's part of the French culture. When and how did you start modeling?
I had been accepted to a college called Tunon. It's a school for the study of public relations, business- and hotel management and different languages, which I'd already studied in high
school (French, English, German and Dutch). I was looking forward to going there, but my plans changed after a modeling agency from Belgium asked me to sign a contract with them. They responded to a school picture that I had sent
in for a modeling contest organized by a popular magazine. I didn't win anything but they obviously thought I had some sort of potential. So I decided to do it for a year and then go back to college. Yeah right! Now, many years later, I have taught myself photography, photoshop editing, and website building by paying attention to the masters of the business who I've had the privilege of
working with on many occassions.
I do everything on my site myself and have built my "sister's" site as well. I've done most of the photography on her site and maintain it as well. Besides that I still model plenty, still traveling the world doing lots of fashion, commercial and pinup/glamour work.
How was it to model in the nude for Playboy?
The first day it was a little odd, but then you realize that everybody around you has seen hundreds of naked girls so all of a sudden it's not a big deal anymore and you seem to
forget that you even need clothes at all. Every day after the shoot the make up artist had to remind me to put my clothes back on, because I would just step in my car and go home naked.(okay, just kidding). Did you have a good experience doing Playboy?
Yes, but it took me a while though. The "celebrity status" that comes with it and that people were interested in my autograph seemed a little strange to me. I had always worked
well as a model, but nobody had ever been interested in my autograph. It was a little overwhelming since I had always been a very private person. Anyway, I got used to it real fast and started liking it more and more. At this point
I really like it and especially by having this website I've come close to many of my fans. I love interacting with them, reading and responding to the emails I get and interacting with them during my biweekly webcam chat.
Has Playboy helped your career?
After I did the issue, I lost certain jobs, but gained new ones too. So that remained about the same. Through fashion modeling I've traveled all over the world, but with Playboy I got to go
to countries I would have probably never gone to like the Czech Republic, Russia, Croatia and Taiwan. I became the very first playmate in the launch issues of those Countries and playmate of the year in Holland in 1995, so I guess
you can call those titles pretty good career achievements. For the rest I've been doing quite a bit of commercials (beer, hair products, soft- drinks, toothpaste etc. etc.). I have also done some acting and television hosting jobs,
but I can't say that I got those things due to having done playboy. Playboy has and does send me out on auditions, but what's kept me from landing acting parts is that I've always had a slight accent. I say words like three that
sound like tree. I've gotten much better; people hardly ask me anymore where I come from. Anyway what hasn't happened can still happen; I'm still very ambitious. What does your family think of all you've done and now this web site?
Most of my family thinks it's great, some think it's terrible (the jealous ones), my mother is super proud and my grandmother thinks I have sinned and should ask for forgiveness.
Oh well! What's your favorite color, food, t.v.-show, music, movie, book, animal, and thing to do?
Blue, cereal, Seinfeld, all classic rock (especially Jimmy Hendrix), The Pink Panther, The seven
spiritual laws to success by Deepak Chopra, Island and Brave new World by Aldous Huxley (sorry couldn't just name one book), Newfoundland dogs (I own 2 of them) and relax (which I never seem to have the time for unfortunately).
How do you like the mansion and Hef?
The mansion is like a little castle. It's been untouched since the seventies; you can still find the authentic orange carpet and the brown- and purple walls there. I don't mean
that it's old and run down looking or anything, but the authentic things are still all there. When I became a playmate and met Hef, he seemed very shy. But now after his separation from Kimberly and the discovery of Viagra, he
seems to have gotten his wild hairs back. Do you have any sisters?
I have one brother who's older than I am, and I have of course "Nathalie" who is my sister by heart. We don't share the same parents, but we are
both from Holland, wear the same size clothing and shoes, are the same age, basically look like twins and we always have and still will always be the best of friends. On my member's site I have a section called "Sisterlove" which
has great pictures of us together, as well as on Nathalie's site, where it's called "Sister Act" and features different pictures.
How can we find out even more about you?
You'll have to join my
site! I love to write and I am very creative. I have thousands and thousands of high quality and large sized pictures featured of myself which get added to every single week, tons of pictures of my girlfriends- and my girlfriends
and I together, the "Sisterlove" section, videos, of course a much larger "Question and Answer" section in which your questions will be answered by me, and "My Take" in which I make you part of my life
and travels etc. etc. With every gallery, I always write a story, how the gallery came about, or what I think of it, I talk about my girlfriends etc. etc. After you've gone through every square inch of my site (which will take you
a long time-- that's how large the site is), you'll know me inside and out. For much much more and many more intimate-, fun
and great questions and answers, Please join my "Red Light District" for a true experience you'll never forget and will never regret!!! |
