"I went to high school at a
nearby town called Sneek (pronounced Snake). During my senior
year I sent a school picture to a magazine that was holding a
modeling contest. The winner would receive a contract with a
modeling agency in Brussels, Belgium. I didn't win, but I didn't
lose either, the agency that was backing the contest offered me
a contract as well. I'd always planned to continue my studies in foreign languages in college, as well as international relations, then try and get a job working for a multinational company like Phillips Electronics, (yes it's a Dutch Company) or work as a news reporter as a foreign correspondent. However this new offer looked to good to turn down. I figured I would do it for a year and then go back to college to continue my studies. Well, my career took off, and I don't think I could have gotten any better education in languages, international relations and corresponding (with my agency's) in any university. What started out as a year turned into many... bouncing around European cities such as Milan, Paris, Madrid, London different cities in Germany, as well as trips throughout North Africa, Australia and eventually America. Adjusting to America was easy. I instantly got an agent who paid for my working papers and helped me get a green card. I started booking jobs in New York, Miami and Chicago. It was in Miami that Playboy discovered me. They were in the midst of their search for the 40th anniversary issue Playmate, as well as shooting a pictorial on models who frequent Miami's very hip modeling scene. While searching for models, they found a composite of mine, and then proceeded to track me down. I was flattered with what they offered me, but wasn't interested because I was a "fashion model" and not a "nude model", so I thought. A few weeks later while in Australia, again they called me to see if I wanted to reconsider. After talking it over with all my family, friends, neighbors, and even my mom, I decided what the hell.. If Marilyn could do it 40 years earlier, then I wasn't in bad company. My problem had been that I was afraid I was going to loose a lot of clients, which I did, but I also gained some new ones, so it about evened out. The cool thing with Playboy was that I got to go to Russia, Taiwan, Croatia and The Chech Republic, where I became the very first Playmate in the launch issues of all of those countries. Back in Holland (The Netherlands) they crowned me Playmate of the year. Unfortunately they're not giving cars away over there, or 100 thousand cash for being the PMOY. Unfortunately over here an Anniversary Playmate has never been PMOY as well. I was hoping that maybe he would break that rule, but what the heck, can't have it all. Anyway, after the whole Playboy "thing", for some real stupid reason or being in a state of insanity for a day, I cut my hair really short. I guess it was a knee jerk reaction to seeing myself nude and not sure if I did the right thing. I thought I liked it (the short hair) for about 2 days, and then I absolutely hated it. But what do you do? I felt so unsexy (not a good feeling). The upside of all of this was that I booked a lot of commercials and other good jobs, but it forced me to keep my hair short. For two years, I totally didn't feel like "me" though and all my fans kept asking me when I was going to let it grow out again. Well everybody, good news, it's super long again. I had a baby boy on the 29th of July 1998 and it gave me the chance to take a good rest and let my hair grow out. While I enjoy motherhood to the fullest, and never knew a love like this existed, I've started to work again, doing commercials and print jobs, and obviously started this website. I'm pretty creative and this allows me to do what I want. (Let me know if that's a good-or a bad thing, ha ha). O.k., so that's where I am in life right now, hope you enjoyed getting to know a bit about it up until this point! If you join, you will see a ton of new photos of me, online chats etc. etc. as well as a bunch of other really cool stuff which will hopefully keep you coming back for more." |
