It's very hard to write stories often, because I don't have internet in my appartment
and when I take my computer to school I only have a little time and besides that the internet is fucking slow
and that is why I can't put my pictures on my blog because it took like 5 minutes for one picture to upload and I have never been very patienced.
But for as far as words can show you enough of my life here, I'll try and tell.
Actually, I don't really know what to tell. Yeah, it's fun. It's beautiful. School is nice.
I've made a very good friend, Sarah with who I hang out like all the time.
She's my very best friend here and I think when she would go I would die of loneliness because there aren't many other people I can hang out with. People are very friendly, but it's like, the italians stick with the italians, the german with the german, etc etc so that kind of sucks because the whole beautiful idea of international friends is sort of bull shit.
Me and my french friend are quite special in that way.
But how I miss talking dutch sometimes. Sarah's english is worse than mine so a lot of the time we don't even understand eachother.
The other day we talked in bull-shit language. like ' haraglamishakrimagoeloe'
and we actually understood eachother.
A man came to us and asked ' what language is that you're speaking?' and we had to improvise like crazy but we got away with it quite fine.
He said ' where are you from' and I said ' a small country close to china' HAHA how dumb can you ever be to believe that, as if me and a french girl look like some middle of nowhere - pakistan people. he said ' what is your nationality' and we were talking to eachother in the bullshit language with a tone like ' i don't know, do you?' that was a kind of panic moment. We ended up saying ' we don't really have a nationality, it's a mix of a lot of nationalities'.
And that is just one of the 1283107 crazy situations me and sarah have been in.
I'll tell you another one, cause it's worth telling.
We were at a metro station somewhere downtown waiting for our metro.
As always, there were all homeless junky fucked up people walking around smelling of poo and asking for change.
But there was one guy (?) who walked like he had a stick in his ass and had a voice of a 12 year old girl.
he started talking to us and I must say he was hilarious.
He told us he was a gipsy and he could look into the future.
So we asked about our future.
He said we are going to be very rich. Sarah is going to have twins and me, i'll have three kids (KILL ME PLEASE)
He said I'll have my first record and boys will be in love with me. and sarah will find her dreamboy.
So how that sounded quite good.
But because he also said I look like Shakira, I don't really think anything of what he sais is close to the truth.
He shaked Sarah's hand as the metro was arriving. she didn't touch her hand for the rest of the day until she found a place to wash it. hahahahaha.
Today we were at Hermose Beach, and again, I fell head over heels in love with Los Angeles.
We were having lunch on a big balcony with view over the beach and the ocean.
It was warm and down at the beach people were chilling and playing volleyball (I feel it's some sort of californian obsession, volleyball)
in the restaurant they were playing beach boys and that kind of music and I felt perfectly happy.
Heaven excists.

In the Californian Sun
So there I am, sitting in the student lounge of my EF school, with my cute little laptop.
In the south of California, south of Los Angeles, called 'South Bay', Redondo Beach.
When I walk out of the school and look down the street I can see the blue ocean.
There are hills surrounding my neighborhood, all packed with white houses.
At the sides of the roads are palms and bushes with pink flowers.
Damn, how I love Los Angeles.
there are a very few cities in the world with which you can fall in love.
And I think Los Angeles is one of them.
When I was driving in a bus yesterday, I passed venice beach and west hollywood.
I think of this place as some sort of paradise.
Everywhere are houses in all kind of colours, like pink, yellow, blue.
Every house has his own pool and garden full of flowers.
the streets are full of this inmense tall palmtrees and other trees.
More downtown are the HUGE buildings, and it was quite like new york, only tropical.
And that is actually what Los Angeles is. It's a modern city, only tropical.
And to me that is the perfect combination.
Down the beach the city dissapears and the tropical part takes over.
The beaches are beautiful. People are skating and running at the boulevard, on the beach people are playing volleyball & in the water people are surfing.
Now I know it wasn't stupid at all, not liking new york that much.
Los Angeles is 10 times better.
Redondo beach does not represent Los Angeles in a good way.
Redondo beach is kind of boring and dead, when you compare it to some other parts.
It is more of a beach place, and nothing more than that.
Houses, cars, and a beach. that's it. No shops, no buildings, nothing to do.
That is the big disadvantage of Redondo beach, together with the fact that it is quite in the middle of nowhere and with public transport of bike all the other places are far away.
Santa Monica & Hermosa beach is not that far, but still waaay to far to walk.
It's a bit isolated here. I don't really like that. Going to Downtown is a whole day activity.
I got some pictures, I'll put those in my next message.

L.A. HERE I COME
DAMN I can't wait to go to lovely, lovely los angeles.
Redondo beach is where i'll stay and as far as I can tell redondo beach is goood.
i'll keep on writing while I'm in LA cause there's wireless internet at the school. yeahh
home again
After I got home from New York I've been more busy than ever.I graduated this year so I went home to be at my graduation.A few days later me and my girl Britt went on a holiday to Rimini with Beachmasters.This holiday was crazy, exactly as we thought it would be, at least these aspects:Everynight a different party at different clubshouse music and dj's and dancing crazydrinking cocktails and other drinks. a little bit too much.waking up at 4 and walking all sleepy to the beach and laying there till it's time for dinnerhave dinner at a restaurant eating pizza or lasagne. dressing up at the hotelroom and singing along to stupid music like the vengaboys hahah.Britt and me are special because of our conversations about e-ve-ry-thing. especially about life and what to do with our time. deep, very deep.
when I got home me and my boyfriend decided to go away for a few daysso I was home for only one day.We stayed in Holland, 2 hours away from my home in a hotel somewhere in the middle of the forest.It was relaxed and I really needed that. I'm always most relaxed when I'm with him.He's making me feel comfortable and I love that.
love

Last New York Story
I owe you the last new york story.
the last weekend me & ilona went to the Hamptons, some place near New York where all the wealthy & fancy people have their mansions.
and. those. houses. are. BIG.
daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn you should've seen me sitting in the car looking at all these sick bigass houses
and I never been more motivated to do this modelling.
money money money
eventhough I guess I have to work 45 years before I can afford a house like that.
We all went over at the place of 2 guys who just had their house open for everybody they knew just to come and hang out or whatever. what else to do with all the space?
The house was full of models and the two owners were just sitting at the couch. Me and Ilona dressed up an we all went out. The club wasn't too cool but the music absolutely was.
Home again, everybody jumped in the jacuzzi and sat there until the sun came up again.The next day everybody slept till 3pm
but I was already up at 11am. So I sat down at the pool enjoying the sun and feeling sorry for the cleaner, cleaning the whooole house.
I just lay on an airbed in the swimmingpool. I got a tan and I was scared to death looking in the mirror.I got like 4 teints darker and as a model you shouldn't get tanned so I was all stressed out what they would say when I'd come at the agency. (they didn't even notice though).
Another little story which is quite fun to tell, is the following.
Me and the 3 girls were dining at a restaurant near our appartement.We were just sitting there talking and eating
when whitney of 'the hills' walked in with her boyfriend.
I never watch that show but ofcourse I recognized her. I said to Nicole 'don't look, but whitney of the hills just walked in'ofcourse she looked. 'OMG OMG'. obviously she is a bigger fan than I am.Whitney and her boyfriend sat down in the back of the restaurant. Nicole couldn't stop lookingand it was so funny because some times I cought her staring all scary at them. "nicole you're doing it again!"
The second part of the story is that Alex, our friend began to act all uncomfortable and looking sad.
He explained he used to date whitney and it was weird to see her again
because at some point she just stopped texting him and started to ignore him and he didn't know why.
It was so sad and it was SO weird to hear that because whitney actually was his ex-girlfriend?!
The freakiest of all was, when he told he even been in the show for a few episodes.I haven't looked it up yet but friends told me they remember a guy called alex so i guess it was true.
how crazy is that?
some pictures of the mansion at the hamptons. still don't know why blogspot puts pictures on their sides without reason but it ignores me all fucking crazy

oops
I'd like to apologize for the horrible mistakes I make when I write stories.
I kind of want to kill myself when I read my stories and see things like 'way' instead of 'why' & 'are' instead of 'our'.
Guess I'm more stupid than I thought.. bummer.
hope you'll forgive me & otherwise screw yourself cause I'm not going to check every word I'm typing.
right now i'm going to check all my stories because my parents say it's a good practice and I guess I need that.

piccaaaa
Some pictures of the modellounge I told about + pictures of my way to the agency (now you can see what I am seeing almost everyday)
nice view
we got nailpolish so we painted our nails pink hihihi
My way to the agency. Although a big part is missing. My walk from the appartement to astor place (which is VERY LONG) and then one stop with the 6-train uptown. then I walk outof the subway station and that is where the pictures continue:
The little park at union square. I think of it as the dead-people-park because everybody there is lying in the grass as if being dead and sometimes it gets so scary it looks like a battlefield of a war or something. I guess that is the local place to sleep if you haven't slept enough in your bed.

Union Square. Some days in the week there's a market, which is very cute. sometimes art and touristic stuff and sometimes a food market with all healthy things.
A very, very important stop in the morning; starbucks. (don't know why it's on its side)
Fifth Ave. it's going right through new york, it's exactly in the middle. that is why the streets on the west side of the ave are called 'West 14th street' and on the other side 'east 14th street', which looks quite funny when you're standing between the signs.
The elevator in which i've been standing for so many times already. always to the third floor.
There we are, at the agency. It's a really nice agency. It's very big and spacey with couches and all. sometimes I just go and hang around, sitting at the computer, calling my parents.
The table in the middle is where all the bookers are sitting. on the right side sits mine.

'Wow that tiny fat dude looks like Kanye West'
Me and my friends and some others girls went out on a diner at a sushi place.
We had to wait for our table so we sat down at the lounge.
A guy walked by all on is own and I looked at him and I said to the other girls
'wow look at that guy he looks like kanye west' but they were all like no way.
And I also really couldn't believe it because he was very small, and he looked fat.
And that is not how I picture Kanye West.
Anyway, finally our table was ready so we sat there.
The table next to us was like the head table in the whole restaurant and was full of people.
At the head of the table the same guy was seated as we saw in the lounge.
and that was when it started to occur to me and everybody else.
The guy sitting there actually wás kanye west.
He was having a diner with all this fancy friends and a black topmodel (uhh jessica white was her name)
and it was SO weird and SO hard not to look at him all the time.
famous people are so interesting to look at, I don't really know why.
But yay it was the first celebrity in New York I spotted! (finally after three weeks).
He went to the same club as we all did so we saw him there again.
It feels kind of weird to be going out at the same place as kanye west hahaha.
There was this other famous dude but I didn't knew him
But all the other girls around me nearly fainted so I felt like a noob.
He was an actor from 'gossip girl' . he's playing a guy named chuck and I have no idea what his real name is.
His table was next to ours so everybody was looking at him like the whoooole time
I also did, eventhough he just looked like a normal guy to me. only surrounded by like 20 pretty girls
who are desperately trying to get his attention. oh, what a life.
well, that was my exciting celebtrity story, woohoo.
If i would be staying one day longer I could tell about lady gaga cause she's giving a free concert at central park and it SUCKS that I'm missing that because I would love to see her performing.
oh well.

stories
It has been way too long since I wrote something.
I didn't feel like it this week. My mood was kind of bad all week
but now it's finally getting better.
Just one week left and I'll be coming home again.
Can't wait, actually. New York is fun, but I wouldn't want to stay here longer.
There are so many things I have done and which I can talk about,
I don't really know where to start.
I’ll start with something from a week ago.
I guess I haven’t told about the model lounge.
The model lounge is some lounge where you can hang out when you’re a model (kind of logical)
You can get there free food and drinks and all, and everyday they give away things like dresses and shoes and bikinis. Yes, that’s nice.
Anyway, the lounge is opened from Monday till Thursday. On Friday the lounge is located at another spot. It’s the roof of some fancy hotel at 9th ave. It’s the penthouse with a pool and a roofgarden and goshhhh it is nice.
Ilse and I went there and relaxed allover and ate some sushi. You could get free massages also but we didn’t do that (why didn’t we do that?).
Yesterday there was this amazing brunch but stupid ass jessica didn’t go because she had to start at three and brunch was at twelve (waaay too early).
HAHA there’s another thing I really need to tell about.
The modellounge also gives free tickets to concerts. So Nicole and I went to one, eventhough we had no idea who the artist was. We only knew one song, the one that goes like ‘what do you want from me’.
Anyway we got there with 4 other models. The first dissapointement was the concert hall. I thought it would be HUGE and that was also why we went, to see the enormous hall.
But it was like not even as big as heineken music hall and something like two times paradiso. I found that quite sad for a concert hall at times square.
So at that point we found that the only thing we were there for, were the musicians.
So the first came (there were 2 small performances before the headperformance).
I was scared to death when these people came walking the stage
They were all like dressed up emo style with purple hair and tutu’s and chains and all and when they start playing I litteraly put my hands on my ears because it was SO LOUD
My punkrock period is way in the past and I never got to understand the music again.
All those guitars giving me a headache and the drummer trying to smash his drums and this leadsinger girl with red hair jumping around as having some sort of spasmatic attack.
No, I did not like the first concert.
But we had good hope for the second one.
This was a girl called orianthi and she looked kind of cool with blonde hair and a cool outfit and when she started playing and singing it sounded good. I was shocked when I found out that I actually knew one song, maybe you do too. It’s called ‘according to you’ and it’s kind of fun. She did some solo’s which were cool but after 5 of them it got kind of boring.
But all this time we stayed, because we wanted to see the guy we came for.
On the way in we saw some t-shirts with disturbing pictures of him where he looked like gay gothic gay, but then we were like , nah he’ll be normal.
But omg….
It went like this;
We were waiting for an hour already so we were getting very unpatienced (just like everybody else in the room).
So when FINALLY the lights were turned down everybody started screaming like crazy. Even before the show started it was already sad. At the back of the stage there was some sad powerpoint playing with all these scary gay pictures of him. But when he entered the stage.. omg I was like.. I couldn’t say a word. I was too shocked.
He stood there on the top of a (very sad) little stairs wearing a long purple coat with feathers on it, shiny leather pants, a very deep v-neck top with 100 silver necklaces, leather gloves, a high purple hat with feathers and he was wearing silver makeup.
Can you imagine what that looked like?
When he took off his coat all the girls start screaming as if they died and I got all crazy as in HOW COULD YOU FIND THAT SEXY
W000t I know like, Bill from tokio hotel is bad, but this was like 137120837 times WORSE
And OMG when he started dancing
I wanted to kill myself.
He was like dancing very sensual like a snake and all and oh god, you don’t want to know what that looked like especially in THOSE PANTS.
We stayed for 4 songs and then we took of.
Damn, that was some waste of time.
I didn't feel like it this week. My mood was kind of bad all week

New York Night Life
We were looking forward to it all week: FRIDAY NIGHT
We had the plan to go to the hamptons
some fancy place near manhatten with a beach and expensive beach houses with pools and big gardens.
But we didn't go there.. Ilona & Renee were out of credit so we could contact them
and had no idea how to come there.
So me and Ilse (Nicole wasn't going, she had to work the next day) were all desperate
cause we didn't know where to go and all.
Thank god one of the french girls asked if we wanted to go with her.
We could come with her, the other french girl, and their friends.
We met somewhere and went to the first club.
When we got in it was all empty so we were like okay… and sat down at a table.
People starting to serve bottles of vodka and tequila and snacks
And we could drink/eat for free all the time. I felt all celebrity-ish haha
There were starting to arrive more and more people and in no time the whole club was packed.
People were dancing and the music was awesome. Me and Ilse were going crazy
drinking this amazingly delicious mix of vodka and cranberry juice. God it was like drinking lemonade. Only difference; we were getting a bit oeh lala and I think I would cry in shame if I saw a film on which I got filmed at that moment.
The part between the first club to the second is one I can’t really describe. (hi-hi)
What I do can describe is me and ilse having the time of our lifes in the second club.
The music was so cool and we were dancing on tables and couches, also something I wouldn’t like to see on film.
I “made friends” (at least I felt like that) with some bodyguard who was like 2 meters long and SOO HUGE.
It’s quite embarrassing cause I wanted to make pictures with him but a bit too often so I’m like on 5 pictures with him hahahhaha I wonder what he was thinking. ‘poor girl, can’t handle alcohol’.
Anyway me and ilse decided to go home (we both don’t remember why) so got a cab.
I remember hanging out of the window calling “JOEHOOEE’ to people
I don’t know why I’m writing this on me blog, I should be ashamed.
Saturday we went again.
Firstly we went on a dinner with some other girls (who were depressingly handsome) and ate a actual meal (used to crueslie or knackebrod).
The club was downstairs. We went there and started drinking again.
During the meal we got some tequila cocktail but it was just like drinking a full glass of tequila which wasn't so nice. After that we got a mojito but we also couldn’t drink that because that also tasted like 50% full alcohol and I don’t actually like the taste of alcohol. It should taste of strawberry lemonade. Or something like that.
We started dancing and when O.M.G. by Usher came we climbed up a stage and danced like idiots.
And that went on for 3 hours when I started to get tired and sat down on the couch and couldn’t get off it anymore.
That’s how the night ended.
such a nice weekend it was.
Some of the thousands of pictures. Curly hair is friday, straight hair is saturday
We had the plan to go to the hamptons
some fancy place near manhatten with a beach and expensive beach houses with pools and big gardens.
But we didn't go there.. Ilona & Renee were out of credit so we could contact them
and had no idea how to come there.
So me and Ilse (Nicole wasn't going, she had to work the next day) were all desperate
cause we didn't know where to go and all.
Thank god one of the french girls asked if we wanted to go with her.
We could come with her, the other french girl, and their friends.
We met somewhere and went to the first club.
When we got in it was all empty so we were like okay… and sat down at a table.
People starting to serve bottles of vodka and tequila and snacks
And we could drink/eat for free all the time. I felt all celebrity-ish haha
There were starting to arrive more and more people and in no time the whole club was packed.
People were dancing and the music was awesome. Me and Ilse were going crazy
drinking this amazingly delicious mix of vodka and cranberry juice. God it was like drinking lemonade. Only difference; we were getting a bit oeh lala and I think I would cry in shame if I saw a film on which I got filmed at that moment.

Newest Pictures
Me and the girls pimped up the wall and gave it a bit more colour (eventhough it already was BRIGHT green). We took pictures etc and this is the result and our little piece of art:
55th street near central park and 7th ave.
I looked up and I was like OMG SO HIGH
This was the first time I really had that. Special, special moment, people:
Walking around at central park; Me, A RABBIT?! & Ilone
Me and sweet Ilse. Look at my new wedges I got for 20 dollars
and which are so adorable.
EAT A CHEESEBURGER
%^&$%$*(^%( DARN I was writing this damn long message and then it dissapeared FAKIT then. i'll. start. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaall over again I guess?
Girls who are models are all used to kinds of attention
for example girls asking all kind of questions about modelling.
I don't really understand why but people are always utterly interested in models
like models are some other specie or different kind of humans.
I guess that is the consequence of all the programs on televisions and in magazines.
In Holland I kind of understood it because there aren't a lot of models walking around all day
and people not really being used to it.
I really was expected this to be different in New York,
and expecting this to be more normal and common.
But when I came here I was SHOCKED by how people staaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaare
at me and other models like they're seeing fckin britney spears or something.
I'm not exaggerating while saying people literally
STOP walking and turn around to look at you.
And now I'm not even talking about the SUPER SUPER NASTY old men making all kinds of SUPER NASTY comments.
When you walk past like a cafe or starbucks people stare out of the window.
I didn't expected this, I really didn't.
There are sooo many models here.
I feel like it's some sort of different group of people, apart from the rest of the city.
It's always the same, men stare crazily and women give angry and bitchy looks and making bitchy comments like 'omg look at those models'.
I wonder why people always assume models with arrogance.
People think models feel like they're on top of the world and above all other people.
I guess that is why women react like that.
It's quite hard though, to have people saying things like that
and looking at you as if they know you, and know you're proud and a bitch.
Not to mention all the comments we get at being skinny.
the DUMMEST people in the WHOLE fckin world are those who think
ALL skinny or thin people, have a eating disorder or something like anorexia.
I guess it's too hard to figure out that some people are BUILD in some kind of ways
like some are build big and never will be tiny.
Even if I wánted to be fat, I could never be fat.
Just like some fat people ne-ver will get skinny.
boooooooooooooooooneeee struuuucttuuurreeeee...?!??!?!?!?
Excuse my agressivity.
But when you here every single m.f'in day things like
'GAIN SOMETHING'
you kind of get frustrated.
I'm ashamed when I'm eating an apple while walking on the street
because all the sad and fat people here immediatly are thinking something like "oh look that is her meal for today".
One of my friends was opening a pack of crisps and some person said 'Thank God, she's eating'.
Only when I'm in a good mood I can laugh about things.
Or when I think about it later.
Like some fat man on a bike yelled 'EAT A CHEESEBURGER'
I got all agressive but it actually is kind of funny when you think of it.
I hope I get used to it really soon and can give like the most arrogant and bitchy reactions.
'don't cry because you're fat, baby'.
From now on I'll keep a list of the saddest/funniest/bitchiest comments me and my friends hear.
For now;
1. 'Eat a cheeseburger'
2. 'thank god, she's eating'
3. 'gain something!'

A Free Saturday With Nicole.
Yesterday, saturday, we all had a day off. That is way we decided to be doing some fun stuff we wanted to do all week but hadn't done yet. Me and Nicole decided to go to the Museum of Natural History, Central Park and Times Square. Because we made too many pictures and there is way too much to tell about, I'll just show the pictures with telling where and when they were taken.
The view from a tower in the museum;
We walked towards Central park and the weather was all sunny and warm.
We sat there for like half an hour enjoying this beautiful view and looked at the cute turtles who were swimming around in the water and smelling the nature of central park.
And of course we also went to M&M World.
Times square by dark was breath-taking.
Nicole, Me, Ilse & Ilone sitting on the stairs.
Me and my lovely lady Nicole
We went to the museum at the start of the day. It was the coolest museum I've ever been to.
It's HUGE there and almost éverything is interesting. I'd love to go again!
The Ocean Hall: (the thing on the left is a whale)
all kinds of animals in all different environments
The view from a tower in the museum;
We walked towards Central park and the weather was all sunny and warm.
When we got to the lake we saw all these cute little boates with people relaxing in them
At this very moment I fell in love with New York.
We sat there for like half an hour enjoying this beautiful view and looked at the cute turtles who were swimming around in the water and smelling the nature of central park.
Then we got up and went to times square and start looking around at some store.
We got all crazy when we got at the barbie part of the toys r rus
because there actually was a bigass barbie house FULL with barbies.
And of course we also went to M&M World.
but got quite dissapointed when we found out that the m&m costed 13 dollars per pound.
Times square by dark was breath-taking.
I've never seen something so crazy and hysteric and colourful as this.
You could just sit down somewhere and look around
and you'll be enjoying yourself for like hours.
Nicole, Me, Ilse & Ilone sitting on the stairs.
A good end of a good day.
Sunny Days
These past days I've been doing lots of things.
Firstly I went on my own to castings an gosee's, without someone going with me.
It actually went quite well, while I was very scared to be doing this.
I had to go to Saks and J. Crew and they both went well. Woohoo I'm getting independant!
(except for the moment when I tried to cross the street but it was way busy so I was standig there like 5 minutes trying to get to the other side when it occured to me that I should use crosswalk)
Later that day I had a shoot in Central park so I already went there. But the sky looked all black and scary so I walked around looking for some cafe to drink something.
I saw a starbucks but walked past it looking for something else
but never. look. for. cafe's. near. 81th. street. because there AREN'T ANY
after a utter tiring walk all around the history museum (WHICH IS BIG)
I ended up at starbucks.
The shoot at central park was shot by photographer Michael Donovan.
He is an ex-standupcomedian and how he made that clear
He was so funny I kept laughing and the make up artist got quite mad at me because I didn't keep my face straight.
The pictures were all different than I ever done. It was like beasty and sexual
And that may sound all terrifying but you should see the results.
Finally something different than all these boring romantic pictures allover my book.
Anyway.
After that I went home quickly because we had to go to a fashion show to which we were invited (the trump models),
to be seated in the audience. It all was going to be filmed, because it was part of a tv show, of Donald Trump. (called the apprentice or something like that)
So we all got dressed up fancy and headed over there (while walking every 10 seconds some dirty man had some dirty reaction).
Like, that is like, só Sex and the City.
the cuties seated behind me. At this very moment everybody was looking like
oh my god look at those kids finding themselves fancy.
fuck them, we wére fancy.
While we were waiting for amazing donald trump to appear (I got SO curious because I had no idea how he was like)
Me and samantha were being seated somewhere else.
guess what, we were seated RIGHT next to donald trumps seat.
Miss USA was already seated there (samantha lost her mind because she loves her and now was sitting next to her and talking with her)
The audience had to give an applause when Donald appeared
so when people start clapping I looked around all crazy looking for him.
he walk by me and samantha and he said 'hi ladies how are you doing tonight'
and (finally) it occured to me that we were only seated there, so donald trump had young ladies sitting around him.
Anyway, the show began and it got all american (as far as it wasn't already).
These smiling, "sexy" walking models wearing polo's and 3/4 pants with crazy sandals
and everytime we had to applause, that was utterly boring.
but later on the men came and they made quite a show of it and that was fun.
especially the final when they all came wearing nothing but black underpants and shoes.

The view I had when I was sitting on the stairs in the middle of Times Square
Walking along the streets on our way to castings
The Appartement, Living Room.
the city
Right now I'm sitting on the couch in the appartement
with all the other girls. Ilse, Nicole and I went to the supermarket
and once again got really upset about the insane prices of everything.
Everyting costed Ilse 42 dollars, mine were 30. How crazy is that.
But still I got delicious things like muesli with strawberries and nut bars.
I actually starting to enjoy myself in the city
I getting more relaxed and starting to find my way.
Yesterday when I had an hour off I went to times square and just sat there and looked around.
I've never seen a place as crazy as times square.
All the colours, it's like an explosion. An explosion of colours and light and sounds.
And tourists, damnit.
Today I had my walking lessons at the agency together with Ilse.
The lesson was giving by a drag queen so we both were really curious to see 'her'.
When she arrived she actually looked like a woman so it wasn't as excited as it sounded, pity.
But the lesson was very useful and she said a lot of things I really didn't knew.
We watched videos of shows with different kind of walks and then tried at ourselves.
So now, we´re like so ready to do dior haute couture, gosh.
She kept saying ´Gorge!` . oh my gosh that is like so gorge.
It kind of shocked me how often people use the word ´like´ in new york.
`Like, it was like, a place with like, these people, they were like that and i was like that.`
and it shocked me today that I actually start to say it myself.
HELP I´M GETTING AMERICAN
oh! crucial style note; like it or not, but EVERYBODY here is walking on wedges.
e-ve-ry-bo-dy.
the higher the better, from wood to bamboo with leather or suède, all kinds of colours.
Of course they were hip already but this is quite obsessive so I thought i'd better mention it.
In case you wanted to look like the Incredible Fabulously Looking New York Fashionistassss (huhu)
Tomorrow me and the other girs are invited to the tv show of donald trump to sit in the audience hahahahaha how funny is that.
we will be watching the 'rockport fashion show'!
I'm utterly excited, ladies and gentlemen.
We are asked to dress up, heels, nice hair and makeup.
So that'll be fun. Thank god I got a dress on me because I can't really efford a new one
eventhough Forever 21 is calling me 24/7 'BUY ALL MY CUTE DRESSES PLEASE'
and when I'm walking on union square it kind of atracts me like magnetic forces
and I caaaaan't ignore it.
New York shopping is as addicting as drugs (no mum, I haven't experienced that, just assuming)

the first pictures
I don't know why it's on its side but when you bend your head to the right
you'll find the new york skyline
when we drove into the city we had this view and it was the best welcome present I'd could have
because it was utterly beautiful.
new york by dawn is one of the most loveliest things I've ever seen.
Me and Nicole
hihihihihihi
