Glamour

I’m in the German GLAMOUR of 16 September, probably not for sale anymore though (I’m just a bit late with telling you this). The picture’s already from September 2007 and probably the worst I ever took of myself, but they wanted it because of my yellow tights, which are described as a ’trend’ right now, as you can see. I kinda really hate that word though.

Bottom picture, with all the plants. You’d probably recognize my dog better than me.

And of course I’m not Swedish either, but I know why they got it wrong. GLAMOUR found the picture at Stockholm Streetstyle first, of which the editor directed them to me. I did give them my address (which of course stated ‘The Netherlands’), but I guess they didn’t notice. Or they possibly just wanted an entry from Stockholm. Too bad they called me a ‘Fashionista’ too. I don’t really like ‘fashion’, I hate trends. What I love is style.

Some kind of translation: “Don’t use too many colors when you wear corlorful tights. This fashionista from Sweden truely does it the right way.”

Don’t get this all too wrong by the way, I appreciate the fact they wanted to feature me, but, you know.

    First congratulations to the feature. Now I know why I thought that this pic was familiar to me. I completely understand you, if you’re working in a magazine, you should do a good research and don’t get the facts wrong.
    Anyway enjoy your feature!

    Oh, that’s really cool. But too bad they didn’t mention you’re from a boring town. That would’ve been so much cooler. I don’t like it either when people are describing me as a person who is ‘born and raised in Amsterdam’.
    Nice pose btw…hahahahahahahahahaha.

    I thought the pic was familiar too. And I was convinced I know the shoes. Now I know why. So congrats on that!
    I think you could e-mail them that you’re not from Stockholm just to let them know their research was not okay.
