The best carnaval yet…

Was when I was 19 and living in St. Maarten, Dutch Antilles.

I stayed up all night with my BFF Jen, and the next morning at 4.30 we went in the crowd doing the “jump up”.

I have no pictures or videos of that period (I cannot even remember the greatest carnaval song) but it might have been something like in this video.

Mind you, I did not wear the bikinis, just some shorts and tshirt. Oh, all sizes are welcome in this video (which gave me confidence in that time, and still, for having a large booty) 

 

one of my fave Dutch commercials

This commercial ticks my boxes on several levels:

1. I love the confidence the main character oozes
2. I really like the seedy bar/discotheque setting: it reminds me of Costa del Slumb vacations
3. I love the look on the woman’s face (as he’s making his dancing moves)
4. the next morning: have you ever had such a view?

 
The commercial is about Holland Casino, and is explaining playing tip no 9: “Know when it is time to stop”

Home Sweet Home

After being away for three months, I am home again! The three months in Liverpool were both fantastic as a pain-in-the-@#$. Fantastic were the nights out:
