About Me


Someone said it takes 15 seconds to make a first impression and the rest of your life to undo it. Puts the pressure on doesn't it?
Soit... about me: I love: making movies * teasing * being overdressed for the occasion * wearing high heels and getting drunk to ease the pain they're bringing me * the Martino's spaghetti bolognese à la crème * red lipstick and pearls * forties/fifties/sixties lifestyle * summertime * bugging people for fun * lazy Sundays * being tackled and cuddled by my boons * observing people * taking pictures * singing along the tunes I'm dancing to * R-E-S-P-E-C-T * going to the cinema at 2 pm * chocotoffs!! * flexibility * being on my own * San Francisco during Indian Summer * drama * People take me for an icequeen * I'm not * I'm an incredibly good but old-fashioned cook, i like to make dinner like an Italian grandmother would : with a lot of sauce, a lot of oil and a lot of calories * I prefer to shut up than to talk shit * I like booze, sex, rock'n'roll and i have no dislike of drugs, but i do dislike people who are addicted to them.
I hate: disrespect * being told what to do * rudeness * strangers touching me * snoozing * alarm clocks * all kinds of buzzing or crawling insects * winter * not being able to breathe through my nose * naggers & misers. I'm scared of pigeons!
In a passed life I was a promo girl, a tour photographer, a stand-in, a model, a host on fairs, a publicist, a cocktail waitress and a TV-show sidekick. I wanted to become a diplomat but dropped out of college to start earning money. And because my Economy professor flunked me ;-).
In a more recent life I worked as a press & project manager and chief editor on a book on architecture, design and fashion. Got bored, resigned, made up my mind and got a cool job in Antwerp!
And most important of all... i will be a june bride this year... as i will get married to my love, boony.
