VIDEO: FASHIONSHOW DÉSAR & ARTS EXPOSITION ELS HENDRIKX 2013

On the 11th of May 2013, I made a road trip to Venlo, Southern Netherlands, to witness the 2nd edition of Monique Désar's Fashion Show & Arts Exposition by Els Hendrikx.

Last year, I could not attend the 1st edition due to some technical issues beyond my control so I promised myself that I would attend this year... and I did. I booked my ticket for the show a couple of months prior to the event just to be sure I could secure a seat. I'm lucky I did because the hall was filled to the brim: over 400 people were in attendance.

The journey to Venlo from Amsterdam was long so I decided to stay at a hotel for the night.

At the show, everything seemed to be going pretty fine until the battery of my camera ran down... any blogger's worst nightmare.... my Nokia phone did the rest of the job :)

Happy viewing.

What I learnt about Poland within my 1-week stay:

- Pork meat is widely/daily eaten in Poland

- Polish people would put a slice of lemon in tea, water, coke... I wonder in what else, but I loved it

- Don't order a Quarter Pounder at the McDonalds in Poland; they don't know what that is...

-... their ice-tea is highly diluted though

- Poland seems very stable and peaceful

- Do black folks live there? Just asking...

Ow what a day it was... What can i say. Getting all those people together. A model called off and since I was the Producer of the talkshow, I had to provide a replacement within 24 hours. I succeeded. We did it and here is the result. Thank you all for watching my videos.

VIDEO: MY FIRST FLIGHT

www.blessingnjoh.com




It was a cold winter day in January. A perfect flying temperature. I developed cold feet, literally and figuratively. This is the definition of irony: an aspiring pilot with a phobia for height.

I was excited about flying, yet terrified. I had nightmares the night before. What if I crash-land? Could we die today? I made sure I knew exactly where to find the emergency eviction switch in case the parachute was needed. Check. In place.

Prepared for take off, with a very broad grin on my face. Off I flew. I flew a few hours, did some stunts that made me feel like using the sick-bag. Then landed safely.

It was an awesome experience, I loved every nano-second of it.
I was born upside down. I crawled. I walked. I ran. I jumped. I flew, I fly.

Thanks for reading.

VIDEO: MODEL CONVENTION 2013

www.blessingnjoh.com




It was a great day. I was excited to be reporting from the annual Amsterdam Model Convention.

When we got to the venue, my plan was to do the intro right outside the convention centre but the snow would not let me and I did not have an umbrella with me.

Since part of the technical crew was out of the country, I called an old friend to come help out. She did a great job.

It was a long day for us.
Pitifully, I was not able to cover all aspects of the convention. At the end of the day, I was exhausted and sore.

Time to go home, the snow has worsened. But we did make a few new friends :)

It seemed like a marriage made in heaven. She was in love. She claims she thought he was in love too. "I feel used, abused," she says. This is a sad story. A must-watch.

My interview with Mariana Verkerk on the 24th of January 2013. Mariana has worked as a catwalk coach for Holland's Next Top Model, Benelux's Next Top Model, Norway's Next Top Model, and Model Search America. She has taken up the role of posing coach and guest judge for Scandanavia's Next Top Model and Denmark's Next Top Model, amongst others.

Mariana, who is based in New York, was recently in town to attend the just concluded Amsterdam Fashion Week and the upcoming Model Convention which she co-organises with business patner, Mauritz Briët.

After talking with Mariana, i got some very handy catwalk lessons and i also learnt that being a model isn't just about wearing clothes and being pretty, it entails hardwork and profound knowledge of the fashion industry.
We had fun doing this video.
