October 18, 200915 yr Here is the translation from the Marie Claire column, sorry if there are any mistakes, I had to do it really fast.the crazyness of fameDear readers. From this month on I will be writing a monthly column in Marie Claire in which I will be telling about my life. I want to start with the strangest aspect of it all: fame. Since 3 years I've been living in New York for most part of my time. A few weeks ago my parents and my sister Rens came to visit me. They were there for the celebration for the 400 years of Netherlands-New York on Governors Island. I found it really weird to take the ferry from Manhattan and then step into a Dutch crowd of people- which were also a lot of Frysians. But my parents had to go through something completely different: they were overwhelmed by all the press. I am used to it by now but my parents and sister found it weird. Always having to watch my behaviour can be hard sometimes. People see me as pure, honest and a family person, very different then Kate Moss for example who has this party image. When I am photographed on queensday dancing crazy , this image will get in danger. But even when I behave perfect, there is someone writing about me. Some time ago I read on facebook that I was dancing on the tables at a store opening. But there wasn't even music! I understand the fascination people have with famous people. I do the same. Some time ago I ran into Beyonce at a club. We talked and even danced. When I was talking to someone about her I had to keep my mouth shut to not say: 'I went out with her '.That side of my succes my parent could see on Governors Island. We were there to receive the book Gevierde Friezen, and to go to a photo exhibit which started with Peter Stuyvesant and ended with me. The commissaris from the queen Friesland opened the exhibition. In His speech he told that he was called by Obama who told him that he was actually Frysian; his real name was Obbema. Hilarious story. After that I shook hands with Willem Alexander en Maxima, but it was so busy that we couldn't have a nice conversation. When it ended my mom suggested that we could go cycling around Governors Island. Great idea ofcourse, but this would've been impossible- the press would not have left us alone. It took me some time to convince my mother of this. Eventually we took teh boat back to Manhattan and we went to a small Turkish restaurant where we ate and talked untill late in the night. For my parents this trip was an eyeopener. I've been flying all over the world for years, and have been working very hard. But now my mother has seen how much press there is, she keeps saying:'sweety, you must be tired'.
October 18, 200915 yr Oh, thank you so much, Jennifer! It's a nice column she's writing, I enjoyed reading. And it's nice how she's telling about something that felt important for her parents too.
