thank you all for following this blog and leaving comments and feedback.. it is much much appreciated !! btw.. u can also leave comments on my new blog.
The new blog will be published when my new website is done..
date to be announced.. i’m so excited !! =)
So a few months ago…..actually.. last year ! (time flies) I was very much inspired to do an androgynous shoot.. coincidentally (or not) i was around the same time.. contacted by Androgynous model Stephan Vermeulen of Androgyny Models in Enschede.. to do a shoot with him. I took this as a sign from the universe.. it had to be done. =)
So i had about another few days to leave back to Sint Maarten and NYC.. and i wanted so bad to have this in my portfolio before NYC. and of course for my new website =)
Sato (stylist) brought some really wicked stuff over.. exactly what i also had in mind for this shoot.. and Stephan drove all the way from Maastricht to be our model. I did a quick research on some androgynous makeup.. male makeup etc .. and went at it.. it was my first time.. doing makeup on a guy but hells yes.. i love it….
1.5 hours later.. two outfit changes…. and we were done with our shoot. Total shoot time including prep, settling into shooting, and packing up.. : 2.5 hours. now that’s how i love to do things.. quick shooting and getting what we set out to do . My doing makeup myself.. is saving me SO MUCH SHOOT TIME (prep) .. I often question myself.. why have i ever bothered to work with dutch MUA’d.. they take WAY too long.. and when they are really good and fast.. they are way too expensive.. (for me that is since i am freelance without a side income.. ) to MUA’s out there.. in holland that is.. no offense but seriously.. i don’t know what they teach at makeup school but TIME on set is very very important. and i am mentioning this because this is how i feel. hate me or love me for it.. it’s called honesty. maybe my honesty helps those of you out there to become better. this is what i hope by expressing myself aka not keeping it to myself.
anyhoes…..
the next shoot will be a bit more complicated qua timing and styling.. but also .. something very different.. i think i already know what i want.. with the same team. =) Thanks for reading and enjoy !

WATCH BLACKFISH – DOCUMENTARY ONLINE HERE
it’s free… and online.. and i still cannot bring myself to watch it. last time i saw clips from the cove .. i cried constantly for weeks on end.. just thinking about what is going on and knowing i can do NOTHING to change the situation except raise awareness and tell everyone i know. (and even for that i am prosecuted by ppl i thought were friends…) – the price u pay for fighting for what you believe in)
if you think you can watch this and not feel broken… please watch it. i think we all should. to get the education our leaders and governments hide from us. ..only to protect the billions they are making from this industry.
Lily came in for part of my photo shoot specials during January this year. I’ve finally had some time to finish up her blog It was a fun day.. we had 4 shoots in one day.. client in and client out.. the advantage to this is we can keep the costs low…. and we are constantly busy .. so there is a constant flow of creativity.. however the disadvantages .. the workload does not get any less.. it’s still hard work even more so than with a regular 3 hour shoot where we can take out time. and probably the most important.. with a speed shoot.. there is less time to get to know your client.. BUT if the balance is on point.. and energy pleasant.. it can be a win win situation.. which this was. Lily was a great model.. very natural.. and very easy to work with.. and she is not a professional.. medical student turned model for a day.. and she did a fantastic job.i love when something like this happens.. when a client surprises me.
These are a few shots from the shoot. we only had time to do one set of outfits. at the end of the day Lily was extremely happy with her photos. =) loads of thanks to my creative team..

So… last saturday i was SOOOO happy to see pineapples in the grocery stores here in Amsterdam. I know.. I sound like I live in a cave.. but pineapples.. have been quite difficult to come by.. I was happy as well that one pineapple.. medium-sized cost me less than 2 euros (1.69 to be exact) .. so happy with that.. compared to the prices on the island where I was born, the fruit and veggies are quite costly.. and you would think.. the Caribbean!! they should be investing in tropical fruits and trying to farm natural produce.. but no.. our government there is way too concerned with selling out the island, its people, our culture and our wildlife and other animals for their own profit and gain. quite sad. one pineapple can run you anywhere from 5 usd to 10 usd. no joke. ridiculous. Anyways… so I wanted to post because I promised myself I would post something everyday or at least try to ! so.. why am I so happy about pineapples???… cuz they’re deelish and sooo good for you and aids in losing weight, digestion, cleaning. so good ! so here is some info. if you didn’t know. now you do. =)
What have I done with my two pineapples.. ? (see image) well… i cut them up.. took the edible parts and put them in Tupperware to be saved for later (after I ate a few of course.. the best lunch ever ! – and the skin and all parts which are not edible.. I have thrown into a big pot w/added water and they are boiling as I type. when the water is done boiling.. i’ll have ‘pineapple water’ what i do then is I strain the water.. and put this in a plastic bottle.. hup.. in the refrigerator .. and there ya have it.. [pineapple water. Drink that through out the day.. and you’re gonna be quite happy with yourself after a few days (however long, the pineapple water lasts) I usually do 3 days. My skin always feels better, I have more energy, the cleansing works, and I feel thinner.. this is not an excuse to not exercise of course.. if you exercise.. you’ll lose that unwanted weight.. even quicker !!

Some benefits of PineApples
- Anti-inflammatory:
- Pineapple juice contains bromelain, a natural anti-inflammatory enzyme. This enzyme can rival potent pharmaceuticals such as NSAIDs and steroids. When bromelain is combined with Indian spice “turmeric” it is even more potent. It also aids with digestion by helping the body break down proteins.
- It helps healing of bruises and can alleviate arthritis pain .
- Digestive aid:
- Bromelain also aids with digestion by helping the body break down proteins.
- rival even the effects of potent pharmaceuticals such as NSAIDs and steroids, especially when bromelain is combined with the Indian spice turmeric (curcumin).
- Natural antioxidant:
- Pineapple juice is packed with vitamin C
- An 8-oz. serving of pineapple juice contains 75% of the daily recommended amount of vitamin C.. Vitamin Cas a natural antioxidant boosts the immune system.
- It helps tissue and healing of wounds.
- Energy booster:
- Pineapple juice contains thiamine and B6.
- Thiamine belongs to the vitamin B group.
- It helps convert carbohydrates into energy and boosts the immune system too.
- The vitamin B6 stabilizes the blood sugar.
- Kidney health:
- Pineapple juice is rich in potassium which promotes kidney function.
- The potassium helps you with electrolyte balance, which help with muscle cramps and soreness.Source: Step Into My Green World

My most recent easy-tape shoot. We did 4 hours of product shooting for their new instruction folder. These are just some snapshots from the day. when we went outside.. it was really sunny but very cold. Summer hadn’t hit us just yet. Don’t know what easy tape is? it is therapeutic tape used for sore muscles, aches, pains, RSI treatments etc.

I have always loved this band.. the message in this song is incredibly important. I have recently been bashed and slandered by my own people from the island i was born and raised on.. for believing in what i believe. animal rights, political justice.
but those who stand up for what they believe in.. are those who will always come out on top.
No one. Friend or foe. Can ever truly realise how strong. Weak. Fragile. Unbreakable or unpredictable u are. It will be advised to be strong. Stay strong. Be positive. Show positive. While u break. Because u break does not in any way mean defeat. It means human. U r but human. We care so much about ‘saving face’ ..not allowing ‘enemies’ the satisfaction of breaking you. Because u r honest in no way means that u are satisfying anyone. Or that u set out to satisfy or derail anyone from thinking anything.
What happened to feeling?
Sometimes i think of slicing my arms up as i once did when pain got the best of me….. i had to get revenge on god and pain and existing. So i cut. Wrote the book on it. Hid it for years! Sometimes i think…suicide….if only it would make those who hurt me feel guilty. But no one wins. I’m the one who loses. Sometimes i think….activate ignore Button. Let time pass. It will fly by. But scars are just remnants of wounds. And wounds hurt. But they heal. We tend to forget that. So easily drawn to the negative. So easy. Me? I had to work my way to trying to accept optimism.
I am broken but not breakable. I am hurt but not discouraged. I am strong but not invincible. I am human and i deserve not to be judged.
We all share some inch of relative experience. So i see no reason not to love and respect each other as it shud be. I…am a spirit filled with pure rage. Not my doing but rather that of genetics and ancestry. I am just a product of threads woven by my creators. I am but just an individual making mistakes as i go along.
Whatever the outcome. I did not give up. I will never give up. I promised my father that years ago. Despite every single difficulty i hear his words loud and clear as if it were a present whisper in my ear.
I seek strength from those willing to provide. I seek truth from those willing not to lie. I seek compassion from those who have known difficulty.
I, in all honesty, look forward to the day when i feel nothing and remember nothing of pain…but only that pain…taught…strengthened…and saved my life once.
No one knows. No one can ever know. How much i hide or subside just to please the majority. Because a girl who smiles is always accepted. The girl who admits she frowns now and again will be scrutinized by society. This is the truth i have come to realize. A sad one.
Did u have a good life when u died? Enough to base a movie on?
Death makes angels of us all. Indeed Mr Morrison
Oh one last thing for u to love me or judge me on. Cuz i am one of ‘those’ people. Loved for my talent. And hated for it. It comes with the territory but i wouldnt have it any other way because I actually embrace my talent. My love. My gift. That which has saved me over and over again. The will to work and be the best photographer i can be. And now i struggle with the morality of giving my all and still being stabbed in the back by my own. A small offense when considering greater issues in this world today. I say this with humble sincerity. The world sure as hell does not revolve around me. I wish fellow sint maarteners would direct their energy to greater causes. To fight for their country and their rights!
Anyways. There must come an end to a rant. …so
My idol. The man i look up to and admired and will endlessly love …..Layne staley said it best.
‘My bad habits aren’t my title. My strengths and my talent are my title.’
My bad habits according to some (not me) are being outspoken….speaking up for the voiceless ( all the animals abused and neglected on sint maarten) being a voice for those who too scared or inconvenienced by honesty ( the residents and born sintmaarteners who cannot have this voice) i am the martyr. Because i refuse to remain victim. I dont sympathize anymore because now i understand the sick normalities of these corrupt peoples.
Cheers! And goodnight. The whiskey and painkillers are kicking in. Because sometimes in order to sleep…. One needs a bit of help so one can be ‘strong’ and ‘ happy’ and ‘optimistic’ for everyone…tomorrow. Instead of stayin awake wondering how to fix, how to convey , how to fight, how to be heard, how to be understood by those who despise me.
This is my life I will rise above all obstacles but these thoughts needed to be expressed. And hey i spoke to God this early dawn. Precious moments. For all negatives there will be a positive….if u pay attention 🙂
Goodnight.
Dear Sint Maarten: I DON’T RESPECT YOUR SYSTEM ……I WON’T PROTECT YOUR SYSTEM
February 1, 2013
Jane Says
in regard to them wanting to censor me.. about MY island in the sun.. the one i love but cannot call home anymore as it is diseased by the corrupt…..
wanna judge me? go right ahead.. but i stand by my beliefs which is more than i can say for any so called ‘respected’ politicians on the island .. or police authority. their credibility is never questioned..but mine is? i am from there.. i have all rights to my opinion because i see the island going own the drain.. selling out..exploited… thousands of foreigners come to the island JUST to make money..to make millions.. how little you ALL know !!!!! but i get bashed for so called ‘coming to sint maarten looking for work. really? do u think your almighty american dollar pans up to the euro right no? i don’t rake in the cash as so many of you believe.. and for certain that’s why some of you hate me and use this against me cuz you’re oh so afraid that i come there to take your money. don’t be afraid of me.. be afraid of all the damn investors and foreigners who come to the island to fill your ponds, sell out your leaders and sell out your land. YOUR LAND !! placing concrete where nature once was…? why? because your dirty politicians get cuts. it is very simple.
I am begged for shoots.. and i charge cuz i ain’t gonna work for free. i have expenses too. i take my ‘trips’ and work my ass off for YOU. and i get backlashed in return when the opportunity arises. great loyalty. thanks.
your own people selling you out.. selling out your land and your morale.. for what ? FOR THEIR BENEFIT!!!! but i am scrutinised and burned at the stake because i speak up against all the corruption and i don’t decorate the island with lies for all the tourists who go there to risk their lives. you ALL know the truth!!! and you all know i have always preached about these things. it’s no secret. i never made it one.
i will NEVER forget which of you Sint Maarteners showed me support and asked a question before accusing and threatening. i WILL remember all of you who were quick and happy to share the posts with your friends and judging me.. i will NEVER forget your names. trust me. i will remember the names of my clients who stayed true to me. and those of you who were the first to come reprimanding me and getting on nasty with your accusations and threats.. you have a special place in my thoughts.
now…..on to it..
if u are able to read and understand these difficult words then go right ahead. some of you may need a dictionary. a
and don’t go getting offended from what i am saying… b/c u want 15 mins of fame. who the cap fits fucking wears it. i’m not judging any of you. but those who know who this is for will know.
Lauryn Hill describes it perfectly, i’v always loved this song and it very much applies.
“Is no type of solution
Preventin’ me from freedom
Maintainin’ your polution
I won’t support your lie no more
I won’t even try no more
If I have to die, oh Lord
That’s how I choose to live
I won’t be compromised no more
I can’t be victimised no more
I just don’t sympathize no more
Cuz now I understand
You just wanna use me
You say “love” then abuse me
You never thought you’d loose me
But how quickly we forget
That nothin’ is for certain
You thought I’d stay here hurtin’
Your guilt trip’s just not workin’
Repressin’ me to death
Cuz now I’m choosin’ life, yo
I take the sacrifice, yo
If everything must go, then go
That’s how I choose to live
No more compromises
I see past your diguises
Blindin’ through mind control
Stealin’ my eternal soul
Appealin’ through material
To keep me as your slave
I get out of all your boxes. you can’t hold me in these chains
I’ll get out. I want out of social bondage. Knowin’ my condition. Oh, is the reason I must change
See, what you see is what you get
Oh, and you ain’t seen nothin’ yet
Oh, I don’t care if you’re upset
I could care less if you’re upset
See it don’t change the truth
And your hurt feeling’s no excuse
To keep me in this box
Psychological locks
Repressin’ true expression
Cementin’ this repression
PROMOTIN MASS DECEPTION SO THAT NO ONE CAN BE HEALED !!!!!!
I DON’T RESPECT YOUR SYSTEM
I WON’T PROTECT YOUR SYSTEM
When you talk I don’t listen
Oh, let my Father’s will be done
I just accepted what you said
Keepin’ me among the dead
The only way to know
Is to walk then learn and grow
But faith is not your speed
Oh, you’d had everyone believe
That you’re the sole authority
JUST FOLLOW THE MAJORITY
Afraid to face reality
THE SYSTEM IS A JOKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh, you’d be smart to save your soul
Oh, and escape this mind control
YOU SPENT YOUR LIFE IN SACRIFICE .
TO A SYSTEM FOR THE DEAD !!!!!!!!!
Oh, are you sure…
Where is the passion in this living
Are you sure it’s God you servin’
OBLIGATED TO A SYSTEM
Getting less then you’re deserving
Who made up these schools, I say
Who made up these rules, I say
Animal conditioning
Oh, just to keep us as a slave”
and that is all i have to say.
i don’t care for your bullshit opinions against me. i don’t care for your tactics to ruin me. i don’t give a fuck. because i’m not after sint maarten. i’m on to bigger better things. which do not involved diseased mentalities and sell out characters.
i am just too effin good for that bullshit.
So this is our view…. ‘they’ have been busy with tearing down these two buildings in our neighbourhood and today they finally took away the last bits..now it’s a big cleanup effort to begin building again.
i do wish tho that instead of more overpriced apartments etc .. they’d actually keep it nice and open as a park or some kind of cultural center for arts or something.. but tja.. where money can be made… so park or cultural existence shall dwell… shame tho.
hoping our entire view doesn’t disappear with the new buildings…
So i tried this the other night.. i got the original recipe from http://www.jointhereboot.com (i ADORE that site!! )
I am incredibly inspired by sooo many recipes on there…… to make them as they instruct and to try my own varieties..
There is one rule (for me) : keep it healthy =)
I suggest having a look and trying a few of those recipes. trust me. it’s awesome =)
So here is a shot of dinner the other night.
I tried this again from scratch last night…. and used fresh tomatoes added celery and mushrooms.. and served it on a bed of fresh/raw spinach.. perfect for those of you, like me, who often eat low carb dinners =) (unfortunately no photo from last night.. but the next time i do this with raw spinach i will be sure to snap one for you )
The recipe is perfect for lunch as well. And also try it in wraps.. also with raw Spinach.. delicious. !!!

every desperate moment of my life.. there’s a NIN song which suits it….. i could die to this. if i still cut.. i would slice up to this.. sometimes.. i miss the razors against my skin.. it took away the emotion.. i bled to feel alive… now.. i just feel too much .. i want nothing more than to numb everything. and just be…..
“I am locked in my head …. With what I’ve done…..I know you tried to rescue me …..Didn’t let anyone get in ….Left with a trace of all that was ….And all that could have been ”
Lyrics:
Breeze still carries the sound
Maybe I’ll disappear
Tracks will fade in the snow
You won’t find me here
Ice is starting to form
Ending what had begun
I am locked in my head
With what I’ve done
I know you tried to rescue me
Didn’t let anyone get in
Left with a trace of all that was
And all that could have been
Please
Take this
And run far away
Far away from me
I am
Tainted
The two of us
Were never meant to be
All these
Pieces
And promises and left behinds
If only I could see
In my
Nothing
You meant everything
Everything to me
Gone fading everything
And all that could have been
Please
Take this
And run far away
Far as you can see
I am
Tainted
And happiness and peace of mind
Were never meant for me
All these
Pieces
And promises and left behinds
If only I could see
In my
Nothing
You meant everything
Everything to me
Another day of surviving IGNORANT Sint Maarten .. the paradise where we consider Animal Cruelty our culture..
June 29, 2012
Jane Says
SO.. in the interest of cheering myself up. it’s quite the task trying to reason and talk to people who are so incredibly set in their ways and display absolute narrow mindedness..
next to that i am still quite offended and appalled that i am supposed to accept that MY St. Maarten culture and tradition include legalized organized animal fighting/cruelty. it is incredible. and this is a place which depends on tourism … (not for those filling the pockets by taking part in these gambling activities..so i guess it’s not too important for them). ok.
ANY WAYS *diepe zucht*
I’m gonna edit some work.. and my website !!! because next to being the awesome person i am for standing up for what i believe in…. i still have my profession. I still LOVE my profession and i still have my awesome clients to tend to.
GOOD MORNING! be thankful you are not an animal being slaughtered, tortured, used and abused.
This SUNDAY..July 1st 2012… thousands of baby seals will be clubbed to death in Namibia…. Roosters will be skinned, oiled, spurred and put to fight until the death..Punctured lungs and all.. and then killed (both winner and loser) on SINT MAARTEN while gamblers and criminals watch (ALL ILLEGALLY!!!) …. animals all around the world will be bred, farmed and killed for food, for fashion and for pleasure.
thought for today:
“The creatures that inhabit this earth-be they human beings or animals-are here to contribute, each in its own particular way, to the beauty and prosperity of the world.”

Cockfighting is Barbaric. Please help STOP this ..happening in my own hometown . We need your signatures !!!!!!

Jane Says
Be the Change You Want to See !!! Please SIGN for this cause.
Dear All…
The Government of Sint Maarten – the island where i was born and raised – condones cockfighting.. claiming that it is part of our ‘culture’ . I don’t know what culture they grew up with but this is NOT part of mine. It is an act of cruelty, selfishness and SHOULD NOT BE CONDONED, CONTINUED OR CONSIDERED PART OF ANY CULTURE !!!!
They HAVE the power to stop this …yet they consider it something which is ‘okay’ . .. We are well aware that if a human being can condone an act of cruelty on an animal…. a being with NO VOICE.. then we can also be aware of what THAT human being is capable of doing to his fellow man. I URGE you to think about this. and help us stop this moronic nonsense !!!!
I have over 9000 fans (on my facebook fanpage) I’ve quite a large network.. not to brag but to prove a point..that if people are listening.. we can speak up and be heard… nomatter how impossible the goal.
….. i do not believe in having a fanbase/network if i cannot do something to make a change in this already messed up world we live in. I want to be the change i want to see… i need YOU to help me.
I urge you.. to take a minute or two.. and PLEASE .. sign the petition.
” Cockfighters hack off the roosters’ wattles and combs (the flesh at the top of their heads and under their beaks) before a fight in order to prevent other roosters from doing the mutilating themselves. The birds’ natural spurs (the bony protrusions on their legs) are cut off so that cockfighters can strap on razor-sharp 2-inch steel blades, which are capable of puncturing lungs and gouging eyes. The birds are partly plucked, oiled and injected with a special mixture to harden the skin and to make them aggressive. Two birds are then placed in an enclosure where they fight to the death. The dead losers are dumped together with the severly-injured winners, also left to die.
Cock fighting is all about gambling. Huge sums of money change hands amongst the supporters of this blood sport. Spectators crowd around the ring to shout and encourage their chosen bird to kill its opponent. The bloodier the better.”
We have nearly 3000 signatures on the online petition. Please continue sharing it and let’s get 5000 in 2 weeks!
please please please HELP US HELP THEM!!!!

I am deeply bothered by the news of dogs being burned alive in mobile incinerators in the Ukraine..in the efforts of cleaning up their streets for the sake of euro-cup. Shame on the euro-cup organizers for allowing this? really? i thought we lived in a day and age where JUSTICE was something we fought for? I’m supposed to raise children in this world? it’s a damn shame. it is sickening.
If it were homeless people and children they were doing this to…. you TOO would be outraged !!!! but because it’s an animal you may not feel any compassion… if that is the case…shame on you too. we are all ‘god’s children are we not? we all bleed…we all feel pain…. educate yourselves and do the right thing. BOYCOTT this madness !!!! I have zero respect for the eurocup, soccer teams, managers, organizers, fans and the countries who condone this. I am DEEPLY saddened and bothered by this.
Nam Myoho Renge Kyo… may you see the light and suffer accordingly for your actions.

“Wounds must be allowed to heal in their own time. Nothing bought in any store can accelerate healing processes. Something in your world, probably from your past, is not being allowed to heal in ways it wants to or should be. Your determination not to let it alone stems from a perceived need to cling to an aspect of it. It is time to accept something in the past must remain there.”
i love this horoscope service i have on my BBM..it’s always on point…
I DO very much believe i am holding on to some aspect of the past… in my heart i think it might be a form of trauma..inflicted upon me by an abusive boyfriend…a strict father? a very small minded community growing up? These thoughts come to mind because despite the people i have met who have told me time and time again that I am worthy of the world…it’s mine if i want it.
I internally find it difficult to believe, I’m so afraid of believing too much in myself… afraid of high hopes being crushed. At the same time.. i applaud myself for following my dream….earning a living doing what I love and inspiring others as much as i can… odd how i can be that emotional hypocrite to myself… aiding this battle which i am pretty sure i won already but i keep fighting. Maybe i’m just a very complicated woman.. or as a friend once told me… ‘ an old soul ‘ who knows.
we all have issues… i get closer and closer every single day of figuring out what mine are. never too old to learn something new..about yourself. no matter the age..we never ‘know it all’ …
and the older i get… the more i grow … the easier it is to understand why we must let go.. but the more challenging it becomes to do it … change comes as something unnatural to some of us… we fear it… but only with change can we truly progress … and develop… like any life process on this beautiful and infected planet we all share. We should let go… it is in itself..the freedom we all search for.. but nothing worth getting was ever easy… and i am stubborn… but ..since i want change.. i’m going to allow myself to let go of something.. even if just for a bit ..each day.. from this point on. so it begins….again.

you’re being encouraged to make full use of your intuition now. you can accept a situation as it appears if you choose to. All key components to make a decision based on fact are available. if, however, you’re prepared to apply imagination and trust an instinct or two, then you’ll see the reality of a situation. Work a little bit harder to see beyond the obvious.
