If you have read my last post, you will probably know that I am not too positive about the concept of reality tv. But, despite of my somewhat negative opinion about it, I will continue to use reality tv for my own exposure. Let me explain to you why.

The urban culture in the Netherlands is very big. Mainly because there are so many different cultures that live together in one little country and have to find a way to get along with each other. The way is a common interest called the
urban culture. So most of the foreign people here, and an occasional wigger, are interested in urban music, clothes, lifestyle, etc. This results in a lot of artists that are trying to break through in the urban entertainment world of Holland, but there is only room for so many of them. Holland is on a tight budget when it comes to entertainment. Having worked as a video model, I know that most of the urban music videos are low budget, which means that the models in it aren’t paid.

Now, how does a model stand out enough so that she gets paid doing the work most of the models do for free? She can, for example, make sure that she is seen a lot and, in a way, create some fame for herself, which gives her an extra appeal. This is where reality tv comes in.

How do you think people would react when they see a model having a photoshoot on live national television for the first time?

They will say that she is an URBAN DUTCHESS !

And how will they react when they see a model that is lying on a table covered in fruit, impersonating a living fruitcake, for the first time?

They will say that she is an URBAN DUTCHESS!

So how can I live a glamorous life on a tight budget? I’m the Urban Dutchess, that’s how!

P.S. Stay tuned if you want to see the second part of my photoshoot on live national television…
