Week 3

      

Fiet and Condoms

19-01-2011

It was national "Voorleesdag" (bookreading day). Both Miss Nederland 2010, Desiree van den Berg and national director and Miss Universe Netherlands 2002, Kim Kötter were asked to read a childrens book at primary schools.

Desiree read the book "Fiet wil rennen"(Fiet wants to run). This book has won several prices like the Best Picturebook in the Netherlands in 2011 and the Silver Graft in 2010. This book is written for toddlers. Desiree did the reading in her own hometown.

Kim Kötter had to read for older children, so the book that Kim read had a more "mature" subject. The title of the book is "Hoe overleef ik mijn vriendje" (How do I survive my boyfriend). The book is about children in their puberty and the problems they have to face like how to use a condom and beïng gay....

Our fifth Year

22-01-2011

This is the fifth year that MissHollandNow is on air. 2010 has been the most succesful year so far for our website. The dutch girls did very well, many awards were won and several girls were placed as semi-finalists or runner-ups. 

The highlights were: Miss Nederland 2010, Desiree van den Berg became a semi-finalist at Miss World for the first time since 2002 and also the first dutch semi-finalist at the Miss Earth pageant. Queen of the Benelux 2010, Noran Mostafa became first runner-up at the Queen of the World pageant, while Queen of the Netherlands, Anke Jabroer became a semi-finalist.

Most succesful was Nathalie den Dekker, who represented the Netherlands at several pageants and won many awards but the cherry on the cake was winning the crown of Miss Tourism International 2010/2011 on december 31st 2010.

In july we will have our fifth anniversary with lots of surpises...
