Escha Tanihatu, the stunning bartender from Voetbal International who is now appearing every day for five weeks. In addition, she also does modeling work (well, what do you expect with such looks), she even recently appeared on the cover (!) of Playboy, and that was quite something. You can imagine that men are lining up for her, but unfortunately, she already has a very sweet man. We ask Escha about her week. Are there already World Cup jitters?

Yes, it's Friday. The first match tonight. How has your week been so far?

On Sunday, I was still at a festival with my husband's band. I'm the tour manager, so I go everywhere with them. We started with Voetbal International on Monday and for the next five weeks, we will be making television every day and I'll be behind the bar. The broadcasts are from Scheveningen, so for these weeks, I'm (thankfully with my husband) sleeping in the Kurhaus Hotel.

Five weeks times seven days is 35. So that means shopping for 35 outfits?

No, I wear a Heineken t-shirt every day. It's actually a kind of jester outfit, quite funny, and I'm under the beer every evening anyway, so wearing something nice would be a waste. I also find it very easy that I don't have to worry about what to wear.

Where are you watching on Friday?

We have an early broadcast for the match and of course again afterwards. I think we'll all be watching in the dressing room. Without a beer because we still have to work afterwards, but we'll just make a party out of it.

What is strictly forbidden for women to do during a match?

No asking questions. Men don't want to explain things. They find it incredibly annoying. Questions like “why is it taking so long” or “why are they talking so much about passing and not just scoring?” are really no-goes.

And are you a bit fanatical while watching?

When it comes to the Netherlands, I can shout and cheer very well. The other matches I really couldn't care less about. Let it be clear, I really have no clue about football.

But then again, the question, what will it be tonight?

I think 1-1. And Sneijder will score. Well, I really wish it for him. He has received so much bullshit from Van Gaal, I really wish him this. I'm also participating in the Toto pool. I believe I have the Netherlands and Brazil in the final. A bit optimistic, I know. Brazil will win.

You're on the cover of Playboy. Have you seen yourself hanging in a football magazine?

No, not that, the magazine is spread throughout the Kurhaus, sometimes quite a strange sight. At the bookstore, I always secretly check if they are still in stock. If not, I naturally ask if they will be coming. By the way, I do notice that many people become a bit uncomfortable when they see me. They probably think “I know what you look like without clothes.” I find that quite funny.

What does the rest of your weekend look like?

On Sunday, we're going back to Zeeland, where we live. A hotel life sounds really cool, but I get tired of it quickly, you can't cook quickly either. I have a little dog that I miss, so it needs some cuddling. And I also want to see the rest of the family. On Monday, the alarm goes off early again for an interview and a photoshoot. Back on the air in the evening.

And can you finally go on vacation after the football?

No, I'm going to Utrecht for two weeks for the Tour du Jour. At the end of the year, we're going to the sun. Off to Curaçao.
