A LITTLE MORE ABOUT JACKIE

and the wine

In the episode of Holland’s Next Top Model that aired last Monday, I got to tell the girls a bit about social media. Because besides a special face, the right height, and the right measurements a strong Instagram account is also a plus.

At Paparazzi Models, social media is included in the contract, and even Saskia de Brauw, who had a separate status because she prefers a good book over the fleetingness of new media, has come around and now has 26.9 thousand followers.

I spoke for an hour with the girls about social media and how to best set up your account if you want to become a top model. A few girls had posted some wild photos of themselves on their social media. With cigarettes hanging from their mouths, glasses of beer in dark pubs, and some mischievous looking eyes above a frothy cocktail.

As Céline said in the broadcast; “You’re young.” I completely agree, hang from a lamp, take a leap, please. But if your account breathes ‘top model’, it shouldn’t look like that. I talked quite a bit with Jackie about what her ‘signature’ on her Instagram account would be. “They always call me Jackie Vino,” she said.

Then put in your bio that you are a top model to the outside world and for your close ones Jackie Vino. Do something with it

Look, we had something there. “Then put in your bio that you are a top model to the outside world and for your close ones Jackie Vino. Do something with it.” What I advised her is that such a vino post should contribute to the story you are telling. So no photos in dark pubs, but a nice glass at an it-location after a shoot for Harper’s. Something like that. And make sure it’s a nice photo because people expect something different from a top model than just a snapshot.

Anyway, tv is tv is tv so this whole conversation was reduced to a few minutes resulting in some people knocking on my door asking me about my wine photos on Instagram. Because just like Jackie, I love a glass. There was even a diligent girl who went through all 1225 photos of my account to find 8 photos where I’m holding a glass and then put them in a row.

That looks hilarious, I get that. Unfortunately, the photos with juices and ginger tea are far in the majority. And I try, just like I advised Jackie, to make a gimmick out of our drinking behavior. We even have an Amayzine pose and are saving for a wallpaper with only wine poses.

I hope to run into Jackie soon and then we’ll make the most beautiful wine pic. And that AA someone referred to, we’ll just let that pass us by. Although it seems to be the place to be in L.A....
