Today a Guilty Pleasures with our new addition Kiki. What is her biggest pointless irritation, which movie does she keep crying about, and which filler word does she really need to stop using? And of course, we also briefly discuss her strange crane.
Which task do you always procrastinate?
‘Actually pretty much everything that has to do with the Tax Authorities . Especially collecting, organizing, and sticking receipts. I'm allergic to it. Thank gód for my accountant.’
Do you ever tell a little white lie?
‘But of course. I think every healthy person does (okay mom, I don't think your new interior is great, friend, that dress isn't really flattering, and boyfriend, those shoes were actually double the price…).’
What are you ashamed of?
‘That I still sleep with stuffed animals in bed. A whole row too. Polar bears, monkeys, it's a whole zoo. Several boyfriends have tried to gradually reduce the stuffed animal row, but they really can't.’
What do you do when you're home alone
and no one can see you?
‘Even more embarrassing: when I leave the house in the morning, I put all the stuffed animals under a blanket. With their heads above the blankets (otherwise they suffocate, duh).’
Which movie do you always cry at?
‘In the past, (okay secretly still) when Mufasa dies in The Lion King. As a child, I suffered trauma from the scene where Scar throws him off the cliff and he gets trampled by a herd of animals. The most gruesome fratricide ever. And then the moment Simba looks for his father and finds him lifeless on the ground. That sad music at that moment, AAAAH. I can't take it.’
Biggest addiction?
‘Sushi. When my sister once came home at night and I was already in bed (teeth brushed and all), I literally went downstairs for it. But my biggest guilty calorie bomb is Oreo cookies. With white chocolate. Horribly bad, but oh so delicious.’
What is your strangest trait?
‘I have a very strange fear of ‘long’ cranes in the toilet/bathroom (which I once talked about here.). I always have to move them a little to the right, so that the ‘trunk’ doesn't look straight at me when I'm sitting on the toilet. I know, this sounds very strange. I've had this tic my whole life.’
Which filler word do you really need to stop using?
‘The word ‘random’. Thanks to a friend (okay Hajar, now everyone knows your word) I suddenly say random for everything. Even in sentences where it doesn't fit at all. Super annoying. Random super annoying.’
‘I recently mentioned in the editorial office that Dré Hazes has dried up quite well. And I suddenly found Justin Bieber in What Do You Mean? incredibly attractive. But I seem not to be the only one with Bieber fever (‘
Bad handsome man?
‘right Lies?), so that helps.’), dus dat scheelt.’
