What May learned from ladies Night
I was ready for it, I was looking forward to it. Because I already thought Merel Westrik was nice and smart and pretty and everything when she still worked at AT5, because actually everything Linda de Mol and Jildou van der Bijl do is fun and good and smart and funny, and because I was incredibly craving ‘my’ old Net5. Just women talking among themselves. Indeed, not at all ‘inclusive’ and ‘gender-equal’, but let's not pretend there are no differences in interests between men and women, and moreover, men have had the exclusive right to men-only talk shows for so long (with the excuse that there are ‘no fun and smart women to be found who want to talk in a program’), so in that respect, it's quite emancipated again and that is indeed of this time. And nothing is more fun than occasionally talking completely alone with your girlfriends about the nice things in life, right? Just a summary of what I learned.
1. Fidan Ekiz becomes the new Eva Jinek
She denied or acted a little clueless that was Oscar-worthy, but I believe Merel. And I am looking forward to every evening with Fidan. Although I do watch Eva, you understand.
2. Merel is pretty, funny, and smart
Yes, the nerves were buzzing around, but that didn't weaken her and I only felt that someone was really trying hard to make it enjoyable for me (and the other 378,000 viewers). Hats off. And where was your suit from?
3. Linda's lice
Linda told the – brilliant – story about that time she went to the Televier Ring Gala just after her divorce and deeply unhappy (but very skinny) in a dress that was way too expensive and couldn't get the buttons of that k-corset loose at home and had to cut the whole dress open with a nail scissors. ‘Was that also the time you had lice?’ Fidan asked. ‘No, that was another time. And then DWDD won and I had hugged Matthijs a lot, so I was so afraid he would also have lice. From me.’ Oh Linda, have I told you that I love you?
4. MP receives desired dickpics
PvdA MP Attje Kuiken joined to talk about the phenomenon of dickpics. Those are indeed pictures of penises. Yes, she also received them sometimes, both wanted and unwanted. Attje, you are also on the list of fun.
5. Kim Kardashian's corset
Marije Knevel (daughter of Andries and former editor of RTL Boulevard) was for me the pretty version of Luuk Ikink. Because the ‘news’ came out that Kanye found the dress Kim wore to the Met Gala too sexy, little Knevel came up with some delightful facts about the dress. That Kim Kardashian had taken breathing lessons to prevent her from dying in the dress. That she had to be transported standing (yes: standing, STANDING) in a bus and couldn't eat for four hours. And meanwhile knowing that you would get a spanking from Kanye at home because he finds you too sexy.
6. Stella Bergsma
My allowed number of words is too limited to say why I found Stella Bergsma so wonderfully funny, if only because she sipped so deliciously greedily from her glass. Smart, naughty, and with a straight back.
