MAXIM 2006 Dorien Rose

Don’t we know you?

Haha, could be. I used to work as a model for Elite, now Touché Models. It could be that you’ve seen me in some magazines or commercials. It’s a nice way to make money and I love my work.


So you make a lot of money modelling?

Well, it’s not big bucks all the time, but it’s more then I used to earn.


Better then behind a supermarket counter. Plus you go places. How did you like Curacao?

Beautiful, sunny, green and relaxing.


Would you go here on a vacation as well?

I would. But I prefer Indonesia or Thailand. I grew up in Hong Kong and when we went back to Holland we still went to Asia for vacations a lot. It’s kind of a second home.


What’s so nice about it?

What isn’t? It’s moist, pleasant temperature, tropical and absolutely beautiful landscapes, mountains, kind people. Lovely food. It’s very easy going.


And that suits you?

In general I’m a busy type, but I can get very lazy. Sometimes it’s very relaxing to have nothing on your mind, but after a while it gets boring. When I’m in Indonesia I relax at first but after a few days I get restless and start planning trips.


Good life. But you can’t stay a model forever?

That’s not my intension. Through the commercials I got involved with acting and fell in love with it. I still have to learn a lot but isn’t that what we are doing our entire lives? I’m following workshops and in May I flew to LA to check it out. In the meantime I’ll continue modelling because I love that too and I need to pay my bills.


You look like Angelina Jolie. Do you have your own Brad Pitt?

No, I’m not seeing anyone right now. I’ll keep my eyes open.


What kind of guy has a chance with you?

It’s all about the chemistry. I never really had that yet, it’s a rare thing. He should be able to cope with my weaknesses.


Do you have those?

Sure. I’m a real Scorpio and that means that I’m ambitious, jealous, impulsive and we are loners. I appreciate my time alone, though I do like to have people around me. I do have mood-swings though: Now I’m happy but in 5 minutes I could become a bitch. Not that balanced, I guess!


Is it true that you’d rather do glamour shoots then fashion?

Glamour is more relaxing, fashion is more stressful most of the time. I’m an exhibitionist, and my input seems to inspire the producers, who are predominantly male.


Really?

Yes, I use my female charms. Women do that.


So you’re more of a guy’s girl than a woman’s girl?

No, only at work. I have both girl- and boyfriends.


What will you never do again?

Everything we experience happens for a reason and is a lesson in life. So: Nothing.


What will you do again?

I loved doing the Maxim job. My private experiences I’ll keep to myself.
