Photo Report | Visiting the Miss Netherlands 2016 finale

02/10/2016 | Reageer

mandyvictoria_missnl_blogpost12

Previous Monday, I have visited the Miss Netherlands 2016 finale.
As I had told in the post ‘Meeting Miss Netherlands & My new Given dress’ I won a social media competition which also included 5 tickets to the finale of Miss Netherlands 2016.
Afgelopen maandag heb ik de finale van Miss Nederland 2016 bezocht. Zoals ik al eerder heb verteld in mijn post ‘Meeting Miss Netherlands & My new Given dress’, heb ik een social media wedstrijd gewonnen waar ik o.a 5 kaarten voor de Miss Nederland 2016 finale heb gewonnen.
mandyvictoria_missnl_blogpost
Four of my friends and I went on our way to Studio 21 in Hilversum by car.
I was very enthusiastic for the finale, because I look up to beauty pageants (+ hope to join a beauty pageant one day… if it’s within my opportunities) and follow Miss Netherlands and other beauty pageants quite some time on social media. This is because I think it’s so amazing if you get an opportunity like that, and I’m quite interested in seeing how it all goes. And ofcourse, because of all the glitter & glamour!
Samen met vier vriendinnen, ging ik onderweg naar Studio 21 in Hilversum met de auto. Ik was erg enthousiast voor de finale, omdat ik opkijk naar miss verkiezingen. (+ooit op een dag hoop ik er met een mee te kunnen doen.. mocht dat een mogelijkheid zijn), en ik volg Miss Nederland en andere Miss verkiezingen al een lange tijd op social media, omdat ik het gaaf vind als mensen die kans krijgen en ik het leuk vind om te zien hoe missverkiezingen in hun werk gaan. En natuurlijk, om alle glitter & glamour!

Afterwards there was a great afterparty with the Party Squad. The after party was together with all the misses, visitors, some previous-misses and other celebrities.
Op het laatst was er een leuke afterparty met the Party Squad. De after party was samen met alle missen, bezoekers, sommige vorige missen, en andere celebs.

To finish this post – I really liked the evening. The finale was really well put together and each of the finalists was beautiful in their own way. It was also nice to see such a variety of talents and show parts. What is your vision on beauty pageants? I’m quite enthusiastic about it. How about you?
Om deze post af te sluiten – Ik vond het een leuke avond. De finale was erg goed gevuld en ieder van de finalistes was mooi op hun eigen manier. Het was ook erg leuk om een variatie aan talenten en onderdelen te zien. Wat is jullie mening over missverkiezingen? Ik ben er erg enthousiast over. En jullie?

Part 2 ✨I’m not scared to admit the things that shaped me — not just the glamorous highlights, but the quiet truths behind the scenes.

From jealousy and gossip that tried to dim my light,
to scars that disqualified me from dreams I once chased.
From assumptions about how I travel,
to the silent strength it takes to stay soft in a harsh world.

No plastic, no shortcuts, no pretending.
Just me — trying, dreaming, healing, glowing.

If you’ve ever felt misunderstood, underestimated, or just deeply human…
this one’s for you.

(Read the back story) ✨ Vulnerability is not weakness, it’s power in truth.

I’m 28 — and not scared to admit the things that shaped me.
Not the polished version, not the filtered journey — but the real one.

Despite international feedback ranking me top 3 in pageants, I kept getting overlooked. That’s what drained my fire sometimes to keep going. 

If you’ve ever felt like you were doing your best while the world just kept passing you by… this is for you.

Let’s stop pretending.
Let’s be brave enough to say: this is me.
Unfiltered. Still standing. Still trying. Still glowing.

Don’t get me wrong - I LOVE being single. It’s more about wanting something real in a society of a lot of fakeness. 

Let me know if you want a part 2

Share this with someone who needs to feel seen today.

Special story 🌷🇳🇱 My great grandfather who was a fighter in the resistance (Het Verzet) 🕊️

May 4th and 5th in the Netherlands. In the Netherlands, May 4th is Remembrance Day, when we pause to honor all Dutch victims of war and the freeing of the country. At 8:00 PM, we observe two minutes of silence in memory of those who lost their lives in World War II and in subsequent conflicts and peacekeeping missions. On May 5th, we celebrate Liberation Day, marking the end of the German occupation in 1945. It’s a time for gratitude, reflection, and appreciation of our freedom. To keep remembering how important this day in history is and how freedom is a human right.

For me, this time holds a deeper, personal meaning. My great-grandfather was a prominent resistance fighter in Den Bosch, whose actions had an impact far beyond the city — he fought for all of the Netherlands. His stories live on in our family, passed down through generations. Among them are letters received at home from Prince Bernhard, acknowledging his dedication and service to our country.

From a young age, my father told me a lot of stories about his heroic actions for the country. 

His courage and love for freedom are a powerful reminder of why we continue to remember — and celebrate.

A feeling of justice is literally in our DNA.
