Ode to Mathilde WillinkYou respected your own taste
Dear Mathilde
I find it very nice to (see) read that you dared to express your own opinion and taste.
And you probably got remarks that it was weird or something but I think it was so
cool that you just went ahead with it. I have a question about that too: How did you
with that? And did you never doubt yourself when multiple people made a comment
made a comment? And then how did you deal with that? You just kept going with that and that
I found so inspiring about you that you kept going with it, because it felt good to you.
good. And that you did it the way you were, because everyone is good the way they are, including you with your
clothing style and it's just nice to show that how you are. And that you didn't care about
of other people's opinions. And that you respected your own taste even though
people said something about it.
And it's nice to walk down the street like you're going or coming from a party.
While you're just running errands. And also with that makeup on, it completes
every outfit. And you also wear so much color and not only on your clothes but also on your
face with makeup.
And how did you feel about someone painting you as but? Because your husband Carel Willink
painted you a lot and so that's my question how did you find that? You also had a clothing
clothing store on the shopping street but you had stopped that. But why did you stop
with that clothing store if you loved clothing so much? Long-Feng also designed clothes for
you how did you find that? And did you have to pay for that? Because for the rest of the clothes of yours cost a lot of money right?
I am very sorry that you cannot read this ode and therefore my questions were
answered my questions.
