OLIVIA & LISA<br />
SISTERS AT A BEAUTY CONTEST IN GERMANY 2017<br />
Almost two thousand children<br />
aged 2 to 14 years from<br />
Belgium, the Netherlands<br />
and Luxembourg signed up<br />
for Top Model Belgium Kids.<br />
In the meantime 150 boys<br />
and girls remain, divided<br />
over different categories<br />
by gender and age. Among<br />
them are two sisters from<br />
the Kempen: Lisa (9) and<br />
Olivia Van der Werf (5) from<br />
Arendonk.<br />
The fact that boys and<br />
girls are being sent to the<br />
catwalk at a young age for<br />
a beauty contest does not<br />
make everyone enthusiastic.<br />
But Lisa and Olivia think it’s<br />
all fantastic. “The best thing<br />
I liked to walk across the<br />
red carpet in my princess<br />
dress was a large stage with<br />
lots of people in the hall.<br />
Everyone clapped hands in<br />
front of us. Super nice was<br />
that “, says 9-year-old Lisa.<br />
The parents are also proud<br />
of their two beautiful<br />
daughters. “Of course everyone<br />
thinks their own children<br />
are the most beautiful<br />
in the world”, says Marco<br />
Van der Werf (49). “But<br />
winning is not important to<br />
us. Everything is possible<br />
and everything is allowed,<br />
but nothing has to be done.<br />
It should only be fun. “<br />
