Sylvia Kristel

At the beginning of this year, The Netherlands had an overload of Sylvia Kristel. She had her autobiography published in Dutch, and that caused hundreds (or so it seemed) interviews, documentaries, tv-shows and whatnot. Understandable, she led a life that the media loves to publish or talk about. I got a little tired of all that attention, but my soft spot for Sylvia never went away.
Stephen Emmer, a Dutch musician who became a little famous for making various intro-tunes for tv-shows (but he did way more), just made an album with various celebs reading poetry. Allen Ginsberg, Michael Parkinson, Richard Burton, Sacha de Boer and Syvlia. She read a text by Baudelaire, which Emmer set to music. To have Kristel talk seductively about beauty in French in your ear, what joy.
