STEWARDESS: Being and becoming a flight attendant

Lately I received dozens of emails from girls who want to know everything about being and becoming a flight attendant. I decided to write it all down for you, my answers to your most frequently asked questions about my job as a flight attendant. I decided to write it in English but in Dutch as well, since most of the questions I receive are from my fellow dutchies. Besides that, a couple of airlines in the Netherlands are hiring again, so if you consider becoming a flight attendant, read my article below! :)

And just one more thing: I know I'm not good at writing in English, so please bear with me while I do my utmost to make an interesting and good article for you. If you see really huge mistakes, let me know and I'll change things. Same goes for Dutch, I know it's not completely perfect but I did my best! :)

How tall are you?
I'm 1.76cm, or 5'7"

What is your body shape?
I have a boyish body shape. I don't have many curves and I'm quite tall.

Where do you live?
I live in the Netherlands, close to our capital Amsterdam.

What do you do for living?
I graduated in september 2010 and now I'm working as a cabin attendant for a well known dutch airline, but I rather keep the airlines name private. I fly around europe and spend about 4 to 5 nights a week in a hotel somewhere in Europe. It's not only my job, it's a way of life ;)

Why did you start blogging?
I always loved to read blogs and find it really inspirational to see how people dress. I decided to have one of my own so I can share how I dress on a budget. It's like my own fashion and travel diary.

Why do you go to thriftstores and fleamarkets?
I don't have a huge budget (yes I'm a cabin attendant and no, I'm not rich) and besides that I love wearing things which you won't see very often at the street.

What kind of camera do you use?
I own a canon EOS 1000d digital SLR with a 18-55 mm lens and a 50mm f1.8 lens. Besides that, I own a panasonic lumix pocketcam and a couple of analogue camera's. I'm using paint shop pro 7 and photoshop cs4 to edit my photo's. I also love to snap pictures with my Iphone. I use instagram and hipstamatic very often.

May I use your pictures
Yes, you can use my pictures on your own blog or in any other kind of magazine. But please let me know by e-mail that you are using my picture and link back or at least mention my blog.

Are you open for collaborations, sponsorships, advertising?
Yes, I'm always open for collaborations, sponsorships, advertising and giveaways as long as they are relevant to my blog. For inquiries please send me an e-mail: thefashionmoodboard@live.nl. I only accept companies that have a relevance to my blog and readers.

How can I follow your blog?
