Hup Holland, Hup!
During Holland’s first match against Denmark, the FIFascists arrested a bevy of beauties sporting little orange dresses. This prompted a promise on 22 June 2010, in one of my numerous columns on FIFA’s exploitation of South Africa during what was otherwise an excellent World Cup tournament: if Holland makes it to the final, I’ll wear an orange dress and drink Bavaria.
The specific column in which I made the commitment can be found here. There’s a selection of my columns on the subject of FIFA in my previous post. Do read them, if only for an explanation of my uncharacteristic garderobe.
Well, it is final day, and Holland is playing in a final for the first time in 32 years. Therefore, I’m making good on my promise. Here are the official photographs. Photo credits go to my friend Tony Nathan, of Nathan Studios. My thanks also to Trish Nathan for being an invaluable stylist. (Click through for larger versions.)
Go ahead, laugh. It’s all worth it just to be able to watch Oranje challenge for the 2010 World Cup.
You’re my hero. HUP HOLLAND!

That Ivo, so hot right now. lol! Well done!
a man who keeps his word is to be trusted above all others..
Go Holland!
for the first time since leaving knysna, i feel safer for living in joburg
You look absolutely God-like in that little orange number, Mr Vegter. We may disagree on a great many things, and we have from time to time probably entertained thoughts of beating the other senseless with a rolled-up SUV. Today, you are my hero.
Much love

Awesome! Please publish the video(s) too…?
@staffordmasie: I didn’t take any video. There were a few people with video cameras, however, so they may well surface in due course. It’s out of my hands.
Ivo, you fuckin punk! That’s awfully well done. Hup, hup! Just sorry Netherlands crashed :-(.
You know, you could’ve just worn the dress. The earrings, high-heels and stockings are over-kill, imo :-P
hahahahaha! Agree with Hard Rain about the accesories being overkill. They are a little disturbing actually, but thanx for going the extra mile, LOL.
Absolutely fabulous!! GO IVO GO! Mmm perhaps you should do this more often…
Man,
You are something (oh, sorry, I meant someone) else.
Yeah the orange /bavaria issue .
I will only comment about the Bavaria saga.”That was straight forward,pure ambush marketing”.They (bavaria)used the ladies to associate themselves with the sporting event without paying the sponsorship fees to FIFA.Unfair the official baverage sponsors don’t you think.
I feel sorry for the ladies that had to be arrested.I am however sure Bavaria coined it from that free exposure.
With regard to whether FIFA would have just ignored the matter and let it slide?jury still out on that one .There is no straight forward solution with regard to these matters.Some even think SAB should not have kitigated in the LAUGH IT OFF MATTER as it was just a prank .I BEG TO DIFFER.
