Robbie Williams, Kylie Minogue, Jamie Oliver and many more celebs drink their daily cup of tea out of their Blond tea pot. Are you jealous? Don't be, because you can also get your personal Blond stuff.
In the centre of Amsterdam you can find the cosy, little shop of Femque and Janneke. The two blondes are present almost every day of the week, making and selling their unique and original pieces of art. They even create artwork that is personalised to your wishes!
Femque and Janneke are two blond friends who share the same passion; drawing and painting. Both have studied at the school of arts in Utrecht but didn't know each other then. A mutual friend came along who introduced the two girls to each other. Soon they found out that-apart from their passion of painting- they had many more mutual interests. Both love making happy and funny presents for their friends. One plus one = two and in 2001 they decided to face the challenge of starting the Blond company. | 50PlusBeurs breekt record!

The phenomenon best known as 'Web 2.0' has been hailed as the savior of the Internet. After the dot-com crash of the late 1990s, the world hung its head (and guarded its coffers) in the wake of manifold e-disappointments. Yet in 2006, the 19% rise in venture capital investment in Internet start-ups signaled a positive change. The meteoric rise of social networking sites like MySpace, Facebook, and YouTube illustrated that not only do we better understand the business of the web--now, we better understand its coveted demographic of 18-30 year-old users, having archived their hopes, habits, and desires to the second and calculated them to the cent. These successes imply that making money on the net is something like riding a bicycle: the industry paid the price of a few scraped knees before gaining its balance, but now, with painful lessons learned and pocket money replenished, we'll speed off into the distance with bells ringing. | | | | | | | | | |
