Karin and Mirjam van Breeschooten Bio
Karin and Mirjam van Breeschooten are Dutch twin models. They were born on November 15, 1970, in Rotterdam, Netherlands. Mirjam was born at 7:58 a.m., and Karin was born eight minutes later. Their zodiac sign is Scorpio.
Karin and Mirjam van Breeschooten were jointly selected as Playboy’s Playmates of the Month for September 1989. They were 18 years old when the issue was published. Their pictorial, titled “Double Dutch Treat,” was photographed by Stephen Wayda. They were the second pair of identical twin sisters to share a Playboy Playmate title, following Mary and Madeleine Collinson, the magazine’s Misses October 1970.
The twins had previously appeared together in the Dutch edition of Playboy. At that time, Karin was working as a model, while Mirjam was studying nursing. According to their American Playboy profile, Karin initially encouraged Mirjam to consider posing with her, despite Mirjam’s early doubts about becoming a Playboy model.
Karin’s Playmate Data Sheet listed her measurements as 89-59-86 centimeters, equivalent to approximately 35-23-34 inches. She was listed as 164 centimeters tall and weighing 47 kilograms. Mirjam’s measurements were listed as 92-60-84 centimeters, approximately 36-24-33 inches, with a height of 168 centimeters and a weight of 53 kilograms.
Both sisters have blue eyes and blond hair. Karin’s profile identified acting in a film as one of her ambitions, while Mirjam said she hoped to establish a fashion-modeling career in the United States.
Karin and Mirjam grew up in the Netherlands and described themselves as close friends as well as sisters. They said that their personalities were similar but that one sister would usually become more outgoing while the other remained quieter. The twins also stated that they had never exchanged romantic partners and did not understand why strangers found twin-related questions so unusual.
Their Playboy profile discussed their first visit to the United States and their impressions of American cities, cars, shops, nightlife, and popular culture. The sisters were already familiar with American television through programs such as Miami Vice, Moonlighting, and Hill Street Blues. Karin had moved to Germany before their American Playboy appearance, while Mirjam remained more closely connected to the Netherlands.
Their September 1989 pictorial was followed by the video production Playboy Video Centerfold: Dutch Twins. Filmed in the Netherlands, the program focused on the sisters’ lives and their relationship outside the magazine photographs. They also appeared in Playboy Video Playmate Calendar 1990 and later Playboy profile and archival productions.
