Tove Lill was one of the finalists in Miss Norway (Not to be confused with the Frøken Norge pageant, sometimes translated to Miss Norway in English) 2007 and won the finale. After that she has travelled around the world as Miss Norway in international beauty competitions such as Miss Tourism Queen International, Miss Peace International, International Union of Beauty pageants, Miss Globe International and Miss Pearl. She had her first modeling job at age 19 for a friend just for fun, doing a music video with a Norwegian rapper band. She realized modeling was what she wanted to do, and she sent the photos to a photographer, and a few weeks later she was on the cover of one of Norway’s biggest magazines.
A famous model scouter saw Tove Lill’s photos, and wanted to bring her to Los Angeles for work. They started a reality show called Glamour of Sweden with 5 other models, where they were competing with Playboy’s Girls Next Door.
In The United States, Hugh Hefner noticed the Norwegian beauty, and after Tove Lill moved back to Norway, he called her and invited her to the Playboy Mansion to do a Playmate shoot. Tove Lill stayed for a while, and Hefner wanted Tove Lill to be his girlfriend.
In addition to be a model, Tove Lill is also a politician. She is the leader of the Norwegian political party Progress Party’s Youth Organization the Youth of the Progress Party (Fremskrittspartiets Ungdom in Norwegian) in the county of Vest-Agder.
The Progress party:
The Progress Party’s Youth (Norwegian: Fremskrittspartiets Ungdom, FpU), is the youth wing of the Norwegian political party the Progress Party. It is generally more libertarian than the Progress Party itself, both with regards to economics and politics in general. The current leader of the organization is Ove Vanebo.
In the organization’s manifesto, it states that; “The government should not use economic politics to influence economic development”, in stark contrast to the Progress Party’s economic politics. It also wishes to replace the public safety net with private insurance arrangements and privatize some schools and hospitals, making the public hospitals “compete” with the privately owned hospitals. On social politics, the youth party also has a much more liberal approach. The youth party does not support gay marriage in a common church, thus they do support them in getting married in a humanitarian church, due to religiously-influenced views that state that it is against the bible and what the church is built on.
The overarching political principle of FpU is that of individual freedom, and the right to do as you want, as long as it don’t bother anyone else or break any religious principles. A much used slogan, “my freedom ends where yours starts”, illustrates that in a clear way.
