In 2010, Jasmijn Derckx met a mime in Montmartre, Paris. She corresponded with this mime for a while. This correspondence offered her inspiration for a novel. She delved into the world of Montmartre, interviewed Yves Mathieu of Paris' oldest cabaret 'Au Lapin Agile', had conversations with the late Rob van Reijn (the Netherlands' most famous mime), and visited shows by Dita van Teese and 'The Crazy Horse'. Jasmine wandered through Paris, writing on terraces and on Pont Neuf with the then still ringing bells of Notre Dame in the background. This book turned out to be a French wine that took several years to mature. It is a book that takes you into the world of burlesque, masks, eroticism and the search for self-love.

In 2021, she met well-known artist Margot van Huijkelom at an exhibition at Atelier K84 in Amsterdam. The idea arose to set up a joint project of words and images. Among others, Margot van Huijkelom works for Tiffany, Valentino, Armani, Harrods, Vogue Japan, L'Officiel Japan, Clarins, Swarovski, Biltmore-Estate-Vanderbilt, Neuwspaper The Telegraph, Dior, Escada, Journal Le Monde and Taschen.
