Supermodel, television host, producer, and businesswoman Heidi Klum loves Halloween and makes a point of dressing up extravagantly every year. When she first moved to the United States from Germany in 1993, she “immediately fell in love with Halloween and the spookiness of it.”
“All that was missing was a fantastic party. It felt like a real opportunity for me.”
Since then, she has fully embraced the holiday, becoming famous for her Halloween costumes.
I love this. I admire passion so much.
Ever since I stopped egging houses and frightening small children, Halloween ceased being one of my obsessions, but I adore people who find something they love and embrace and express that love in unique and profound ways.
Klum is especially impressive because her costumes often turn a woman whose fame and wealth are predicated – at least to some degree – on her beauty into a hideous monster.
Or a bizarre alien.
Or someone decades older than she really is.
Or an ogre’s wife.
It’s the last thing I’d expect a supermodel to do, yet she does it with great enthusiasm and a seeming disregard for the thoughts or opinions of others.
Even more than passion, I love people who genuinely don’t care about the thoughts or opinions of others.
Happy Halloween!
