Heidi Klum - supermodel

Hi Capri, very nice collection!

Wow.... what a nice and clear set of pictures. Her Heart Line is very interesting. Her Thumb set and thumb shape are surprising, at list for me

Thank you both very much for your comments.

Why are in this study women with longer ring finger being called masculine? Doesn't she have a longer ring finger?

Actually I'm more interested what men find appealing, since she was listed for many years in Maxim's HOT 100 females. Of course, by hand features.

Thank you Martijn, very informative reply.

Sorry I have never heard of Heidi Klum, I don't know who she is. My first thoughts when looking at her hands were 'a woman who is tough in business but vulnerable in private life'.

Water handshape is indeed common amongst many actresses, models & artists. Added to her strong lines & long ring finger, this combination can bring drama, excitement, great highs and deep lows in life. At first glance their hands might look delicate & vulnerable (and in many ways they are). But the ones with the longer fire (apollo) finger, low 2D:4D are the more competitive, businesslike, risk-taking, expressing their energy out into the world, 'performing', 'asserting their image' - all of which might be classed as characteristics traditionally ascribed to more 'masculine' behaviour. They might also be more prone to some kind of 'addictive / compulsive behaviour' - e.g. from workaholics to OCD to alcoholics - they just love the adrenalin rush! this water/fire energy can turn negative, even self-destructive, especially when bored or when under emotional upset/stress - and can eventually 'burn themselves out'.

PS look at her rings on thumb & index - wanting to boost her powers of self assertion, willpower, determination, wanting to be a high achiever (although really she feels out of control she wishes to appear in control) issues about '(re)claiming her power'.

PPS who is Heidi Klum? where might I have heard of her?

Hi Lynn,

You never heard of Heidi Klum?
Well, you probably know her husband... 'Seal', the singer from London.


PS. You probably know Claudia Schiffer, who is by far the most wellknown (blonde) supermodel from Germany. Heidi is the second.

yeah Martijn, I've heard of Claudia Schiffer!....
oh! of course I heard of Seal! - his name is my surname! and (maybe 20?) years ago I bought his 1st CD. still no idea who his wife is tho

Thank you very much for your comment Lynn.

Well, my perception of a "masculine woman" is as a woman who looks like, talks like and moves like a man which doesn't apply to Heidi. That's why I was confused.

I've forgot about what is traditionally considered masculine before reading yours and Martijn's comment.

Ok Martijn,
I'm sorry that I don't think that "performing" should be reserved only for men and disagree with statements like "That doesn't look much like a typical woman-like role pattern".

long sun and mercury fingers....and a clear fate line running towards Jupiter give her prominence in her career......looks like a successful businesswoman's hand.

but where does the celebrity status comes from?

there must be other signs ?
a fish like formation, between the life and fate lines.
and probably a sun line that is not quite filly visible in the given angles of the pictures.
as good pictures though as you might fing in the public domain

Hi Caprie,
Going back to your original question,

If you are referring to the diagram with the black hands that show digit ratio. I think the word 'masculine' under "low 2D:4D" is simply referrring to the fact that low 2D:4D is a more 'masculine' digit ratio ie it is more commonly found in men.
