Marriage Non-Vows

These are photos of Heidi Klum that I put together:

- I was struck by the pleasant (Germanic) confidence that Klum exudes in the top row (from 1998-2003).
- In the middle row (2004-2007) she begins to have a hard glint in her eyes.
- In the bottom row (2008-2012) the glint is gone, but she has an insipid, almost self-pitying (petrified?), look in her eyes, and her signature confidence is also gone.

The marriage of singer Seal and supermodel Heidi Klum is no more.

Poor Heidi Klum, all those marriage vows repeated every year, all those bizarre costumes this fashion supermodel had to endure with her husband Seal, those multi-culti kids, and now finally this:

According to the US celebrity website TMZ, Klum, 38, demanded a divorce because she was worried about the effect Seal’s 'inability to control his temper' was having on their children.

The claim followed reports that she was also fed up with the 48-year-old British singer’s ‘hard partying.’

The Yin and Yang of celebrity couples no more.

Of course it is always the Seals who trash the Heidis,
never the other way around. Notice how Heidi is trying so hard
with her corn rows. Interracial couple are always interesting,
it is often the more swarthy who set the rules, which often includes
"trashing" the other (less melanin-endowed).

This is the couple that does its famous serial wedding vow renewals every year. Well, now Heidi and Seal will have a new tradition to upkeep, serially renewing their non-vows.

I've written about the couple here:

Seal, the black musician to whom [Heidi Klum] is now married, and with whom she has three children, proposed to her when she was pregnant with another (white) man's child. Not only that, Klum has said that she first met Seal when he was strutting around in some hotel lobby in his skimpy gym trunks showing off his endowments. This is what I mean by black men's aggressiveness. There is also an odd, feminine component to their seduction method, like Seal’s, who was preening around to get the attention of any (white) woman.

They are an attractive (attracting) couple, in a stylistically, yin and yang, contrasting sort of way. Heidi, being a fashion model, most likely was drawn to that, and to Seal's bad boy (black boy) rock star persona. They do cover at least a couple of yins and yangs: light and dark, male and female. Good and Bad?

Heidi used to have that Germanic confidence in her poses and looks. She even looked sweetly confident in her earlier photos. Now she just has that insipid look of someone who has lost something, and realizes that it was her fault.

I really don't care about the ins and outs of these "celebrity couples." It is their children who need our pity. Despite the "I want what I want" mantra of their parents, I don't think the children even know what they want. How will they grow up? Who will they hold up as role models? Where (and who with) will they feel most comfortable? Of course, the supreme serial sinner is Angelina Jolie who, along with her insipid husband Brad Pitt, has now accumulated enough confused children to start an army. Perhaps Klum's children will join their forces.
