  "account": "Heidi Klum transformed herself into a massive, grotesque severed hand for her annual Halloween party in New York, marking 25 years since she began hosting the event. The unrecognizable supermodel appeared with only her eyes and mouth visible, blood dripping from her mouth and her tongue sticking out. A team of helpers in blood-stained hazmat suits assisted her in her bloody transformation. Klum's idea for the costume originated last year, opting to be her own left hand with long red nails, a thumb ring, and her engagement and wedding bands. The creation process took several hours, with the actual building of the costume taking longer. Klum joked that the most challenging aspect was carrying the heavy hand. To commemorate this occasion, she wore a tattoo of her husband, musician Tom Kaulitz's name on her ring finger, alongside her palm lines and veins.",
