Happy Birthday Linda Evangelista. There are very few people in life that can impact a profession, an industry, an art form, or the lives of ordinary people the way Linda Evangelista has. She was the Michael Jordan, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Lawrence Taylor, Sugar Ray Robinson of her time. Before Linda Evangelista, a fashion model was thought of as shallow, ostentatious, and superficial, but as a model she showed that there could be so much depth, beauty, and meaning to it. Linda was truly her own Martin Scorsese in photos, and like a galvanizing creative force, she elevated everyone around her. Linda completely transcended what many thought a model could be or endear. There’s just so many superlatives and praises you could heap on Linda, and she would truly be deserving of every one. She’s an icon for the ages and a woman to love and cherish, and a pretty awesome Taurus too! Linda Evangelista, Happy Birthday to you.
