SI Swimsuit 2020 Model: Robin Holzken

If you had three wishes, what would they be?
For there to be no more animal abuse, for everyone treat each other nicer, and for free Postmates delivery for the rest of my life!

If you could personally witness any event in history, what would it be?
The Women’s Suffrage Movement. It’s something that defines where we are as women in 2020.

What is something that you have never done that you want to do?
I would love to do a hot-air balloon ride in Turkey. I’ve seen pictures and videos and it looks amazing.

What’s your most embarrassing moment?
I had a shoot once where they wanted me to act like a tiger. The photographer told me to “feel the tiger and be the tiger!” I had to roar, and they kept saying I didn’t roar loud enough. It was a really weird day!

What’s the most regrettable beauty trend you’ve ever tried?
I’ve never really tried any beauty trends but I wish I had so I could laugh at myself now.

If you could hear one song performed live by any musician what would it be?
“Bohemian Rhapsody” by Queen.

In a world full of influencers, who influences you most?
Greta Thunberg. She is so young but is already working so hard to make a change for the better.

What motivates or inspires you?
I am not inspired or motivated by a person but more by a moment, book or a video. For example, when I see a video of someone working their hardest and reaching what they want, this is something that is super-motivating for me.

What’s the worst holiday gift you ever received?
I don’t think I’ve ever got a bad holiday gift. It’s about the thought behind it not the gift itself.

What’s your guilty pleasure snack?
Chips if I want something salty, or strawberries with whipped cream if I want something sweet.

Looking back, what advice would you give to your 14-year-old self?
You should care less about what other people think of you. Not everyone is going to like you and that’s totally fine. The most important thing is what the people you love think, and not the ones that have no idea who you are.
