Twiggy

Born Lesley Hornby, her father, William Norman, was a master carpenter and her mother, Helen Hornby, worked as a counter girl at Woolworth’s store.

The Twiggy fashion
is back people!

She attended Kilburn High School for Girls and began modelling at age 15. Her gamine teenage frame had earned her the nickname ‘Twigs’ and she was henceforth known as Twiggy.

So, as you may have guessed, this post is about Twiggy.
When I think of the 60's I think of Twiggy...
Who hasn't heard of Twiggy?
I used to think she was a house hold name. I was wrong. I know a girl who looks a lot like Twiggy, as I was scrolling through her Facebook photos (bored shitless looking at all her friends comments, 'aw your so pretty babe' etc) I had a realisation. This girl looks like Twiggy,  I thought. So the next time I saw her I told her, expecting her to know who Twiggy was straight away. Yet she didn't. What's the world coming to? Isn't Twiggy a great fashion icon? I mean, with all this 'indie' fashion...

   

Personally I love her fashion, her eyes and her hair. Twiggy took short hair and made it pretty, made it fashionable. She may have had the body of a 6 year old boy but she definitely pulled it off.

"Christianity, like most religions, works with fear. Sins can be confessed and you are "clean again" and can start to sin again without thinking about your old sins. We believe that people should ask themselves why they sinned. They should show some responsibility." -Twiggy
