The Best In Brief
Twiggy Turns 60
Just in time for her 60th birthday, London’s National Portrait Gallery is opening Twiggy: A Life in Photographs, a collection of snapshots from the supermodel and mod icon’s personal and professional life. To coincide with the exhibit, she talked to The Guardian about today’s models, aging, and her much-discussed weight. She tells the paper that she was “much too thin,” at the height of her career, adding, "I had a look—I can see that now—but I don't think I was beautiful. That look is a total impossibility for women over the age of 20. Fashion has a lot to answer for, doesn't it?” These days, after a brief stint replacing Janice Dickinson (the other “world’s first supermodel”) as a judge on America’s Next Top Model, Twiggy is now the face of Marks and Spencer, a British chain store, and says of her supermodel days, “it's amazing, really, that I didn't go stark raving bonkers."

No, but she's been an average size since the 70s.

Looks damned good for 60!

Slamlander, she looks damn good for ANY age! Women of 60 can be beautiful, you know. Youth does not necessarily equal beauty, just as age does not necessarily equal wisdom. I just hate that "for her age" distinction.
Thank you.
