Turtleneck Press is interested in publishing a collection of work on or about Twiggy (http://www.twiggylawson.co.uk/index.html). We're pretty open to how you might like to interpret that.
Twiggy was pretty—
photographs don’t lie.
And now she’s ‘iggy—
the years gone by…
I've long been a twiggy fan. The Twiggy effect ("Women over 50 who don't want to dress their age") affects me personally in ways to become known when you publish my story on Twiggy. I kid you not.
I actually met her in Cincinnati at a dept. store years ago and I've never forgotten it. She had a presence then that seemed totally modern and with it. I don't know if she still does.I'm not sure what to say about her, because it's her fact more than anything else that seems to still be holding up. Young persons today must have absolutely no idea who she was or what she represented to us back then.I'm glad she's still around.Here's a mean Twiggy joke that I remember hearing at the time:Twiggy just recently got a job with the circus, getting shot out of a rifle.Anyway it was a certain youthful persistance that she represented to me that I found utterly adorable.There were plenty of girls who tried to look like her.
What's the difference between Twiggy and a forged dollar?
One's a phoney buck...
