Re that black and white portrait photo at 1:47: those pronounced lower eyelashes, which became her signature makeup look, were not actual lashes, they were created by painting lines onto the skin with a black eyeliner brush. This was a new development in makeup, and every young woman at the time had a go at copying it. The painted-on lashes were not just reserved for special events; quite a few young women would do their eyes this way every day to go to work. I can confirm from my own experience that doing this yourself required a VERY steady hand, and was not at all easy to get right! The point of the look was to create a doll-like expression -- which accentuated Twiggy's gamine, naturally childlike facial features even more. Twiggy was the perfect model for the era. Her non-curvy "early teens" figure perfectly suited the angular, straight-line geometric fashions that were all the rage. Those awkward poses which we see her adopt in those photos broke with the norms of advertising which required models to look elegant. Her unconventional poses expressed innocence and naturalness -- as opposed to the self-conscious artifice of the curvy models of the 50s. For me the message that Twiggy conveyed through her looks was that young girls could become women without losing the freedom, ease and naturalness of childhood. We didn't need to lose our playfulness, our sense of freedom and wonder, just because we had grown up. It was a message of hopefulness and new horizons, especially for women who didn't fit the conventional female stereotype. We who were young then remember those days with real affection. We love Twiggy.

She made an appearance at Meier & Frank department store, and the police were there because the huge crowd of teenage fans caused a traffic jam. I was never a fan of Twiggy because she was way too bony.

I don't think her figure is unrealistic. I too am thin as twiggy was then, and I'm 68 yrs old. I have never been able to gain weight, and throughout my life I was often teased & still am because of it. It just goes to show you, that everyone is different and not everyone is suffering from obesity. Although obese people are more accepted than people who look like Twiggy. Most people also don't realize that the slurs that people use to devalue obese people, are no less painful, nor no less justified than the ones that are used to belittle, and devalue people of slighter build and frame. Like Twiggy have learned to embrace who I am. Ms. B. Churchill

I don't know about "curvy figures" up until the 60's. Twiggy may have been slightly thinner with her childish figure, but if you watch any old movies from the 40' and 50's, most leading women were quite thin bar Marilyn Monroe. Thin figures were common in the 20's and 30's. I don't believe a truly Curvy figure has been celebrated since the Rubenesk era. Oh, well, this is just my opinion.
