Remember TWIGGY? Beautiful Model of the '60s, Chubby By Today's Standards

How in the world can anyone say she was chubby by today's standards. Obesity is todays standard. Just go to any high school or college and see what the average young girl looks like.

I'm referring to today's fashion models, not the average school girl. Today's models are sometimes like skeletons, many want or need to be size zero just to model the clothes, many are anorexic. Here's just one example.

Yes, she was a big fashion model of the 60s, first thinner one as I recall. I'm with you, a little meat is better. :)
 
I really liked Jean Shrimpton, another fashion model from the '60s. Here's a picture of her back then, and one of her at the age of 70, no longer involved in the industry.

I disagree Chic, Jean has aged very well, and I respect all people who don't resort to filling their faces with botox and distorting their natural looks to chase the dream of looking young again. Those who embrace their age, are most beautiful, IMO.

I think you mixed me up with someone else, I think she's very beautiful. I loved her big eyes, the way they were made up for fashion photos. :cool: Here she is at 60.

I agree, Twiggy is still very attractive.We don't know what 'procedures' she has had though. I thought she was extremely thin in the 1960's[you can't get much slimmer than her surely?]However, it set the benchmark [unfortunately] for teenage girls to be thin. I used to be a size 10 [that's a size 8 in the USA] and I thought I was fat!
