Twiggy

Grandma did like clothing... still does but not to the extent like when she was young. So grandma would buy "fashion mags" and see all the cool things to wear... It was the age of "free love"...hippies... But for grandma hippies were dirty and did not have any fashion sense ... I liked "clean"... but there were times that Pink walked on the wild side with fashion as well as behavior... There were the "ra-ra" types back then they were the preppy types... knee socks, wool shirts or shorts, penny loafers maybe even saddle shoes, prep sweaters and Madras shirts, etc... And there was the the cross between the hood look and older look and of course the hippies (too dirty looking for me) The big fashion model then was Twiggy she was from England... super skinny, sick looking actually but her "look" caught on and she is the one who started the super skinny look for models. Twiggy also wore dark, black eye makeup... Thinking back on it now she was actually very scary looking but she was also a really big hit... everyone wanted to look like Twiggy... skin and bones, flat chested, black eyed Twiggy. Mini skirts were also in and "hot pants"... that was a very short pair of dress up shorts.. although it could be applied in another fashion since the "hippies" were into free love... Then there was the tent dress, that being an empire waist dress that made all the girls look like they were pregnant, here again looking back this was not a good look... Bell bottom pants, stove pipe pants in as well, in addition to platform shoes... Fish net socking in as well... yes grandma was a real fashion plate with many a day looking like a fashion mistake... Favorite fashion mags were, Seventeen, Vogue and Glamour although I read them all... Regards trying to look like Twiggy... never could... even if Pink spent 6 months in the grave she would still have more meat on her body then Twiggy ever did...
