Twigs

Twigs

The Face of The Sixties,
skinny girl from
North London..
Mother Terressa..?
or grief of Abervan ?
she wasn't Made in
Dagenham..nor
fighting for equal rights
for woman..
A clothes horse won.
as the Face..
with her boyish
androgenous frame,
and doe kohled eyes..
a child of fashion...
poised :
..Keeler and Davies
paled into insignificance,
a product to sell,
How can we tell?
How beautiful they
really are..
without the professional
touch up and promotion
of vested interest.
these days we airbrush
publicly,
picture perfect..
beautified automation
I remember Twiggy...
she posed aesthetically.
and we were told
she was the Look
