Twiggy
She was the most beautiful model in the 60′s and still has the same innocence & joyful disposition in her photographs today as she did back then. She reminds me of growing up and wishing I was her! My love affair began at about the age of 15 and I’m now 28. I still paint on my eyelashes.
If i don’t win this I’ll be hoping that one day I can afford Pam’s Twiggy artwork to hang on my wall.

Either Tony Hart or Rolph Harris, at a push Rolf wins and partly responsible for my passion for art and creative nature.
