What ever happened to Twiggy? (video)

Twiggy at height of her success, 1967
Western cultural icon Twiggy (née Hornby, Dame Lesley Lawson DBE) is an English model, actress, and singer. She was the Kate Moss of her day, initially known for her thin build, which is how she got her nickname.

Heroin chic Kate Moss
She had an androgynous appearance with big eyes, long eyelashes, and short hair. She was named "The Face of 1966" by the Daily Express and voted "British Woman of the Year."

By 1967, she had modelled in Japan and the United States, landing on the covers of Vogue and The Tatler. Her fame spread worldwide. After modelling, Twiggy enjoyed a successful career as an actress.

Who's the modern "Twig," moody Mitski or funny Lizzo...or maybe B. Pirate Eilish? Her themes are as dark as Mitski's, her thighs and sense of humor are growing like Lizzo's. But could she ever be?

WTF? FTW. I'll pose like a new Twiggy.
Twiggy is actually still alive, 70, living in England, a DBE, retired from the spotlight. Hold on! This just in! Twiggy has been working on a new album to be released in 2020. Craving for fame, celebrity, applause and all that jazz die hard. But if she doesn't or if she doesn't follow it with a tour, it's a Billie world, and we're all in it.

What will the Grammys say: Lizzo, Lil Nas X, or Billie Pirate Eilish?
