Twiggy is wiggy
60s fashion model, and America's Next Top Model judge, Twiggy, has weighed in on the "size 0" controversy. Though she says she finds the trend "terrifying", she puts the blame on.....Hollywood actresses!
In an interview with The Mail on Sunday, Twiggy says:
They go on about banning size zero, but I think Hollywood stars are the worst perpetrators. Most models are naturally long and gangly, while a lot of these young girls in Hollywood have gone on extreme diets.
Their concave chests and bony arms are terrifying. It's scary to think that normal teenagers are tempted to copy them. I'd love there to be more larger models, but it's just not going to happen. Designers love to design for slim girls.
OK....So according to Twiggy, we should blame Lindsay Lohan, Mischa Barton and Nicole Richie for the deaths of Brazilian model Ana Carolina Reston and Uruguayan model Luisel Ramos. Perhaps Twiggy indulged in too many brain-warping chemicals during the swinging 60s.
Then again, should we expect anything else from the first model to launch a thousand eating disorders?
