Twiggy: A Life in Photographs Exhibition

I loved this exhibition - well and truly, it was also so fun to see some of the magazine covers that Twiggy has featured on and to see how they used to look back in the day!

The exhibition is fantastic because you learn as much about the photgraphers who captured those magical moments as much as Twiggy herself and in Twiggy's own words.

I even discovered that Bryan Adams the photographer is the very same Bryan Adams the musician! But my favourite photo of all on display, maybe because it captures Twiggy at her most natural and smily, is one taken by the late Linda McCartney it's a beautiful shot and Twiggy looks really full of warmth and happiness!

But there's really all sorts of amazing shots of her - one that particularly stood out was the one taken with David Bowie. You shouldn't miss this if you're in the area, especially as it's free, there's no excuse!

Speaking of Bowie, another exhibition 'Beatles to Bowie - the 60s Exposed' showcasing some of Britain's legendary musicians from the swinging 60s will be on display from 15th October to 24th January 2010. It's a must-see for music and pop-culture lovers alike and it'll be bringing me back to the National Portrait Gallery once again very soon : )
