Jean Shrimpton is sometimes mentioned as the “first supermodel,” coming to fame in the early sixties, prior to the Beatles’ own fame. She was the notable “face” of the Swinging London era, working with (and dating) famed photographer David Bailey.

This 1965 Richard Avedon series is usually shown in black-and-white, and there are about a dozen variants, with Paul and Jean in different poses, as well as some of either by themselves in the shot. This, with Paul looking somewhat bored and Jean behind him, wearing sunglasses, is perhaps most famous of the series.

The following year, the Beatles posed individually for Avedon again, in a series used for Look Magazine’s poster series and later the LP cover for “Love Songs.”

Now you’re talking. Boston’s own Aimee Mann! That fits my visual imagery just a wee bit better. Also very cool!

Edit: This does not mean you are forgiven. That was just wrong.

My Nan's cat was called Twiggy because she was so skinny when she turned up on the doorstep.
