But I didn't know there was such a thing as a Twiggy doll! Mind you, the lady herself is a bit of a doll, still looking stunning in her 60s. Ah, and did you know she has her own brand of spectacles? I've just been to the opticians and selected a couple of pairs to pick up next week. Exciting!

The outfits are definitely more interesting than the dolls, which I started collecting because of the outfits.
