Twiggy in Color!

Years ago I scored a number of vintage black and white negatives from supermodel Twiggy's April 1967 visit to Disneyland. Recently, I acquired a few color slides documenting the same trip. This first shot appears to be in Adventureland. Twiggy is surrounded by her entourage, including boyfriend Justin de Villeneuve.



Judging by the expression on her face, I would say that the Pack Mules were not a favorite.



This shot of her with Goofy is one of the few that shows her out and out laughing. What a shame it's so blurred!



The life of a supermodel: staring at an empty plate at the Plaza Inn.



SOOOOO hungry.



I guess she was allowed some popcorn. Here she is devouring a box aboard the Columbia.

On the last Twiggy post of this series, she is seen entering the small world attraction and eating popsicles like the common folk do, while being given the grand tour by Disneyland Ambassador Marcia Miner. I hope you’ve enjoyed this series with the world’s first supermodel!









Want to see what Twiggy wrote? Duh…

Disneyland souvenir and trinket fanatics should have fun today, perusing all of the merchandise that Justin & Twiggy are playing with inside of the Tinkerbell Toy Shop.



Twiggy compares her eyelashes to the lush ones of Goofy.

Twiggy embarks on the Grand Circle Tour today, doing a full lap on the Disneyland Railroad. Be sure to look out the window and follow her journey through Main Street, New Orleans Square, Frontierland, and of course, The Grand Canyon Diorama.

The push for Bolt is already underway, as the movie will be released shortly.



Over at the former location of Ariel’s Grotto, guests can now visit Pixie Hollow:

Twiggy is at the Plaza Inn today, and as one would expect from a supermodel, there’s nothing to eat for her. Alternating between happy and pensive, Twiggy looks a little bored overall with the proceedings.







Over at the Castle, Twiggy is hanging out with Goofy and Pluto. It does seem a little strange that Mickey is nowhere to be found in any of these photos.

In shots #1 & #2 from my Twiggy series, she is seen "steering" the Columbia, with the Pirates of the Caribbean building behind her.



Although a little blurry, these next three shots over in Fantasyland are some of my favorite, as they are probably the closest poor Twiggy got to a spontaneously happy moment during her day of being filmed at the park.

We’ve still got Twiggy, and today, Disneyland Ambassador Marcia Miner returns as well. Our supermodel is enjoying Fantasyland today, getting tickets like the regular peeps, twirling around in the teacups, and riding the Matterhorn. Yup. Just like the regular peeps. Except with an entourage of burly gorillas keeping the regular peeps away.
