[danabnormal]

oh,about time to revive this thread,non?
I've had the following pic on my hard drive for years now,so I've no idea where I got it from (perhaps it's from modculture.co.uk or some other 60s website


the david bailey interview really attracted my interest in her. can somebody recommend me a book/website containing a good biography?

danabnormal, are you sure that's Penelope? It looks like Pattie Boyd to me.

 

[Aretha]

That's Pattie Boyd actually

I know everyone is very enamored with the alien and haunted look, it's all very glamorous and fantastic, but Penelope Tree doesn't remind me so much of a model as she does a patient from those health videos they show in school. You know, the bad side of skinny. Not the pretty side.

 

[ruslana rules]

All these postings are so wonderful. Thanks to everyone! Many pics I hadn't seen before. Thank you so much!!

I think she had a unique face, especially her eyes, regardless of her weight. I love her look, but that doesn't mean I'm going to emulate it. It's sad she had an eating disorder, but I'm not going to dislike her because of it. I love the big eyed alien look though and I understand it creeps a lot of people out haha. I've had people tell me that Penelope/Twiggy/Blythe dolls/etc. are creepy, but I love it.
