    Twiggy is a classic old brit she has that accent that just makes her sound smart she could say the dumbest thing in the world and cause she's brithish it'll sound like Shakespera , lol. So she i think is the judge besides Tyra that i agree with the most everything she says about the girls i usually see the same thing she know what she talkin bout when it comes to Fashion and as a model she rocks the Mod World she is a Mod Icon thats Huge , now for those who dont know what mod is , its a Fashion with mini skirts , alot of black , turtle necks , u noe the kind of clothes bussie people wear to cafe's or they wear in england. anyways over all Twiggy is Fabulous , even if she dont know nothin about Pop culture in america , lol.
