And how did she wear her hair in 1965?

British mod model, she blew minds in 1965 showing up for the Melbourne Cup (traditionally a very conservative establishment event in very conservative Melbourne) with no gloves, no stockings and a skirt a few inches above the knee. It seems tame now (see right), but it made her an international sensation at the time, and, like the Beatles appearing on TV with their shaggy hair, or the Stones performing with non-matching clothes, it was a key early volley in the culture wars.

The lovely Miss Shrimpton is now 63 years old and owns a hotel in the southeasternmost portion of England. If you're ever in the hood, swing by and check out her legs.

The hotel is called the Abbey, by the way.

I'm surprised, but I don't remember her or her name. I remember Twiggy like it was yesterday

Milner and Twiggy would've made a nice couple.

Is she related to Mick Shrimpton, the late, great Spinal Tap drummer?

Jeannie Shrimpton and the Smithereens both kick ass.

Looks like Jeannie can kick ass from a distance.
