A mum in her 50s says she's hotter now than ever before - thanks to new found confidence after her divorce. Twiggy Smith, 54, says she tried modelling as a teen, but was "uncomfortable and underweight". She said she focussed on being a "domestic goddess" - being a wife and mum to her kids, but ultimately wasn't happy and "looked 20 years older" than now.
The mum-of-three said she started to make time for herself after her divorce in 2016 - and thought about modelling again. The saucy mum realised she liked stripping off - and doing saucy shoots, and her family could see she was so much happier even her own son suggested she join OnlyFans.
She said she now thinks of herself as "fit as ****" and models in her spare time. Twiggy from Vancouver, British Colombia, Canada, hopes to inspire other mums who have lost their mojo.
She said: "I tried dabbling in modelling when I was 18 but I felt so uncomfortable and I was so underweight. I struggled with my body confidence and with body dysmorphia and eating disorders. I had no confidence and was very shy.
"I had three kids under two at one point. I was the domestic goddess that prepared dinner every day and was also running my own business. I loved that but I've since realised I'd lost myself, my femininity and my inner goddess.
"When I was in an unhappy marriage I looked 20 years older. I wasn't happy and that's what stress can do- it frays your DNA. I started yoga and would daydream about what I wanted - I decided to put myself first for the rest of my days.
"In the autumn after my divorce in 2016, a photographer invited me to a shoot and so many photographers wanted to work with me. I discovered my love for nude modelling and was given a new lease of life. I started to freelance and started to book my own shoots in LA.
"I still struggle with my body image from time to time and turned down a beer after seeing a video of myself because I thought I looked fat. Now I feel beautiful all the time. I love my curves and I couldn't love being a woman any more. I want to show others the most powerful thing you can do is be yourself."
Twiggy who now lives in Merida, Yucatán, Mexico, admits she dedicated decades to being the perfect wife and mother, raising twin girls, now 22, and a son, 24, in Vancouver. After her divorce in 2016, she found yoga "saved her from a toxic relationship with herself" and decided to put herself first.
After finding modelling aged 48 in 2016, she moved to Los Angeles in September 2021, to focus on modelling and she spent six months there.
She added: "I began to freelance and booked my own shoots. People told me I would never make it in LA but I was a 50-year-old booked up morning to night. One of the photographers told me it was the year of the MILF-pocalypse. We were more comfortable within ourselves and confident."
Soon, the fit 54-year-old jumped on the OnlyFans trend after she said Instagram banned her page. "They weren't super sexual, but they were cracking down on guidelines," she said. "They took down my pictures as they kept getting reported so I went to OnlyFans out of necessity because I wanted to show my beautiful work. I went on that platform so I could free the nipple and express myself."
Twiggy claims her son encouraged her to join the platform because it wasn't simply for porn and would boost her confidence. In March 2021, Twiggy moved again to Merida, Mexico as she was "burned out" by the LA life and the cost to return to Canada dissuaded her.
She added: "Now I'm super busy on TikTok, YouTube and doing other social media work." She trains four times a week for 40 minutes each with a personal trainer who sets her wok-out plan designed for women over 30.
"I like to be real and stay curvy," she said. "It's important I stay as real as I possibly can - I have to be accountable and show that I have cellulite."
The model eats a vegan diet and has a smoothie bowl every morning with porridge, fresh fruit and chia seeds and is a fan of cold-juice pressing. She avoids fizzy pop and sugary drinks and drinks lots of water but will never say no to a cold beer.
To keep her going she will have a vegan protein shake followed by a supper of vegetables, hummus and chickpeas. She added: "I'm not depriving myself of anything anymore."
The mum-of-three uploads her saucier content to OnlyFans and Fansly but shares her fitness content on instagram to misstwiggyfit where she has 60.1k followers and makes an income creating user-generated content for other brands.
