Notes: 'Twinky' is likely a reference to Twiggy (real name Lesley Hornby), a popular British fashion model of the 1960's. She debuted to international success as "the face of 1966" at the age of 16.

The backglass shows a TV studio, therefore the peacock motif was certainly a reference to the NBC television network, which adopted this symbol in 1956.
