Cindy Crawford is a regular "#ThrowbackThursday"Twitter poster and this week was no exception.
The 47-year-old model posted a photo yesterday of her very first modeling shot from a newspaper clipping when she was a 16-year-old growing up in Dekalb, Illinois, in 1982.
Crawford tweeted: "My very first 'cover' during high school in DeKalb, shot in my highschool boyfriend's backyard... Believe me when I say I had absolutely no idea where that photo would lead to!"
Crawford went on to graduate high school in 1984 as class valedictorian and won an academic scholarship to study chemical engineering at Northwestern University.
But she quickly dropped out to model full time in Manhattan and well, you know the rest.
Crawford often posts old modeling shots from her past to her nearly 1.2 million Twitter followers.
