"It was an itsy bitsy, teeny weeny...bikini"

My granddaughter's first two-piece swimsuit came at age 3 1/2. She lives in the remote rain forest of Trinidad- no TV, no magazines. Her parents are naturalists, organic gardeners, hikers, live off the land.

My granddaughter is fascinated with clothes, outfits, styles and fashion. Are you getting the picture? She's a 3 1/2 year old fashionista with no role models.

Last visit, I brought her a two-piece swimsuit. She could hardly wait to try it on. When she did, she struck this pose as she modeled it. Her parents just shake their heads.

  1. Oh, how cute is that! Sometimes I think that, in the vacuum of being exposed to no commercial role models, a "style" evolves that would give those would-be role models a real run for their money.

  6. How utterly adorable! She'll probably head for the fashion world as soon as she can, totally dumbfounding her green parents. Isn't that always the way? They never turn out the way we imagine...

  9. Thanks, All, for your comments. For more info on where my daughter and her family live, click on "My Daughter's Life" under "Links I Love". It's a tiny village in the beautiful rain forest of the North Range in Trinidad.
    It is amazing to see how children walk their own path driven by their own inner guidance.
