Papo d’Anjo Models: Meet Ritinha « Notes from Lisbon

Now that my own children are too old to model for Papo d'Anjo, I've loved getting to know a new group of kids. One of my favorite models is Ritinha, an adorable 7-year-old from Monte Estoril, a coastal suburb of Lisbon.

Ritinha isn't a professional model. She is the daughter of a good friend of Sara Alves, who manages our Lisbon store and who insisted that Ritinha go to one of our casting calls. "It's very important to carefully choose the brands she represents," says her mother, Rita. "We don't want modeling to be a hard job for her."

Like many girls her age, Ritinha is a fan of "Hannah Montana" and "Phineas and Pherb."  She loves to dance, play with friends, and go body boarding.

Living in Portugal, she can take that board to her pick of beautiful beaches. She and her family particularly enjoy Guincho Beach, which is near their home. Other favorites include Praia Grande, and Malhao on the Alentenjo Coast.

Ritinha also loves special outings to Badoca Safari Park, an African-themed amusement and adventure park. She and her brother Antonio also enjoy the Pavilhao do Conhecimento, an interactive science and technology museum in Lisbon. The Museu do Bringquedo, or toy museum, in Sintra rounds out her list.
