Pouty Priscilla / sold


Pouty, petite, petulant Priscilla is perturbed and perplexed. Within her small five year old frame burns an intense ambition to be a top fashion model. It’s such a consuming fixation that instead of engaging in the usual pastimes of a “normal” five year old she seems to only want to play “dress up” in adult attire. Her favorite item is ladies’ evening shoes. She rarely leaves her mother’s closet and then only to watch “Project Runway” (her parents let her stay up late on Thursday nights).

Priscilla’s mother assures her that she will grow into the items she loves to put on but she is increasingly impatient and frustrated. How slowly she seems to be maturing!
