Michigan: a magical land shaped like a mitten and engulfed by great lakes, where the sunrises shimmer off the towering skyscrapers of Detroit and sunsets melt into the emerald wilderness of the Upper Peninsula. This is the land of Motown, apple cider, and the world's best cherry pies. But there's another secret that makes this place truly special: The whimsically charming and totally hilarious kids who participate in modeling activities. Now, meet our imaginary character, Marvin the Mustachioed Mitten - a vivacious, fun-loving, and incredibly stylish critter, who's the unofficial ambassador of Michigan's kid models. Marvin has a fluffy mustache, which is actually a tuft of soft mitten wool that he grooms meticulously every morning. He's got a knack for pulling off the quirkiest outfits, whether it's a snowsuit in July or swim trunks in December, always with a touch of that signature Michigan flair. Marvin loves nothing more than to zip across the state, cheering on the brave, confident Michigan kids who take to the stage in their snazziest gear. These are no ordinary kids, they are the rulers of the runway, the sultans of style, and the visionaries of vogue. They strut, they smirk, they twirl, and they giggle, lighting up the stage like a Fourth of July fireworks display. Some trip or tumble, but they always get back up, grinning and waving to the crowd. Marvin can't help but giggle and clap his woolly paws in delight. So if you ever find yourself in the marvelous state of Michigan, keep an eye out for Marvin the Mustachioed Mitten. He might just introduce you to the extraordinary world of Michigan's kid models, where everyone is a star, and every fall is just another chance to rise and shine.
