Fancy or Fierce

Let us introduce you to twin Bambinis Anais and Mirabelle Lee.

These Philly born girls not only stand apart, they are the role models young ladies of their generation aspire to be. At just 10 years old, they’ve accomplished more than many would hope in a life time. Anais and Mirabelle are well on their way to the top! They both starred in the film “Blood Ties” playing Zoe Saldana’s daughter; co-starred in the hit series, “The Blacklist”, and were even featured on the Kelly & Michael Show together!

They work hard to excel in everything they do – dancing, acting, modeling and school. Their acting and modeling requires them to go to auditions and jobs throughout the school year. Despite this, the girls are successful students and always achieve good grades. Their favorite subjects are French and Math.

Anais and Mirabelle are identical twins, best friends and are very close. They share everything. If one of them gets a punishment, the other will take the punishment with her sister or advocate on her sister’s behalf for forgiveness. They cannot bear to be apart! They are best described as Yin and Yang – they are opposite sides but joined together they create an amazing unity. They often finish each other’s sentences and their close bond makes it easy for them to synchronize dances.

Volunteerism and charity is very important to Anais and Mirabelle. They volunteer for a program at school called “Bernard’s Buddies” where they pair up with an autistic student and help the student navigate socially at school. Anais and Mirabelle are very charitable. They have friends from school, dance, acting and modeling who they bring together every year for a big birthday party. In lieu of birthday gifts, Anais and Mirabelle ask their friends to donate new clothing items for children in a shelter located in Newark, New Jersey. Anais and Mirabelle then bring the gifts to the shelter and love spending the day there dancing and playing with the children.

Anais and Mirabelle are huge Youtubers – their favorite shows on Youtube range from baking cool cakes to makeup tips. In their free time, the girls play in their light up mirror practicing beauty tips– like how to make a lip scrub or how to make your eyelashes longer. They are always creating strange concoctions and messes using any item they find in the kitchen!

Before the girls were born, their mother travelled to France with her mother. They were in a French bookstore and found a cool bookmarker with the name Anais Marie. They loved the name. So, Anais’ grandmother saved the bookmarker in her bible for many years. When Anais’ mom became pregnant with twins, they knew immediately that one of the twins would be named Anais Marie. But, they still needed a name for the second twin. The twins’ Aunt Rachel was unemployed the year before they were born and didn’t have much cash. She wanted to help with choosing a name for the second twin so she went to Target and picked up a baby book. Because she didn’t want to buy the book, she spent an hour walking around the store reading out names to the twins’ mom until she found the name – Mirabelle. It was just perfect because it’s French and means “of incredible beauty” which matches Mirabelle very well.

They’ve modeled for major brands such as but not limited to Toys R Us, Puma Kids, Nickelodeon, Saks 5th Ave, Family Dollar, Target.com, The Children’s Place, Macy’s, New Balance (Kids), Avon, QVC, Babies R’ Us and for the past two years have walked for Nike and Levi’s in New York Fashion Week. The girls are frequent faces in Nickelodeon promos and are the lead dancers for the animated series –“Shimmer and Shine
