Kaia is doing just splendidly in her growth as a model, and we particularly love the way her mind is growing exponentially. Her evolution moves her into the subset of young models who care about brainiac topics, human connections and global issues — all topics that matter.

Does Kaia have ‘Mighty Aphrodite’ status just now? The answer resides in the eye of the beholder is probably the best answer. Arguing with myself, I do believe that feminine influence (if it survives gender-bending) will rise out of the ashes of these moments in our global pandemic world. In that respect, Kaia’s character and attitude may be a harbinger of positive evolutions on the horizon. Here’s hoping. ~ Anne

Here you go, Kaia. Feel the power of an older ‘Mighty Aphrodite’ in Athens to celebrate of NASA’s launch of our Mission to Mars.
