When Lagoa da Italianinha was still the Maniçoba farm, in the 1930s, Jennifer, the eldest daughter of Colonel Jefferson, a native of Ceará who had come to live in the area, attracted attention for something peculiar. When she went swimming in a lagoon in the region, she went in fully clothed, without even taking off her shoes.
Although she was scolded by her father for this, she was supported by her mother, Girlene. Curiously, some of her descendants like to bathe completely clothed. Her youngest daughter, Ana Patrícia, as well as her granddaughters Josiane and Danúzia, only swim with clothes on, and even enter the shower that way. Geovana, Jennifer's younger sister, mocked her sister's habit, but saw her granddaughters Branquinha and Josenilda practice the same habit. In the same city, an Italian woman named Frannie came to live, who also liked to swim fully clothed, attracting the attention of many people.
Nowadays, those outside this family who also enjoy bathing fully clothed are the siblings Valdenes, Vitória, Josy, and Jad, as well as their cousins Flor and Valéria and their son Samuel, in addition to the hippie Malu and her cousin Wêdja. In Mayor Myllena's family, there's her sister Ilene who does the same, as well as another sister, the judge Suely. The cyclist Lu and the businesswoman Marlene are others who only bathe fully clothed.
Josenilda and Ilene were quite creative. Seeing that all the leisure clubs in the city only allowed people to enter in swimwear, Josenilda decided to open a club where people could enter fully clothed, "even in suits and ties," as Josenilda said at the inauguration. Many said this club would fail, but it gained several members, among them Valdenes, with his sisters Vitória, Jad, Josy, his cousin Valéria, and his nephew Samuel.
Ilene has already started a modeling agency featuring women who bathe fully clothed, and this agency includes a local model known as Morango and two Italian models, Erica and Claudia.
