Celebrity News: Preteen Model Preteen Bra. A preteen or a preteenager is a person under the age of 12. Generally, the term is restricted to those close to reaching age 12, especially age 11. Tween is an American neologism and marketing term for preteen, which is a blend of between and teen. The term was previously used in J. R. R. Tolkien's 1954 novel The Lord of the Rings to refer to Hobbits in their twenties: "...tweens as Hobbits called the irresponsible twenties between childhood and the coming of age at thirty-three." In this context, the word is really either a shortened version of between or a portmanteau of teen and twenty, and in either case has no connection to "teens," preteens or the American marketing niche. In the 1938 film "Love Finds Andy Hardy", Judy Garland sings a song lamenting being an "inbetween", a term considering being too young to be a teen that can date but too old to be a child.READ MORE...http://nelioguerson.blogspot.com/2013/02/preteen-model-preteen-bra.html
