Yesterday, we had some newish photos of Angelina Jolie shopping with Pax (“Paxie”), Shiloh and Zahara out in Oakland, California. Just some mommy time while Brad works on Moneyball. Well, Us Weekly got the scoop on their little shopping excursion, and let’s just say, I can really feel how the subtle campaign to make Zahara our Dear Leader is taking root in the mainstream. Maybe I’m imagining things. But it seems like Zahara is the star of this little story about purchasing a manicure set:
They shopped ’til they dropped! Angelina Jolie and three of her kids — Pax, 6, Zahara, 5, and Shiloh, 4 — patronized Rockridge Kids toy store in Berkeley, Calif. on Tuesday.
An eyewitness tells UsMagazine.com that the gang of four’s excursion began at Oakland Stadium, where they watched Brad Pitt shoot his baseball flick Moneyball for three hours. (Shiloh left sporting a brand-new Oakland A’s cap — backwards!)
After arriving at Rockridge Kids (escorted by police cars), the kids “were darting back and forth checking out all kinds of stuff,” the witness says.
Some of their picks? “Pax found a ‘Magnificent Manicure Kit’ that he brought over to show Zahara. It looked like they both wanted it and they showed it to Angelina,” the observer explains of the kit, which lets kids make their lotion and give their hands a “mud bath.” After Pax and Zahara pleaded, their 35-year-old mom “agreed they could get it.”
Shiloh, meanwhile, munched on a fruit snack and followed her elder siblings around the store, the witness says.
After about ten minutes, the famous bunch “left with a bag of toys” and returned to their hotel. Not on hand for the shopping trip: big brother Maddox, 8, and twins Vivienne and Knox, 2.

Do you see what happened? Pax found something he thought was cool, and he brought it over to The Empress for her express approval. She nodded her agreement, and devised a clever plot to allow their mom to purchase this bauble. They might be pushing it like Pax wanted the manicure set, but you know The Empress will be the one organizing their little nail salon. “The Chanel nail polish, Knox! And step on it!” Today it’s a family-run nail salon (“Maddox, buff!”), tomorrow it will be righteous shoes. And in a few years, it will be global domination.

I’m on board. All hail Princess Z.
And she can pull some serious face for a 5yr old, lol.
I personnally find that Zahara is really close to Pax, you can even see it older pictures of them. When Pax first entered their familly, he was always close to Zahara.
cutest story ever.
I love how they all have these really badass personalities. Zahara is beautiful. love her eyes. And I know I’m reaching. But in some pics.. I swear she and Angie look a lot alike. I have see a few.
Cute family..
*curtseys to Empress Z* Awwwwwww! Pax is adorable too, my hubby is a pedi man, I’m all for guys learning good nail hygiene. Shiloh’s sweet too.
in the 3rd pic, Angie has really nice shiny hair. I like Z curly crazy hair like that.
Rockridge Kids is in Oakland, as in Rockridge is an Oakland neighborhood.
Fierce!
when you think about it, lil’ miz z is like a brown-skinned lil’ version of angie. she’s got the expressive eyes, pouty lips & bossiness like her mom.
remember…angie’s had her since she was like 4 mths old.
zahara’s managed to mimick all of angie’s kickass moody faces. it’s hilarious.
get ’em z! run that sh%t. lol 🙂
Zahara is such a sweetie. Love all the little Jolie Pitt children, so adorable.
That doesn’t even look like Shiloh. When did she grow her hair back? Are you sure it isn’t Viv? She can’t be that old, but that can’t be Shiloh unless she’s gotten Montenegro hair extensions.
*Nevermind – old pic at the top.
Z is like one big Barbie doll to me (I was a Barbie-obsessed kid). I’d just dress her all day long if I could, not that she’d let me. She looks like she’d be a riot to take shopping.
zzzzzzzzzzz who cares
I’m sorry, I just can’t get enough of those kids. Maybe it’s because I’m an only child.
today is maddox b-day actually. maybe the toys are their gifts for their brother
i can’t get over how the adopted children each, in some way, resemble their mother. Look at Z – shooting off classic jolie vibes. LOL
I love Zahara b/c she is beautiful and will obviously grow up gorgeous, but she looks like she will cut a bitch. She is ready to thrown down if need be. No delicate flower there.
the jolie- pitt kids always look so normal and happy! kudos to good parenting!
I hate hating on Jolie, but I can’t help it. I will, however, draw the line when it comes to hating on children. Her children are beautiful and I think pretty lucky too, I don’t know her so I cannot comment on her/Brad’s parenting skills. Probably safe to say they are doing just fine there. But look at Angie! Not a hint of breast meat at all here in this dress. My god I wish that woman would gain a little weight.
You know what good for you Kaiser. If you want to have a great day, you must impress the Empress!!!
She needs to get away from Hollywood…as cute as pictures with her family are and beautiful her kids are, the paps are annoying. And ya, it’s my fault too that I love to look at her cute family,lol. They seriously look happy though and I’m happy for them. Another thing that I can say is that at least she is out there with her children, fairly and the same…(her adopted vs. genetic), it seems she treats them the same, so that’s good. I love the way Zahara is dressed on that bottom pic, so cute! 😉
I think Pax (paxie) ha, and Z do seem to be pretty close by indication of many of the pic’s I have seen of them, and they are my favs, as well.
I love how they all have these really badass personalities. Zahara is beautiful. love her eyes. And I know I’m reaching. But in some pics.. I swear she and Angie look a lot alike

You are not alone, I think Z looks a lot like Momma Ang.
she’s awesome!
I too think that Z looks a lot like her mom- I remember some pictures from a year or so ago when Pax and Z were playing “house” and Z was feeding him from a spoon- it was too cute.
All 6 of those kids are beautiful.
I really really enjoy the diversity in this family, its pretty awesome 😀
Sometimes I wonder if Jolie and Pitt regret that they changed the lives of their children in the media circus… There may come a time Jolie/Pitt will wish they protected their children from the media and it will be too late…
Maybe Shiloh dresses like a boy because she doesn’t want to compete with the Empress. What will Suri Cruise do once they get to be teenagers and Empress Z outshines her?
I adore Zahara and all the Brangelina bunch. I love the old pic of Zahara feeding Pax. It was so cute!
I really do adore these kids, each one seems so totally awesome.
LOL!
Escorted by police cars? Glad to see tax money is being well spent.
@Chris: I googled that old pic. Here it is:

Such a cute story. Gorgeous family.
I love ho US Mag is trying make Shiloh wearing her cap backwards into a scandal. A lot of people, including kids, do this. Actually she may have picked it up from watching the players on set. I don’t think Zahara has an attitude. She just doesn’t like the paps. When she doesn’t notice them she’s a very happy child.
Don’t forget Empress Z’s stint as a super-model on her journey to taking the world by storm. Have you seen her legs? I think they are going to be super long and she’s super beautiful, with super soulful eyes, so it only stands to reason that she will be a super model at some time.
Of course Zahara has an attitude all Black females do at least thats what some people feel. I find it interesting that Zahara and Willow have an “attitude”. Brad in Parade magazine has stated that Zahara is afraid of the paparazzi and gets very anxious arounnd them
The kids each have their own individual style & are dressed adorably.
