Toddlers and Tiaras

Anybody else seen this train wreck? I've only seen clips, but these people are nuts. Thus far my favorite OMC did she just say that quote:

"We allow 2 piece bathing suits, but no thongs" a pageant organizer for 4-6 year olds. :shock:

I think those moms are sick. and if you ever catch my girls in one of those wacky pageants, please, do me a favor and b!tch slap me!

Ugh. I think I am gonna throw up.

Love that hair!!

This whole child/infant beauty pageant thing just sick IMO. Who benefits from this other than the promoters who appeal to parents' vanity?

The parents who have their vanity appealed too?

There is another one, do not remember the name, that is mostly people from Central Florida and Georgia that is pretty interesting.

But that's a questionable objective, agreed?

I think they should have a representative from DFS at every event that features children under the age of 18 - pageants, sports, etc.

The way some of these kids are treated, driven, and browbeaten is insane.

Predator's are watchin!

I hate to say this, but, I hope that they keep a close watch over these kids, because the predators probably are! Idiot parents!

Yeah. Me too.

That one was 'Little Miss Perfect', which also did a couple of pageants in North Carolina, IIRC. I think it was more of a trainwreck than 'Toddlers' and ma hoping they'll do another season of it.

Yes it is stupid.

Yes it is stupid.

stupid=questionable objective

Another one for the PC thread!

Ugggg. All I can think of is that infamous and tragic case over ten years ago. Remember the six year old pageant queen Jon Benet Ramsey, murdered during the holidays in Boulder, Colorado? She was about the same age as my children so I remember it well. I hate child pageants. It's unnatural. I bet the little girls hate it, too.

Totally creepy and freakish!

I just can't get past the acrylic nails on the little girls. Having had them myself, and knowing what it does to adult nails, and how it weakens them (leaving them succeptible to infections) I can't help thinking about what it's doing to their little fingers. :angry:

My goddaughter is that age, and her little nails are so thin and flimsy anyway! Don't know why that's the thing that sticks out to me, but it is...

Baby shows are a standard feature at county fairs around here. Several years ago a friend and i judged the toddler division (age 18 to 24 months). We picked the little girls in gingham dresses or sunsuits and were stopped on our way out by an irate father. His child had on a pageant dress, mascara, lipgloss and blush. We tried to explain that we thought a baby representing the fair should have a natural look but he was having a fit. We had to be escorted to our car by fair officials.

I know I shouldn't laugh, but that guy should have been arrested for child abuse. Even Hollywood isn't allowed to use synthetic materials on babies under the age of 2.

JMO, I believe children should stay children as long as possible. Innocence is stripped away soon enough in the real world.

Interesting that you used the word stripped.
