Has anyone else seen the show on TBS called Toddlers and Tiaras?
Its all about toddlers/young kids in pageants and etc.
The show, Im not kidding, is a TRAIN WRECK! I cant stop watching it.
What in the WORLD are these people thinking putting this kind of pressure on their girls and also giving them this message of appearance and perfection are the things that get awarded for in life. Seriously, you must check it out because its so vulgar (to me) that its mesmerizing.
Interestingly enough, its actually the moms that are all into the pageants. The kids are just like so not into it and yet every one of the mothers (most incidentally who are overweight ...can you say vicarious) says, "She enjoys it!!" She enjoys it my Aunt FANNY!!
I get it, believe me...I get the mom thing, and how proud they are that their children who are so talented and beautiful. When Kaitlin was a baby she did a bit of modeling and its an amazing way to make money and to get accolades for a beautiful child. However, we had to come to the conclusion that we did not necessarily want Kaitlin to grow up thinking that this is all that is important in life. I suppose some people can straddle a line and not give this slanted view to their daughters, but it must be difficult.

And yet I cant stop watching..I suppose it is the "over the top" factor!! However, last night I did click it off eventually..The topper for me was when the announcer said, "And her pastimes include sucking her pacifier and biting a teething ring!" COME ON!!!

oh i am right there with you. i saw some of the girls with their moms on the tyra banks show and they had fake teeth too because they naturally lost their baby teeth.
the spray tans, the makeup, the hair, the nails, the eyelashes.... they looked like they were thirty. its crazy.
It leaves me utterly speechless...
yuck! i can't watch.... to bloody!
As the former Miss Bhalalala, I must say not all pagents are like those represented in this reality show. I won many fine goats and chickens back in the day. My talent...scarf dancing.

Patti, I love this tiara (sp?) I copied the picture and saved it. i have to tell you that it is the most beautiful one I have EVER seen. It brings me great joy and a smile to my face when I look at it because it's a great reminder that we are Princesses, Praise God that we are daughters of the King.
