I dont mind beauty contests for an ages...as long as the want to be in them...

but I think its wrong to put fake tan, fake nails and hair pieces on kids, as well as covering them in make-up...

my opinion is they do it for themselves the kids dont know any better thats the way they have been raised its not an informed choice for them I believe that kids should be allowed to be kids for as long as possible they are a long time adults wine

My daughter did it when she was young,it was her choice not mine so i supported her.A lot of her friends did it to,i don't think it is a bad thing,unless its not some thing the child wants.I don't feel any parent should force it on a child because its there dream and not the childs.You shouldn't go over board with it either as some do,teach the child that there beautiful in there own way,if they don't win doesn't mean there a loser.After all there can only be one winner.wave

There is something very strange and quite odd, that a parent would want to doll their children up the way they do in them.

I've seen one episode of this show called "Toddlers and Tieras"..I think that's the name..anyways..it just broke my heart. These parents dressing their children up in fake hair and nails..getting veneers on their teeth..dressing them provocatively..letting them dance provocativley..terrible. On this show..the one mother had two girls..both were very cute but one was more of a "pageant" kinda girl..the mother would belittle the one who didn't do as well and tell her to be more like her sister..the look on the little girls face was devastating..very mad

this woman gets pyhsically ill if her daughter loses....she is on the other end of the spectrum I would think.....


But 8 grand a year for a middle income family seems way over the top to me...

I consider it all a little distateful.

Us women spend enough of our life wearing make up in order to conform and "fit in".

To plaster a 5 year old in it is, to me, obscene and unnecessary.

I have never seen any program where this pagentry has occured where the child is anything but a Real Madam..roll eyes

doh

I think if you keep it un wraps it is find....


But the problem lays (IMO) as a few will make it impossible for some to compete on an even keel ...so the ones that spend tend to win ....I would think...conversing
