Little Beauties: Ultimate Kiddie Queen

thats actually a title of this special on vh1. its about moms entering their daughters into beauty pageants and going ape shit.

they give their 6 yr old daughters fake teeth called "flashers", airbrush on fake tans, drown them in makeup, dress them in provocative outfits, heels.. i just heard one mom say "its gonna be a national holiday when she gets boobs" while doing her daughters hair.

is this fucking sickening to anyone else? i hate these people, the adults i mean. no wonder so many teen girls' body images and senses of self-worth are fucked, these sorts people are doing it to them. theres even a swimsuit competion complete with bikinis.

6 YEARS OLD. HALF A FUCKING DECADE. they shouldnt even be thinking about makeup.

im disgusted with the world now. this hit me harder than that guy on the greyhound bus.

fuck.

I totally agree, Ive seen documentaries on this before, it really disgusts me. Im not sure what I find most disturbing actually, the idea of dressing little girls in makeup etc or the parents living out their jaded fantasies through their kids, dont they realise they arent doing them any favours and that they will be totally screwed up later on in life?

hypothetically, i would rather drown my six year old daughter in a vat of acid than let her compete in one of these pageants. they're strange and gloss over the hypersexualization of these little girls with "it's just dress up!" and "they're having fun being beautiful!" and i'm like, "yeah ok. cuz jon benet had a blast."

God's honest truth, one of my friends was a close family friend of the Ramsey's. And when I voiced my opinion that child paegants are basically vicarious recreations of failed, ugly youth, he was rather upset. He went on and on about how they were shaken up by it and blah blah blah.

"Yeah, but it's still creepy and borderline obsessive."

lol @ cotton, yes, you are correct. the pageant scene is HUGE in the south (bible belt), in red states

Was anyone else severely creeped out with the actual pageant scene in Little Miss Sunshine ? I'm referring to everything that wasn't Abigail Bresline.

I wholeheartedly agree but isn't it the same for these young models walking the runways?

What age is appropriate for young girls to be in the public eye, whether it's modeling or acting?

the creepiest thing about it is those damn fake teeth. I heard one mom saying you couldn't even compete if you don't buy a set and I don't remember what the price was, but i know it was a grip.

I remember a few years ago when I got HBO back (I had it as a little kid, but my parents got rid of it because it was too expensive) I remember catching the end of one of their documentries about this. To tell you the truth, I was do right shocked at this. There are parents out there that hire other men to help their daughters do this stuff. I think that it was the same one that you are talking about. I personally feel that anyone who does this is pretty much dumb. Just look at what happened at Miss Teen USA a few years ago, that is what happens to someone who has been doing this for way too long.

the appropriate age is once they are old enough to make decisions for themselves..

:( :( :(

shit is stupid.

is vh1 showing how crazy this is? or just documenting it?

just documenting really, and in a more light-hearted way than not..

is this really worse than the kids who have soccer/violin/calligraphy/ballroom dance/math club/whatever lessons from 4 to 18 though

GOD DAMNIT JOHNNY YOU NEED TO BE A PRO FOOTBALL PLAYER

everybody in america probably needs a therapist at this point

its a fine line i guess, but at least all those things enhance a kids mind and physical well-being/fitness. this just looks like moms whoring out their daughters to feel accomplished.

thats what i think, they are just living through their daughters and such. some are probably deluded into thinking they are helping their daughters with self esteem and that might be true, but its still fucked up.

the difference is that doing soccer/violin/calligraphy/ballroom dance/math club or whatever can do the following for you:

make you really healthy and athletic

make you a musical prodigy

make you have badass fucking handwriting

make you a shit-hot dance partner

make you a math genius

and, all in all, for a lot of these activities, you get to be properly socialized with peers near your age who share a common ground.

pageantry will do the following:

make you have a really unhealthy obsession with your image

leave you bereft of any sort of musical talent

fail to produce a neat skill like calligraphy in you

make you awesome at one-person robotic dance routines

leave you unable to add or subtract

also, you're socialized in an environment where you hate everyone else and competition is the only way you really interact with anyone else your age. you

turn into a cutthroat bitch, basically.

also, little girls should not be trotted around like fucking meat. just because it has

the same holes as the grown-up version does not mean it is suitable for ogling. goddamnit. even i have standards.
