I watch Toddler's and Tiaras on TLC...
I know, it's dumb, but sadly entertaining! It almost makes me want to get pregnant and send my baby to beauty pageants... Ok, maybe not but, the show does arise some issues.
The show is about toddler's and young children "training" to become beauty pageants. They get all glammed up and try to showcase their talents (some of them ACTUALLY have some) and win cash prizes!
What I find crazy is that their parents spends thousands on their dresses!! (Someone needs to call Erica B.!) and as some dresses are SOOOO cute... others are just damn UGLY!
But worst yet, the parents agree to give their children fake teeth, hair, tans, etc! The little girls were more make-up than I do when I go clubbing! (And if you know me, that's a hard feat to beat!!)
I really want to understand WHY kids need to look like grown-ups? We all know that around age 6-7 we will have one or both of our tooth missing in front... No big deal, right? Why on earth do you need a "flipper"? Damn!
And the swimsuit competition is just plain wrong... I know the judges ask parents to dress their kids in one-piece suits, but still... I can't help wondering if some pedophile is their leering at those kids... Makes me want to gag!
I totally get why people are trying to ban this show, but think that this has been going on before the show was launched.
If you are going to aim to band this show, try banning the pageants, too. Or at the very least, try banning the whole fake ish that goes with it!
I should not be looking at a 7 years-old wondering how she got those fake eyelashes to look so real...
