Eden's mama is my favorite. her optimism (delusion?) amazes & scares me.

at one point she said "i expect it to be awesome"... i mean, seriously? it gets no better.

me too!

Doesn't anyone else want to turn that child and her horrid teeth over their knee?

Guess not. Child Protective Services will be right ovuh...

Could start with the idiot Mom and her 'tics' though.

I'm in SUCH a bitchy mood tonite....sorry.

no-a good "whippin'" would do muh-kenzie a world of good.

'Nole girls thinking alike!

who would you rather be locked in a room with, muh-kenzie or juana (mom)?
*shudder*

I think I would have to say muhkenzie though, with a little "talking to" and without mom pandering to her every whim I feel like she would cut the drama queen act. Her acting skills showcased in the last episode are proof that her disgusting behavior is definitely an act and hopefully she is not beyond repair.

I'm watching what I'm sure is a rerun.... but OMG. I can't even imagine. I think we will be writing about these girls and their moms right here on GC 10-15 years from now when they don't get a bid to the "top tier" house on their campus. I'm sure it's been said on this thread before.

I teared up when a naturally beautiful 9 year old was getting her eyebrows waxed... and my jaw dropped when a 4 year old was throwing a fit about getting a spray tan.

Did anyone watch tonight? I don't want to stereotype, but that little boy even dressed like Dorothy for Halloween?!

I want to know what happened to Tootie. I thought I saw her in the background of last week's episode (the one with Braxton & Alaska).

I just watched my first episode and it was this one. The little boy was definitely dressed as Dorothy for Halloween complete with ruby slippers & a wig. :eek: His mom said that it was part of his personality and his dream was to be a Broadway dancer one day. He has two dolls that he has complete wardrobes for & he takes them to all his pageants. Wow! I'll stop right there before I get nasty & snarky towards a kid & his mom.

As for the girls, this just reiterated my beliefs that once my daughter is born, I will NEVER do this to her. I so recall that KD perp & her pageant obsession & now I'm going to search b/c I gotta see these pictures. Lol! I wouldn't be surprised if we see her on this show one day.

In my family, we say we show dogs and horses,not children. :rolleyes:

This!!! And I wouldn't DREAM of doing half of that stuff to my horse :) Ugh, I am watching right now, and there is a mom who made her daughter stop doing gymnastics because the muscles looked ugly in a beauty dress...uh, what?!?!

Although with regards to the boy from last week, not all kids are gender normative. I mean, the mom could be insane, but this seemed more like the boy was just feminine and mom was OK with letting him express it. Which, IMO, is fine, as long as the boy as happy and not being bullied or anything. There is an interesting blog, Raisingmyrainbow.com, that is about a mom raising her "slightly effeminate, possibly gay son." It is really adorable, well written, and insightful.

Dear little Lola's mother was quoted in an article here....

Question. One of the moms kept talking about her daughters "flippers" and how she didn't use them during the pageant. Can someone explain to me what on earth "flippers" are in the pageant world?
