Seriously, who thinks orange is a skin tone? I wish in general people could just be happy with who they are and like what God and genetic randomness gave them. Sure I am pale, but I don't look like an oompa loompa or have premature aging and skin cancer.

I also am very biased against bottle blondes, they always have roots and I am judgmental, I can see the roots, who has white blonde hair naturally as an adult, other than albinos?

I refuse to spray tan.

I like my freckles. They are my little buddies, who go with me wherever I go. I keep track of them, so that none of them are getting bigger. I make sure I put the proper amount of sunscreen on them to protect them.

I refuse to cover them up with foundation or spray tan. Is that so wrong?

Ugh I saw that! I guess you know who's more invested in those pageants. The poor little girls talking about how she's just doing it to have fun, and if she isn't having fun she'll stop. That's the attitude the mom should have as well.

Okay, I have to admit I've been watching the tiara one. What about the creepy guy whose baby (like infant) is doing the pageants and he's the one all into it. The wife seems to just kind of be going along with it because it makes him happy.

What can an infant possibly be getting out of this? It is ALL for the parents! They are nuts!!

When my now 22 year old daughter was 9 months old she and I moved to Albuquerque ahead of the moving van and my now ex. She and I were staying in a hotel that was hosting the "Little Miss Cinderella" pageant. I was going nuts seeing all these little kids dressed up as sluts. Daughter and I were downstairs having dinner one evening. I took off her playsuit and had her in the high chair only in her diaper since the only thing she would eat was spaghetti squash and I knew she would wear most of it. There was another child the same age as mine who was dressed in a $200 dress and dad had her wrapped tight in a blanket and was trying to feed her and keep her dress clean (it was only about 95 that day in desert heat). As I was carrying this dirty spaghetti colored child out of the restaurant, a lady stopped and told me she wanted to thank me, when I asked why, she said that I had the only child in the restaurant who was allowed to be a child. Turns out she was the head judge's wife.

^^^ and there you have it!

I watch them both, and the sad thing is that most of the moms say their daughters really want to do the pageants, yet I can't imagine some of those little girls going to the mom and saying put me in a pageant so I can win thousands of dollars. I've seen some pageants where 5 year olds win a car. It's just absolutely ridiculous. For those children's sake, I hope their parents are saving that money for a good college education.

But I really just love the parents who cry and cry because their child didn't win, yet the child is like whatever. More power to those little girls.

It's the same way with little league sports! The boys are all about the post game snacks! It's the parents who care about the outcome of the game!! LOL

Oh exactly. I grew up in a baseball (my brother) and cheerleading family. Sometimes I had to be like "Mom, I lost, you didn't!"

I did pageants as a child but nothing hardcore like these!:eek:
I hate to see that this is what has become of pageants for little girls though. :(

I kept forgetting to come to this thread and post on this episode, but I <3 Jayne. She was adorable. I loved how she got off the stage from interview and was like "this is like a miracle!" And then went on to say how she thinks she can do really well, maybe even win that pageant. The joy in her face was priceless....if i was her mom I probably would have cried! lol.

The motivation? A desire to pimp out their daughters for some sick ego trip.

My friend does. :)

I caught preview for one of these shows and some mom was shaving her 7 yr old daughter's legs...WHAT??
