I'm assuming cause the pageant is in Florida, and it seems really small.

Hahaha I agree, I wouldn't do a pageant with my mom. Yikes, *shudders*. I am really sad that Kendall & Rhonda didn't win, they seemed so genuine, & I loved their WOW wear.

The other mother--the one that got lip injections, was sooo much more into it than her daughter. I missed the beginning, does she even work? Cause they seem to be doing really well for a military family. $5,000 dress for the mom from Kane (from Project Runway), new dress for the daughter, lip injections...that adds up.

/\/\ I was wondering how they afforded it as well. And "lippy mom" was obviously trying to live her dreams through her daughter - she was freaking me out as well.

Well, I finally got the chance to catch an episode of T&T during the Miss Georgia Spirit pageant. I was glad to see that with the exception of one, they kept the make-up to a minimun (maybe some glass on the lips) and they had more simple dresses as opposed to the awful sequin-filled crap that the LMP contestants were. I really liked the girl that won (not the made-up girl that won at the pageant, but the one in the blue dress that won a few days later).

And don't get me started on why the babies are even in it (looking like bootlegged versions of those Annes Geddes pictures). Aside from your basic "cutest baby" photo contest, pageants for babies is a little ridiculous IMO.

If her husband is commissioned, and they make a commitment not to have any unnecessary debt, then they would probably do pretty well; I grew up next to a military base where there were a lot of stay-at-home mothers even among the enlisted crowd.

Since Toddlers & Tieras is not on any longer, what is the other show? and when is it?

I love the train wreck that is this show!

There's a new T&T episode tonight.

And the other show is on Wednesday nights on WE and it's called Little Miss Perfect.

Ok, I'm watching the re-run of the mother/daughter pageant and I never noticed until today that Alex'a mom (the military wife) is a real bag. I mean, she was barking orders at her daughter under her breathe while they were on stage doing the interview. Good grief lady could you save for criticism until after they got off stage?

She definitely wants this way more than her daughter.

Last night was the first time I watched "Little Miss Perfect". I watched the 2 episodes back to back and was a little confused - are the pagents always in Charlotte? And it looked like Jordan and Emily (9pm rerun) were in the same pagent as Amber and Sabrina (10pm new show)?

And whats with the chat board where you get to diss the other girls in the pagents? Thats healthy.

No, in the previous episodes the pageant was in FL. I don't know if they moved it or it's just another branch.

Emily has been in another tv show about pageants (was it original Toddlers and Tiara's) but when she was a little younger. I remember the mom and the grandma.

I felt bad for Amber cause the mom and sisters kept talking about how she just wasn't good enough and the 2 sisters were better, yada yada yada.

Maggie, ususally the pagents on LMP are in Florida...or at least there were three that were. I didn't think either girl was great last night, so I was actually glad neither one won.

Oh, and what's this business about a "green board" where people were bashing other little girls? That just seemed ridiculous.

Does anyone else predict eating disorders, body image issues, and emotional damage down the road? Not all cute little girls grow up to be pretty women.

Yup...i said somewhere, most of these mothers are like wut Joe Jackson was to Michael Jackson...bless their hearts tho

You can say that again. Look at these mothers. The majority are grossly overweight with stringy unkempt hair. I feel so bad that this is what those girls may have to look forward to when they grow up.

I was watching one of these shows with a (female) friend, and one little girl was crying becuase she didn't want to be in the pagent anymore and her mom threatened to spank her if she didint' stop crying

that is beyond f**ked up

So excited that the new season of T&T starts tomorrow night!!! :D
I bet TLC is releasing this season early since J&K is on hiatus.

I saw the previews for this with my husband. He just turned, looked at me and said, "What the f*ck is wrong with parents, really?"

I've not ever seen the show, but it looks like a train wreck.

Why would a two week old compete in a pageant? He has no talent and no personality! On top of it all, he's not even cute! I can't stand when babies are born with a mini "adult" nose!

Also, spending $65,0000 on a little girl to be in pageants?! I've never had a dress that cost over $300! Let alone $3,600! She better pray she can win back all that money she's spending!
ETA: That girl won pretty much everything, Mommy knows best.

The woman entering her NEWBORN in a pageant really bothered me.

I wanted to smack the bratty twin (the one the father took out) at the end. Her sister was SO happy to get the Director's Choice award, and the evil sister kept going on about how "she won." Shuuuuuuut up!

Me too! And I wanted to punch the mother for showing obvious favoritism to one child over the other.

I wanted to rescue that poor child from that horse faced mother!! Some of the comments she made were appalling -

Breeanna looks like me (meaning she's the pretty one - BAHAHAHA!) Shealynn (sp???) is skinny and her nose is too big. ALL SAID IN FRONT OF THE GIRLS!!

Then, berating her for ripping her dress, making the poor child burst out in tears, and then "forgetting" to repair it before the pageant??? She is like an evil character in a Disney movie!

Then, that sweet girl offering balloons that she'd won to the other girls, and then in the interview with her "EVIL TWIN", the girl says how proud of herself she is, and the other just keeps saying how her win was higher, 2nd runner up as opposed to 3rd, and when the sweet girl goes, "Uhuh!!" the evil twin says, "Yea so, Mommy told me!!" See? It's like a plot in a scary fairy tale!

Hopefully, the "Ugly Duckling" will grow up to be a swan and will hold it over the Evil mother and twin!! :D

Aw man, I didnt even get through the first page without busting out laughing. Hahaha...

I think all the moms and daughters this week were the most well adjusted group that have been on the show. The moms were supportive and not pushy, and the daughters were happy and pretty well behaved. The "Tootie" girl was a little bratty, but not much compared to other kids that have been on the show.

:( He just broke my gaydar...

ETA:
Why does everything look like a shack in the towns where they live?
Why is she giving a child so much coffee? And excusing it by saying "I had coffee as a child." WELL LOOK AT YOU NOW!

Does anyone else still watch this? Because I am :eek: at the girl who just said she got kicked out of a pageant because she kicked a judge in the chest when she lost.

Samantha from tonight's episode was so incredibly adorable!

Yes I still watch this :o.

I have to say, that mom that puts her daughter on a diet before every pageant is teaching her the binge & starve cycle. Pretty scary.

I'd say the mom would be better off putting herself on a diet - especially since she is "competing" against her daughter in the pageants.... :rolleyes:

Why are most of these moms morbidly obese???

I was thinking the same thing about that mom. She is the one that needs to go on the diet and leave her poor daugher alone. I had never seen this show before and was just flipping through channels, not sure I will watch again as shows like this make me sad.

LOVE Cyrus!

Toddlers and Tiaras is back tonight at 10 EST on TLC.

So, in like 1 minute, lol.
