So, in like 1 minute, lol.

Thanks for the bump, for some reason my DVR wasn't set for this one. You saved my life. lol.

Little Miss Perfect is back on too. Last night they had one LMP competition in Dallas.

ETA: Same judges though. blah!

joliebelle 01-20-2010 11:43 PM

My little txt'ed me to remind me about T and T...but I'm too addicted to nip/tuck to watch it now :(

KSUViolet06 01-21-2010 02:08 AM

I think the little girl with the Daphne outfit and Mystery Machine is absolutely adorable. She seemed to like doing pageants on some level (at least not screaming and yelling). The mom seemed pretty normal too.

I felt really badly for the little boy with the curly hair. He SO didn't want to do it and Mom was so insistent. I was glad she pulled him out.

That other little girl (with the little brother who was also in the pageant) was also just not feeling it. I think her brother may have liked it more than she did.

It's a little sad that mom admitted that she knows her daughter hates it, but she does it because SHE knows mom wants it.

I've said it before, but really, most of these kids are probably only involved in this because their unattractive moms are living vicariously.




MUSK81 05-09-2010 08:43 PM

I absolutely love these shows ... they're so delightfully tacky and such a guilty pleasure! On a more serious note, though ... aren't these mothers who tart their pre-school daughters up like $20 hookers afraid of the creeps, perverts and weirdos they might attract? Just sayin' ...

KSUViolet06 05-09-2010 08:58 PM

I was so sad when I saw that one ep with the lady from my town. lol.

SydneyK 05-10-2010 08:48 AM

I saw part of an episode this weekend - I hadn't ever seen the show. All I can say is wow. I felt so bad for those little girls. It's hard for me to believe people actually do this to their own daughters. smh

KSUViolet06 06-02-2010 11:16 PM

It's terrible.

Those kids get away with it because really, mom couldn't care less what they say as long as they get up on stage and do their routines.

It's like, I don't care if you tell me to shut up, cry, scream, whatever, as long as you do this pageant at the end of the day.

It works pretty well for them, until Daughter is a teen, no longer doing pageants (very few kids keep going with it) and STILL TALKING BACK TO HER.


BabyPiNK_FL 06-03-2010 12:04 AM

That girl sounds like a demon, that Makenzie brat.

Why are they all name 6,000 variations of Mackenzie, Madison, Makinley, and the like? UGH.

Moving on, why are they giving away living things as prizes? That's just wrong. No child should win a puppy. What if the family is not prepared to bring that dog home?

Also I'd like to ask the woman who is the producer or whatever of La Maison de Paris (or whatever) since she's from Louisiana and according to her French is "their native..." how much French she speaks. It seems like none other than the damn pageant title. I know there are many in the state who do speak French, she seems as though she has barely mastered English.

I know, right? If my kid won a puppy in ANY sort of event, I would say "no thanks." He/she would have to just be mad.

honeychile 06-03-2010 02:30 AM

"TUTTI! I'm TUTTI now! At school, I'm Madison."

No, kid, you're a brat, and your mother's crazy for caving in to you. What I would give to see one of these mothers march her child out for bad behavior!

You know, I DID see one ep (the one with those bratty twins) where DAD actually pulled one of the girls from the talent portion and took her back up to the hotel room because she was being SO bratty toward her mother.

The kicker: Mom was trying to BEG Dad to just let her compete (ignoring her behavior) because she knew that if she didn't participate in one of the events, she had no chance at winning.

I remember the dad just saying "I don't care. This is unacceptable" and carrying her out (all the while she was screaming and yelling lol). She lost (because she didn't do her talent) but Dad stuck to his guns.

FSUZeta 06-03-2010 08:28 AM

i think the mothers of those monsters need to have their heads examined.....that, and parenting classes.

MUSK81 06-03-2010 09:34 AM

I keep waiting for a girl to get up there and pick her nose and est it, or pull up her dress and show the judges her butt, or give everyone the finger, but that's my sick, sophomoric sense of humor.

MaggieXi 06-03-2010 10:43 AM

I was banned from watching the Flyers game last night and landed on Toddlers and Tiaras. I couldn't stop watching - it was like a giant trainwreck!

That Tutti/Madison girl was rediculous. What a stinkin brat. And why did she talk in 3rd person? "Tutti thinks she did great, but Tutti is exhausted."

And the second show with Mackenzie, wow, just wow. The mom was a wack job and the dad was like "I don't like it when she screams and cries, so I just do whatever she wants." Um, she's 4!

And seriously, what is with the names? How many Mackenzie, Makinley, etc. are there?

Still BLUTANG 06-03-2010 10:49 AM

that little girl sounded like an old smoker! i was HOLLERING every time she opened her mouth.

i wish these pageants had a behavior category for kids AND parents, or some other rule that states when you step foot on the hotel property (Thursday night or whatever) you will be judged at ALL TIMES on your actions. If you're yelling, fussing, cussing, etc then points should be deducted.

Methinks Tutti doth suffer from the beginnings of at the very least delusions.

Someone tell that girl she's not Hannah Montana. That is a TV show, not real life. Even Beyonce killed Sasha Fierce. YEESH!

KSUViolet06 06-03-2010 11:39 AM

These will likely be some of the same girls whose parents will think they're "special little snowflakes" when/if they go through recruitment.

GGGGGIIIIIIIIRRRRRRRRLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!! OMG I could not believe how she was acting - and her parents were just ok with it!

I'm sorry but my mom would have snatched me up if I ever spoke or treated her like that - no matter if I was 4 years old or 40!

I can't imagine what that poor girl is going to be like as a teen/adult. God help them!

KSUViolet06 06-03-2010 12:39 PM

These moms are the college "heli moms" of tomorrow.


ColdInCanada11 06-03-2010 12:56 PM

I'm sorry, Mackenzie wasn`t being "cranky", she was being the spawn of Satan. HUGE difference.

tinydancer 06-03-2010 01:37 PM

This show is like a train wreck - you can't help but look.

I hate it when the little girls make that "fish face" or put their fist under their chin and wobble their head. That looks stupid. I'd take off points for anyone who did that (yeah, fine judge I'd make)

ROTFL! True, so true. And her answers to questions about other contestants or her wins? "I don't care."

Can you imagine what these kids would be like if they got married? It would put whole new meaning into Bridezillas!

MUSK81 06-04-2010 09:57 PM

I agree about the name Mackenzie ... the only one I knew of for a long time was MacKenzie Phillips and when it started getting popular, I was like "Who in the world wants to name their little girl after a cokehead sitcom actress?"

KSUViolet06 06-04-2010 10:01 PM

Why on Earth would someone spend this much money on something that makes your kid scream and yell like freaking Linda Blair in the Exorcist?

If I were McKenzie's mom, I wouldn't even bother.

Sidenote: Why is she still sucking a pacifier? She is way too old (we got ours taken away around 2ish.) Those aren't good for your teeth.

Because her mom is clueless.


Sidenote, but I thought Daisy was adorable.

epchick 06-04-2010 10:20 PM

My favorite girls are still Jane aka "this is like my dream pageant" girl, and the little hispanic girl (forgot her name) where she likes tea parties and also had a 'dream pageant' type comment.

They were ADORABLE!!!

KSUViolet06 06-04-2010 10:27 PM

Yeah every now and then, there are girls on the show who seem to actually LIKE doing pageants and have a good attitude about them (aren't bratty, are gracious when they lose). Their moms generally aren't AS crazy as the others and say things like "you did a good job/there's always next time."

KSUViolet06 06-16-2010 10:52 PM

Ew @ this ep's pageant being named "America's Trezured Dollz." Failz.

Also fail: "My daughter is going to luxuriate across the stage at this pageant." WTF?

And OMG @ those feathered cupid/whatever MONSTROSITIES that mom apparently paid for. Whoa.

I was SO SAD seeing the way that mom talked to her daughter. "I am NOT happy with you!" Seriously? She is TWO YEARS OLD.

If you put my 2-year-old nephew on stage and tell him to do something, with TOYS in full view, he's not going to do anything you tell him. Because he's TWO.

Whoa @ the pageant taking their money. I used to babysit a girl who did these and the amount of money just to ENTER has always been ridiculous to me.

On a more positive note, this ep had one mom who was NOT fat. This brings the number of non fat moms on this show to about 2. lol.

BabyPiNK_FL 06-17-2010 12:44 AM

Did you see Kennedy's feet when her mom took her off stage after swimsuit? Put shoes on her if she's going to be wandering for 1 1/2 hours! EW!

LOL. Little Miss Perfect has way more slimmer mom's than T&T. :) Maybe LMP is more "elite" or something????

BabyPiNK_FL 06-17-2010 11:26 AM

It seems like LMP tries to stick to major pageants. Where as T&T goes to pageants that are organized in middle america-type towns by people trying to rip you off... lol

BabyPiNK_FL 06-17-2010 01:02 PM

I thought the EXACT same thing! Where is that going to get you when that's your biggest goal @ 6?! She did do amazing, but what a shame!

Also, she had on so much makeup and they kept saying she was 6 and if I didn't know what show I was watching I'd swear by her face alone she was 22!

ree-Xi 06-17-2010 01:36 PM

This episode was just classic. I haven't laughed this much in a while. Some thoughts:

1. A two-year old has done 85 pageants? Were some of them in the womb?

2. Did you hear the 6-year old? She said that her favorite part of doing pageants is swimwear, because she gets to show her stomach and shake her butt.

This is her fifteen years from now:

http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0MdeQnZXci...pears5_320.jpg


3. Why would the mom of the two girls want them to look like drag queens?

4. Why does a 6-yo need a facial?

5. Nice wig, mom. The braids are really your style.

6. The entree fee is $375, but there was a coupon in the paper for $100 off. The director wouldn't honor the coupon because the mom registered before the coupon was advertised. She said that she felt "scammed". You're just coming to that conclusion now?

7. "Dolls" has no "Z". I missed the enhanced spelling of "Treasures".

8. Don't you think the "before" pics are much cuter than the "after" pics?

9. If I hear "the total package" one more time, I'm going to bedazzle my ears shut.

10. Enough with the kissy face, the snorkling "Wipe out" move, and holding up their feet with their hands as they hop around.

Lolz @

- the pageant being late - three times, then the director stealing all the money.
- the brothers laughing when mom said they like to make their sister feel like a princess.
- the coached kid saying with a frown on her face "I'm really excited to go on stage."
-Mom: "Kennedy was in a great mood this morning, playful, ready to go!" Kennedy: "I want to go hoooome!"
-Mom to a 2-year old "Why did you cry (after seeing a table full of pink toys that you can't get and mama yelling at you on stage?)."
- the pageant director - "These people drive me f'n crazy."
- crowning when you have 2 participants in your age range.
- IOUs for prizes.

Yeah, 85 pageants at 2 years old is a bit much. I can see that if she's been doing one every 2 weeks or so since BIRTH. lol.

I can tell you right now, I wouldn't have been sticking around for any event that was running two hours late.

I'd actually be interested in the stats of how many of these kids end up on the pole later in life.

I STILL don't quite understand how these things work (and I have known kids who do them). I don't really get how EVERY kid always ends up with a crown or a prize (even though some of the crowns are bigger if you win the higher title or something). There'll be like 3 kids in an age group and they'll all get a crown. How does that work?

One thing I realized while watching one of the epsodes - the "best eyes", "prettiest hair" and similar awards are only given to those kids whose parents paid extra to be in these "optional" contests. So if only one of the kids had entered the category, they win. I caught it on an episode last year, when the dad ended up entering the kid into the optionals after the he and the mom had decided not to (getting one more chance for a crown).

I just googled beauty pageant fees "optionals" and found this application:
http://www.goldcoastpageants.com/entryform.html

Save now and enter all optionals for just $150 more!! PS. Talent entry fee is $40 extra.

Yeah that's dumb. It's like, you could've just bought a certificate and printed "prettiest hair" on it rather than paying $x to be the winner because you know your kid is the only one entering it.

Also--I don't get why they don't combine age divisions or something where there are like 2 kids in one of them.

For example, my cousin was into dance. At her dance comps, if there were only like 2 teams in a division, they combined it with a bigger division so the kids would have some legit competition. Parents didn't like to pay $ and drive all the all the way to a comp for their kids to compete against one team.

It's like pageants are opposite, parents don't mind paying a ton of money for their kid to compete against like two girls because it means their "special little snowflake" is guaranteed a prize.

Honeykiss1974 06-17-2010 05:13 PM

/\ well in this day and age when its "bad" for kids to actually lose something, I'm not shocked.
