Anybody watch these shows? I don't think Little Miss Perfect has started yet, but I caught Toddlers and Tiaras once or twice.

I babysat for a 6 year old who did pageants and I was always kind of fascinated by what would motivate a parent to get their kid started in this kind of thing. Not to mention all of the prep and such that went into it all.

I didn't agree with 90% of what was involved in pageants. I dunno, I feel like a little girl has the rest of her life to be concerned about make up, tanning, nails, not eating carbs, etc. Why start that in like 1st grade?

From what I have seen on the show, most of those moms are nuts. I think there may have been one or 2 kids who had normal moms though (i. e. the little girl in the more 'casual' pageant).
