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.

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!!!

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."

Along with diet, nutrition, and exercise classes.

Talk about living through your children!

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.

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]

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]

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]

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:




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:

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.

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