Another thing that amazes me is the COST of it all.
I remember talking to this little girl's mom and her telling me that the ENTRY FEES alone for the pageants are like $500.
Then you need a beauty dress, swimsuit, modeling outfit, talent outfit. Apparel alone is like $6,000 total. It adds up very quickly.
Does anyone else seem to notice that most of these kid's moms are not pretty? And some of the families don't appear to have a TON of disposable income (the kind I'd think you would have if you were going to spend $$ on this)? Like, you're living in an apt with 3 kids. Priorities anyone?

I watched Toddlers and Tiaras in their first installment a few months ago, but have only been able to catch the commercials so far.
There's a million kinds of wrong with a 5 year old kid gyrating her hips like she's playing hula hoop, mimicking her mother.

I have to admit, I love watching T&T. It entertains and amazes me...and I totally agree with KSU about the cost and priorities. I think once the child is old enough to WANT to do it, then that's fine; but why anyone would want to put a frilly dress, hair extensions, and makeup on a BABY is beyond me.
What is Little Miss Perfect?

Same concept I think as T&T except on WE. It premieres tomorrow.

The pageant they featured tonight seemed alot less um, glitzy and crazy than previous ones.
Sidenote: Does anyone else think of BrandiRae when watching this??

Exactly
My thing is pageants should be illegal for anyone between the ages of birth through 15. After 15, fine. I've watched both shows they are generally the same thing. And they both suck for all the reasons everyone has mentioned.
