Why are these families from Florida?

Also, the idea of doing a pageant with my mom scares me.

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.
