Flippers are fake teeth that cover up missing and crooked teeth. Like dentures for 6 year olds 
ETA: whoops, too slow! Thanks KSUViolet!

Seriously? Fake teeth on a child are ugly? 
I'm sorry if my reactions are extreme but this is the first time I've seen anything related to kid pageants beyond the stuff I heard during the JonBenet Ramsey stuff years ago.

Alaska and Braxton's mom needs a flipper. She was missing so many teeth it was making me want to vomit. I can't believe how these people ignore things like basic dental care but will pay to have their kids spray tanned, manicured, made up and stuffed into those expensive glitz wear abominations.

She needs a lot of things, possibly even a DCF caseworker.

I'm still in the process of catching up with the show & all the episodes I've missed so here's another question for my pageant ignorant self.
What is a "glitz" pageant? What is a "natural" pageant?
I keep hearing moms talk about glitz, semi-glitz and natural pageants but many times, I can't tell the difference.
Also, what is up with the ginormous size of the crowns they win?

Glitz usually allows the girls to wear full make-up, hair pieces, flippers , spray tans and very glitzy "cupcake" dresses (think rhinestones and poof). Stage routines are very elaborate with exaggerated facial expressions. Glitz pageants focus more on beauty.
Natural pageants don't allow contestants under 13 to wear any make-up (besides a little mascara and lipgloss) and don't allow any contestants to wear hair pieces or flippers. Interview can be a part of the competition. Dresses are usually flowwy and elegant, facial expression is natural.

I don't like pageants (I only approve of adult beauty pageants slightly more than child beauty pageants) but natural pageants are better than glitz. The girl in the natural pageant photo looks adorable. The girl in the glitz photo looks silly.
Glitz pageants are horrendous. No exceptions.
