    That is just so sick!! Having parents putting their tiny little kids in pageants with loads of makeup and have them dress all sexual like all they are are white trash sex objects. I'm totally against it. Having parents putting their children in them because they can't go in them and they get pride by watching their little kids all hypnotized to the discriminitory factors of showing girls that that's the way you should look and act.. Acting in sexual poses and sexual clothing and a load of makeup.. tell me what you think..

    I agree. When my daughter was 3 and 4 my (ex)wife put her in pageants. I was never happy with it. I really don't think my daughter was either. Even though she won a state title here in TN.

    What little girl doesn't want to put lipstick?
    But I agree. Parents exaggerate doing this kinda stuff.
    And, even so, congrats for you kid, olhippie. :)

    Love,
    Louise.

    I am wondering if anyone can see the positive side of pagents and not just what you see on TV?
    The most important thing in this society today is communication! When you compete in pagents you learn how to communicate with other people in expressing your opinions without arguing but being very effective.
    Also when has makeup ever hurt any person? Tell me why kids shouldn't wear makeup other than you don't think it looks good! When you are a little girl what do you want to do? Play with makeup! So what is the problem your little girls gets to play dress up, meet other little girls and can get the oppurtunity of her life!
    So I am asking you to look beyond the makeup and see the REAL benefits behind pagents other than what is displayed on the TV. Maybe you could look into pagents because I would bet that you don't know what goes on behind the curtain!

    the thing is, i think these people were looking "behind the makeup", and that's the problem. I grew up with a "pageant kid" as my best friend. she had all kinds of trophies and all kinds of delusions. you should see her today. just like her mom- constantly concerned with looks, popularity, competition.
    it's sad.

    Just because you have been in a pagent dosen't make you automatically concerned about things like your hair and what you look like! This is a choice each person makes in their own lives! I know girls who are incredibly obsessed with themselves and they would never think of ever being in a pagent because it wasn't "FOR" them. So being in a pagent doesn't make you obsessed with yourself! If you want to express your opinions about the world and help it then you can very well be in a pagent. Some girls make enough money to go to college off of just one pagent! For some girls this is a dream come true to be able to express their views and opinions and make enough money to go to college to further their education!

    Everything about it is cruel and disgusting. Girls and women have more than enough to deal with being who they are. It's horrific for a parent to do this to their child. Unbelievable. They should have opted for a play doll, rather than having a human being.

    That is absolutely disgusting and a-moral.
    Hang on people, I go masturbate on those photographs now and be back later for a more well-thought reply.

    bird, as a parent i really need to tell you that that is probably the most disgusting, offensive, and not-funny thing you have ever said. :mad:

    Now, Bird, that's even more disgusting......

    There isn't anything wrong with pageants, those girls need to know as soon as possible that they are never going to be good enough. :rolleyes: I think the parents are the disgusting ones........do you think that those girls are allowed to eat what they want or pick out their own clothes? Are they allowed to get dirty when they play?

    I can understand about the not-funny part, but disgusting and offensive?
    You must be American.

    Woah woah woah.

    I am still trying to wrap my head around this. I am not quite getting where you people are coming from. What exactly is disgusting about this? Because a parent tries to shape a child at an early age? In that case I am very confused as to what parenting really is. The job of the parent is to promote a healthy and productive lifestyle. I see no fundamental difference than introducing a young lad to the skate. Or a young lass to the Catholic faith. It seems to me that most people here are not recognizing the fact of life (sad as it may be) that ‘lets’ the exact ‘shaping and parading’ we are complaining about. Because no one has mentioned it I think most people here are pissed cause "that’s not what I would do".

    It just doesn’t matter what you would do.

    We are part of something that transcends real choice so much that we are forced to cling to notions that deciding to make your kid a catholic, or a hockey player, or an open minded hippie are choices that mean something. Ultimately they all in the exact same boat.

    Their form is different but their content is universal. It is the way we raise kids that you should be questioning.

    its like that show, Stage moms and dads..or something like that
    And they had this woman who had her little girl in pageants and the little girl didnt want to do it, but the mom made her..
    when the little girl woke up in the morning, and the little girl was looking in the mirror, the mom said, this isnt a pretty girl now is it...
    i was shocked, but yet not surprised...
