Toddlers and Tiara Competitions

Toddlers and Tiaras competition

Er Yucks

I am just watching this show called"Toddlers and Tiaras" on TV. It is definitely a mixed reaction phenomena. The kiddies (invariably girls) in the competition are definitely cute, even beautiful. Yet at the same time there is a definite revulsion in seeing them. Not just coz the parents (almost always moms) are themselves suspect (how far do they push them? are the comps for the mom's or are the kids really into this).

But more than that, the revulsion is also the falseness of all of them despite or in spite of the cute factor. All the kids are like dolls. Some of the older kids .. sorry, but they look like the early stages of being a slut. There is a girl who might only be 8 or 9 and already she looks like17 or 18 after the inevitable makeup and hairdo. And then this particular girl .. her mamma is there and she is carrying her younger child on her hip. The child looks like 3 or 4 and already has makeup on . So yuck IMHO.

Really I have heard all those documentaries where these moms and occasional dads swear that they do these for their kids coz their kids want it. But something is definitely wrong here. The kids have hard eyes and they pout when they lose. Not baby cute natural pout. But adult bitchy I-am-not-happy pout and you-better-watch-out. Awful.
