[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 460701, member: 1514"] Ok, do remember the name of this show is TODDLERS AND TIARAS but I will still answer some of the criticisms leveled at it. These girls arent just being judged for their looks. They are also being judged on their stage presence. Whether they remember routine. If they have a talent, they are being judged on how well they do their talent. They are being judged on how much fun they look like are having on the stage. No matter how pretty a girl is, if she looks like she is just miserable up there, she isnt going to win. They judge on most photogenic and prettiest smile. These kids are developing huge social skills. I really want to know how many other places teach 2 and 3 year olds how to walk and present themselves to a room full of people and smile while doing it and blow kisses. Then go get changed at least once or twice...sometimes 3 times...to do skits on that stage...at that age...all by themselves! Friendships are made that last even though the girls only see each other at two or three pageants a year. They hear about each other if they are on the same circuit. They feel so good about themselves. That Eden Wood, she started very young and she has retired this year at the age of 6. She has already written a book and has a singing contract signed. She has one song out and is due to tour the mid-west the last I heard. If any of you see her, get me a autograph...lol. Oh I and I realized I forgot to mention something someone mentioned about the clothes being sold at the stores with hipster jeans and bell bottoms or something like that. Ummm..... How does that relate to pageants at all? If you have ever seen the the kids walking in to the hotels? They are in just as normal clothes as any kids. In fact, normally they pass out tee shirts for them with the pageant names that they wear with either leggings or jeans. Yeah they do make teenage clothes for toddlers. Cory gets mad at me if I let too much leg show on Keyana. I dont dress her badly. I always dress her very well and he can deal with it. He thinks she needs to be a nun...lol. At the tots ages, they were dressed adorably. Like as close to a perfectly dressed child could be. I dressed her up in pink lace and frills. She never left my house but she wasnt matching head to toe. Now she wants to be more along the lines of dressing herself. She has tastes. She likes things. She still likes her jeans or shorts but she also wants certain tee shirts and depending on the day it could be Justin B or Disney. No I wont allow belly shirts or things like that but she does have tank tops. None of the clothes these kids wear on these shows do they wear at home...trust me...not for those prices. [/QUOTE]
