[QUOTE="KTMom91, post: 351831, member: 4040"] I watch the show regularly, because the pageant parents fascinate me. Spending all that money, all that time, in order to get some kind of validation that your child (and by extension, you) are pretty enough, good enough, talented enough to win a crown is really sad. I agree that the hair, makeup, acrylics, flippers, and spray tans would give the message that what you look like in real life isn't good enough. However, I see nothing wrong with natural pageants, where the kids are dressed up, but still look like kids. It's a great forum for the ones who love to perform, especially when there isn't a junior theater group or something similar. It really boils down whether the child is performing because they truly want to, or because Mom is pushing. [/QUOTE]
