Toddlers and Tiaras

This show is so sad and just a train wreck...the kind you cannot turn away from. ?I feel so bad for these little girls (2 yrs old) with hair extensions, tanning, make-up, trimming eyebrows...OMG

Butt Paste so your outfit does not ride up

OMG?

ugh, i can't watch shows like that.... makes me SO sad.  all i think of is child sex abuse, future eating disorders, stripping, prostitution, and other self-objectification.  i just can't see a single good thing that could come out of a toddler being tanned, waxed, bleached, made up, dressed up, and pranced around for any sicko to see.

I can't stop watching them either - so usually I try not to start! ?But inevitably, my TV will end up with something like this on it. ?

There are plenty of occasions where you can tell the girls are clearly not enjoying their pageant experience. ??

I just watched an episode today for the first time. Simply horrific!

ps - i hope i didn't sound like i was judging anyone for watching - i know i would get roped in too.  it's like a train wreck, as you said.  can't turn away...

sort of like "rock of love bus" etc. - ie these girls' futures...

I can't watch it, it is just to sad. I had friends in HS who were in beauty pageants as kids/growing up, both had eating disorders and VERY low self esteem. It was awful to watch their self destructive behavior. I am not saying all of those kids in beauty pageants will grow up with issues but I do think in most cases they do more harm than good.

Gretchen...no offense taken...there was nothing else on TV when I was watching
