    Beauty pageants where little girls are judged on their appearance without fake hair and lots of makeup?

    I don't really think these are better.

    Nay? I don't get it at all. There is no better way to showcase a child's talents that isn't tied into being pretty?

    Nay.  DH's cousin does this with her daughter and it really still is the same thing as a pageant with all the glitz and glam.  They are still judged on how they look, what they can do, and how well they can "perform."  I just don't understand pageants at all.

    I've thought about it with my daughter. She has a very outgoing personality, loves to be the center of attention and I think she's pretty cute (although I'm prejudice, lol). However, they cost a lot of money to enter and I think it's a slippery slope from natural to the Toddlers and Tiaras world. So, for now, she's in dance class and she enjoys dancing and singing for us at home.

    No. 

    I'm sure they'll be judged plenty on their social media of choice, so there's no reason for them to be judged on appearance, too.

    I guess I'm a dummy because I don't see how it's different/better.  If you want to shift the focus to actual talent or something, then why not just do a talent competition for the talent in question?  Like dance, or music, or math camp.  A competition on looks is NMS, esp. for younger kids.

    I am a super fierce lurker. The other day, I was wondering where Hyfa has been.

    Not a pageant fan. I dislike the idea of "winning" based off of appearance, especially for little girls. There are more than enough years of Vogue, Elle, etc., to give my kid a complex, she doesn't need to lose a beauty contest at age 3 to start that process any earlier.
