Aimée, yes. I could not stop laughing during that scene.
Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I was actually braying with laughter at that scene, Aimee. It was perfect. It wasn't even painful--I almost thought I would be embarrassed for Olive, but her family was just so supportive and she was obviously having a good time, I thought it struck just the right tone.

Exactly. At first I was about to cry, but then she ripped the pants off and I lost it.
The little pageant girls creeped me the fuck out.

Punishingly Intricate
The little pageant girls creeped me the fuck out.
Do you think they were real pageant girls? OR regular girls done up to look pageant?
I loved how into Olive's routine Miss California was!

I LOVED Miss California if only for the ice cream thing.
They were probably real pageant girls. t shudder
And if they weren't, they aren't that far off.

Seriously. The entire time, I was thinking, "Ew, they really ARE these freakily sexualized little girls. Olive is such a stark contrast."
AND THEN.

Art Crawl!!!
Helen Mirren is in the movie version of Inkheart. I haven't read the book but her character sounds cool.

I'm pretty sure they were actual pagent girls. I watched a documentary on HBO or something when the Jon Benet case was huge and that's what they really look like. It is fucking creepy.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I read somewhere after I saw the movie that they were real pageant girls. I think they filmed the scenes with the other girls at an actual pageant.
