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!
No, no, no, sir. No more chick pit for you. Come on.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
The little pageant girls creeped me the fuck out.
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.

Now tagless for your comfort.
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.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
They nearly had to have been real pagent girls, given the way they looked in swimsuits, if nothing else.

It was the airbrushing and spray tanning taht clinched it for me that they were real pageant girls.

According to wikipedia:
All the girls acting as participants in the beauty pageant, except Abigail Breslin, were veterans of real beauty pageants. They looked the same and performed the same acts as they had in their real-life pageants.

The movie just makes me smile thinking of it, months later. That's some staying power.
