Why the hell am I watching Toddlers and Tiaras? There's a mother on this show who adopted a little girl from China, and she's entering her daughter, now age 4 or 5, in pageants. For the talent portion on the pageant, the mother is having her do Polynesian dance, because "she looks the part."
I'm also boggling at all these little girls calmly sitting through things like eyebrow waxing that I've seen leave grown women crying in pain. I'm wondering in the parents dosed them with some Children's Tylenol or something off-camera.
A mother on this show just "made a deal" with her four-year-old that the mother would take away the girl's stuffed dolphin (which seems to be a favorite stuffed animal) if the girl doesn't do well in the pageant. This is the same mother who keeps talking about how her daughter isn't as polished as the other girls and really has no chance of winning.
Eyebrow waxing might hurt less when you've got little kid follicles. My thicker hair hurts worse than my thinner.
still gross here. mac has movied with Uncle G and is now home, I did not manage much while he was gone:
1 hr of tv off TiVO
folded and put away laundry
changed sheets on my bed
gathered up another load of laundry
counted out pieces of one of the Duplo sets we are selling and bagged it all up
refilled the plastic bin the Duplos had been in with mac's current Legos.
I have not received a call from the freecycler who was going to come get a filing cabinet today. I don't have a good feeling about this. Want stuff gone!
ok. re-read the email, person won't be buy until after 6.
Little girl who just lost and whose mother responded by screaming at the judges: "Now I don't like pageants, because I want to go to the jungle." While miming binoculars with her hands.
Same girl's mother, a little later: "I want Diamond to win the Queen title. Once she wins that Queen title, then if she wants she can slow down and concentrate on her work at school."
There's only one kid on this show who seems to actually be having fun.
Um. One of these pageant girls has a facebook fan page promoting her book, "From Cradle to Crown." [link]
a rare freecycle win. she called, came early, and the file cabinet is gone gone gone. YAY!
oh man on that pageant kid's facebook she has those pictures that have been photoshopped to make her look like a doll. Creepy
Why do little kid pageants have a swimsuit competition? I always assumed that the point of swimsuit competitions in regular pageants was to judge the women's figures. Four-year-olds don't have figures.
