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.
oh Hil, stop watching the creepy shows. yikes.
so , these pagent people would think the sexgames for kids in Brave New World were ok? I am sure there are some sane people involved in kid pagents. And I can see some scholarship money being worth soe of it but since I don't have my eyebrows waxed...
The biggest prize at any of these competitions is $5,000. Some of these people are spending $2,000-$3,000 per dress, and the kids wear at least four different outfits per pageant. The people spending the least money are paying a few hundred dollars per dress by buying them used from the people who pay a few thousand.
