I see that parenting has reached an all time low. My jaw is on the floor as I'm watching a little girl being reprimanded by her mother. The child had colored the words on a handmade sign outside of the lines. The little girl, who must be between 4 and 6 years old starts crying. Her mother blandly tells her to stop crying, because the tears will ruin her makeup and it will have to be done all over again.
Welcome to the world of unfulfilled adults who spend money on gowns, hairstylists and make-up artists for little girls barely out of diapers.
Welcome to WE TVs "Little Miss Perfect". These "beauty" pageants create mini-Barbie dolls with a grown up look, adorned with overdone eye shadows, lip glosses and bouffant hair, some shaking their little asses to impress the judges. This is the show that reveals just how low our reality show psyches are willing to go. This has got to be the absolute sucking borderline.
A lot of us winced at the 1978 film Pretty Baby with Brooke Shields as a 12 year living in a brothel in the early 1900s awaiting the loss of her virginity to the highest bidder. So we've seen shock value before.
When it comes to a reality show like Little Miss Perfect with parents who have no idea of the loss of childhood being imposed on their young daughters, you have to look at these parents and who they are. It becomes apparently clear that it's all about them...
Not to mention that these pageants must be a smorgasbord for creepy pedophiles hanging out in the lobbies.

i agree what signal are you sending these young girls? i also believe these women are living through their children. just what we need to set women back to the dark ages, parading them around like they are meat on a hook. we are still striving for equal pay and recognition in this "good ole boys'" world.
ReplyDeletethis looks like a pedophile's dream, making up little girls like they are adults women.
sad, sad, sad...we should be educating our little girls not making them a sex symbol.(boomer)
