No fake anything, no makeup before 16 years old, poise, personal hygiene, personality. Make them show actual "TALENT" not just fakeness and posing/"dancing" in provocative stances/making cutesy/sexy faces/gestures. Also, a decent question/interview portion to show they have a brain, as well. The parents and judges have taken it way too far, these kids on toddlers and tiaras look so like fake little mannequins/kiddie porn.<br /><br />I was in a local kiddie pageant at age 5, wore my easter dress and barretts in my hair, no makeup, no false teeth, no fake eyelashes, wore my church shoes, walked, sang and answered questions. I didn't win, but one of my good friends did. I was in the teen version of the same pageant at 18, wore my already worn Prom Dress and shoes, did my own makeup and hair, there was an interview with the 3 judges a day beforehand, I had tham all laughing. I walked on the stage did the turns and all, there was no talent portion or I would've sang, no swimsuit part, but there was a question - "Tell us about your sponsoring organization." I nailed that and gave a 1.5 minute speech about the Lions Club. I won the whole thing. Did it go to my head? Was I a little spoiled brat about any of it, no. I was glad I won, and had fun with it, and cam back the next year to crown the next queen after a summer of riding floats in all the other local parades.<br /><br />The parents need to shift the focus, or someone needs to start some natural beauty/talent pageants rather than all these glitz ones.

The whole piercing, tattoo, nose jobs, cell phones, class trips to Florida in 6th grade, etc is out of control. <br /><br />I firmly believe that parents have forgotten how to say "NO!". I think I have the only children in my school district who are not loaded up to the eyeballs w/ expensive cell phones that have unlimited texting.<br /><br /> I have four kids, only two of the four even have a use for a cell phone. However they don't have one, they have both figured out how to download an app, 1 for his iPod touch(that he JUST got for Christmas at age 14), and the other for his Nook tablet(also for Christmas, age 17) that they can text for free just like a phone, as long as they have wifi. They are both allowed to have a phone as long as they pay for it. The other two, 8 and 10, have no need for a cell phone. Unlike most of their friends it seems, who can't get through life w/o one. Amazing. We have a land line, they are all welcome to use it. I have a cell phone, as does my husband, we don't have unlimited anything, and get along just fine.MommyOntheEdgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04724609195596015786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5984487997306130330.post-41476519698721963102012-03-07T20:56:15.845-06:002012-03-07T20:56:15.845-06:00My daughter wanted one when she was that age, trus...My daughter wanted one when she was that age, trust me she did not need one.

However, she didn't want them. I wanted her to have them and not so that she could achieve a shapely buttocks. Heck I have three pairs and I knew having them don't result in that. But they are well built shoes and I figured they would be more comfortable for her and get her walking more. <br /><br />My daughter wants a cell phone (she is 9) and I am putting my foot down. I mean at what point at this age is she going to be somewhere w/o another adult around that would have a cell phone or home phone?? <br /><br />Oh and she wanted an iPad to, get this, learn to the play the piano.

The worst these pageant moms do is give their little girls giant self-esteem issues (which is bad enough, I'll grant you). They do NOT inject them with prescription drugs that are heavily regulated.

I do think their parents must smoke some special form of crack everyday. I have a 14 year old daughter who will not have a nose, nipple, belly button piercing or tattoo while she lives under my roof.
