Accurate Miniatures
Was the Beauty Pageant in "Little Miss Sunshine" a fairly accurate representation of what they are like?
It looked like they were trying to turn all those poor little girls into miniature but plastic adult beauty queens - bait for pedophiles. Do some of the parents even notice that?
A lot of state and national "glitz" pageants are just like that, but many are not. The kid pageants seen in the media are not a fair representation of all pageants. My daughter participated in pageants from age 11 mos until just before her 4th birthday. She finally lost one, and freaked out, and we will never do it again, it was aweful. We only did local and pre-lim pageants because of the make-up, fake hair, fake teeth, eye-lashes, etc. issue, but most moms start out small, swearing their child will never wear make-up and they get drawn in. There is a lot of money at stake (it costs thousands to enter a national pageant, with prizes like cars, thousands of dollars in cash & bonds, scholarships, etc.) and anytime money is involved, people go a little nuts. The problem is that to win these big prizes, the kids have to be perfect, and that means fake hair, tanning, make-up, etc. or they aren't at all competitive.
We got out fairly un-scathed (except for a few tears) and I don't care to ever do that again. It's tons of fun until your little one doesn't win, and can't understand why she didn't get a crown too. I'm not a competitive person, but it's hard for a three yr old to understand that for the other 15+ pageants that she won, a lot of little girls didn't win.
