No worries, Fanny. I've set my DVR, so I won't watch until tomorrow, either.

Goodness!

I watched the first half hour before coming into work, this morning.

Do I have to watch any more? Ever?

We can only hope these little girls don't grow up so scarred they won't ever get over
it. I don't how far into the show one them says "I love myself" or something to that
effect while she's admiring herself in the mirror.

Who is in the audience for these events, aside from all the family members of the entrants?

I want to smack those parents silly. Especially the Moms who are living vicariously through their child. I liken it to a passive aggressive form of child abuse!

Can't say as I've noticed a big crowd at any of them, so I would say it's only parents and
maybe a grandparent or two. It really is aggravating the way they let the mothers get up and parade around and yell when their kids are up on stage. Sit down and act civilized for God's sake!!!

They should assess penalty points for any parents who gets out of their chair!

and, sorry in advance for the following extremely polically Incorrect statement....


when you are the size of a mac truck, demonstrating the moves of a hootchiemama in the audience to remind your daughter of what to do on stage, is most unpleasant for anyone to watch.

Where are the dads? Are they doing a show on toddlers and trucker caps?

Mostly, I think they're busy working to pay for the tens of thousands of dollars their wives are spending on the little princesses.

I don't understand why anyone would put their child thru a pageant. Kids are never chosen to be in modeling or commercials via a pageant. It is not how kids are picked to be models not to mention, the kids don't seem to get anything good out of it.

My daughter did some modeling and her agency always said to dress her like a kid, no make-up and natural hair. There are hundreds and hundreds of cute kids in Chicago and the competition is unbelievable. If a child was unhappy and didn't want to be at the audition, the casting agencies didn't force any child to be there. Most of the time at the auditions, the kids got a little toy or lots of candy and they always told the kids they did great and were so cute.

At a photo shoot, my daughter didn't want to model the backpack for the ad. As soon as she said no, the client said ok no problem, we will use her for something else and we left. They always have backups for commercials and photo shoots. If a child isn't used they still get 50% of the regular fee.

I can speak for Matias' mom a little bit on this. About a million years ago, her mom took her to Colorado Miss or something because she was the most beautiful and talented kid in Colorado, and her mom wanted everybody to have the opportunity to recognize that. I gotta say, though, times have changed. There were no $500 flippers that would be used once, no three hours of hair and makeup, no parents in the audience coaching their kids during the talent portion. She did get a very pricey party dress but used her regular gymnastics outfit for her talent routine.

She had fun, gained some valuable performance experience and confidence, being in front of an audience of about 200 total strangers, and got a fabulous photo of herself being escorted to the "party" in her beautiful "party dress" by her father, a photo she later on paired with a photo of them walking down the aisle to the altar to give to Dad as a Christmas present, which is now one of Dad's most cherished possessions.

Except for the party dress, which I thought outrageously expensive, the cost was not exorbitant. However, I think Mom and Dad were smart enough to recognize the trends, and that was the first and last pageant. Also, Mom overheard something in the coffee shop which made her think that a pretty good share of choosing the winner was based on how much advertising space in the program's pageant each girl's family sold (pure profit for the pageant organizers). The winner that year sold the most space in the program (shocker) even though IMHO she was outshone by a long way by both the second and third place contestants.

IIRC, Matias' mom placed fifth in the talent portion but no other top ten finishes. I'm sure she'd say she was glad she did it once.

So, Fanny, why haven't you posted any replies in this thread? If you were waiting for me the suffer through the rest of the episode, I did that last night, okay?

Now what about that "Hoarders" show you wanted me to watch? When is that on?

I don't think he likes to, I think it just happens. He makes his post, and doesn't worry about the aggravation factor.
