Beauty Shows

Right now I'm watching "Little Miss Perfect," like a deer caught in the headlights. Why? Good Lord, I can't really tell you why I haven't turned off this crap, but I can tell you the winds swirling in my head right now.

I will never understand why people* feel the need to pour pounds of makeup on little girls. Seriously, no self-respecting woman wears that much make-up. I would dare say Tammi Fay Baker never wore that much make-up. Good Lord, land of the living. Some of these little girls have so much make-up on that I can't really see how they can hold up their little heads under all the weight of that goo.

Then there is this business of the flipper, and these aren't the flippers you swim with. These are flippers to put over little girls teeth to make them perfect, straight, and shiny ass white. Um, little girls are supposed to have imperfect teeth as they are still growing into them.

The poor girls have hair extensions, spray tans, and starve themselves the day of a show. Seriously.

On another note, why is is that so much of this insane hoopla with making little girls look like hookers in the land of Texas?

For the record, I once competed in a beauty pageant in Texas, in a lavender dress with ruffles, and curls in my hair. No, I will not show you pictures. Yes, I will pummel you if you ever bring it up.
