Today I want to talk about something that has bothered me for a while now. You have all heard me gripe about reality T.V. well there is another subject that is really getting to me, Child Beauty Pageants.
I am sure everyone saw the recent video of the mother giving her child Botox injections and the video about the mother who dressed her child like the lovable hooker from “Pretty Woman”. I have to ask, am I the only one who is appalled by this? So now we are dressing our little girls like prostitutes just to win a beauty pageant? When are we going to get a grip on our society and put an end to this craziness? Is it going to be when the little girl propositions someone as part of the talent competition? This behavior is unacceptable and we all know it; if we are going to have child beauty pageants then they should be judged as children not children who look like adults; certainly not children who dress like prostitutes. You all know I am far from being called a prude but this is ridiculous. What are these moms thinking? Is this what they dream of for their children; that they be judged the best looking prostitute? A five year old girl should not even know what a prostitute is let alone dress like one. Come on people we are supposed to be at the top of the food chain. What next is her mom going to take her on the Maury Povich show; I was a kindergarten hooker? As a side note the mother of the little version of pretty woman said in retrospect it was a bad idea and next time she will dress her daughter like an Angel. I am guessing Victoria Secret Angel? I hope you’re all picking up on the sarcasm because I am laying it on very thick. Someone get this mom some parenting classes for Christmas. (I am not kidding about that.) Please help your old pal Willy Nilly and sit down and write a letter to your lawmakers and have these ridiculous competitions stopped for our children’s sake. You and I did not risk our lives in Iraq and Afghanistan to give these parents the right to abuse their children this way. YES to me it IS child abuse.
