modeling and pagents

Quoting Kelly&Coralie:" I wouldn't do it I'm very anti pageants"

Quoting jess m401:" Since forever almost everyone that has met DD has said that I should put her in modeling. I just always ... [snip!] ... so not what I want for my baby. Please does anybody else feel this way about it? Am I crazy to be taking it this seriously?"

Quoting VERONICA. MOM OF 6:" I feel you. I have 3 girls who are soooo pretty but I refuse to put them in pageants too. Why?!? Because, ... [snip!] ... ...Oh heck naw...not my little girls. Little girls and parents now-a-days are starting to loose touch of what REAL beauty is. "

Quoting Historymomma:" I have an adorable, blue eyed blonde hair little girl with great personality! (ok, I am sure every mother ... [snip!] ... and intelligence. People should be rewarded for their accomplishments, and looking like a doll is not an accomplishment!"

Quoting ☾BizzyBee♉:" You ARE aware that many pageants are more than just looks, right? If you bomb the questions, the talent, or have bad posture and poise, you lose, even if you're the most gorgeous girl in the world.

Yes, I am fully aware that their are rehearsed questions that honestly do not show any intelligence, and I am going to lump posture and poise into the same category as beauty. However, the pageants I believe the op were referring to were the ones for toddlers and/or young children; they are not asking too many worldly questions on those stages. Are these young girls being asked to submit coloring sheets, or being asked to show their counting talents... I think not.

Quoting ☾BizzyBee♉:" And I think you're being horribly biased. Many of the pageants I'm personally talking about are for ... [snip!] ... thinks, and go out and shine for JUST a little bit, with a spotlight on THEM. Many girls love pageants JUST for that aspect. "

Quoting Historymomma:" The fact that it was said it is for "pretty child" says it all right there. Again, this is my opinion, I would not choose to put my daughter in a pageant. We will just have to agree to disagree."

Quoting jess m401:" <blockquote><b>Quoting Historymomma:</b>" "</blockquote> Exactly. She's gonna ... [snip!] ... judge her. Even the "natural " pagents, that don't do crazy make up, I still think they're stupid. SO thinks I'm crazy, tho.."
