Child pageants are a 5 BILLION $ industry -

Among the many questions raised by photographs of child beauty pageant contestants, there is the question of how we are to view them. Are these images art or exploitation? Creep show or camp? The little faces spackled with makeup, the hair poufed and shellacked, the fake tans, fake teeth (called "flippers," they mask baby teeth), fake nails and, often, fake smiles -- all of it seems so jarring on toddlers and tweens.

Fake face, fake teeth, fake nails - take a look at the slide show, it's quite creepily disturbing.

No different from adult beauty pageants, then. I have to agree, though - those images are just plain scary.
 
I cannot believe how provocative some of those outfits are... And the makeup! FFS a little girl does not need to wear bright red lipstick :mad:

There is plenty of time for dressing up, makeup and getting your nails down. The pedos must be having a field day :(

There are some sick people out there...

Every child deserves the right to a stage of pure innocence... Let kids be kids
