Just watched baby beauty queens on I player it was BBC3 last night.
The show is about the 1st little miss uk beauty pageants must admit found it hard to watch at times.
I think it OK for kids to mess around with make up but to have them dolled up like las Vegas show girls is a bit much and do go on camera and say you were worried about your little girl because you thought she was ugly when she was born takes a special kind of parent. and the Scottish girl just looked miserable all the time.
Found it funny that the girls who were in the top 3 where the one's who did not over do it on the make up.
 
Parents who want to live vicariously through their children aren't that uncommon. It's just that in sport it's considered OK to have pushy parents but not in beauty pageant, popular performance arts* and, that miracle of 21st century television, instant 'celebrity'.

*to differentiate it from classical performance arts, which sees many precocious infants with amazing talents but it's more than acceptable for parents to push their kids in this area too.
