I always seem to hear mixed reactions when this gets brought up as a topic, especially when we're dealing with really, really young kids.

Friend of mine just posted her toddler's "glamour pics" leading up to a pageant.

Exhibit A:



Personally, I had to really look to see if this was a child or a doll, at first. Creeped me out.

So what's your take on this social practice?

Not that young, but I know somebody who has a 10yr old sister who they have in all that shit. I think its completely retarded. She is from LA, though, so I cant say I am really surprised.

creepy as fuck. Women who are reliving their youth and lives through their children. Parents should be shot.

I think this sums it up pretty good. Woman attempting to relive their youth.

I don't really care about pageants, but that picture is borderline terrifying.

The judges appear to be borderline pedophiles.

If that were true, this wouldn't be nearly so scary. This girl wouldn't know how to shop it, though.
