That should actually be the name of the TLC reality show about beauty pageants for little girls, not "Toddlers 'n' Tiaras".
My co-blogger posted about the latest display of venality and stupidity, here.
In the comments, DJ! readers wonder why women pimp their daughters in this manner.
Jezebel has a mind-boggling interview with someone who, I would venture to observe, is fairly typical of the venal and stupid mindset of these stage mothers. At one point, Stage Mommy describes the *enhancements* of the Dolly Parton outfit her daughter Maddy wears, which she herself wore as a child beauty pageant competitor, as "an added, y'know, extra bonus".
That woman sadly presents a stellar example of 'murrican "Caucasian debris" (more commonly known as white trash) mentality.
Nothing that I've seen, read or written about folks involved in this child exploitation shocks me. Though I'm puzzled that that none of the male judges for these beauty contests have ever been investigated or busted for kiddie porn.
There must a few of them, I'd reckon. Otherwise why would they do it? Imagine that job, the environment, the people you meet. Can it possibly be that lucrative, for the organizers?

Meanwhile, this is what some US kids consider child abuse, to the point of taking their mother to court.
