Beauty pagents

Anybody reading this would be going over to the Beauty Queen contest, where in young girls walk on the ramp displaying - beauty, pomp, elegance, figures etc. 

Yesterday, I  saw one such program.  Oh No go on visualizing beautiful girls in exotic locations,  what I was

seeing was really distressing me - No dont take me wrong - It wasnt the bodies were exposed, it was very vulgar, etc. It was all for wrong reasons, the beauties were extremely adorable, everyone whether a woman or a man would love to cuddle these beauties and give a good kiss full of love - Hold your breath - these were all aged 2 1/2 to 4 years old. and the next group was above 5.   These children were made to undergo the following as per the explanation given by the TV show program  The toddlers & tiaras.  

On any given weekend, on stages across the country, little girls and boys parade around wearing makeup, false eyelashes, spray tans and fake hair to be judged on their beauty, personality and costumes. Toddlers and Tiaras follows families on their quest for sparkly crowns, big titles, and lots of cash.

The preparation is intense as it gets down to the final week before the pageant. From hair and nail appointments, to finishing touches on gowns and suits, to numerous coaching sessions or rehearsals, each child preps for their performance. But once at the pageant, it's all up to the judges and drama ensues when every parent wants to prove that their child is beautiful.

And the small child, who wasnt crowned says that she will do it again and again till she is crowned.  But why put small children through this.  Is it not abusing the childhood.  The same country talked left right and center when a underage boy become a Hero having climbed the Himalayas as the youngest ever to conquer the mountains.  Why are they allowing this.  More than the TV show, I would berate the parents - is your child not precious why are you putting her through this grill at such a young age.  What would happen to these children when they are growing up - will they not become too self centered.  I really pity these children.

My request is to stop this practice please and please.
