I think that everything is so sexualized that it's trickled down to children. It's really sad. You are right, it would be a big inside joke, lol.

Why do they have to make them all womanized and weird. I've thought it would be funny to enter my very pretty daughter in one, but without makeup and with a regular off-the-rack dress on. Gasp! Do you think she might win? But, then I considered the culture of those pageants and realized I would be the only one getting the joke.

It must be hard though because there are only so many hours a day, and if she spends most of them at school....but I think as long as kids have a strong foundation they can tune out the peer pressure.

At 7, my DD already has a complex about what popular is and who the "pretty" girls are. This is not something that I teach her she is learning this at school from the other girls - girls with older sisters. I explain to her that it doesn't matter what you look like, what matters is your character, how you treat others - these are things that you will always remember, not who was the pretty girl at 7. I have been asked several times by people on the street if I plan to put her in a cutest kids contest or let her in pagents - I am already getting paperwork sent to me without my request - and I simply say, "No." I don't need these things to tell me my DD is wonderful.
