Child Beauty Pageants

I know they're supposed to be like beauty pageants for little girls, but for some reason it always feels like I'm watching a human dog show.

Using windmill punches.

You mean the ones where little girls are made to look by 7 yearolds and the moms spend thousands of dollars not to fulfill the little girls dreams but to fulfill their own and exploit their children for attention and their husbands would beat the **** out of them if they knew how much money was wasted on all that ****? Yeah, I hate them too.

Every now and then, someone on the internet mentions something from Japan like used-underwear vending machines and wacky genitalia festivals. Lolling and roffles soon follow, and people generally roll their eyes and say "Oh, that wacky crazy Japan! They're so crazy over there!"

There are plenty of instances which the Western world is crazy. Example: child beauty pageants.

Child beauty pageants will never be as crazy as used underwear machines or wacky genitalia festivals.

"High Glitz" is a subgenre of child beauty pageants characterized by couture "glitz" costumes and a broad array of cosmetic preparations including, among other tricks of the trade: glamour makeup, elaborate hairstyles, and "flippers" (false front teeth veneers).

...

Each year as many as 100,000 children under the age of 12 participate in U.S. child beauty pageants, and it has recently become a billion-dollar industry. Parents invest thousands of dollars on costumes and private coaches to give their children a competitive edge. Countless hours are spent by professional hair and makeup artists on each child in preparation for the competition. The girls are spray-tanned, made-up, and groomed to a glossy perfection. Anderson captures the results of this time-consuming transformation process in exquisite detail.

Spray tan, fake hair, fake teeth, fake nails, more makeup than any reasonable adult would wear. Disgusting.

At least giant penis festivals have some sort of old cultural background.

As for used panty vending machines, they sound pretty awesome pretty unsanitary.

Yeah, but they did provide basis for the movie Little Miss Sunshine, which I love, so they at least have that going for them.

Unfortunately, they then have every single other reasonable force in the universe going against them, so...

^ Between you and me, I think rules don't apply.

And remember, "There's-a space you can walk if we try."
