taking crazy way to far

Toddlers and Tiaras is a show on TLC about kids in pageants. Most people think this show is ridiculous and annoying because it shows five year olds dressed in little outfits wearing a lot of make-up. I personally can’t get enough of this show! Each week they have three children and their family on the show, and what they do is follow these kids through training, preparation, and the pageant. Most of the time the kids are cute and sweet but their mom is absolutely crazy! The mom will make them do these pageants and go through everything crying just so the parent feels good when they see their own kid win a trophy for being pretty. But then you also have the crazy spoiled kid with the push over parent in some episodes if you get lucky. Sometimes they have some children be on the show multiple times because they have crazy personalities. The three most famous toddlers and tiaras are Eden, McKenzie, and Alana. Eden is the top Toddler and Tiara because she has won so many pageants that she is starting to get into singing and acting. McKenzie is personally my favorite because she is so funny and spoiled. And Alana became famous because her and her family are a bunch of fat hicks from Georgia trying to win these big pageants. In this show there are two different kinds of pageants, there are natural and glitz. For natural the girls wear casual dresses with little to no make-up. Natural pageants aren’t as fun to watch as glitz because for glitz you have to go all out in order to become ultimate grand supreme (overall winner). In order to get ready for these you have to get spray tans, eyebrows done, get a flipper (fake teeth), have a 500 dollar or more bedazzled evening dress, fake eyelashes, and big hair pieces. After these five year olds have all of these things on the look like they could be twenty. But that’s what the judge likes to see, and if you don’t have all of those things you could get points deducted. I can understand why some parents don’t like this show but I think it’s great. Maybe I'll even enter my kid in a pageant or two when I become a parent!;) (word count 390)

little miss sunshine

Little Miss Sunshine is a movie about a little girl named olive who really wants to be in beauty pageants. Olive comes from a lower middle class family and the last thing they want to do is drive their eight year old daughter across the country to a pageant she got accepted into. But they do it anyways. They are also not a very happy family. Olive’s mom’s brother tried to commit suicide but failed so now he is in rehab and has to stay with their family until he gets better, so he is all depressed. Olives father Richard is a rude man who only cares about his business and being a winner even though he is a pretty big loser. The threes olives brother who is taking an oath of silence until he becomes a jet pilot in the navy so he hasn’t talked in a long time. Last but not least there is Olive’s grandfather who is addicted to heroin but probably the only person who actually cares about Olive and her pageants. The whole movie is about them taking a trip across the country and the problems they come across. First of all their van doesn’t start unless you give it a push then start it up. Also when they stop at a hotel over night the next morning Olives grandpa wouldn’t wake up so they took him to a hospital and they pronounced him dead. They didn’t have time to drive back to their own house or stay in the state and fill out the death certificate so they took him with them in their trunk. Later the dad honks the horn but the horn wouldn’t stop honking so they had to drive down the highway with the horn going. Because of that a police pulled them over and the police went to check the trunk but luckily he didn’t notice the dead body (I don’t know how). Another thing is while there at the hospital Olive picked up some tests to see if your color blind and her brother took the test and failed. You can’t be a jet pilot if your color blind so he has a melt down and finally talks. They finally got to the competition and Olive since she is kind of chunky and ugly she had no clue what she was doing on stage. She embarrassed the family at first with her dance UT then they embraced it and got on stage with her. Unfortunately they got kicked out of the pageant and banned from ever being in another pageant in the state of California. They were kind of upset at first but then they realized it’s not a big deal and were just happy to be a family. They got really close because of the trip and so it was a good thing they traveled all the way out there. ( word count 490)

baby mama

Baby Mama is about a woman who has tried every way to get a baby but it just won’t happen so she gets a surrogate. At first Kate (the woman wanting a baby) gets interviewed by a woman (Angie) who isn’t as classy as she wanted but well enough. Angie picks Kate and so they do the procedure and Angie tells Kate that it worked. So Kate is really excited that she is actually going to be a mom. She starts getting very controlling and when Angie gets in a fight with her boyfriend and moves in with Kate that’s when it’s the worse. Kate won’t let Angie eat anything fattening or processed everything has to be organic. She also won’t let her dye her hair or cause any arm to her body. They get in a lot of fights over stupid things. You figure that Angie wasn't really pregnant in the very beginning and was just in it for the money but ten she really does get pregnant but it’s not Kate’s it Angie’s boyfriends. So Kate can’t forgive her and kicks her out. Through the whole movie Kate gets a boyfriend and they hang out a lot but he doesn’t approve of surrogacy so she keeps it’s a secret. In the very end of the movie you figure out that Kate is pregnant somehow and it’s her boyfriends.so everybody ends up happy in the end. This movie is so funny because both of the main characters are comedians on SNL. My favorite part in the movie is either when Kate tries to get Angie to take a huge pill or when they go to birthing class and the instructor thinks they’re lesbians. Kate tries to get Angie to take a pill to make sure her baby doesn’t have a pinhead but the pill is huge and Angie refuses. She tries so many things like putting it in a sandwich and forcing it down it just doesn’t happen. When they go to the birthing class the instructor it a ditz and she has a really bad lisp and thinks that Angie and Kate are lesbians. It’s funny because they do stuff in the class where it makes both of them uncomfortable because it’s a birthing class for couples. It’s a hilarious movie and if you haven’t seen it, I would suggest you go see it even though it’s been out for a few years. (word count 427)
