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)
