I read up a little bit on this show and the parents are also known to juice up their kids with redbull and coke so that they can practice past bedtime and in general, push their kids to disturbing limits of dress-up and competition.

Ashton Kutcher, this is something for you to freak out on.

Eh, it just makes me go, ‘Adults, what is wrong with their heads that they need to project their shit onto children’. I mean, that little girl is just having a nice time dressing in funny tall shiny boots and a yellow wig – I can’t imagine she’s going to be traumatised for life at having been dressed up like a tiny ho-doll.

I am a bit unnerved at (a) the effort that has gone into the miniature perfect replica of Julia Roberts’s hooker dress and (b) the internalisation of that ‘save the girls from being prostitutes’ narrative to the extent that mothers are having their tiny daughter act it out, but I can’t find anything disturbing in the ‘ooh hey people are looking!’ innocence on that little girl’s face. She’s just fine.

You have to admire a mother who drops all that pageant pretense and goes straight for the jugular. Good on this woman, for holding a mirror up to folks that don’t much like reflection.

I always joke that the kids that are seen on Toddlers and Tiaras are actually getting prepped for their appearances on 16 and Pregnant, about ten years later, and then Intervention, after that. Maybe they make it to Hoarders if they live that long.

Over-sexing kids is just….precious, aint it?
