I watched it and I have to admit I was more intrigued than disgusted. I don't agree with the excessive makeup and over dressing but if your kid wants to get involved then you support it no matter what. I liked to hear that the competition wasn't opened to strangers and it was just the parents cheering the kids on. There is definitely an age limit on it though, Britney (was that her name?) wasn't impressive as a 17 year old "Darling" pfft. Time to pick up your life and look for a vocation girl! ]]> Sun, 08 Jun 2008 22:13:39 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17961&PID=407371&title=painted-babies-opinions#407371 <![CDATA[Painted Babies - Opinions : The original in on Prime on Tuesday...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17961&PID=407119&title=painted-babies-opinions#407119 Author: mummy_becks

I watched it, it creeps me out seeing little babies looking like little ladies even seeing her doing it when she was 17 still kind of creped me out.

I wouldn't even think about doing that to my kids the mums always seem, so pushy like that mum who's daughter doesn't do it anymore only in America I guess.]]> Sun, 08 Jun 2008 13:13:29 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17961&PID=407027&title=painted-babies-opinions#407027 <![CDATA[Painted Babies - Opinions : I didn&#039;t watch it, but no...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17961&PID=407019&title=painted-babies-opinions#407019 Author: Maya

I didn't watch it, but no way would my kids be allowed to be involved in anything like that full stop. Maya already fancies herself as Beyonce and I spend half my life trying to keep her out of my makeup drawer, imagine if I enabled that behaviour, or encouraged it even

She did a ballet production a couple of years ago at age 3 where they had to have full stage make up and even tho the show itself was totally age appropriate, seeing her all dolled up like that made me distinctly uncomfortable.]]> Sun, 08 Jun 2008 13:05:24 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17961&PID=407019&title=painted-babies-opinions#407019 <![CDATA[Painted Babies - Opinions : for those that missed it...........it&#039;s...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17961&PID=407011&title=painted-babies-opinions#407011 Author: jack_&_charli

Oh yeah, Little Miss Sunshine was a brilliant movie, wasn't it?  I adored little Olive. 

But those pagents - creepy, creepy, & sick.  If they were in NZ, ain't no way my daughter would go near one.  I feel sorry for those kids.  Ooh but what about the girl from the original doco who wasn't doing them anymore?  I thought she'd turned out pretty well considering.

Yeah sad she was still doing it and part of me (the part that thinks they are a phycologist) thinks she was still doing it because of her absent father.... trying to impress and win to prove shes worth something???!!! and its unfortunate that she can't sing!

No child of mine would ever be doing that. I personally found it creepy and weird and remember watching the first one and feeling the same!

So agree about her not being able to sing..thought maybe it was be being a cow..guess not.

Both little girls were really just doing it for their mothers.]]> Thu, 05 Jun 2008 19:54:09 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17961&PID=404864&title=painted-babies-opinions#404864 <![CDATA[Painted Babies - Opinions : Those older made-up girls were...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17961&PID=404853&title=painted-babies-opinions#404853 Author: lizzle

i thought it was sad to see her still doing it!   but of course, it's her decision......she needs to find a new talent though, singing is definately NOT her thing!
i was actually surprised at her figure too...don't get me wrong, she looked good, but she was curvier than i thought she'd be considering she'd been in the business for so long

i definately wouldn't want charli all dollied up like that and dancing so provocatively!!   it's a wonder they were both so level headed and not screwed up drama queens after that upbringing]]> Thu, 05 Jun 2008 19:44:18 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17961&PID=404846&title=painted-babies-opinions#404846 <![CDATA[Painted Babies - Opinions : I would never want Sam to compete...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17961&PID=404792&title=painted-babies-opinions#404792 Author: Mama2two

I would never want Sam to compete in anything like that!
I especially did not think it was 'cute' to see them when they were 5 prancing around doing pelvic movements and sexy dancing and singing totally inappropriate lyrics!!!

That Asia girl was completely tone deaf and you would think someone would have suggested switching talents in the 12 years she had been doing it!
It was nice that she seemed to enjoy doing them still though and at 17 at least it is her choice, and not just her mother & Grandmother trying to live vicariously through her ]]> Thu, 05 Jun 2008 18:55:51 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17961&PID=404792&title=painted-babies-opinions#404792 <![CDATA[Painted Babies - Opinions : Awww buggar missed it but do want...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17961&PID=404774&title=painted-babies-opinions#404774 Author: Kels

I just watched the documentary from last night which was a follow up to the original doco called Painted Babies, but is 12 years later where the girls are 17. For anyone who hasn't seen either, the original was following 2 little girls and their families in the US who were participating in those kiddy pageants where the 5 year olds are done up to look like 20 somethings etc..

Did anyone watch this, or both? I couldn't help but feel a little sad for the girl who is still doing them..especially when she sings, she is totally tone deaf! haha She obviously loves it though and is old enough to decide if she wants to do it.

I know it's a big thing over there and some women thinks it's cute to see their kids dressed up etc. I personally find it all a bit creepy and strange seeing 5 year olds and under covered in makeup etc..

Not to bag anyones opinions, but does anyone here like the looks of these competitions?
