Subject: Great board!! I'd love to see a discussion about what people think about children who have fake hair, nails, teeth, eyelashes, etc. I know it can be a touchy subject, but there are so many mothers who want to put there daughters in, but they have alot to measure up to when they see all different girls in the pageants these days....Opinions, please???? :-)

[> I think it's fine as long as they realize it's just to play dress up (for the pageant) and then take all that junk off before they leave the pageant. My dd does glitz and natural and she's under 10 years old. A pet peeve I have is when I see little girls at restaurants right after crowning still in full H&M. I always bring make-up wipes with me. She knows that she doesn't need to wear it in public because some people may not appreciate it. Am I making sense? LOL -- No name, 19:20:32 05/09/06 Tue [1]

[> I agree completely, my daughter just turned four, and yes, she has a fall and a wiglet, but no eyelashes (hers are long enough), no fake teeth or anything else. Then there's the subject of applying makeup, then upgrading to making her look like a hooker. I mean seriously!! I mainly use my daughter's falls for pictures for curly and stuff, but she has done this enough and knows that makeup and dressiness are for the pageants only.....I completely agree. If they leave makeup on their daughters, they're basically flaunting it and there are too many people out there just hunting for another JonBenet, ya know? -- No name, 19:32:15 05/09/06 Tue [1]

[> [> My dd-who is pre-teen-also knows that the glitzy stuff is just for show and that it would not be acceptable in the "real" world. It is the same with her My Scene and Bratz dolls-I am constantly telling her that they do not represent general society-"real" women look nothing like these anorexic, big lipped dolls. Hopefully this will sink in with her! It certainly did with me when I was younger. -- No name, 20:34:50 05/09/06 Tue [1]

[> Personally I see some of the allure of glitz..the clothing mainly, however we only do natural. I understand the arguements of saving your childs hair, tans look better on stage, all the arguments. The one thing I really object to is the photos. When the photo is retouched so much it doesn't look like your child...why bother having your childs picture taken at all? Too many end up looking like Barbie dolls -- No name, 07:12:33 05/11/06 Thu [1]
