OMG thank you. I remembered way back years ago a documentary about these people who dressed their daughters up like women with big 80's hair and clothes and makeup and danced them in front of men to be chosen as brides. They were 9 and 10 years old. I was sickened by the whole thing and I was only a teenager when I saw this. I am now hitting 30's and putting my daughter in pageants seems so far from this or I would be sickened by it too. I am not trying to marry off my child and I am not dressing her in an exact duplicate/miniature version of a womans evening gown, nor am I styling her hair like an older woman. I see no similarities between the two but I was trying to tell someone about these people and I couldn't remember what they were called and I am so glad I am not the only one who has heard of them.
