Thank You for taking the time to write your message. There are a lot of negative comments on this message board but have you noticed that no one had a comment to yours? Could it be that you have the right idea? Absolutely! The decisions affect your family and "your" family (all of you) are involved in making the decisions. I commend you for your involvement with your daughters interests. This will help your daughter when she has a husband and children. Both my parents were very involved with my interests and my brothers interests when we were growing up. They were our biggest fans, and always proud of us. It did not matter to them if we won or lost the fact is we tried and had fun. Dignity, honesty and passion are big values in life. Great Job!
The biggest complaint about these pageants is the fake teeth, make-up, eyelashes, wigs, spray tans etc. If it were a true beauty contest, with natural children and not barbie dolls, then there would be no discussion. I have twin girls who modelled for years and I can tell you that the agency did not even allow make-up for the young girls because the clients don't want little "hookers" , they want "real" children.
