We are aware that two of the biggest rivals in these child pageants are Eden Wood and Taralyn Eschberger. They compete against each other for most beautiful, best personality, most photogenic, etc. But does that make it right to compare a 5 year old against a 6 year old anyway? Here is what their stages would be:
Beauty-Eden would have a very expensive, busy dress, usually pink and silver, her hair would be either in curls or in a bun, spray tan, too much make-up, etc. Taralyn would have a busy blue dress that comes with a blue necklace, overtanned, long curly red hair extensions, tons of make-up, etc.
Outfit of Choice- Eden would wear her usual pink and purple showgirl outfit, with her Eden Wood doll and Vegas background, while Taralyn would dress like some kind of popstar in a two piece.
Personally, I don't find anything wrong with either of the girl's personality. Taralyn is very sweet and Eden can get a little attitude but is still normal for someone her age.
Traci Eschberger is Taralyn's mom. She is not one of the obese, ugly mothers, but is very pretty and elegant. However, she seems to push Taralyn into the competition. She herself says: "I want everything to be perfect!" She had a little anxiety attack at the Groovy Girls pageant with Taralyn's flipper.
Mickie Wood is Eden's mom. She is very into the pageants and finds herself doing Eden's routines while she's on stage. She has that southern accent. She is not as much of a perfectionist as Traci, and I don't think she is too pushy compared to the other moms.
Eden enjoys pageants. But just because your kid enjoys being on stage, does it mean you should dress them up as a showgirl?
