When their not spray-tanning their child, spending thousands of bucks on outfits or watching their children fake-smiling on stage, what do Pageant Moms do? Facebook.
For every child who has ever been featured on Toddlers & Tiaras, there is a fanpage on facebook for them. Most are run by their parents, who proudly put up pictures of their kids smothered in makeup and posing in bikinis. Eden Wood has 29,859 fans (as of now) and more photos than an average celebrity has in a lifetime-her page/photos can be viewed here: http://www.facebook.com/#!/media/albums/?id=133962794274. I'm telling you, I'm not kidding.
Their pages are only a small part of the whole facebook thing. Free photo contests are all over facebook too, and pageant moms seem to like those too (probably because they've spent all their money on pageants). Some of the contests consider themselves "online pageants," because they give out titles such as prettiest hair, most beautiful, ultimate grand supreme, etc. "Child Beauty Queenz Photo Contest" (nice name, right?) just gave out "glitz supreme" titles, and is currently hosting a Miss Summer photo contest. This free contest can be viewed here: http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Child-Beauty-Queenz-Photo-Contest/149172325146789?sk=wall
To name a few of the Toddlers & Tiaras girls who compete in these photo contest, there is; Taralyn, Emerald Gordon-Wulf (will be featured), and all the ones who compete in "only girls from toddlers and tiaras" (Kylie, Eden, Brooklyn, Alex, etc.)
So, what do you think of photo contests? Aren't these moms just a little body image obsessed?
I have done a few photo contests, like on Parents.com, to win prizes for my granddaughter, but I find that they are really popularity contests or who can drum up the most vote contests, so we do not do them, unless they are actually just judged by a panel of judges and do not require people to vote.
