Lady GaGa vs Madonna

I just saw the Universal Royalty episode yesterday...what a show! Little Ava Perez came back and her dad was OBSESSED with her winning. How many times did we hear "Ava HAS to win"? Anyway, Ava came out doing a Lady GaGa routine for talent, doing pretty well. However, you can imagine her father's disappointment when once again she came second runner-up.

Then, they introduce us to the future Madonna, a two-year old named Mia. Mia comes out dressed as an angel praying, then takes of her gown to reveal a golden cone bra dress. The audience goes wild, this really reminds me of Little Miss Sunshine when Olive comes out doing her "Can't Touch This" routine. CREEPY!

We also see a four year old named Aishlynn, who is pretty cute and ends up winning 0-5 year olds Grand Supreme.

Mia, or, should I say, Madonna, wins Grand Talent. Surprise, surprise! The judges loved the cone bra!

The last episode of the season is the Rodeo Pageant, where we meet again with Karmen Walker. For those of you who don't know who she is, Karmen is 4 or 5 and has the cutest little face ever. However, in the preview for the last episode, Karmen is featured with another girl and the narrator calls it "Sweet vs Sass", referring to Karmen as the sass. We also see her stick out her tongue and say "I'm not nervous, cause the babies can't beat me." Lovely!

#6 Danielle...Taking Over Makenzie

I know it's been a while since my last post, so let me give a recap of the Arizona Gold Coast Pageant:

First came the Arizona Gold Coast Pageant, where we re-visited our lovely toddler star Makenzie along with twin babies, Scarlett & Isabella, and, last but certainly not least....DANIELLE!

Notice I have put the name Danielle in all caps, and yes, there is a reason for that. We've all thought Makenzie was the most spoiled brat we would ever see on the show, but here comes 8 year old Danielle, taking the lead! Personally, I'd take Makenzie over Danielle ANY day.

Now, what is so bad about Danielle? First of all, she thinks she pretty...excuse me, she KNOWS she's pretty ("It's hard for me to put make-up on, cause I know I'm pretty," quote from Danielle, not to mention when her mother tells her to get her beauty sleeps and she responds by saying "I don't believe in that. Cause I'm always beautiful.") and to be honest she's just your average looking kid.

She practices a routine with a fruit on her head (???) and when the fruit falls off she breaks into tears "cause she's not perfect." The worst part is at the pageant though, especially when a little 4 year old girl named Ellison (who was featured in a previous episode) smiles at the tv camera.

"She's stealing my spotlight," Danielle tells her mom, "I hope they cut that out." Danielle's mom mentions in the interview how Danielle would never hurt a fly, but one second later we see her slap some little kid walking by. Danielle also mentions how she feels when she wins "It's hard to see girls when I win all the time because they cry." Yeah.

Danielle is also preparing on ways to set off her temper tantrum if she loses: "If I lose, I'm gonna trash the hotel," and "I might tackle the judges."

Anyway, the other girls were also interesting in their own ways. Makenzie, was of course, Makenzie, and Scarlett and Isabella were a new view from the pageant world. The twins were 1 year old and had 70-100 dresses that each cost about $1,300. The mom also owned a private plane and a limo.

In the end, Makenzie came 2nd Runner Up in her age group and her mother looked quite disappointed. Isabella got the princess title and Scarlett and Danielle both got the queen title gave them a chance to win grand supreme. 3rd place is won by an uknown contestant while 2nd place is Ellison. Then I sat on the couch crossing my fingers and hoping and praying that Danielle would not win Ultimate Grand Supreme.

And the winner was....

Scarlett! I cannot tell you how satisfying it was to see Danielle crying on stage and talking about how it wasn't fair that a baby won during her interview and start to cry again. Well, this was definately an episode to see!

#5 Taralyn...different?

I just watched the Groovy Girls episode today and I realized I made a mistake...Taralyn never threw a fit or anything, it must have just been part of my imagination...But we do see Taralyn again and she may very well be considered different. Why?

First of all, she has longer hair, and personally I think it suits her much better.

Secondly, her personality seems to have changed. She seems much more comfortable in front of the camera, and much less shy.

Third is her mom. Traci Eschberger seemed so nice and kind to all the other pageant girls and their moms...This time we see a new side of her. Don't get too excited, we're not talking about Jamie Sterling, but she absolutely needed everything to be perfect. We hear her complaining about how Taralyn looks in her beauty, how she walks, and she even says "I want everything to be perfect!" I think we all do.

Taralyn also had a new rival, Brooklyn. Brooklyn was said to be one of Taralyn's best friends, but she sure didn't look too pleased when Taralyn took home the Ultimate Grand Supreme.

Taralyn was also competing against our favorite Toddler Star...Mackenzie! But sadly we didn't get to see much of her.

Don't miss next week's episode featuring Eden Wood!

"Vegas, Baby!"

Just viewing the title of the Vegas pageant got me worried, and sure enough, 90% of the toddlers were dressed up a showgirls. Cone bras, showgirls, lady gagas, what's next? Also, not long ago the Mardi Gras pageant was released. I have to say that little Brenna reminded me of a mini Mackenzie. I loved how she yelled at her dad for talking on stage.
Toddlers and Tiaras next release is featuring Taralyn (a toddler star!). From the preview, it looks like she had a breakdown during crowning when she lost at her last pageant. Sweet little Taralyn, who always congradulated all the winners? Now I may be wrong, but if I'm right, it looks like Traci Eschberger might have pushed Taralyn a little too far.

Going back to the Vegas pageant, Cassidy Blair is back! Now that she is on meds, it's true that she doesn't beat up inanimate objects anymore, but that doesn't stop her from being a little devil. She absolutely loves hitting her mom and you would have thought she was going to die when she got a paper cut. If it were up to me, I nominate Cassidy for playing the child demon in the horror movie!

"It Hurts To Be Beautiful"

Five year old Faith's mom's most famous quote would be "It hurts to be beautiful." A new season of Toddlers & Tiaras has just released their first episode, and we've already been able to prove Faith mom's quote.
Five year old Sami Jo was taken to get an eyebrow waxing. Appearently, this was not her first time, because the wax had once burned her and ripped off her skin. In this experience, we see a 5 year old screaming "NO!" and crying after and before she gets waxed. I don't know about you, but I'm pretty excited to see how the rest of the season turns out...

Based on the new season clips on TLC, I can infer we will be seeing two twin babies who own 70 dresses not to mention a private jet. On top of that, two of our Toddler Stars, Eden Wood and the unforgettable Makenzie will be returning. According to her mother, Makenzie has "matured." Can't wait to see if that's true!

Little Miss Perfect is also airing their first episode on January 19th, so stay tuned to see how things turn out there!
Since I promised this issue would be a "Worst Parents" issue, here you have it:
Jaime Sterling is definently up high in the rankings, closely followed by Isabella's mom (guess which one I'm talking about this time!), although we haven't seen Sami Jo yet, I have a pretty good feeling her mom makes top 5, the little boy Zander's mom, oh, I could go on forever. Comment about your thoughts!

#2: Sterling Twins & Cutie Patootie

If you are familiar with Toddlers & Tiaras, then you are familiar with the Sterling twins. Jaime Sterling, mother of five beauty queens, chooses to feature her twin daughters BreAnne and AshLynn Sterling on the show.

"BreAnne does look a lot like mommy," she states, "she is probably the prettiest of the five."

First of all, it's wrong to think about which of your daughters is the prettiest, but going from a thought to a statement on t.v. is HORRIBLE! What are poor AshLynn and the other three kids going to think?
BreAnne also seems to have very high self-esteem, knowing that she usually wins queen when her twin sister only wins princess. AshLynn, on the other hand, seems to have very low self esteem. "I don't like competing against my sister because it's hard to win," she says.

BreAnne also shows to have potential to be a brat when you see her kicking and screaming at the pageant. Her dad insists to pull her out, and finally, Jaime unwillingly pulls her out of the pageant. Stay tuned for a next issue featuring "Worst Parents", which we all probably have an idea on who they are...
BreAnne Sterling                                                            AshLynn Sterling

Now for a fairly newer topic, the "Cutie Patootie" rap, preformed by the famous Toddler Star Eden Wood. We see her rap on the talk show, where she states she likes to shake her bootie. Shannon looks like she's going to die, but Eden later states when asked if she really wants to do pageants "I want to do it all." Well I hope Eden enjoys her life as a beauty queen more than AshLynn!

Toddlers & Tiaras Stars, Little Miss Perfects and Baby Beauty Queens

This is the first "magazine" entry! I will now talk about the toddler "stars" of toddlers and tiaras. These are the kids who made the biggest impression on the show whether it is because of their positive attitude, negative attitude, winning streak or something else!

The first Toddler Star is Miss Eden Wood. Eden was shown at the Universal Royalty pageant where she took home the Grand Supreme title. Her biggest rival, Taralyn, is another Toddler Star. She was newer to pageants than Eden, but that didn't stop her from rocking the stage! In her featured competition she took home the highest title beating Eden, but later Eden was shown beating Taralyn. Stay tuned for the next magazine issue: Eden v.s. Taralyn!

Our next Toddler Star is Miss Isabella. You may be thinking, which Isabella? There were so many! But you can probably have a good idea of the Isabella I am talking about when I say this: she might just have the sweetest attitude on the show. This little brunette wears cute little glasses and I have never seen her be upset. Isabella is the "Miss Congeniality" of the toddlers!

The next Toddler Star goes to Miss Story. She may not be the most memorable of the toddlers, but when I say "Story" you probably know which girl I'm talking about. But why Story? She didn't win, she didn't have the best personality or the worst, but to me, Story just stood out because of her extreme beauty. If anyone was born to be a beauty queen, it was her. But don't forget that there is more to life than being beautiful!

I could go on all day, but toddler stars wouldn't mean what they mean if I did. So the last Toddler Star is Miss Makenzie. Yes, I think we all know which one I'm talking about! Makenzie, the sweet freckled four year old with the big blue eyes...but that's definently not where it stops. We first see Makenzie when she's talking about fancy clothes, yet when her crown falls off her head the fancy clothes are forgotten and are followed by a dreadful scream. We all remember her signature lines such as "Well, where's my drink?" and "You are drivin' me nuts!" But don't let all that fool you. When she gets on stage, you would never think there's a devil behind her angelic appearance!

Well, that wraps up our Toddler Stars! Comment on what you think of these girls and who you think should have been or was chosen to be a toddler star.

But Toddlers & Tiaras is only one show where we see little beauty queens. If you are not familiar with these, I am sure you will enjoy the shows "Little Miss Perfect" or the British reality show "Baby Beauty Queens".

If you are familiar with the show Little Miss perfect, then you must be familiar with Miss Shelby (the brunette with the light eyes). Shelby was competing against Hadlie, and although Hadlie won the title of Little Miss Perfect, Shelby did not place in the pageant. We later hear her mom say "This will be the last pageant Shelby will compete in". Well I can prove that statement wrong! In a later featured Little Miss Perfect, Shelby competes against Taylor & Madison vs Maggie. Shelby once again misses the title, but places second in the entire pageant.
Well, mom, anything to say to your defense?

Baby Beauty Queens is a British show featuring child beauty queens. Unlike the US, Britain had no child beauty pageants until a few years ago. Two pageant organizers opened up a pageant called Mini Miss UK. The youngest kids to sign up were seven years old.

The three contestants featured were Madison, Tyla and Sasha. Madison, a nine year who wanted to be a model had sky blue eyes and brown hair. She and her mum would do anything to win the pageant-that included having their whole church pray for her.

Tyla was also nine years old with long brown hair and darker blue eyes. She was the youngest child ever to get contact lenses, and at the age of seven she got plastic surgery on her ears because they "stuck out".

Sasha was only seven and she was a cute little blonde hair blue eyed child who liked to play dress up. Her family lived in a small house and could not afford the expenses of the pageant so they had to get help.



Eden Wood



Neither of these girls ended up placing in the pageant. Comment on what you think and remember if you haven't already-watch these shows! They're great entertainment!
