I just can't imagine anyone injecting botox into their child. 

What happened to telling our daughters that they are beautiful just the way they are?




WyldHrt -> RE: Botox pageant Mom investigated (5/13/2011 8:19:40 PM)

The 8 year old got body waxed, too. [:'(]
TBH, the whole child beauty pageant thing creeps me out. It reminds me of the dog show circuit, which often makes the dogs neurotic. I can't imagine what it does to kids... beyond making 8 year olds check their faces for frikkin wrinkles every night. [8|]

Surgery for Graduation?

quote:



According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, more than 209,000 teenage girls underwent plastic surgery and cosmetic procedures in 2009.
The majority were noninvasive procedures, such as laser hair removal and skin resurfacing. But breast augmentation was one of the most popular surgeries and is increasingly requested by 18-year-old women.

Those numbers shouldn’t shock you. About half of the plastic surgeons surveyed said they’d treated high school age patients receiving gift certificates for their services.


Some folks just don't get it. The mom (and I use that word loosely in this case) in the op...Botox Mom...is an moron. And don't even let me get started on the whole "kiddie pageant" nonsense.





windchymes -> RE: Botox pageant Mom investigated (5/13/2011 9:38:38 PM)

It has reached ridiculous proportions. A girl, well, 26 year old woman, that I work with is distressed because she claims her "underarms have darkened". Seems she read something about that happening, and now she wants to get them lightened cosmetically. The ironic thing is, she's a very dark-skinned African. Luckily, we're very good friends, so I was able to give her a "look" and say, "Seriously, no one cares what color your armpits are!"

'HEYA LOOKIE WHAT MY GENES CAN DO! ARN'T I GREAT!?'

Poor self-image spreads memetically as well.




LadyConstanze -> RE: Botox pageant Mom investigated (5/14/2011 1:49:03 AM)

I find the child beauty pageants horrendous and Botox for an 8 year old child is just freaking nuts, somebody should slap the "mom" around, but am I the only one who finds it a bit "strange" that the blonde reporter has a frozen Botox face?

Admitted, I have no kids, but am I the only one who worries about the over-sexualization of kids freaky? Not just beauty pageants, but the daughter of a friend is 11 and had a birthday recently, I thought I buy her some clothes, most of the clothes I found were more fit for the redlight district or a sleezy night club, the thing that freaked me out were push up bras for pre-pubescent girls. It would be nice if the kids could grow up and discover their own sexuality instead of being forced to be those sexualized being before they're ready.




GreedyTop -> RE: Botox pageant Mom investigated (5/14/2011 5:31:51 AM)

I agree, LadyC..


and wtf is an 8 yr old doing worrying about WRINKLES???   Methinks the *ahem* MOTHER's neuroses are being projected onto the child....




LaTigresse -> RE: Botox pageant Mom investigated (5/14/2011 7:35:13 AM)

I am SO GLAD the woman is feeling some heat.

I fucking hate children's beauty pageants hate hate HATE. What this woman, and many like her, do to children for these pageants is child abuse, pure and simple.




pahunkboy -> RE: Botox pageant Mom investigated (5/14/2011 7:40:56 AM)

Next week, they both go in for a lobotomy. 




gothikbutterfly -> RE: Botox pageant Mom investigated (5/14/2011 7:47:39 AM)

That is utterly ABHORRENT! I don't know what to say other than that, and for someone who has A LOT to say, that's how you know something is WRONG.

You should have stayed up late and watched the re-run of the  "Purgatory" episode of South Park with Me last night. 




littlewonder -> RE: Botox pageant Mom investigated (5/14/2011 9:19:32 AM)

Having a daughter who is now an adult and hearing about this woman giving her kid botox just made me go "WTF???"

Now I admit that I told mine that when she turned 18 and if she wanted a boob redux I'd more than support  her the whole way because I grew up with with that problem and had a redux when I was older. I didn't want her going through the same pain. She  opted out because she likes her size lol....but this whole botox at 8?? That mother is fucking out of her mind.

I watched the interview with the mother and daughter and I felt so sorry for the little girl. She kept looking to mom and was afraid to give any answers at all. I think she's afraid of her mom to be honest. The mother kept saying because she's a cosmetologist she knows what she's doing and it's perfectly safe. EEErrrr...I think every dr out there would vehemently disagree with her.

Unfortunately I know other mothers out there who think like that woman and it just shocks me every single time. I just don't get it. You know it's not the ideas of these little girls to get all this crap done to them.

Let these little girls be just that...little girls. Why the hurry to make them mini women??

No. It's a ton of stuff. Kid pageants, olympic gymnastics and figure skating (notice how the girls in both sports tend to be 5 or 10 years younger than the men) all trouble me.

OK, but those are all not really "normal" situations, a normal situation is going into a department store and trying to find clothes for a pre-teen and you see push up bras for girls who have not even started to develop breasts, then clothes that are clearly super sexual. What worries me about it is that there MUST be a market for it because the manufacturers wouldn't make it if parents wouldn't buy it.

I remember when I was a topless dancer who wore a 32 AA bra. Some of the customers suggested I get a boob job, but I liked me just the way I was & had no desire to have silicone tits. I used to wish I had big tits like my mom & my sister, but I didn't want them badly enough to have the surgery. Now that I wear a 46DD bra, I'm really really glad!!! Can anyone imagine what those implants would be like now???

When my daughter was about 4 months old, she was sitting on the ground & as I reached down to pick her up, I noticed that my baby had this normal size torso & legs that went on forever. I knew she was going to be taller than I. So right then I started telling her how wonderful it is to be tall & how much I wished that I could be taller. I would point out tall women & say how beautiful they were because they were tall. My mother was nearly as tall as my daughter ended up being--6 feet--and she hated her height. My daughter loves being taller than most other women, she's a beautiful, confident woman. I thank God that I had the intelligence to help her to see herself that way.

Another story about her: I was a really good dancer & when she was small, she used to put on music & have me watch her dance. The poor child was awkward & had no rhythm. She could sing like an angel, however. But I would praise her dancing, telling her how well she danced, etc. When it was time for high school, she was accepted to the high school for the performing arts in our city, as a singer. But the high school was famous for their dance program; the Jefferson Dancers performed for the Presidents of the United States. Her friends were dancers & she became interested in dance. So she took classes & was accepted into the African Dance Troupe. Had I told her the truth about her abilities as a dancer when she was a child, she never would have experienced that joy. And once she grew into those legs, she really was a good dancer!!!
