Botox...for kids...

in September 2010 Weddings

So I heard this on the news morning and was perplexed. Okay I get that you want your child to do well in pageants but to give her botox to get rid of her dimple/laugh line/wrinkle is ridiculous.

So here's the article if anyone wants to read it.

What are your thoughts on this?

Edit: I didn't realize how uninformative this article was since it went into way more depth this morning on the show.

    Personally I hate girls in pageants. Especially at like 1,2 and 3 when they have no choice. If E wanted to give it a whirl at like 7 or 8 then ya I'd let her try it but I wouldn't give her extensions or botox or spend $800 on a dress and get her a personal trainer. It's beyond rediculous they are kids not dolls and puppets. End rant.

    I couln't agree more Jessie and Xtine. If I have a little girl and I put her in a pageant then it'll be a natural one without all the make up, extensions, etc. I think they've taken the pageant world to a whole new level of extreme.

    One more vote for what Jessi said. 

    I liked the Sunshine movie ::drawing a blank on the name of the title:: with Abagail Breslin.  She wasn't like all the other girls in the pagent, she was herself.  That is the most important thing we can teach young girls.

    Ditto Jessie too!

    And the movie was Little Miss Sunshine.  Great flick.
