This girl would be adorable with no makeup.....just what a 5 year old should be--ADORABLE!
I was reading this weeks issue of People Magazine and was appalled at what I saw!
I cannot believe that this show is being aired on television, much less The Learning Channel!! I am not opposed to beauty pageants, I am opposed to how far these parents take it. These little girls are dressing up like 25 year old prostitutes!! Yes, I mean literally. I love the movie Pretty Woman, but come on!! This next video is THE most appalling video of all in my eyes. Just plain sick, twisted and TOO far!!!
I wonder what would possess a parent to push their children into this sort of activity instead of ballet, dance or the many other child oriented sports/activities out there? Every child should know that beauty starts from within, not encouraged to change their appearance in order to be beautiful. If your child likes to play dress up and wear makeup, why not acting lessons? I just think this show sends the wrong message to our youth, and that being a young woman in a shallow world is tough enough already without fake tans and false lashes at 5 in order to be pretty. I think that these parents are trying to live through their children!! Their children are little pawns. I've seen it all, from mothers SCREAMING at their kids, to waxing their 4 year old!
Take a look at the little girl who's mom does her makeup so she can be pretty for her mom. And before you say it's for the fun of it, does this look fun to you?
Where is the line drawn here? I mean what happened to the olden day beauty pageants? You know, the curls and the ruffles and the cute little poems? I say keep them young, pure and care free like a child should be. Let them be kids. I personally think that every child is beautiful, more so when they are their silly little selves; Au natural!
I just thought I'd share this breath taking performance from last nights America's Got Talent in case anyone missed it!! The Silhouettes are a group of 42 performers from 3 to 19 years old who have been trained in every style of dance along with acting and more! A-M-A-Z-I-N-G is all I have to say!
Take a look at last night's performance:
Their Audition dance:
Amazing is an understatement! What training, what coordination, what a performance! Thanks Rocky Mountain Silhouettes for the enjoyable performance that left my husband and I with goose bumps and extremely proud to be American!!!
Yesterday Casey Anthony was acquitted of the charges of killing her daughter Caylee Anthony, back in 2008.
Juror # 1 is a white woman in her 60’s, values life and is for the death penalty.
Juror # 2 an African American male in his mid 30’s opposed to the death penalty with very little prior knowledge of the case.
Juror #3 is a white female who lives with her mother, and aspiring to be an RN.
Juror# 4 African American female approximately 40 years old doesn’t watch the news and has no opinion on the death penalty.
Juror# 5 is a white female mid 60’s, 11th grade education and history of drug and alcohol abuse in her family.
Juror # 6 is a 32-year-old college graduate who’s traveled a lot in his career.
Juror # 7 is a white female age 41 with 3 years of college with a major in sociology and a mother who is a lawyer.
Juror # 8 is a white female in her 50’s, a former manager for Verizon with a moderate opinion of the death penalty.
Juror #9 is a white man, age 53 single, and leans more towards pro death penalty.
Juror #10 is a white man age 57, also works for Verizon with very little prior knowledge of the case.
Juror # 11 is a white male, mid 30’s, a teacher and said it would be hard for him to vote for death, he considers himself to be a fair man.
Juror # 12 is a white female in her 30’s who is strongly in favor of the death penalty; she worked at a daycare and thinks that first-degree murder of a child should end in the death penalty.
As you can see, the jurors came from all walks of life, different ages, different backgrounds, and different careers; in fact, 6 of the 12 jurors have children of their own!! I thought I would put forth a little background of each juror to pacify those criticizing the jury for their decision.
The fact is, jurors had Casey’s fate in the palm of their hands, they were not exposed to anything except the facts presented to them in the court of law. There was no Nancy Grace, no outside media interference at all, just cold hard facts and evidence all circumstantial. How can anyone doubt these people, when you are on the outside looking in? Sure the trial was televised, but we also had Nancy Grace screaming kill her in the background, read books and gossiped about it for months not to mention buried our emotions in this case. The jurors are to look at evidence presented to them in the court of law, not their emotions for a verdict. Perhaps they should have chosen a lesser sentence at first, maybe extreme child abuse since she did wait over a month to report her daughter missing, or went on evidence they did have before jumping in and running for the death penalty without physical proof, but the jurors can’t choose her charges, just give a verdict. ANYTHING could have happened with all the lies being told, I’ve heard several different scenarios that make complete sense. What if someone else was involved or she just knew about it? Some of the circumstantial evidence simply doesn’t add up, and fact is guilt must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt to charge someone in order for JUSTICE to be served.
For the record, I am angered that she got off so easily. I think this young lady did it or had something to do with her child’s murder, that even if she didn’t do it she should be in prison for a VERY long time, and counseling for her actions. She went out and PARTIED after her child was found. :/ I personally think Casey’s father George Anthony was involved. First off, he tried committing suicide, then, Caylee’s body was found beneath a heavy white board, which, as the defense pointed out, would have taken a full-grown man to lift, almost impossible for a 110 lb. Woman. On top of that, original pictures of the crime scene did not reveal the white board. It turned up after Casey Anthony was already in jail. Who knows with all of the lies? I’m sorry for speculating, but that’s all anyone on the outside can do!!!
It kills me to see children tossed out like a piece of trash, instead of treated like the precious treasures they are; especially when other women and I cannot conceive. Caylee could have found the cure for cancer, could have become president; the possibilities are absolutely endless!!
Rest in Peace miss Caylee Anthony, may you fly with the angels and know that in the end, justice WILL be served.
Since when is a criminal a celebrity? I wonder how Mary Jo and her family feels every time they pass that channel and see her face? I am sure they are just as appalled as I am! It is sick what the media will do to make money. As for myself I remember the "real" Amy fisher.
Amy fisher became known as "the Long Island Lolita" by the media in 1992, when, she shot and severely wounded Mary Jo Buttafuoco, the wife of her lover Joey Buttafuoco. At first, she was charged with first-degree attempted murder, but she eventually pleaded guilty to first-degree aggravated assault and spent 6 years in prison.
