Everybody should watch the movie called Little Miss Sunshine. I just did, and if was fantastic. I can understand why is it is in the top 10 movies of 2006. It was really funny (and strange) but the story behind it was really beautiful….(about a little girl and her family that travel cross country to get to a beauty pageant so that she can compete and the trouble that they go to get there.)
I have never been in a beauty pageant (that I know of) but it is enough to put me off them for little kids. Make-up on really young children is kind of tacky. I can understand dress-ups, with a bit of makeup, but beauty pageants are outrageous. I kind of feel the same about cute baby pageants. Because all babies are cute in their own way…and it seems so harsh (I suppose the babies don`t know it though) that you can judge one baby over the other.
Maybe I would feel different if I had been in one and liked it, but this is my opinion from watching movies and TV and from what I have heard. I am very informed on the issue…haha.
But yeah, public service announcement, see the movie!!

I am just a twenty something Aussie girl living in Chiba, Japan with my Japanese husband trying to make sense of the crazy Japanese world we live in! We welcomed our first son in December 2009 (Noah) and a second son in January 2011, 2 months premature (Shion). I am working hard at raising them to be confident, bilingual, happy kids!
I loved it too! It was so cute and quirky.
one of my favourite movies this year – I laughed most of the way through it!
Oh god, beauty pageants are so…disgusting. I don’t even know where to start….
But I love the movie Little Miss Sunshine, it’s great!
I saw it and I loved it!
I did think it overcheese a lil at the end of the stage bit (trying not to make spoilers!) but I had tears streaming down my face!
(PS – my dad won a ‘beautiful baby’ contest when he was younger – though he came from from Queanbeyan (jus realised proddly no one will get the relevance of that…))
It was surprisingly good. I really totally liked it.
