That second shot of you is so cute!<br /><br />As for T&T...I have some pretty strong opinions. The majority of those mothers (not all, mind you) are exploiting their children to make up for some odd void they feel in their lives. I think that sexualizing toddlers is highly immoral and dangerous. And to what end? None of the pageantry adds anything of value to their precious little lives that something like ballet, sports, or arts wouldn't. I just don't get it. Okay, I'm off my soapbox! lol!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12575342918642967577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2998405629356082628.post-53121146848032298212011-06-02T20:06:03.484-07:002011-06-02T20:06:03.484-07:00You are adorable!!

Having watched that show and also having had a friend put their daughter in modeling (same age as Bray and who actually has a super active acting/modeling career) I just dont know. I feel like modeling can be done tastefully, but that it rarely is, and that when you have to put makeup on children, and get them fake teeth and hair, it's gone way too far. Our beauty is on the inside, not on the out, and no matter what the extreme, I feel like even if you do modeling and pagents very carefully its a super thin line to cross with children and letting them know where their true beauty lies. I think it's also really easy for parents to compromise their beliefs in that industry and take it too far. They may start out doing it just for fun, with the opinion of not allowing makeup and stuff, but if their kid is good at it, I can see (and have seen) them allow more things to fly. I don't shop at stores like Victoria's Secret, Abercrombie, or Hollister anymore for the same reasons. We're allowing and promoting a culture that sells beauty. I'd rather have my kids judged on a good science project, on memorizing their Bible verses, and mastering a sport. Just my 2 cents...time a billion ;)The Kincaid Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12876652187393915977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2998405629356082628.post-41926846955000449322011-06-02T14:45:50.657-07:002011-06-02T14:45:50.657-07:00Your outfit is so cute!

It's true there are so many influences against our self-esteem it's good to counteract every negative lie with 5 positive truths as you said! We need all the reminders we can get. As for the T&T pageant, I haven't watched it but from what you described, it sounds sad. Poor little toddlers don't belong in a pageant! They need to run about freely and be embraced for who they are - not forced to perform like that.Jinniahttp://jinnialow.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2998405629356082628.post-25375384574169369912011-06-02T12:40:35.732-07:002011-06-02T12:40:35.732-07:00I LOVE that skirt--it's so fresh and summery!I LOVE that skirt--it's so fresh and summery!L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09355017319970816074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2998405629356082628.post-51230606524772744272011-06-02T12:02:00.758-07:002011-06-02T12:02:00.758-07:00That's such a great color for you!

When I first saw this post my hubby was with me and he was wearing a similar green polo shirt with black stripes, I told him we should mail it your hubby so he can coordinate with your outfit. lol<br /><br />I saw the previews for the show you saw...I don't understand how they can put their little girls threw so much at such a young age.

There are so many things that are not right about it, and I really think that its borderline to child abuse.
