Why are little girls made to wear heavy makeup, poofy hair, and tacky-looking dresses in beauty pageants?

The term ';beauty pageant'; becomes a misnomer when little girls are made to wear makeup, poofy hair, and tacky-looking dresses. After all, children are naturally beautiful, and the main reason why makeup exists is so that adults can hide the flaws that come about through puberty or aging, which are two things that these little girls still have yet to contend with. Not only that, but the heavy makeup and outrageous dresses make the girls look like clowns.Why are little girls made to wear heavy makeup, poofy hair, and tacky-looking dresses in beauty pageants?
I think the wearing of makeup is mostly to do with the competition for sexual partners. Good skin complexion is a sign of good health and fertility. Ok, there is no problem allowing teens to do so as they are starting to look for lovers, but kids shouldnt be allowed and particularly forcing them to wear it for pageants is sick and suggestive.





Traditionally, in a beauty contest [over 18s], the winner is essentially deemed to be the most sexually desirable [even if personality comes into it] by the judges. That is why kids should not be allowed participate.Why are little girls made to wear heavy makeup, poofy hair, and tacky-looking dresses in beauty pageants?
It is a form of child abuse and I would like the girls to be treated better than this
I've pondered this before and paedophilia is the only logical explanation here I'm afraid. I think it's a weird scene overall.
good question! sorry i don't have the answer but i think it is totally disgusting! children have natural beauty and don't need all of that crap! i would never subject my daughters to pageants
Because their parents hate them.
How else are pedophiles supposed to get their jollies?
