I swear I said to myself that I was witnessing child abuse and there were people PAYING to encourage it instead of doing it as a news special report, which it should be.

I think that you've made some excellent points. Those little girls look like little models.

If they want to have contests, at least let them be their natural selves. I have never liked any kind of contests of this sort, to be honest. All children are cute in their own way and I hate to see one singled out over all the others.

I believe beauty comes from within, if you're not pretty i.e. respectful, caring, loving and giving from within, the outer appearance won't help a bit.Traci~Moon Gypsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01038215074890522885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-858143791835649382.post-18584525455086305852012-03-01T06:57:08.709-07:002012-03-01T06:57:08.709-07:00I don't think the "cutest baby" cont...I don't think the "cutest baby" contests are so bad.Tami AKA My Kid's Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17310459819678664311noreply@blogger.com
