Children's beauty pageants originated in the United States in the 60s. Over more than 50 years, about 250 thousand have been held - Miss America, Miss State, Miss City.

The publication told about what the small participants had to go to in order to win. Snob.

At first, the age of participants was limited - no less than 13 years, but later the age range was expanded.

For example, Savannah Jackson from Michigan participated in beauty contests with 10 months. Her mother, Lauren, spent about $ 5 thousand to prepare for each competition. The money was spent on tanning, professional cosmetics and the payment for the services of a trainer who taught the child to properly pose and walk on the runway.

“I never thought about plastic surgery or Botox — Savannah already has more makeup than I do,” said Loren.

But San Francisco cosmetologist Kerry Campbell regularly pricked his 8-year-old daughter Britney's Botox to increase her chances of winning. In her opinion, the procedure was absolutely harmless, and the child lost wrinkles.

“Everyone does it. We are not doing anything illegal,” the mother believed. However, social security became interested in the girl’s fate, and she was later taken away from Kerry.

Participant in children's beauty contests Brooke Bradwell admitted to 22 that she hated makeup, artificial teeth, hairspray, and especially tanning beds.

“All I wanted to do when I was 5 years old was play outside with my friends and dig for worms in the dirt. But my mother insisted that I need to prepare for competitions every day. Competitions have brought a lot of anxiety and stress into my life. Now I feel the need to be perfect in everything, but I know that this is impossible,” the woman admitted.

American Lindsay Jackson almost lost her daughter because of participation in competitions: she laid a false breast and buttocks under 4-year-old Maddy’s clothes, because of which they tried to take care of the woman.

Six-year-old Alana Thompson became a real star with her own reality show, “Pretty Boo Boo.” Her mother, June, confessed that she was giving her obese daughter a drink. Go-go juice - a mixture of energy Mountain Dew and Red Bullso that the girl is more energetic and lose weight due to physical activity.

The show was taken off the air after June, in 2014, began dating a man who had served a sentence for pedophilia. Now Alana's 11-year-old from time to time comes into the view of the media, but she was never able to lose weight.

The most famous American mini-beauty is Eden Wood. By the age of 6, she already had more than 300 different awards and titles. According to Miridei, by the 9 years she had already undergone plastic surgery, although the girl’s mother denies this fact.

Candid outfits, adult make-up and false dental plates, so that the lost baby tooth does not spoil the appearance, - all this was used by the organizers of the TV show about the lives of young participants in beauty contests. Toddlers & Tiaras. The show was broadcast from 2009 to 2016 year and criticized around the world. For example, in 2011, residents of Melbourne held a protest in front of the building where the qualifying round took place Toddlers & Tiaras.

Since the competition does not fall under any of the laws on child labor, its conduct is almost not regulated by social services. To shine on stage, girls need to sit out for a few hours in the chair of make-up artists, while they impose a huge amount of cosmetics on them. Often the kids can not withstand such stress and make tantrums. But parents, who faithfully believe in the victory of their children, do not pay any attention to this.

Today's beauty contests are not girls with pigtails and bows in cute dresses. Parents do everything to make children look older - they dress in overt dresses, use tons of cosmetics, false curls, self-tanning, and if a child has a baby tooth, they are forced to wear plates. Children are even put on a hard diet - because often at competitions it is necessary to pose in bathing suits, writes Miridei.

Children are taught to smile unnatural and dead smile. Sometimes it is even not clear who is in front of you - a girl or a dwarf.
