I haven't seen this show, but I saw a documentary about these little kid pageants a few years back. It was one of the most disturbing things I have ever seen. The kids are like 5-10 years old and they dress them up and cake on the make-up and tease out the hair. So they have these little kid bodies, but with all the make-up and hair they have faces that look a lot older, but don't look right. To me they all looked like midget trannies. There was one woman who bankrupted her family so she could pay for the coaches and clothes and travel to get her little daughter through the pageant circuit and the girl clearly didn't want to do it. Meanwhile her teenage son is at home feeling abandoned because his mom works two jobs, but the are dead broke so she can drop a grand on a dress, 1500 on dance lessons and be gone every weekend. He ended up getting high and getting arrested and the mom couldn't figure out why.
