Sasha 11 year old beauty queen

Saw this last night, I know its been on before.

I felt sorry for the girl. I don't think she was as into those beauty pageants as her mum was making out. Her mum wanted it more than her daughter and it seemed to me the mum was trying to relive her life through her daughter.
she told her daughter to smile in the car or else she was grounded.

Poor child looked really miserable. Oh and when asked describe yourself in 3 words, 'blonde, pretty and dumb' she said.

Sorry if this has been posted before.

i also watched it last night and felt sorry for the girl, bleached hair and make up, when they asked the mother about her hair she said that sasha liked it and could change it whenever she wanted, but the girl said she didnt like it, and also when the model agency said she is 11 years old and should look like an behave like an 11 year old.i dont think mum was impressed. looking at the american girls i was quite surprised, some of them could have passed for being in their 20's, a real shame.

I agree. Horrible to try and live your dreams through your child.. and what was all the nonsense about getting her to perform the dance routine in public. The father should have told his wife to stop. Poor girl.

Didn't see the programme, but I was on holiday in Orlando in Nov '03 and it was Thanksgiving weekend. Unbeknown to us, the hotel was hosting a beauty pageant for girls aged 6 to 16 (several age groups) and this was the national finals or something. All the girls wore their tiaras 'all the time', carried little about 10" cube clear plastic 'handbags' and all were heavily made up. All had a mother and most a grandma in tow (both with rosettes with their daughters picture on them pinned to thier coat)(no men in sight and only a few bored brothers) and all, except two, were extremely rude, precocious and barged in front of you to get in the lift full of their own importance! I have never seen such a load of sad individuals in my life.
