Isn't that a bit extreme? I don't like child beauty pageants but some kids legitimately enjoy performing in them for the fun of it. Doesn't seem very fair to me. I'm obviously not talking about the kids that are made to do it and to go tanning, etc but I think that is a bit ridiculous. Some kids enjoy putting on dresses and make-up, I don't see why it should be "banned" but I do think there is some major problems that come with it. I'd never put my kid in one ever but I think banning them is a little bit ridiculous.
