With a daughter on the way, I thought I should do my research on having a little "princess" since everyone who knows me knows that Murphy's Law will dictate that a Tomboy mom is destined to have a pink-wearing, glitter-loving, girly-girl princess. So, I caught a lovely documentary the other night peeking into the lives of the pre-teen pageant tour. My reaction - Holy crap! Really? Tanning, fake teeth, hair pieces, $2000 dresses, sexy bathing suit poses and all for kids under the age of 6! While I never want to deny my child an experience if she has her heart set on it, I am thinking I might want to never ever let her see anything to do with pageants!! WOW!

omg! really! tanning! yowza! mini me loves glitter and dresses and all that jazz, but she would rather be in the dojo, practicing for her karate tournament (with a kick ass pink shirt under her gi.) the good news is that nowadays we can be girly girls while packing mules. Even fishing lures are full of glitzy bling! yay for fabulously rustic women!
