Beauty pageant of UK – 3 to 13-year old girls will walk the ramp

3-year old Lexci is excited – she is one of the contestants in the 1st ever beauty pageant for under teen girls, the Miss Mini Princess UK contest scheduled next month. This information has been taken from the Dailymail of 12th April 2012.

She would be one of a100 British girls who would do the catwalk wearing high heels and bikini style 2-piece in Leicester. The pageant is modeled upon similar American style beauty pageants targeted at such young girls.

Like ‘the Toddlers & Tiaras’ American reality TV series.

The various categories would be – ‘Baby Princess’ for children below 12 months and ‘Tiny Princess’ for one-year olds.

The ‘Little Princess’ would be for 2 and 3-year olds – here the contestants would be judged on their physical beauty, the eye-catching outfit, talent in dancing and her poise in an elegant evening dress!!

This pageant has generated plenty of criticism but the mothers are not perturbed – they are spending huge amounts of money to upgrade the wardrobes of their children.

One gets a feeling that they probably want to see fulfillment of their own unfulfilled dreams through their own children.
