What are some good beauty tips/secrets?

Opinions needed from pro-beauty pageants for children or mothers who enter their children in pageants?

• Hello, i am doing a project for my world history class about a controversial issue. I chose children's beauty pageants and i thought it would be a good idea to interview a person from each side of the argument. I've emailed a handful of beauty pageant agencies for one, but no one has emailed me back. I would love it if anyone on this site who is a mother/father of a child who is active in children's beauty pageants to answer my questions, so that i can present an unbiased project. If you would please leave your full name, and thank you so much for helping me!! 1.] Have you ever/do you plan to ever enter your child in a beauty pageant and why? 2.] If so, whose idea was it? Yours, your child’s, or was it mutual? 3.] What are the most positive things that you and your family have experienced from beauty pageants? Have there been any negative impacts? 4.] How much time and/or money do you invest into your child’s beauty pageants, and why do you think it is worth it? 5.] What would you say to someone who is against entering children in beauty pageants? How do you feel about the fact that some people go so far as to say that it can be abusive towards the child? 6.] Would you rather enter your child in a “glitz” pageant, or a “natural” pageant? And why? 7.] How have beauty pageants helped your child’s self esteem? How have they hurt it?
