Baby Spice: Six-Year-Olds Tarted Up for "Little Beauties"
Tuesday November 6, 2007
There was a recent outcry against a 12-year-old runway model in Australia. Many argue that she's too young to be sexualized in that way.
Well, she could be collecting Social Security checks compared to the Little Beauties, a group of six-year-old girls featured in a one-hour documentary that takes a "light-hearted" look at children's beauty pageants.
Scheduled for broadcast on VH-1 on Sunday, November 18, the promo stills for the show look more like Bratz dolls come to life than real honest-to-goodness children.
How low can we go? It appears we're in freefall when it comes to sexualizing our daughters, and it's scary to think what rock bottom may look like.

Wow this is horrific. Something absolutely needs to be done. We (as a society but especially women) need to stop perpetuating this image. No more bratz dolls.
yeah, i agree they should get rid of the bratz dolls and give a better example for these six year olds. these little girls should not be put up to this..
