Toddler does Dolly: Where’s the line between dress-up, hyper-sexualization? Where did this anti-pageant momentum come from on the part of the French? Some lawmakers point to a controversial photo spread in Vogue back in 2010, featuring a girl as young as 10 in high heels and sexy makeup. The Senate in France voted to ban child beauty pageants for kids under the age of 16 and now the measure goes to the country’s lower house for debate and a vote. If French lawmakers get their way, there would be no French version of “Toddlers & Tiaras” and no French “Honey Boo Boo,” referring to another child pageant reality star. But what if there were no pageants for kids to begin with? We don’t like the idea of these beauty contests for kids, but it seems we can’t pull ourselves away.
