Child beauty pageant

A child beauty pageant is a beauty contest featuring contestants under 16 years of age. Competition categories may include talent, interview, sportswear, casual wear, swim wear, western wear, theme wear, outfit of choice, decade wear, and evening wear. Depending on the type of pageant system (glitz/natural), contestants may be found wearing makeup to fake teeth, known as flippers, as well as elaborate hairstyles and custom, designed and fitted, outfits to present their routines on stage.
==History==

Beauty pageants started in 1921 when the owner of an Atlantic City hotel struck upon the idea to help boost tourism.〔(Pageant Center ). Pageant Center 2008. 13-10-2008〕 However, that idea had already circulated through "''Most Beautiful Child''" contests held in major cities across the country. The Little Miss America pageant began in the 1960s at Palisades Amusement Park in New Jersey. Originally, it was for teenagers from 13 to 17 years old, but by 1964 there were over 35,000 participants, which prompted an age division.〔Gargiulo, Vince. Palisades Amusement Park: A Century of Fond Memories. Lulu.com, 2006.〕 The modern child beauty pageant emerged in the early 1960s, held in Miami, Florida. Since then, the industry has grown to include about 250,000 pageants. It is an increasingly lucrative business, bringing in about twenty billion dollars a year to the Americas with its popularity spreading worldwide.〔
It has grown from the senior beauty pageants, previously originating from South America, in particular in Venezuela, to become an event held throughout the world for young boys and girls, with an emphasis on competitions being popularized by mainstream media in the United States, to much criticism.
The murder of JonBenét Ramsey in late 1996 turned the public spotlight onto child beauty pageants. Critics began to question the ethics of parents who would present their child in a way that was perhaps not suitable for their age. In 2001, American Network HBO aired its Emmy-winning ''Living Dolls: The Making of a Child Beauty Queen'', which garnered much attention. Additionally, TLC, also an American network, has created shows such as ''Toddlers & Tiaras'' and ''King of the Crown'', the former dedicated to the world of high glitz child pageantry and the latter to the world of pageant coaching.
