I never understand these types of mothers who teach their kids all the wrong principles at a pretty early age. The woman we’re going to discuss today, who is 29 years old, is no angel either; she spends approximately $700 every month to transform her 10-year-old daughter into a Barbie doll for beauty pageant.

The daughter gets spray tans, hair extensions, has makeup on like crazy and both fake nails and eyelashes. I‘m in my early twenties and don’t do half of those things. How can it be okay for a girl to be exposed to all of this since she was seven?!

Her mom proudly says that her daughter wears more make-up than her on a night out.
“Sometimes she gets spray tans, sometimes I do it myself – depending on what I can afford. We don’t go to a pageant without tan on – it’s not worth doing. She loves it and I love it – we’re completely hooked now.” Says the mother.

Oh, and I forgot to tell you that the kid’s name is Barbie.
