What To Expect From Glitz Beauty Pageants

By Rena Hudson


Glitz beauty pageants are popular all over the United States. They are not like the natural beauty pageants, in the glitz pageants the young girls wear a lot of make-up, they have spray tans, fake eyelashes and fake teeth. The fake teeth are called flippers and give the young girl a beautiful smile.

When the girls finally get all the fake pieces put on they look like little adults. It is not uncommon for parents to put colored contacts on their children before they go on stage. The contestants usually range from babies to five year old. Since the contestants are so young they do not have very good vocabulary skills so the pageant is based solely on their outer beauty.

Dresses worn in these events are cupcake style dresses. This is a type of dress that is several inches above the knee and has a lot of lace layers that make the dress stick out from the body. The dresses are also bedazzled with hundreds of stones and gems. The contestants have to learn to walk with their arms held out away from the body because of the shape of the dress.

The contestants also have to learn to use very exaggerated expressions. There is a lot of eyelash batting, head tilting, and kiss blowing. Children that do not enjoy dressing up and being the center of attention will not do very well in this type of event.

This is a type of event for girls that like to be in the center of attention and dress up. They give out a lot of different prizes at these events and the crowns are rather large. The crowns are so big they do not even fit the girls heads. The trophies stand twice as tall as the girls. If you are interested in these pageants they are easy to find.

However, you may want to make sure you child can sit still long enough to have all the makeup, eyelashes, and hair pieces put on. These pageants are also very expensive. Most of the dresses you see in a glitz pageant cost over a thousand dollars. Some even cost two or three thousand.

These events are completely different than a natural pageant. Some children that have been in these events find it hard to transition into natural pageants because they are so different. The children love to dress up and strut across the stage in front of the crowds but the mothers of these contestants can become very competitive.

You have to remember to just have fun. You may be upset if your child does not win, but it is important to teach your children that it is not always about winning but about doing your very best. Some of the contestants have been doing these events since they learned to walk.

Some of the contestants even have their own pageant coaches so they have a better chance of winning the glitz beauty pageants. Some parents fork out thousands of dollars each year on coaches and dresses plus the money they spend traveling around the country to the different events.
