Tuesday Night: A "Special" Time in the Ashleyverse

Well, it's Tuesday, which is a "special" day in the Ashleyverse. Tonight is Toddlers and Tiaras night. Toddlers and Tiaras is a reality TV series on TLC-- and my latest guilty pleasure. The show is about families who live life on the child beauty pageant circuit. I think part of the show's appeal for me is that I grew up in the Deep South, which is kiddie pageant central. I was never in pageants (thank God!), but they're huge down there. I don't think that the pageants are necessarily bad, but I do find that creatures known as "pageant moms," who subject their daughters to "glitz pageants," to be highly disturbing(ed) individuals.
