Pageant Manatee Calls Daughter's Hooker Costume 'Comical'‎

[Honey]

Inappropriate: Wendy Dickey said the prostitute outfit she chose for her daughter, 3, was 'comical'

Toddlers and Tiaras begins yet another new season tonight, with a series sneak peek revealing more behind-the-scenes looks into the lives of pint-sized beauty queens.
The show has been on the receiving end of many a vociferous critic, with the apparent sexualisation of girls as young as three spawning a movement to end the TLC show.
Perhaps most famously scorned is the mother of Paisley Dickey, who dressed her three-year-old daughter in a badly-judged Pretty Woman outfit in one of last season's episodes.
Speaking with ABC's Good Morning America today, Wendy Dickey said that the outfit, complete with thigh-high black boots, mini dress and blonde wig, was far from sexy, but 'comical.'
'The outfit was not sexy, it was tacky and hideous. It was comical. Nothing more than a costume,' said the Georgia local.

She said that the avalanche of condemnation toward her triggered by the prostitute costume - mostly via online comments - was 'very hard' to deal with.
'The worst thing, you know, is that people could come on there anonymously and they were saying anything and everything,' she recalled.
While she told GMA that 'no woman in her right mind would try and sexualise her three-year-old daughter,' weeks later, she made the decision to dress Paisley as a biker babe for Halloween, attracting yet more criticism.


A look ahead: The new series sees Paisley Dickey, 3, left, dress as Lady Gaga and Lily-Ann Barrett, 5, right, in full pink regalia. The two will battle it out amid tears and tantrums, starting tonight on Toddlers and Tiaras

Despite this, she believes her action was 'blown... far out of proportion,' and called the backlash 'pretty crazy.'
Her defence comes at the same time as Radar reports that the pageant star may be in line to land her very own TV show, following on from her start at Toddler and Tiaras.
A source has told the site that 'Paisley and her mom are in the final stages of negotiations to star in a new reality show,' and that while 'not much can be said about the show yet, until she officially signs... everyone in her camp is really excited about it!'
The toddler's manager, Blake Woodruff, told radaronline.com that he sees a true star in the little girl.


Controversial: The show has come in for heavy criticism, with Wendy Dickey receiving flack for dressing daughter Paisley as a prostitute, and Maddy Jackson, right, raising eyebrows with fake breasts and bottom

'Paisley is a really talented little girl and she already has the drive she needs to succeed in this business,' he told the site. 'She’s going to be a superstar because she wants to be a superstar.'
As part of the build up for the new series, he said Paisley, who turns four next week, has been filming in London, taking dance lessons form a Broadway star and has even had catwalk coaching from a supermodel.
Mrs Dickey told the site: 'We were so excited to be filming in New York City. Blake set us up with so many exclusive opportunities. Paisley definitely felt like a little superstar, especially when she was being followed by the paparazzi in the Fashion District.'
Disappointed: One mother admits that she only wanted children so as to enter them into pageants

Another episode of the controversial show shocked audiences by featuring four-year-old Mt Juliet, Tennessee local, Maddy Jackson wearing fake C-cup breasts and bottom padding in a bizarre bid to imitate the famously buxom Dolly Parton.
Readers reacted venomously towards Maddy's mother, Lindsay Jackson, calling for the 'disgusting' child beauty pageant circuit to be 'outlawed.'
Tonight's season premier promises to offer some equally explosive insights into the eccentric tastes of the child beauty pageant world.
Three-foot tall girls are primped and preened for the stage, with hair extensions, make-up, fake tan and voluminous up-dos part and parcel of the spectacle.
The show sees the girls - or their mothers - compete to take home titles as well as substantial prize money.
Viewers will meet five-year-old Lily-Ann Barrett, six-year-old Casey Watkins, and Janine Browne with daughter Essence, who starred in a 2009 series of the show.
The preview shows one mother even admitting to cameras that she was upset when she had a son because she 'actually had the children so we could do the pageants.'

The new series of Toddlers and Tiaras begins tonight at 10pm on TLC.

This lady is full of shit. They say they aren't trying to sexualize their three year old daughters, but they're lying. I watched these women tell their girls to show their sexy dance or sexy face.

Toddlers & Tiaras' Paisley Dickey: From Hooker to Biker Chick!

November 2nd, 2011 12:36 PM by Free Britney

Toddlers and Tiaras star Paisley Dickey has done it again.
The three-year-old has done it again ... or her classy mom has, to put it more accurately. Famous for her Pretty Woman getup, Paisley's now going all biker chick on us.
Granted, it was Halloween, the one day each year where it's become somewhat socially acceptable to throw on one's skankiest outfit and parade around suggestively.
That assumes, of course, that one isn't THREE YEARS OLD.

Paisley's mother, Wendy Dickey, selected the finest little black mini dress and motorcycle boots for her toddler. The plus side? The hooker outfit was a little worse.
