What's the price of beauty?
Pageant moms are a unique type of parent, and in the upcoming episode of Toddlers & Tiaras one overbearing mom admits that she spent a whopping $30,000 on her little girl’s competitions!
“Both Carley and I take pageants very seriously,” Melissa said in the sneak peek of the controversial show obtained by RadarOnline.com.
“In the past year I’ve probably spent $30,000 on pageants,” she admits about the astronomical amount she shelled out for her daughter to try and win the crown.
“Carley is as close to an exact replica of me as there could ever be. I feel like her and I are the same person. We live the same life, we are best friends and I just feel like that is me on stage.”

When Melissa has to reprimand her daughter though for sassing her on national television, it’s hard to tell who is scolding who.
“You are driving me crazy!” Carley snaps at her mom.

Exploiting your children gets pricey.

Why are these pageant moms allowed custody of their children? The children need to be in a normal home and the mothers need intensive in-house psychiatric treatment.

It's to be expected, she's most likely a huge fan and follower of Nancy Disgraces and therefore, just another irrational, emotional, mental midget!

That's kind of a stretch isn't it- or are you just playing silly troll games?
And no, I'm not a fan of that angry hag Nancy or these ridiculous pageants.

Well mom is obviously a nut case but if she promised not to talk I'd do her
