Tiara Girls: Making Good Shows From Bad Ideas

Tiara Girls is an excellent show on MTV that follows the lives of potential beauty queens and the backstage madness of the pageants. Although Tiara Girls is a quality program, there is a universal truth that it most undeniably proves: Beauty Pageants should be illegal. There, I said it. Is there one, single quality to them that could be considered either a) socially redeemable or, b) anything but destructive to the psyche of an adolescent girl? I can't think of any. The only reason beauty pageants even exist is to let unhappy, unfulfilled mothers live vicariously through their daughters. It's kind of awful.
