The cult MTV hit Tiara Girls spurned a loyal following and inspired debate about the expansive beauty pageant industry. Showing a number of points of view on pageants and a variety of the girls involved, Tiara Girls was and is dynamic, engrossing television.
One of the ladies featured on Tiara Girls was April Crockett and she took the time to stop by and talk to us here at BuddyTV about the show. We discussed how she got involved in Tiara Girls, the misleading editing employed by the show's producers, and what April's advice would be to girls who want to compete in pageants.
How did you initially get involved with Tiara Girls and what made you want to do it in the first place?

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.
