So do I, but it isn't as inappropriate as, say, letting little girls wear makeup or sexy clothes offstage (ie, elsewhere than the pageant).
We must remember that Patsy Ramsey herself was once a contestant, and she was familiar with the pageant scene; it's understandable that she didn't see anything wrong with it, and indeed considered it a respectable pursuit. I find it hard to fault her for it, though I would never do likewise.
And when some people cite the pageant life as evidence that Patsy murdered her own child, they're letting their bias override their reason.
I can't say that I think Patsy Ramsey had anything to do with Jon Benet's death...
But I do find it horribly unusual that the murder was obviously sexually based ... and little Jon Benet was often portrayed in very suggestive clothing...
I realize there is a pageant "culture" .. and Patsy would not have seen anything wrong with it. Nonetheless - I have problems with the entire "baby" pageant thing.
