I thought after all the supportive responses to my horror at the Australian introduction of child beauty pageants, this lovely little thought and image would be timely to share. It was quite a rant, but I see from all your comments, you agree with me that these pageants are not in any way positive for growing and impressionable little girls.
What we should be teaching our girls is just as it says above, finding ways to ensure they know that true and lasting beauty comes from the heart, soul, giving, laughing, sharing, loving and learning. Every girl, and indeed every young woman and woman, is beautiful in their own right, not for the way they look or what they wear. They are beautiful just because they exist.
This cute little print is by Etsy Seller SugarLoo, but is unfortunately no longer available for purchase.

Hi JoGirl – Thanks! I love Fat Mum Slim so it's lovely to know you found me via her great blog.
I am amazed to find that Sugarloo no longer appears to be on Etsy selling her prints. When I posted just the other day the link was fine and it lead straight to this print and others of hers. Now she appears to not be there at all – this print included. So sorry I couldn't help more but thank you for alerting me to the broken link.
Looking forward to checking out your own site and blog.
