Posted in: Eden's World, Recaps

Southern gentility at its finest.

Howdy, Gasmii! I’ve been enjoying all the Diamond Jubilee events the last couple of days.  Anyone for homemade scones with lemon curd?  ‘Cause that’s how I celebrated on Sunday. Little-known fact:  I am the rightful Queen of England.  If only those damned Tudors hadn’t stolen the crown from my ancestors.  Cheaters!!  So huzzah to the Queen but it should totes be me.  Of course I’m a lot younger so it wouldn’t be a Diamond Jubilee, just probably Wood or Paper or something.  But still . . .

Going from tasteful and regal to bottom-of-barrel scraping, Eden’s World is back from a week off, with (hopefully) the penultimate ep of this season.  And not a moment too soon!

This week the E-Team “coached” Isabelle, a 9-year-old in Paducah, KY.  We learned that Paducah is home of the National Quilt Museum, a skating rink and an Elks club.  I know where I’m headed on my next vacation!

We didn’t see that much of Isabelle or, for that matter, Eden.  What we did see was:

1.  Shparkle using the 3 curse words she knows in a series of drunken tirades;

2.  Both Shparkle and Heather showing a complete ignorance of how the entertainment business has worked since time immemorial;

3.  Eden auditioning models for her clothing line (?!?);

4.  Eden again showing us she can’t read;

5.  Andrew being a complete jackass.  No surprise there;

6.  Cutabitch maintaining her reputation for being an effing c; and,

7.  More marine biology lessons.

Plus a book signing that was apparently held in some parking structure lobby, and which was attended by absolutely no one.

We have so much to discuss in the full recap, don’t we?  I’ll have a full cap up in a couple of days.  Until then, what did you think of this week’s ep?  Anyone do as I did and just mute the whole damn thing?  Also anyone have any ideas how I can stage a coup in England and get the throne (and more to the point, the jewelry) for myself?

See you soon!

    Oh Penny how I ached for your scathing words on last nights epi !! The book signing was hilarious; perhaps, oh I don’t know, nobody gave a shit? I mean really, I would NEVER stand in line to get an autograph from a 7 year old. I don’t think it was Andrew’s fault, it was America. Wake up Spharkle, nobody cares!

    Heather is still an ass, only bigger, and Cutabitch is insane.

    I’ll be over PD for home made scones and lemon curd and we will discuss our plan to overthrow the Queen. Let’s take Camilla as well for shits and giggles!

    I believe that Eden has been pulled out of school for this. She was on screen for less than 2 minutes total. Mickie is really beginning to lose her shit. Each week it is becoming more and more difficult for her to keep it together. Andrew is annoying as all get out but I would take him over Heather any day of the week. Heather has her lips firmly attached to Mickie’s growing ass. Her and Andrew are just along for the ride because Mickie has made it clear that she is in charge of this hot mess. Please LOGO do not renew this show so Eden can go to school. Eden has become a walking and talking sassy trained seal.

    Wow. I did not realize this was still going.

    A book signing? Hasn’t this book been out quite some time?

    I think Mickie believed that Eden would have multiple offers by now. I don’t know why she believed that or why she thought it would matter. Only a few kids work enough in the right places to make their family rich. Even if Eden got a small role somewhere, it more than likely would be short term.

    Closet Fan, I am not sure Eden has ever been to school. Or, if so, she has been home notschooling long enough to forget what she learned.

    Was waiting all episode for Andrew to act like a true professional and drop Mickie and Heather, but no such luck. Am I wrong in suspecting that all the conflict on this show is scripted, because I would never tolerate that level of batsh*t crazy in my own office.

    @Closet Fan… Eden has not been to school since kindergarten and with that being said Kindergarten is the highest level that she has accomplished. Her dumbass mama would rather her be a drop out and take her to Hollywood thinking she is going to be famous and make her millions… WHICH isn’t going to happen EVER!! We see this show or in my situation read these comments because I cant bare to make myself watch this forsaken show and its really all about SPARKLEBABYEE!! Never has it been about Eden and whats best for her. Damn, where in the world is child services at.. this child needs to be in a enviroment of learning and we definetly know the only thing she is exposed to is her drunken all about myself mama and Cutabitch trying to apply makeup and do hair when she is only making her look like a damn madam. REALLY LOGO.. this shit is ridicoulous!! For goodness sakes.. how many more eps do we have to sit through.. please say its almost over and do not let this have another season!!

    The revolting part about this show (by what I already knew of mickie, from t&t, and by the recaps), is that I get the feeling that not only does the “e-team” know that they are not going to make Eden a star (if anything, they are permanently crippling any possible chance she had at a career in the entertainment industry), but that they don’t CARE, as long as they get THEIR airtime. The whole thing is at once sickening, and very sad.

    Your Majesty, *bow, scrape* can’t WAIT for the fullcap on this one! Schparkle is so lame. Why, when I’m in my (very un-royal) cups I invent curse words because there simply aren’t enough.

    The only thing sadder than that book signing is that awful, awful, book. I cringe every time I see it and when Eden handed a copy of it to that off Broadway director (different episode) I was mortified for her. Seriously, I get that Mickie is emotionally immature, narcissistic, and Historonic. I can accept that. What I cannot fathom is how someone could have such unbelievable bad taste. From Cradle to Crown? The thought of it feels like I’ve rubbed a urinal puck all over myself. F*cking. Gross.

    The episode? Meh.

    @PagGrandma – glad you brought up the clothing topic. I wondered if Eden’s outfits were screwing her over before she ever got to open her mouth (not that her speaking would help her). The word that comes to mind to describe her outfits is, TART. She looks like a tart. A ridiculous little tart.

    Interesting article about Mickie and Eden but not for hot heads like me. I had to stop reading it. Whenever I get insight into how this child is being raised I get furious. But it has a picture of Mr. Mickie and he’s not a bad looking guy. Check it out:

    I went to Amazon to look for the book to look at the reviews that turn out not to exist. There are two third-party sellers offering it, since even Amazon will not stock it, apparently. They both want $67.00 for a copy.

    I can tell you all there is SO much that everyone doesn’t see and it isn’t always very nice. The pageant world is so inbred that we allseem to know each other and some of us are actually friends (No, I am not friends with Mickie, lol) But let’s say IF there is a season two and more “free pageants” there is going to be a HUGE change.

    So Mickie is claiming in the article that Eden already has a college fund. How is that going to work? Don’t most colleges expect their students to know how to read?

    Poor Eden, she really does seem like a sweet girl surrounded by way more crazy that is good for her.

    Was this the one with the dogs? I couldn’t believe Heather took one look at Andrew’s cute poodle and snotted that she could take Eden to the POUND and let her pose with dogs. Take a little girl among a bunch of unwanted dogs rather than borrowing a beloved pet… one of these things is emotionally scarring and one is cute. You are not a dolphin, Heather.

    My fear for Eden? That someone will offer a movie role or some other tasty treat in exchange for a little ‘alone time’ with Eden and Shparkle will accept. I’d like to think Shparkle cares more for her daughter than that, but I’m just not sure.

    know someone that went to the lame Cutie Patootie Pageant.. and YES everyone has to pay to enter. Its not FREE. Eden tries to sell auotgraphs and they nickel and dime you to death. The little girl we know said her her and her mother thought it was a complete waste of time. Mickie and Andrew fighting then you throw cutabitch in there.. people were having to take their kids out of the room because there was so much arguing and fighting, cussing going on it was ridicoulous. Needless to say, she took her daughter and they left. Miss Sparklebaybee was making sure everyone knew it was all about her and Eden and anytime the cameras would go to another child she would get pissed off and storm out to the room…What a mess is all I can say.. when she told me what happened I was really not surprised but thought they would have more decency about themselves around other children.. guess not!! And they call themselves Classy.. give me a break!! Another reason to call child services.

    So Mickie is claiming in the article that Eden already has a college fund.

    Did she say how much is in it? She could buy a one-hundred-dollar savings bond and call that a college fund. And you are right — she needs to be able to read and write, or else she might have a little trouble with the entrance exams.

    Gun kata– mind you I have never seen the show, and i do not know the “cute poodle” in question, but I’d much rather see her photographed with pound dogs (who are also quite adorable and wouldn’t be “unwanted” if asshat backyard breeders didn’t keep pimping out their dogs to make a buck– but I digress)- good photos AND a chance, perhaps, to make a difference? Encourage people to adopt from rescues or shelters rather than lining the pockets of abusive puppymills? I am all for that. In the last 6 years, I have adopted 3 dogs from rescues or shelters– all purebred. Not a little dustmop dog, no, but awesome dogs– an English mastiff, a Boston terrier, and an old English bulldogge. I can’t stand heather, based on what I saw on eden’s t&t episodes, but she was right about this, IMO.

    Pageant Grandma, if I was seven I would be heartbroken to go to a pound where the dogs, cute or otherwise, do not have homes. The poodle was perfectly cute and belonged to someone. I was thinking of Eden’s mental health. I know there are adorable dogs at the pound, but no one might ever adopt them. And by the time the show aired, they might no longer be available. Eden has a lot of throwaway in her life. At home, she has dogs. The poodle supposedly belongs to Andrew. She might see it again. I doubt Heather will ever take her to the pound to see if the dog that was so cute was adopted.

    For people who haven’t seen the show, Heather was being a bitch with the pound remark. Anrew brought his dog so Eden could carry it in a doggy and me fashion show. So, Heather snotted that she could take Eden to the pound and take a photo of Eden with a dog. How that would help Eden in the fashion show, I do not know. But, she was complaining as she does. There was never, ever any chance of Heather taking even one photo to help the surely adorable pound dogs find homes. That is too much work for no money for her. Please note, my remark about the poodle being better meant only better for Eden since it was already owned by someone. I wish someone would help the pound dogs, but I don’t see Heather in that role. Eden might want to, but she cannot. So, it would make her sad. I think she has a full share of sad coming her way and, thus, doesn’t need anything else.

    April, exactly. And she carried on like it was totally a worthless gig. But, I thought it was a good idea. Eden just doesn’t fit in with Broadway because she can’t do much. She can, however, wear a costume and carry a small dog while smiling. Since that is about all this required, I thought Andrew had a good idea. And, you never know, some magazine might pick up the photos for filler because people like dogs even if they don’t recognize the minor celebrity in the picture.

    Timgunsister, Schparkle wouldn’t even have to agree anything unsavory. The E team is so preoccupied with themselves that they can barely remember to do their supposed jobs. So, we can only hope Eden is very lucky and doesn’t cross paths with anyone like that.

    April, on the totally lame website run by Des Moines Heather, the “find a cutie patootie pageant near you” link doesn’t even work. It’s little eden wood dot com. It ratcheted up my dislike of Heather quite a bit.

    If someone is lurking with a little girl you want to be famous, don’t give Heather money! Remember all of those expensive glitz photos Eden can’t even use.

    I don’t know what’s worse, Mickie and Heather being too willfully stupid to know that a publicist needs to have more than one client to pay the bills, or that Andrew cowed to their irrational rantings.

    As usual, there were no heroes in this episode.

    So far Audrey (run away! run away!) is the only hero in the whole series.
