Mercifully, our ep ends here. Remember, no new ep this week, next new ep is June 4. Americans, have a great holiday weekend. Canadians, go ahead and call in sick to work on Monday. I won’t tell.
We’re in the home stretch with this show, and coming soon, an exciting announcement about my next gig here at the Gasm! See you back here in June!
*Yes, I do know his name is Indashio, but I first heard it as Asiago, which is just that much funnier because cheese = comedy gold.

@PennyDreadful ROFL You made me have to put Kleenex on my eyes!
OMG I finally figured out what Heather’s pants were reminding me of!
Pat from those real old Saturday Night Lives! They stuffed her costume to look just like that!
And you know I’m never going to see anybody on this show again now without thinking about lumbering rhinos and adulterous dolphins and cute little mini stripper dolls.
I think they should have gone with the Asiago cheese show. Just in case Country Queen takes longer than they figure it will getting to number 1 on any of those lists of stuff people pay for.
I ♥ gun kata for knowing the Ogden Nash poem! But I’d be real surprised if any of the E Team did. They must be talking about a different purple cow.
Ooooh! I’m mentioned in the recap! But, the “purple cow theory” (that name, sigh) makes no sense.
I thought we found out Eden couldn’t read this episode? Or am I still in shock?
Shparkle, Heather, and cutabitch need to load up in the van and go tour the great distilleries of North America. Then Andrew needs to deliver their daughters to responsible adults who will send them to school. Then, he can go back to his previous job.
I can’t believe Sammy is wearing her crown thusly. Weird.
Kthxbai, aw shucks.
I would be literally terrified to find out how much the Eeeee Team doesn’t know.
Just in case there’s anybody that hasn’t seen it, here’s a youtube of an interview with Eden
I am printing out that picture of Heather in her khaki’s and plan to pull it out whenever I feel even remotely unattractive. WTF Heather? It’s like she goes out of her way to find the least flattering clothing available. Mickie’s got the Stevie Nicks look, Heather’s has the Scooby Doo Thelma thing going on and Eden is a 7 YO wearing full make-up on a Tuesday afternoon – fashion tragedy, comedy gold. Thank you Logo!
Oh, Gasmii. There is another song on the way: “Pageant Mama Drama” and they’re making a video!
http://www.americanstardiscovery.com/Casting.html
I thought Sammy was adorable. She is a cutie. I hate that something she enjoys is being ruined for her. Some of the girls like pageants and if they enjoy it, then I don’t have a problem with them doing them. She is old enough to actually know what she wants instead of the little girls who are forced to do it.
I about died laughing during Andrew and Heather’s meeting at the coffee shop. They just threw out one cliche after another and bad analogies. OMG!
Boy George was too much! Finally they found someone who wants to work with her and they turn him down. Even though I can understand why they did turn him down. He was too much! He was fun though.
Wow, she’s annoying in that interview. But, it is abundantly clear her mother didn’t know how to prepare her or how to get her back on track. This looks like one of those interview set ups where the interviewer and interviewee can only see one another. It may have been difficult for Eden to understand many people can see her. Also, it looks like a set up where the interviewee talks to multiple unseen people and basically does the same interview over and over. Shparkle has no idea what to do when the bottom line is maybe Shparkle didn’t need to put Eden through that in the first place.
I meant they can’t see one another. I guess i shouldn’t try to post a comment while someone is yelling at me.
So wait, Heather and Shparkle are dating, right? Or is it Heather and Fransolonely? Or is it Shparkle and Fransolonely? Or is that why Andrew is pissed, because it’s a threesome and he’s locked out – in more ways than one, I’m guessing? I’m just sensing a lot of gar-goil-on-gar-goil action (I’m seeing your Ogden Nash and raising you an E.E. Cummings).
Great recap – the scene with Andrew and Heatty snarking at each other made them both look like morons. If Eden were any good, a better agent/publicist/agency would have swooped in by now.
Hot mess of a show and I love every minute of it!
Sweet Jesus, anytime I feel like eating some fatting, I’m going to look at those pants and shut the fridge door. Is this show just getting worse or am I wrong in thinking this.
@ PD, ok, I’m calling in sick on Monday so don’t tell me boss
We had last Monday off as Victoria Day up here and I would love another long weekend.
I think that designer’s name is Indashio, or something like that. He was a contestant on a low-budget fashion show called “24-Hour Catwalk” that came on after “Project Runway.” Four designers had to throw together their creations in a couple of hours and then the final two had to come up with a “collection” within 24 hours. Indashio (or however you spell it) was highly obnoxious and defensive and set gay rights back about 100 years. Obviously, he didn’t win and even stormed out after an uncalled-for tantrum. It would be fun to see him, Schparkle and Heather getting into a big feud. I’m a bit sorry that they didn’t want to join up with him.
Thanks Gilty for the funny story about Boy George.
What is up with all these folks getting on whatever different reality show they can get on?
Gilty, omg… thank you for explaining about Indaisho. I watched some of “24 Hour Catwalk”, so that explains why he seemed oddly familiar.
April, they have casting boards and some try to get on as many as they can. Since Indaisho has finally made Logo maybe he’ll feel the fabulousness within and stop sneaking onto reality shows.
So, did he get cast on this show through a casting call on the reality show OR was Andrew a big fan of “24 Hour Catwalk”? Haha.
Poor Eden.
Dear Mickie– please put Eden back in real school. Preferably not in asscrack-of-nowhere Arkansas. Put her in dance classes at your local studio. Get her involved in the local children’s theatre. Get her voice lessons. If she eventually has any real talent, someone will let you know. In the meantime, please let her be a kid, before she has no other marketable skills above what she learned in pageants (which she clearly loved, but it’s like being a t-ball star, and expecting to play for the tigers!).
Good luck, Gran! If you have been reading the comments since PennyDelightful began recapping this travesty you’d know that we have all given the same advice over and over ad finitum.
You are the pageant savvy one and know how to work the message boards. Get the word out there to the pageant moms and grans and maybe someone might be able to reach her.
If anyone could get through that ego to whatever brain lies encrusted therein.
Our advice here doesn’t seem to work. And repeating it here doesn’t help. Although we shall try.
@Dear Crabby – My theory is that Shparkle and Heather have a little somethin’ going on…Heather is married, who knows if Micki still is….but that didn’t stop Ted Haggard…or John Travolta. Staying in the closet while LOGO signs your paycheck…not cool.
@kthxbai-PAT, Ha Ha. I thought of SNL too.
Heathen’s pants reminded me of the SNL commercial “OOPS, I Crapped My Pants”.
Ash1, to paraphrase Tina Turner, what’s cool got to do with it?
Unfamiliar territory to those two.
I’m putting that pants pic on the ‘fridge!
I did a miniscule bit of research on Indashio, just enough to find out that he’s been featured on various VH1 and MTV shows. LOGO is under the same parentage as MTV and VH1, so it stands to reason that he’s an easy in on any show connected with those channels. He was even crowned “Glam God” on some MTV “reality” show. I’m sure he’ll show up again somewhere. His clothes are definitely in the hoochie-mama/club-bimbo category, so I don’t know he figures a six-year-old can be a client or shill for his designs. But then, he and Schparkle Mother Mickie will do anything for publicity, fame whores that they are. I’m really surprised Mickie turned him down. It’s just too bad a small child has to be a pawn in egotistical adults’ pathetic, attention-seeking goals.
Has anyone else seen Anna Nicole Smith’s daughter? She was photographed with her father recently at some event. It’s eerie how much she looks like a more streamline version of Eden. She probably has a more normal life than Eden, since she’s been kept under the radar for the most part.
@Gilty – Dannielynn does look a lot like Eden. Foutunately, her dad seems to have some sense, so the similarity will probably end there. She was photographed at the Kentucky Derby. She lives in Kentucky, so it was probably just a fun family outing, he does really try to keep her out of the spotlight. Unlike Eden, her beauty looks like it will endure. Eden will hit her prime around 12 and then become what my mother would call a “cheerleader gone to seed.” aka…Micki and Heather. Actually, Heather does have her old HS cheerleader pics on facebook and… yikes!
Oh ash1 I love your mom!! Cheerleader gone to seed is now part of my vocabulary.
With your permission, of course.
*giggle snort* love it!
I have always said that Eden looks like ANS. She never gave up a child for adoption, did she?
Yay! Thank you, Ms. Dreadful, for posting photos of Heather in those hideous khakis that were mentioned last week (or some week). Although I now need some Extra Strength Eye Bleach.
Whoever mentioned Heather’s, erm, “style” standing out in NYC is SO right (from a previous ep…I’ve yet to read these comments yet, but I am looking forward to them). How is it possible that Shparkle, with all her dreams of fame and fortune (and therefore endless amounts of booze) does not see that Heather’s image might actually be important to her spawn’s success?
Poor Eden. She needs a REAL role model sooner rather than later. I never thought this would happen with EDEN but maybe we need to find her an adoptive home? She’s actually not a bad kid.
@BedHeadJen and kthxbai: Thank you both for the most excellent memories of when SNL was consistently funny. It’s kinda hit or miss now (but I still watch). Some of the digital shorts are soooo funny.
Oh! I did see one photo of Dannielynn…that child is absolutely STUNNING, at least in the picture I saw.
Oh, and Ms. Dreadful, its perfectly okay by me, at least, if you want to curse up a storm, LOL. No *s needed for expletives
Well, I’m just glad you’re here, and I can’t wait to know what’s next for you and the Gasm!
@showshoe…mom will be so pleased…in spite of that, I think I’ll tell her anyway
Oh Em Gee Ash, you’ve got one of those too? No, don’t tell her. Let’s get them together.
Danielynn’s dad only allows her to be photographed at the Derby each year. Its an outing they’ve made every year. He’s worked very hard to keep her out of the limelight and give her as normal a childhood as possible. I applaud him voraciously for that!
This show is about as one dimensional as Eden’s acting. Glad the recaps are here so I don’t have to watch the swill.
@gun kata She did lots better on the Wendy Williams show. But yeah all it takes is watching that other 1 to see she’s got a total of 0 people that know what they’re doing.
If Mickie knew how many $ she probably lost Eden just from that 1 train wreck appearance she’d have an apoplectic fit. People that might’ve been thinking about using her since she was getting exposure going, umm, nah. We don’t have enough budget for a crap shoot.
@snowshoecat LOL I bet between this and Toddlers and Tiaras they could find a whole How To Not Shoot Your Kid You Think Is Talented In The Foot book!
Free Eden! The only pics that I can remember seeing of Danielynn are from the Derby and I am glad. Everyone was said he would whore her out and he said he wouldn’t and so far he has not. Good for him. It is horrible for a little girl to lose her mother. Danielynn is most likely living a much more normal, out of the spotlight life. Eden looks a lot more like ANS than she does Mickie.
I loved that Sammy wore the crown upside down and sideways in her confessional; I think that may be her way of giving this farce of a show an FU. If so, she almost joins Audrey in achieving hero status.
I keep wondering when Mickie will realize that she can’t buy her untalented daughter fame; all the money she’s spent ($150,000+ and a double mortgage on the house) were for “skills” that not only would not help Eden get a real job in Hollywood, but are actually detrimental. Casting and talent agents want fresh, quirky, talented kids, not a trained monkey that is tone deaf, can’t read and can’t speak clearly. Of course the answer to that is “never.”
I wonder if Eden quitting pageants is because her father finally put his foot down and said no more and the only way Mickie can keep dragging her daughter around is if LOGO pays for it.
I have not actually seen this show (we don’t get Logo), but just reading the recaps makes me want to cry for this poor kid. Sure, she was “famous” on t&t– so are lots of other talentless kids with crazy parents. Pageants can be a great activity, but to fool yourself or your child into believing they’ll be a “stepping stone” to any other sort of positive notoriety… It’s just not going to happen. Expecting a pageant kid to automatically be able to be a talented actor is like expecting the t-ball star to play in the NHL. (and yes, I realize that I mixed my metaphors there, but that’s the point). They’re two totally unrelated skill sets. Pageant kids are taught to do things in a very “practiced” way. Casting directors for child actors want a natural kid who can memorize lines, and not sound “rehearsed”. This poor kid… She can’t read, at nearly 7. Sure, kids learn at different paces, but properly homeschooled kids (who don’t have to fight for the teacher’s attention with 30 other kids, and for whom the curriculum can be individually tailored) usually have an advantage in that department. Ugh.
Gram. yup, that’s what we’ve been saying.
She wasn’t much of a pageant kid either, since, as we have noted, her major talent has been prancing around the stage and knocking over her cardboard Elvis (to a toddler, “who?”).
Ah, yes… Gotta love the routines/themes/props where the kids are all “who?!”.
Some responsible family member, if there is one, needs to take Eden and place her in school. Decide which skill they think she should study first: singing, dancing, or acting. Get her lessons. After she learns to read and is otherwise caught up with her age group, she can enroll in the other two. Let her do these things to see what happens with her… maybe after she gets some training she will prove to have some talent.
Schparkle cannot train Eden any more. She is still talking to Eden like she’s two years old. When Eden was getting her photo made and Schparkle and HillHeather shouted, “Be model girl” (to the photographer’s horror) it became clear what they’ve done. They have trained her to halfway tune out her instructions before they give her some insipid command dumbed down, but calculated to create a Palovian response in Eden. When the ridiculous E Team is barred from her audition, she becomes a bit nervous when people talk to her in a normal manner. She may think everyone will burst out with “sparkle” or “be model girl” or whatever else, so she’s waiting for her cue.
Young children can’t sit through multiple interviews where a disembodied voice asks the same questions ten other disembodied voices have already asked her. It would have been better if Eden’s goofy mother had answered the questions only relying on Eden to say a few words, if anything. She has to interact with real people. It seems a lot of people who meet her in person find her to be pleasant.
Mickie also needs to call things by their proper name. It may be too late to change Eden’s vocabulary because Mickie corrupted it at such an early age with things like, “spittin’ out your words.” But, I guess that is the sum total of Mickie’s own understanding which is yet another reason she isn’t the best coach for Eden. If she doesn’t want anyone else to teach her, then Mickie will need to let Eden peacefully retire to first grade.
Some of the other little pageant girls are putting out their own records. I saw Paisley also has one called “Country Queen.” I don’t know if these are the same songs or just the same title. People commenting on Paisley’s said she is a better singer than Eden. I have no idea and don’t care.
Additionally, a studio is not just a studio. I have known more than one person who had home recording studios. And I have been in a real one, but it was an older one. They have very good recording facilities in Nashville and Atlanta if Mickie somehow cannot drag herself back to New York. Granted, those places might charge money. But, they might be able to sweeten Eden’s song.
Schparkle, HillHeatty, and Cutabitch just need to travel around in their van while Andrew and his dog return to New York. And Eden goes to school! I don’t care what the delusional trio does. But, anything will be better than what they are doing now.
Oh, and every single one of these idiotic adults should be carrying around multiple copies of Eden’s resume and headshots. They should even give Eden a cute little portfolio and when she goes in by herself and someone asks her for these items, she can open her portfolio and take them out. It would be adorable and show Eden has some slight clue what she is doing.
If she shows up with four grown people (plus however many more adults are filming her), plus a DOG and no one has a single thing she needs… How can anyone cast her? For all they know, these halfwits (apologies to halfwits who aren’t part of this fiasco) will ever find their way to the theater again? They need a kid they feel they can trust the parents (or whomever) to always have the kid wherever they need to be when they need to be there.
I have been thinking for a while that Schparkle thinks someone will create an entire show around Eden. But, why would they do that? Mackenzie and Vivi-anne from Dance Moms are no older than Eden, but they can do a lot more than she can. Also, no one constantly talks to them like they are two years old. Maddie and Kendall from DM and Kimmie and Lucas (and maybe Mia) from DMM are only a little older… granted years count a lot in young ages, but still. I think given the tools, Eden could conduct herself like a normal seven year old at least.
Finally, there are so many easy ways to educate little kids. There are websites, books that read themselves, and DVDs. If they’d give Eden any of these she might even be able to teach herself how to read. There are also classic books for young children in the public domain so she can read them for free online if no one will bother to get her books so she can practice and improve. If I had children, I am sure I’d be able to list 100 more things!
A few years ago, when my career had me traveling with the touring cast of The Lion King, there was an extremely talented little boy playing the role of young Simba. There was another kid in the same role (child labor laws), who was younger, and not nearly as good. At the end of their 6-mo contracts, not-as-good was extended. Talent-boy was cut loose, not because of of him, but because no one could stand his overbearing mother. Fast forward several years, and not-as-good still has an active career, and talent-boy is a has-been. NAG’s mom would drop him off into the hands of the “child wranglers” (“what do you do for a living?”. “I wrangle children!”) and LEAVE. Mickie could learn a thing or three from NAG’s mom.
@RedRabbit- I thought Sammy wore her crown that way because she was trying to hide Cutabitch’s work.
Gram, I’m impressed! Didn’t realize you had cred. Why on this green earth do you advocate pageants (yes, I know your granddaughter does them) rather than acting as a creative way for kids to develop their self-confidence, poise and everything else that comes from absolutely everything but beauty pageants? (notice a wee bit of prejudice here?)
If your community does not have theatre for children, go to the school board, PTA, local institute of higher education, whatever, and get a program going. Start one yourself. Whatever your stage background is, you’d be better than Minnie–I mean Mickie.
BedHead, unfortunately the crown wasn’t big enough to cover all that damage.
Gunny, you are hilarious! “Some responsible family member, if there is one…” Why do I get the vibe that their family tree resembles a telephone pole?
Snowshoecat, haha… i think there’s some branching since Eden looks normal. I just don’t know how big her family is, I read her grandmother died.
Also, isn’t Heather making $ off these faux pageants kind of… off. It hardly motivates her to do what is best for Eden since Eden is her drawing card.
Ryan Talent turns out to be from Des Moines, Iowa. I figured they were from whatever Arkansas city is nearest to Eden’s home, but nope.
Let’s see… High school biology… Guinea pigs… Heterozygous rough + heterozygous smooth =. Whatever, I figure that there has to be an anomaly somewhere down the line, and it sure ain’t ol’ Minnie. Eden must be the first branch in generations.
BTW, gunny, I love the idea of giving her a “cute little portfolio” because she seems to be the only responsible one out of the batch.
Snowshoecat, I can just so see her doing that. People she meets do seem to like her, but they don’t think she has one clue about what she’s trying to do. And they are, um, correct. And, I do think she wants to do well, but no one has taught her how.
This being said, I don’t know if Eden needs to be in the entertainment business. Most kids don’t seem to be able to handle it. I guess because when they grow up, slack is no longer cut and it is a shock to them how different things are for adults. If a kid comes in unprepared, everyone says people will at least spend a few moments with the kid. But, if an adult comes in like that, oh hell no… they’ll be outside so fast their head won’t even have time to spin.
Then going in with management from Des Moines? Er, no. New York is so freaking competitive. You need NEW YORK management. I am not sure even L.A. management will work (I know, it’s a small town… it’s in California). Andrew has no clout and is probably just an actor, but he is right that they need someone besides Heather.
Get this forsaken show off the air.. For goodness sakes.. we have all had enough of this mess!!
Hey Talkit, “they” whoever they are won’t yank it until it stops being the proverbial (purple) cash cow, and that won’t happen until it fails to disgust the audience. And then we will all have to go back to doing what we’ve been hired to do.
Sad that the 7 year-old seems to be more responsible than the “adults” around her. Oh my, this travesty of a show inspires so much punctuation.
PennyDelightful, you give us so much to talk about!
I am reading more than just here that people aren’t watching. They’re going off recaps, promos played during other shows, etc. A lot of people seem to think just like we do: if we were laughing at just Mickie or Heather or Andrew or cutabitch, that’d be fine. But, Eden will be the one left illiterate, heartbroken, and confused as to what happened to her.
She’s been convinced she is a star. She’s not around other kids in the business. She’s only around these girls she ‘coaches’ who have been in fewer pageants than her (by a lot). I think she knows she has to work, but I believe she thinks she IS working. I know the Logo show isn’t playtime, but how much is she learning? I believe they’ve convinced her if she’s dressed up cute* (*or what looks cute to her young eyes) and acts pert, everyone will adore her. Which, they may. But, not in a “you’re hired” way. From what I gleaned from PD’s previous recap, Eden outed herself as a non-reader, so she knows she is deficient there and feels the best she can do is admit it.
I also am starting to get the feeling Eden thinks “Broadway” is just a super delux pageant, so her skills will serve her at some point. How would she know any different? Has she ever been to a show? Met e Broadway kids?
After this episode- I’m speechless. I actually do watch it because it’s like the car wreck on I 495 I can’t tear
myself away from-
I believe gun kata covered it all.
Well said, gunny!
Sad show; HILARIOUS recap! The captions were especially funny: Eden and Sammy speaking street to their “peeps” indeed.
(Although…pageant girls are a lot like Peeps, if you think about it. Brightly colored, artificially sugary, 100% unnatural, enjoyable only in tiny doses, and damned unhealthy.)
Merry, your peeps analogy is perfect.
And yes, Gunny, you covered it all.
Tragic.
Before the show started the promos that played consisted of Eden shown on screen while you hear Mickie in the background telling Eden to do her homework. Which by now we all know she does not have homework. I wonder if that was Heather’s idea or Logos?
Why is Eden always dressed like Miss Kitty from Gunsmoke? She would probably be more comfy in jeans, a hoodie and Keds.
Closet, think that might be Minnie letting the whole world (both viewers) know what a real kid her incredibly awesome mother has?
Note the emphasis, as always, is on Mothah!!!!
Miss kitty!!!! Sad that it isn’t Hello Kitty at her age.
Thanks Snowshoecat and Pat Ledoux.
Closet Fan, I am thinking ol’ Schparkle herself threw in the “do your homework” line. I am sure she is pleased as punch with how well she’s homeschooling. Miss Ican’tread won’t get very far.
Eden probably thinks “pretty hands”, “pretty feet”, and “bring Mama something from that little refrigerator” are homework assignments. Along with making weird faces. Is she just randomly doing that or do they delusion that she’s learning something.
why do they keep letting Cutabitch keep putting makeup on Eden.. She does not do pageants anymore.. She looks like a madam everytime I see her.
@gun kata I’ve been getting the feeling Mickie thinks “Broadway” means a super deluxe kind of pageant.
And she means for her baby girl to bring home some of those Ultimate Grand Tony Supreme crowns.
Kthxbai, OMG… you might be right.
Some kids, I can see why their parents think they could be on Broadway. They really DO sing, dance, and act. And they are able to act more mature than their age at least while they are at work. I really do not see what in the world Eden can do on Broadway. I am not an expert, but well… compared to Spharkle.
Playboy is always there for the ones who don’t make it into the Playbill.
For those who have actually seen the show: (I haven’t– don’t have logo): what does Eden wear at these auditions they send her to? Because if the pics are any indication, the “e-team” are screwing this child 8 ways from Sunday before she can even read her lines. Kid actors are expected to wear very plain outfits (khakis and a polo are usually recommended), with pics that look like they do, and the ability to either read and memorize (or just memorize, if they are too young to read) lines. And speak in a way that doesn’t need to be subtitled. I weep for eden. She has no hand in this. What a waste.
PGram, The E-Team, or producers (most likely) are milking their little (purple) cash cow for all she’s worth. They showed up for an audition a few epis back with neither resume (that could have been written on a matchbook cover) nor headshots. Notice how she is dressed (as one Gasmi wrote) like Miss Kitty for a recording session in somebody’s basement.
Professionalism has nothing to do with this travesty, so don’t even think about the possibility.
It would almost be amusing, except that there is an actual human child involved, who didn’t ask to be born into this trainwreck. Ugh.
@Pageant-grandma You’d think they’d pick that up just from watching ANTM. How many times has Tyra said to put jeans and a plain white tank top on? Even for a modeling job.
To make them see a blank canvas. So the director’s mind’s eye can start painting on it. People that show up in a Cleopatra suit probably won’t get picked to be Kristin Lavransdatter.
Someone must have told them to tone it down. Because she was wearing a more subdued outfit for the TV show audition. It was all pink… a long sleeved shirt with a sparkly heart on it and a tulle skirt. The little girl who read with her was dressed much more simply. Eden had her hair styled more simply than usual, but not as simply as the other girl.
When she walked in, several children were there. They all have their resumes and headshots and so did Eden (miracle). But, then Eden went up to the ladies and confessed she couldn’t read… in front of the other kids. She is trying her best… it’s sad. They did like her, so I don’t know if that was for TV (knowing she’d see it) or for real. I guess if she turns up on a TV show other than this one, we will know.
Oh, but she brought a pageant photo and it looks like it’s from a couple of years ago. It’s a cute photo (not full glitz), but the balcony photos would probably be better.
Do you think that any of the farcical E-Team has any concept of professionalism? Any?
PGram, yes, it is nothing short of tragic. It is like a really bad sit-com on steroids, except that ther is a small, trusting human being there who is being laid at the altar of her mother’s ego. And Logo’s greed. Or whoever is behind the whole mess.
And wait!! There’s more! Another little kid is being brought into the arena.
And the viewing public are right there for it all. Bring on the lions. Bring on the gladiators. Bring on the little girls.
I wonder if this show will be renewed? The cast obviously isn’t getting rich, so it can’t cost much.
I think Andrew might be something besides only an actor. He’s the person to talk to if you want Victor or Angel to teach a master class. So, another reason he fights with HillHeather.
HillhHeather declared she’d “been on this train for three years.” I know she wants the cast to collect fees so more little kids can be in the “cutie patootie” pageants. And “RyanTalent” will evaluate kids for star potential… or something at their site, but it’s not free. Which, with all that, you’d think she would have the money to dress better.
@BedHeadJen, I hadn’t thought of that! I think you’re on to something.
“She’s been convinced she is a star. She’s not around other kids in the business.”
I’ve been watching So You Think You Can Dance and America’s Got Talent and both shows had 5 and 6-year-olds who were genuinely talented. The former had two little kids who joined mom on stage and they did a mean shuffle; even the 2-year-old had rhythm and could point her toes and step in time with her 5-year-old brother. On the latter they had a troupe of Irish step dancers and the 5-year-old girl danced like a pro and kept up with the older kids. All of them, even the 2-year-old, left Eden in the dust and could shuffle and step-dance rings around Mickie’s dumb delusions.
Oh and some of the little kids could sing pretty well, they weren’t shouting tunelessly Eden-style.
“Honey Boo Boo” Alana is getting her own show. Normally I’d be appalled but the idea of Mickie banging her head off the wall because some other kid got the coveted TLC spinoff makes me hope that Alana’s show is a smashing success.
I’m evil.
Little kids sometimes think they can do things until they actually try them. Like the episode with the little girl who was the dancer (the one whose mom thought she was on a show about adoption probably right up until cutabitch gave her a bad knockoff of an early 1960s hairstyle). Mickie said she wished she could dance like that and Eden said she could. She probably believed it, too. She’d probably tell a casting director, too. For one thing, in theory she even has her own dance the “cutsie roll.” (Sigh)
Eden’s just been allowed to do whatever she can manage and call it dancing. If she ever has to learn choreography in a room full of children whose parents sent them to dance class since they were two, it will be bad.
Furthermore, there is no telling what kinds of outlandish things the insipid E team has put on Eden’s resume. And she may well believe her skills in those areas are exceptional because she’s been told she’s a superstar and the next Shirley Temple, Judy Garland, and whomever would be an example in Eden’s memory… Selena Gomez?
@gun kata, exactly. The E-team incompetence, it burns.
Here’s some dirt from a mother whose little girl used to do pageants. They went to one held by Heather in KY. She says her daughter won a Grand Supreme there and Heather tried to sign her up for her agency. However the whole thing was really sketchy: she talked about her production company which, as far as the mom could tell was just Heather’s husband and another relative who filmed the pageant. The pageant itself was very small and disorganized. The mom asked around and no one was impressed with Heather. She still gets emails from her and it’s all about reality shows, Toddlers & Tiaras, etc. No real work. No real modeling. (And there was a huge difference between Heather and the other modeling agencies the mom spoke to.) She knew right away that Heather was shady and wouldn’t do anything for her daughter, plus it was based in Paducah, KY which is not exactly the capitol of modeling in the US.
It’s no secret in the real world that if you are not in Chicago, la, or ny, you are a “real” modeling agency. That’s where the real work happens, and that’s where the real agencies are. Heather is in DeMoines Iowa– yeah. An acquaintance of mine was approached by heather– she charges for her services. No REAL agent charges. They make money by getting you work. they get a cut of your pay. T
I have seen this episode now.
First, Sammy is a charming little girl and kind of wasted on pageants. Maybe she will find another fun activity.
I understand why they recorded in Mississippi now… to get Sammy to participate. Eden was only doing a demo. She sounds like a cat screeching, so if the dude in Mississippi did this for free, that was probably a good thing.
FIRE HEATHER AND CUTABITCH! No one wants to talk to a fly by night type of “manager” as Heather appears to be. And no one gets their agent in Des Moines unless they ONLY want to work in Iowa. She is a poorly dressed, argumentative, territorial, unskilled leech. She is making money off using Eden’s name to recruit other girls whose parents don’t know any better.
I imagine Andrew is looking out for number one as well, but he is based in New York and has lined up some opportunities.
Why did Andrew snit at Ma Grimley? So weird.
The doggie and me fashion show wasn’t the end all and be all events, but it was something. Eden has plenty of outfits and Andrew has a dog for her to carry. Someone might pick up the pictures. They are cute especially if you aren’t being subjected to “Underpuppy” blaring in the background.
I don’t even understand why Heather was ranting about going to the pound and taking photos. You know she is not about to adopt a dog no matter if the most awesome dog ever born happens to be there and Eden couldn’t very well do the fashion show carrying a photograph.
When Eden was on The View she had a puppy with her. I got the impression it was one of her dogs from home, but there is really no telling. I wonder what ever happened to it?
Sharon Osbourne asked Eden what her hobbies were. Eden said she liked playing with the puppy she had with her as well as the other dogs at home. I thought Sharon was nice to Eden. Eden was paying more attention to the puppy than anyone else at that point because she was taking its bonnet off so she could pose with it.
word has it heather jumpped ship and found another pregent kid!!!! she took over the old facebook and website page..poor eden!!!
Just wanted to add to the purple cow confusion:
The Purple Cow is a yumm-yumm-yummy local chain in Central Arkansas. Total old-school diner feel. Their signature item is the Purple Cow float (grape soda and purple vanilla ice cream). They also make a Purple Cow milkshake but that’s just a plain vanilla milkshake that happens to be purple.
I never feel like standing still after having a Purple Cow, but whatevs.
