Interesting But There Are Better Documentaries, June 25, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Beauty Pageants - Bright Lights, Big Business [VHS] (VHS Tape)
There has been a increase recently in documentaries covering beauty pageants, particularly child beauty pageants. While this one is informative and gives a detailed history of how beauty pageants started it is not the best documenatary covering this subject. There isn't very much coverage about children's pageants but the film does give some interesting pieces of information about the adult pageants. One example is of a Universal pageants in which one of the Scandinavian contestants wore a risque gown which looked like leftover costume from the movie Showgirls. Unles you are a diehard pageant fan with a burning desire to become informed about the history of pageants, my advice would be to purchase one of the videos from the A&E channel or the recent HBO documentary entitled Living Dolls.
