Child Beauty Pageants
Importance of families and royal status
As we know, family is the most important thing in our world. Because of this, you have to choose carefully who you let into your family, and the wealthier families need to think about this even more carefully.
The ultimate goal these wealthy families are aiming for is marrying their children to fairies - Glitter God’s personal servant and messengers, considered to be royalty and divine beings. Of course, royal diving beings like this won’t marry just anyone, they will only marry a queen worthy of their status. Traditionally, men who dress up as women have been referred to as drag queens since ancient times, so who are we to go against this tradition? If you take into account that our world suffers from a severe lack of women, it’s no surprise that these queens are still mostly men who dress up as women, though this doesn’t stop girls from participating in tradition as well. Even if they don’t marry a fairy, they can still become a queen to another wealthy man.
But how do we know if these kids are worthy of a queen status? A true proper queen, one that will be worthy of marrying a fairy, is expected to be smart, graceful, skilled in art and knowledge of religion and glitter bible. Only the best will be good enough for a fairy, and so their training starts at a very young age. To give these young boys and girls concrete motivation to learn and get better, yearly pageants are organized where the best out of these children is crowned as a little princess. She (or he) will become a real queen when she marries a fairy.
The Pageants
These pageants are events held in these rich neighborhoods each year. They start up with children as young as 3 years old, and last all the way until the end of primary school. In secondary school the kids are old enough to start attending meetup parties to hopefully meet their future spouse.
Preschool
During the ages 3-5, these pageants aren’t too serious. The kids at this age are to present themselves in two outfits, they are to showcase a talent, such as singing, dance, playing and instrument or such, and they are to have a short interview with the host where they are asked a few simple questions to introduce themselves. They are awarded points in each category, and the one with the most points wins.
Years 1-5
During the first half of primary school, things get a little more difficult. They still have to present two outfits, but this time they have to make one of them by themselves. Some help from their parents is still allowed, but you will get better points if you do all of the work by yourself. Now, they are required to show off two of their talents, and the questions in the interview get a little more difficult, including more questions about Glitter Bible.
Years 5-10
The things get yet a little more difficult in the second half of primary school. They are now required to completely style and create at least one of their outfits and showcasing their talent is more difficult as well. It’s not enough to only be better than the others in the competition, you are expected to showcase a talent beyond what any regular average kid might achieve. The questions you’re asked are now more heavy on Glitter Bible and general knowledge, and you’re also tested on several formal etiquette skills. There is a difference between a kid who knows a thing or two about Glitter Bible and knows how to sing well and someone who knows how to carry themselves as true royalty. Remember, no fairy will marry you, if you don’t even know how to sit down as a proper lady.
Importance of pageants and benefits of winning
While during the younger ages winning this pageant is merely a fun prize, it is now getting a little more serious. In secondary school, when these teens start looking for a future fairy husband, it will actually be important to know that you showcased better skills and knowledge of what it means to be a queen married to a fairy than anyone else.
As with everything else, these pageants may be different in different areas of the world. Central Area with its adjacent rich districts is known for biggest and fanciest pageants, while the pageants are much smaller in T@Ö#Å3, just as the fairy population is smaller there as well. Fairy Gardens are more focused on their tradition of festival queens, despite having the largest fairy population. Fairies there seem to be more humble and less picky about who to marry. But then again, Fairy Gardens is the wealthiest area in general and everyone there owns a big farm with a castle and unicorns, so technically everyone /is/ a princess. Idk, things are just different there.
