They're pretty niche, and have had no reason to be mentioned on these boards.

The modern child beauty pageant emerged in the early 1960s, held in Miami, Florida. Since then, the industry has grown to include about 250,000 pageants. It is an increasingly lucrative business, bringing in about twenty billion dollars a year to the Americas with its popularity spreading worldwide.

"Pretty niche"

Cut the BS and just say it doesn't fit your agenda
