The X Factor

Pretty Ridiculous

Wendy Dickey caused quite a stir earlier this fall when her 3-year-old daughter Paisley was featured on TLC's "Toddlers & Tiaras." The cause of the controversy? Why, that would be the Georgia mother's decision to dress her daughter as Julia Roberts ... from "Pretty Woman ... more" ... at the beginning of the movie. That's right: Poor Paisley was made to strut around the pageant stage dressed as a fictional streetwalker. And outraged viewers and observers chimed in across the nation, not the least vociferous of which was the Parents Television Council, who quickly denounced TLC's decision to give the mother-daughter duo airtime. TLC offered no comment, but Dickey did respond, "I thought it was real cute to do Julia. She's 3. If she was 10, I never would have considered this. But as young as she is, I thought it was very comical."
