This long weekend I started doing the project. I've started by searching Toddlers and Tiaras on Youtube. I have some full episodes, some small clips of funny moments, some others clips of their different costumes. But, the most surprising thing that I found was fan videos of the beauty pageant participants! I've also found some video bloggers that made videos criticizing or making fun of this reality TV show.
The next step was finding other materials that I could use for the remix. I've thought of using an Obama speech about education or a TV show for kids. Then, I remembered that in one of the clips of Toddlers and Tiaras the participant was dressed as Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman and did a research about other famous prostitutes/strippers in movies. I did not know if I should be so provocative and shocking, by comparing little girls with prostitutes/strippers... But then I realized that for me it is that they are doing: they use their body to make money and they are being objects and they are playing a role when they are on stage.
During the remix I also put some parts of the participants complaining or being funny, in order to humanize them and to show they are just kids.
