À propos du livre
Sparkle, baby explores girl culture in Australia within the phenomena of beauty pageants, particularly those directed at the young. Through documenting child pageants, I seek to understand if participating in these events increases the pressure on young girls to conform to an idealised view of what it means to be female or rather, is it a celebration of girlhood? It is not about why they compete in child pageants, but rather, who or what in society is telling them to do so?
Through allowing me access to their 'competitive lives' I have been enabled by these girls to tell their story, not just as individuals, but as part of a developing culture.
