I saw this a while ago, and have been looking for this for ages, and thank god for youtube. Living Dolls is a documentary about the child pageant circuit, focusing on one child, Swan Boomer. This thing is like a train wreck, and probably the creepiest thing ever. But, like a train wreck, you totally can’t stop watching. I am surprised Swan’s parents were not arrested for child abuse. Swan’s forced pageant smile is the saddest thing I’ve ever seen. Then their is her rival Leslie something, coached by a pageant manager or something. Sick. Sick and fascinating. Here are all 9 parts.
Update: here is Michael Butler’s website. Creeeeepy! Can I get arrested for looking at it?

You know “Living Dolls” the documentary, but do you remember “Living Dolls” the sitcom? It was a spinoff from “Who’s the Boss?” that aired for 13 weeks in 1989. It starred the mom from “The Waltons” as a den mother to four teen models, including a young Halle Berry and Leah Remeni of “King of Queens” fame. It was awful and I loved it!
CHRIS OMG. T so remember that sitcome and I luuuuurrrrved it. David Moscow was in it too! I wanted to be the slutty redhead! My friend and I would “play” Living Dolls with our Barbies. I am glad someone else remembered it, I thought I was crazy.
Stay out of my head MY BLOG LADY!
THis is soooo my shit.
I totally knew you’d be into this shit.
I am so happy you remember “Living Dolls.” I just looked up David Moscow on IMDB and he’s kinda hot.
